Dimensional Shamblers explained

Name: VIPPER 2011-04-15 20:23

The knowledge of dimensional shamblers is carefully shrouded in protective lies, and know that by learning this knowledge, you will uncover yourself from this protection.

Nyarlathotep dreams many dreams apart from our one – dreams so terrifyingly alien, they are nightmares without end, yet these dreams are separated by veils just as terrifyingly thin to those who knows how to part them and cross them. Few humans can cross them, and only the mad ones can part them, but those humans who stray too far, can find themselves lost on the other side of the veil, sometimes trapped forever. These are called dimensional shamblers, and spoken of as zombies, to protect the listener from the horrible truth.

A human can cross the veil by venturing into a place where the veil is thin, and getting in touch with the other side of it, through reading extradimensional discoveries (through documents) experiences, and sensations. However, the consciousness of extradimensional beings within the other dimension is a very strong catalyst, even from a distance.

Dimensional shamblers are lost, and with the desperate instinct of those drowning, they attempt to grab a hold of another conscious human in other to drag themselves back into the normal dimension. However, more often than not, this will fail, and their victim will be dragged into their dimension instead, becoming trapped along with them as one of them.

The physical appearance of a dimensional shambler is a perfectly normal (though distressed and maddened) human being, but as its appearance and personification can cause a bond strong enough to drag another human over, the human psyche protects the watcher somewhat, by causing a psychosis that blur the facial features into a blank slate where the face would be. This effect only works at a distance, though.

To an outsider, the victim of a dimensional shambler is that it turns into one of them, by losing its human features.

Some shamblers carry weapons in order to protect themselves, from creatures as well as humans, but some are determined enough to bludgeon any humans into a helpless state, and try to drag themselves out over their dying body.

I must confess that I have tricked you, reader. You see, I have sent this very information from the wi-fi laptop I carried with me as I crossed over. I hope you understand - it is my only means to cross back into your dimension again, and if I fail, and you start to hear strange noises outside your window tonight, well, at least I tried.

"Behind the veil" is a pretty religious term, a concept which you in this case stretch until it breaks, and I therefore assume that you don't have a proper education on the matter:

In the case of Irem, the calling isn't obstrued by a veil, because Nyarlathotep doesn't dream in actual dimensions. The "call" in the arabian desert is a seamless influence, but rare because it comes from two extradimensional sources (Nug and Yeb) very closely connected to the nexus of this influence (Shub-Niggurath). Nug and Yeb does not pour through an opening in a veil supposed to be guarding us from lust, because there simply is no veil, but through an extradimensional gate provided by Yog-Sothoth.

Likewise, if you read a piece of paper, you will be transported into a more alien dream through a separate channeling (supposedly by Nyarlathotep) of one dream into another, and not through the writing, mortal intention, or the medium of the message. When you write something that summons fear, you directly create a weak "gateway" into this other existence. You can write basically anything from anywhere, and if the reader is weak enough, he or she will be sucked into its influence, where the dimensional shamblers roam.
