The Deep Ones


 “Certainly, the terror of a deserted house swells in geometrical rather than arithmetical progression as houses multiply to form a city of stark desolation. The sight of such endless avenues of fishy-eyed vacancy and death, and the thought of such linked infinities of black, brooding compartments given over to cob-webs and memories and the conqueror worm, start up vestigial fears and aversions that not even the stoutest philosophy can disperse.” 


The academics at Miskatonic Univeristy have discovered that there is a bargain between the town of Innsmouth and the Deep Ones and humans, in which the aquatic species provides plentiful fishing and gold in the form of strangely formed jewelry. In return, the land-dwellers give human sacrifices and a promise of "mixing"—the mating of humans with Deep Ones. Although the Deep One hybrid offspring are born with the appearance of a normal human being, the individual will eventually transform into a Deep One, gaining immortality—by default—only when the transformation is complete. 


This abomination must stop and the men and women of Miskatonic University are just the ones to do it!


The "Deep Ones" are primed resin figures from Dungeon & Dragons Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures line of unpainted primed resin figures from WizKids. They are the Gray Slaad & Death Slaad and come 2 to a pack and I plan on getting a few others. What is also great, the same line has a Chulthu that looks just great and it is only a matter of time that I pick it up - and its only a little more than $12 US. The entire range has useful figures and accessories for Victorian Sci Fi, Steampunk and Pulp games.
