And so I was reading Necronomicon: The Wanderings of Alhazred by Donald Tyson where I learned about the Plateau of Leng. Anyway, as an experiment, I tried meditating and doing just as the grimoire prescribes, that is "taking over" a host body and exploring the area for myself.
Once in there, I was approached by a horseman who dismounted and came at me with a sword. I remember learning about the ancient cavalry soldiers and how they would actually dismount to fight because stirrups hadn't been invented yet and so they could not fight on horseback. Anyway, I know many forms of hand to hand combat and I quickly grabbed the sword arm, kneed him in the groin, dragon toe punched him in the throat before bringing my hand around his neck for a braced head butt to the nose. (Hits with about 5 times more force that way I'm told.) Then I brought my other hand to his neck and snapped it. (I know many ways to kill with my bare hands and if you can get close enough, snapping the neck is by far, the easiest method. All of those moves are kenpo.)
I then walked up to his horse and petted it after killing it's master. I somehow knew this animal's name was Firefly. I explored more of the area with Firefly in tow and learned a little about the local flora and fauna before returning back to my own body. I now somehow "know" that I have a horse somewhere named Firefly and I guess it could be construed as a shamanic "power animal" from the lower planes? I also studied the old techniques of shamanism and understand that I might be able to draw upon Firefly when I need more energy for any reason...
What the crap happened back there?
