What a relief to return to the maddening unknowability of ageless things from beyond the bounds of infinite space

Was a little creepy but I couldn't really get into this one... I kept thinking that Barzai the Wise was probably just nuts and they'd all finally get to the top and see him jumping around yelling about gods on his own. How convenient when Atal was nearly at the top Barzai starts yelling that he's seen the Gods but Atal shouldn't look cause now other gods have turned up and they're evil. Sure Barzai, sure.
But in seriousness, it was an okay story, typical Lovecraft themes and tropes, just not standout to me.

The story is short and pretty good. It is a bit too vague to be scary. While it is not clear what happened, the fact that it is very short makes it hard to care for a character that is only known for wanting one thing that, from the beginning, sounds like a bad idea.
