Depends on what you summon.  Some of htem might be able to get to both of you.

That was somewhat misleading on my part. Think of it as self-confidence, self-image, the ego, and other such things, not people skills. Someone with a low Charisma who goes insane is probably suffering crippling self-doubt or has a skewed perception of him/herself (or, given the power of the entities in the Cthulhu mythos, an accurate perception of his or her place in the universe).

Not to mention what happens if you bork the summoning

"I AM ZUL, 4TH COUSIN OF TSATHOGGHUA!"


"um...I just wanted a Shantak Bird..."

"YOU WILL TAKE ME AND LIKE IT!"

umm...  ???

I'm just saying, once you attract the attention of a Hound of Tindalos, You're effectively dead.
Normally, you get there attention via Time Travel, (I think I know who [read: what] the impossible astronaut was. o.O ), but summoning would work too.

Obviously you tried to summon something from the wrong time span.
The mind transcends the body.
It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,
I can barely read mine.

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"
