I had to take a minute to catch my breath. The last encounter was absolutely brutal. My swings were connecting but didn't seem to do much until the very end. That swing connected with the Shaman and took him down. The damage they inflicted was great though.
It's not often you see someone ripped in half. I don't wish anyone else to have to see that. Unfortunately, this probably won't be the last time we see it on this journey. Mola was a good man and had re-established himself after his slavery for sport. Godspeed, Mola.
Throughout this journey, we've been getting hints at the evil we are dealing with. After this encounter, we are intimately with the evil we are dealing with. The skull-sconses lighting the cave were fired with human remains. Osbert was able to identify some of the remains as human and some children. This is not your run of the mill bum-fuck hillbilly evil. This is EVIL.
Interestingly, Osbert's real name isn't Osbert. It's actually Benzo. Add on the honorific "the Vicar." And the adverb "of Sett." That's right. Holy Osbert was once a Vicar of Sett. The snake-god that loves all things Evil. As a Vicar of Sett, he supervised the procurement of humans for sacrifice. But we are to believe that he has been cured of his evil ways via Inquisition. We'll see. It doesn't help that Benzo the Vicar was requested at the Inn. So, is he still serving Sett?
Between the deaths Ostar and Mola, Osbert's revelation, and almost dying myself - this has been a hard row to hough.
Now we are preparing to enter yet another underground chamber, this time under the former Temple of Ne'rul. For all we know, we are actually entering the Temple. Either way, this promises to be fun and enlightening.
