"Sure, we'll hunt your monster."

> To the others quietly -

"Bit of a roundabout way of asking for help, but we might as well. If we're going to be around here for a bit, might as well get on their good side."

EVENTS:

Rosa: "So which is which?"

Priestess: "That is for each you to recognise and understand, not for me to reveal."


Klimt: "I, um...

I wouldn't want to point fingers to any of those here and now...

But tell us more about this thing in the manor."


Priestess: "Tis a huge monster, never once Man. It grows and entraps and feeds. Its victims are turned into pale mockeries of the Master's designs, their Flesh sullied by its alien nature. You shall know them by their horns and trappings, and the wrongness of their very existence."


Eigla: "Sure, we'll hunt your monster."

The priestess nods, then poses dramatically, her robe fluttering unnervingly in the candlelight.

Priestess: "Go forth without fear, for the Master's glory shall be with you. All flesh bends to His will."

"One thing first.
Why are there so many people in the houses barely keeping warm. Why aren't they being properly taken care of."

EVENTS:

The priestess opens her arms, welcoming Rosa as she walks closer to the hole.

Priestess: "There is only so much I can do, with the offerings I am given. Dozens come and go every day, and to provide for them all would be nigh impossible.

Even more so, they are Broken-Hearted. They are drawn here to seek purpose, not physical warmth. Within no more than a week, they are sent on pilgrimage to the Master's capital, or Embraced."



Looking down into the pit... Darkness, and a strange warmth. Subtle movements, unseen silhouettes far below. Rosa begins hearing the tolling of distant bells.

Post Re: Nechronica
EVENTS:

Rosa turns on her night vision and peers deep into the abyss.

Corpses. Hundreds, thousands of them, partially fused together in a huge mass, hollow eyesockets teeming with tentacles. Spear-like protrusions, multiple circular maws and flailing arms line the walls of the hole, here and there attached to the pillars of the church's foundation. Some of the corpses seem fresher, and you realise they are zombies, slowly being dismantled and integrated into the pit's undulating surface.


Rosa feels the urge to vomit, and almost loses her balance. Thankfully, Eigla is there to hold her back.

The bells grow louder and louder, but disappear as she stops looking down into the darkness.

EVENTS:

Rosa scrambles away, supported by Eigla. The priestess tuts quietly.

Priestess: "Do not fear the Master's Embrace. Oblivion, too, is a gift."
