The last cult lair you escaped was filled with traps, you reply, and there were a lot of corpses lying around too…
Ignoring Rezzie’s menacing cackle, you continue your report as best you can! You’d wager there’s gonna be a lot of em, you shrug! That guy in the Belltower managed to summon some nasty monster too, so they clearly know their way around magic!
“Yea…” Frowns Volka, “I can almost taste it in the air… the magic, that is.”
Rezalith’s face rankles as she too takes a whiff. S-something up?
“... something demonic…” She mutters under her breath, stiffening as the words leave her lips, “It’s faint, but definitely familiar…”
Crap, you hiss, you’re… does that mean they did it already!? We got here so fast, though! The devil frowns.
“I dunno! Could be ‘in-progress’ or something! How should <span class="mu-i">I</span> know about summoning demons!? I never had to do it! An<span class="mu-i">TWIT!</span>”
“Anything else we oughta’ know, Rook?” Volka interjects, her claw resting on her blade’s hilt!
Well uh… their leader was some guy named <span class="mu-r">LARIUS</span>, you whisper, stealing a glance around you as if you’d expected to spot him listening in!
“Do ya’ think he’ll be around?”
You answer the Skog’s question with a shaky shrug! You… you <span class="mu-i">HOPE</span> not! Dude made, like, three people’s heads explode from a completely different location! He’s… he’s the scariest guy you’ve ever seen!
Not that you’ve <span class="mu-i">seen</span> him, mind, but you heard heads explode! And tasted them! You definitely got some brain in your mouth when-
“Cut it <span class="mu-i">OUT</span>! You tryin’ to make me <span class="mu-s">HANGRY!?</span>” Snarls Rezalith as she delivers a swift kick to your shin! Owie!
“Well we’re here now,” Sighs Tzah-Tzie with renewed determination in her tone, “And if they’d managed to summon a demon this place would be burnt to a crisp already! That means we still have time, right?”
Y-yea, you nod, but we should act fast! Making a show of rubbing your stubbly chin, you decide to…
>Send Rezzie ahead to scout for anything weird!>Try to find a cultist! You can interrogate ‘em!>The last cult hideout wasn’t <span class="mu-i">that</span> hard to find… maybe if you search around the Falls you’ll find something?>VENTRILOQUISM!
