IPoker faceThrough the haze of the swamps, dawn was breaking. With the first rays of the sun, the villagers emerged for morning prayers in the half-ruined Haven; among their sleepy faces, apathy dominated, and a feeling of oppression gleamed in their drowsy eyes. But the gloomiest of all was
Gur.
The villagers entered the palace and saw an open coffin made of hastily assembled planks. Inside lay
HoM[M]ie with a bright and harmonious cut on his neck. Fear reflected on the faces of those present: death was so close. The atmosphere was broken by the priest's statement: "My children! The apocalypse is coming!
HoM[M]ie fell victim to the Beast! Save your souls! Buy indulgences! Indulgences!" - the pastor preached, gesticulating as much as possible. Murmurs arose among the people, but this was not surprising, as gossips said, naturally asserting that their sources were reliable:
HoM[M]ie was found in his hut, his carotid artery neatly cut, blood gushing from it, soaking the wooden floor and gradually turning into a crimson river, and then into a whole sea of blood, as eyewitnesses claimed. The priest, however, did not stop: "Someone brought THIS here! This is a Temple of God, not a place for trade!" - he pointed to a carelessly made masterpiece lying at his feet.
An awkward pause ensued, masterfully filled by the church's slogan: "Repent your sins and live in peace" - the priest passionately concluded his pompous speech, marking the beginning of the sale of indulgences, with
WhiteLizard'y being the first to buy one. A rumor spread through the hall about a strange shadow that visited
Zybr's house, as well as about an attack by a sect member on
Arandor, but the night also brought misfortune to
Wishmaster, who felt crushed, like shagreen, at least that's what could be read in his expression....
