  1. LOU (NYDAS): "I am of two minds. If we are amongst ourselves to admit that Vespin Chloras succeeded in interacting with a Betrayer God, it seems fitting that we either confirm this possibility by revisiting your reconstructed site, or we seek out some greater understanding of Zerxus' dreams by finding a prophet, or better understanding what is going on with the Hall of Prophecy."
  2. LUIS (ZERXUS): "Yes."
  3. TRAVIS (CERRIT): "I agree."
  4. LOU (NYDAS): "But, I admit I am not wholly ready to give myself over to this idea and would like to better understand what exactly we are potentially dealing with before we start making decisions, from a place of truth."
  5. SAM (LOQUATIUS): "Well, just one- you know I don't have opinions. I just report. But just a theory to toss out, as you were talking and you were talking, it's just a wild theory. It could be possibly totally wrong. But the Betrayer Gods can't come through. They're locked out. Can't- They can't get in here. They're stuck out. Right? So, and we know that this lady became the Matron of Ravens."
  6. LOU (NYDAS): "Yes."
  7. MARISHA (PATIA): "Mm-hmm."
  8. SAM (LOQUATIUS): "And Vespin did the same thing. So this Betrayer God that Vespin has awoken, or whatever, wouldn't have to make the journey from lands beyond to get here, because Vespin would be the Betrayer God. He would be here already. Doesn't have to go through any gate or anything, because he's gone through this ritual that makes him a god."
  9. LUIS (ZERXUS): "It's possible."
  10. AABRIA (LAERRYN): "We would know. We would know if he had ascended, though. We knew when the Matron of Ravens."
  11. SAM (LOQUATIUS): "How did we know?"
  12. AABRIA (LAERRYN): Thought we had a feeling? We were like...
  13. MARISHA: 'Oh, there's one more!'
  14. BRENNAN: In the blink of an eye, anyone who was standing in a temple to the previous god of death watched all of the names of that god be erased from the stone in front of them at the moment of her ascension.
  15. SAM (LOQUATIUS): "But there is no knowing of the Betrayer God, so there would be no one who knew if they changed."
  16. LUIS (ZERXUS): "Except here we have evidence of someone who was drawing upon their power and was receiving it. So the line of that is established here."
  17. BRENNAN: Loquatius, you are the one extraplanar person here. Give me an insight check.
  18. MARISHA: Hmm, hmm.
  19. SAM (LOQUATIUS): On myself? I'm self-insighting?
  20. BRENNAN: No, I think you're insighting the world.
  21. AABRIA: Ooh.
  22. SAM (LOQUATIUS): I fucking love insighting the world. A 22, but if I fail, I can add a d4.
  23. LOU:I love the offer, every time.
  24. MARISHA: He says that every time, yeah. If I fail.
  25. LOU: Here we go.
  26. BRENNAN: You won't fail because you're on a gradient. So roll the d4 for me.
  27. LOU: Get that.
  28. SAM (LOQUATIUS): Okay, 24.
  29. BRENNAN: 24. You're sitting here. You're talking about did this ritual work or not, right?
  30. SAM (LOQUATIUS): Yeah.
  31. BRENNAN: All of your friends, you have powerful friends here in this room who have very specific functions within the city. Right now, for being not human, you're thinking about human nature. You're thinking about the nature of all beings. The gods are impossible to fathom, sure. But if they have wars, if they squabble and bicker with each other, how inhuman can they be? If there is a puppet here, it's indicative of a conspiracy. And a conspiracy exists to accomplish something that has not happened yet. So I think that when you're saying the ritual, something happened, I think on that insight, that powerful insight check, you're pulling on the right thread. Something happened, perhaps something terrible. But, the apocalypse- If the apocalypse happened, you'd notice it. Something is at work, but not finished. That is what your opinion is as you try to put the pieces together. Cerrit is right. An infernal cultist came to the palace of the Keeper of Scrolls in Avalir. But that cultist came to do something, which means that something needed to happen.
  32. MARISHA (PATIA): As he is saying that-
  33. SAM (LOQUATIUS): Charmingly.
  34. MARISHA (PATIA): Charmingly a lot snaps into place for Patia as well.
