Notes and Crap (entry fifteen)

by Eligius Yami

Alright... last we left off, we forced information out of a Snakeroot's Bite cultist girl about where they held the stolen food as well as their main base. We did remain skeptical however, as the girl might have been lying. Rad apparently had captured one of the cultists from a previous attack, so we decided to do a bit of blindfold interrogation. We decided to scare the living pants off the guy, as I impersonated a horned devil's voice, threatening to devour his soul and grind his bones to dust. THAT.. actually worked believe it or not! Of course we revealed ourselves by taking off his blindfold and showed the thug he was had! Ahh... I still laugh thinking about it.
 
So, seeing that the information was truth, Rad, Solomon and I decided to go take a small visit to the food stash in order to help Kobir. I had the brilliant idea of disguising myself as one of the guards, and using my persuasive charm to have the first two cultists lower their guards. Rad, Sol, Petra, Maria and I then quickly dispatched them..... it.... was... repulsive. That was my first person killed by my own hands, not crystal creatures, or even at the disembodied self of Reprieve.... but my own hands...
 
I didn't think on it at the time, as the guards behind a solid wooden planked door were wondering what the commotion we caused was about. I changed my voice to impersonate one of the guards, told them everything was alright. They seemed to buy it and went back to their posts like the first guys, only for us to blow the door inward and assaulted the compound. It was an all out assault on the place, though there was a LOT of food lying about in crates, so I had to limit my magic to not burn it all down (guess what Novia, that really cost us). The cultist leader there was a black hooded figure with no face in sight, just the void itself. Needless to say, seeing I was the caster he went straight for me, armed with a dagger that felt like it did more than just physical, but otherworldly damage to my very soul. I did as best I could to fight him without damaging any of the food, he was getting the upper hand on me, almost took me down, but thankfully Petra came in and saved my sorry ass. He didn't even die, he stood upright, said "Very well", and literally walked away before my very eyes into nothing! I swear, the Material Plane is a helluva weird place.
 
In any case, we got the goods, and brought them back to Kobir. The people loved us, praised us as heroes and chowed down a helluva feast. After the other group took down the base, we marched on back home... that gave me time to soak in the fact that I had killed... I was not proud of it.
