Close to Harvest

by Nepheri

The only thing that angers me more than how thee people pretend that they're doing god work by extending life at any cost is how they twist the fate of those they claim to cure. And all under the guise of a fake goddess.

We went to the Temple of the Harvest to scout the place out. While Phennyr somehow managed to both utterly failed with our infiltration plan and helped me get in, I did get a chance to speak to one of the "priestesses" of the temple. It soon became apparent that their goddess, "Zania," is merely a fabrication. They don't even have the full history of the divine straight. Question is what else they gain from this. And who, or what, grants them powers. If they have any.

My, I'm starting to suspect the Nine Hells to be involved. Purely speculation, of course, but it certainly feels like a deal with a devil is a possible explanation.

Curing one of their patients gave a better understanding of how they work. The gifts people give them might not be as much from pure generosity as they let on. And I still suspect an even higher cost. And I found out that they had brought Kaia to the Silent House, and she seemed to come voluntarily. Which seems like a charm effect to me... something I know I get from my infernal heritage...

Following Kaia to the Silent House, I sent Eye to investigate. A bit more discreetly than we did last time. But when he saw Kaia being tortured in cold water, we had to act. I suspect Ellywick feels bad enough as it is, and I want to help them both as much as I can. ...Still working on the whole moving on thing. And I'm grateful the other three jumped into the fray. Which we needed to destroy the two flesh golems who I assume are "bringing order in the pantry." And we knocked out one of the guards again before making our escape.

Joining up for a common cause, one might think we were a group... At least Ellywick and I seem to be a group again. Meanwhile, this so-called temple has tampered with enough people's fates and it might be time for theirs to end. My biggest question is what dear old dad has to do with it...
