Call of the Nethderdeep volume 8

We meet a guard with a hexagon pendant, who tells us a bit about the demons that come from inside the tower. He tells us something of a hexagonal soul eating god, which he is wearing a pendant of. El Cato comes back at this point. 

Meow. 

Woolf wants to interview the guard for researching fanfiction. The guard tries to put them off saying I am just a regular guard, why don't you interview the task hand. The guard says he came here only a month ago, and that Werin Thelis has been there for years. 

The guy consults someone, and throws the box through a portal. El Cato asks for a treat, and Rangu gives him a cracker that looks like a playing card. 

The soldiers roll out, the armour starts making the sound of crickets. That is why the locals refer to them as cricks. 



All of us head back to the ready room. We run into Aloysia Telfan who asks us what happened to us. We do not give details. The injured go to the infirmiry and get healed up. Rangu writes a message for El Cato to deliver to Aloysia. 

El Cat tries to dodge it out saying in a slow, bored voice that he does not know who Aloysia is. 

The message says "Do not go in without us. Love, Rangu and the Krakenwagen" El Cato shuffles down the road. A guard picks up El Cato, and goes through the armoury towards a room where Thelis is sitting. 


The cat escapes and poofs. We cannot find Aloysia. We wake up Rara and Yazhi. Rara has cucumber slices on her eyes. I spend 3 silver on booze. We meet Werin, who asks us what we want, Rangu says loot. We make our way towards betrayer's rise. 

Rangu farts at Werin. 

We into the Betrayer's rise after Ayo's company.  We see black double doors in a distance. There is a picture of a smiling woman carved inside a circle on the stone doors. There are claw marks on the image, of Avandra, a god also known as the change bringer. The doors start glowing. 

In the next room, we encounter three gibberish mouthers. One of them spits at Yazhi. It lets out a bright light that Rangu fails to shield his eyes from in turn. I restore blindness.
