"Euggh what is that smell." The cave had gone of course underground, though the walls were at least carved and stylized with some language and glyph system I couldn't make out, so we weren't like in an uncivilized cave that was a bonus. The cave did reek of burning flesh, which as always was a minus.
"Burning flesh."
"You sure?" I gave her a look that told her yes I of all people knew exactly what burning flesh smelled like (I guess her experience at setting people on fire with Lightning wasn't as vast as mine with fire). "So do you believe its for a human sacrifice?"
"Either that or the worst BBQ ever, was the councilman a cannibal?"
"Not that I ever saw."
"Well sacrifice it is, burning them alive thats pretty evil." I still was alarmed I hadn't seen any kind of people, I mean I could smell them, but there was no discarded clothing, broken bodies pools of blood. Somehow this guy got an entire ships worth of people from a ship into a cave and at no point no one left any reminder they were there.
"You burn people alive."
"And I'm pretty evil, I mean I've kept myself alive by stealing the life of others to unnaturally extend my own." I never lie about my motives, I fear death like Nidget fears responsibility. We left our cave and entered a larger room in it there was a cauldron of the roasted human flesh we'd smelled earlier stirring the cauldron was our councilman, completely insane looking and surrounded by a violet aura, we also appeared to be above the volcano proper though the heat that should have cooked us as well was kept in check by magic. Which was not comforting considering the circumstances.
"WELCOME TO YOUR DOOM TELRRAX!"
"I would say I don't want to say I told you so, but I really do want to say it so, I TOLD YOU SO!" Petty always so petty, its the Lorentino way.
