THAT WAS CRAZY! WOW! Okay, so the tracker the Pathologist hid inside one of the Sebitti went off, so then Dan had the House appear right in the heart of the Hyperion cult’s TRUE location: somewhere deep inside the Infernal Caverns. WHAT!! So then we stormed out just as Fenrir was absorbing the last of the Sebitti. I was hoping for a big villain speech or something, but you know Julius, so he just sort of looked at us. I couldn’t tell if he was angry, or sad, or annoyed, or… well, again, he’s Julius. I could never tell what he was feeling before he was a crazy cult leader. And, uh, yeah… Warden was there, too.
BUT THEN! VABOOM!!! He gets to the seventh Sebitti, and the Pathologist’s “SOUL BOMB” goes off and the energy did a total 180, and now, we think, all seven of the Sebitti powers are in the last living Sebitti and Julius has none. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED BABY! He hit the floor like a sack of potatoes, and then we went to go grab his body and stuff it in the House before Eve showed up, but then, yeah, Eve showed up. She. Was. PISSED! She started screeching about how it was HER sky, and then she called out a bunch of her shadow goons, and we were fighting for what seemed like a long time. Eventually, things calmed down a bit before Eve literally blew apart the cavern we were in, revealing the Caelus Divide.
Though… it did not look good, if I’m being honest. To be fair, I haven’t seen the Caelus Divide in person that many times, probably less than five. But I’ve seen pictures of it in books and stuff, and usually, it’s a sort of bright golden ephemeral wall. But now it looked very… icky? It looked like a putrid green and stygian purple, sort of like Eve’s shadow magic. Anyway, we took the whole cavern exploding as our cue to get the hell out of there, so we jumped back in the House with Fenrir, and now we’re just cruising through the Phantom Lane, waiting for the Big Guy to wake up. Then, hopefully, we can talk some sense into him!
