Status: Resolved Submitted: Oct. 24, 2017, 11:53 a.m. Public: True GM: Apostate


Action by Eirene

Halsim has provided what’s described as muscled up abyssal humanoid creature which has been part of the Horned God’s forces, another mutated shav. Her team is Sophie for the religious aspects, and Jack and Lianne for the more mundane ones. They’ll run the usual Abyssal force testing (holy water/fire per Sophie, check it in a mirror, alaricite) special testing with wolf’s blood/fur since this is Skald’s reflection they’re dealing with, acids, any weird herbs, and then cut it open to see if the insides are also mutated. The goal is to see if they were human at some point or, per Halsim’s request, if they were infected with the sentient black goopy paracite that ‘Hush’ had.

Result

The corpse looks different in a mirror, more like a normal person the first time it's reflected. Then when the mirror shows again, it has no reflection at all. Then the third time and each time after that, it reflects as normal in the mirror, alarmingly. But seems ever so slightly closer to Eirene and the others each time in the reflection. Huh. It does smolder and burn from each of the other elements (holy water, alaricite, fire), and when they cut it open, it has two hearts, and redundancy in other organs, but it seems otherwise that they would have been human. As if multiple people were shoved together somehow. No sign of black goopy parasites, but Khanne has an uneasy feeling, when she looks at it, sometimes it is as if she is seeing a dozen figures, not just one, like her vision is distorted. It gives her an intense headache.

Thirteen hours after the cadaver is dissected, it blackens and turns to ash, disintegrating on the slab. Huh.
