Scum and Vengeance

With my new found pets we headed back to Busiris' home camp. Along the way we came across some swampland with pools of murky black water. As I went to take a taste Daestrus appeared saying my tether to Vulkrem could be broken with more power. Finally, some good news! This was short lived as we were suddenly set upon by VERY large lobster...things.
During this battle I happened to loose a foot along with my life...again. Thankfully my friends threw me into the murky pool (and thanks to Busiris, my foot as well). I avoided the eternal blackness of death narrowly, my foot being held in place my smoky tendrils. I shall have to be more careful in future.
 
Syr Cap can now turn into a Bear!! Busiris can turn into a cloud...I mean thats cool but its not A BEAR!!! BUT he did turn into a wolf! I feel like our little group is becoming more and more powerful and animal friendly. We shall have fun with these new found powers.
 
A spirit appears, seemingly it wants us to follow it. It looks familiar somehow but I can't quite place his face. We decide to follow it anyway. And would you believe it?! A whole group of Venumbra follwers!! (That snake like being that possessed my father), by their choice of faith they have chosen their executioner - ME.
Vulkrem and the others have other plans for them. To talk. I take Sebek and dive under the water and sneak closer ready to appear and start killing!
 
They do however, end up getting along with them. A shame. I was looking forward to sending them to Daestrus. My time was not wasted though. While under the water I came across a bloated corpse. Time for some fun! With the help of Sebek I dragged the corpse to the shore and made it wave at the foolish Venumbrites. It wasn't until we were fully ashore that we recognised the water logged, bloated, grey mass. He was the one we fought during the Thunder Fight. The father of Viktus. It seems his escape from us was short lived.
 
Turns out not that short. Vulkrem is up to his old tricks and raises the corpse back to life. A speech about death and a river of blood. Finally! Someone who understands me! Viktur joins our group. Another creature for Daestrus' plan. Our ranks are starting to grow and soon. Very soon. HIS plan will start being put into action.
