T&T: To the Church

by The Immovable Mountain Yama

The crew enter the church under the guise of two sea men guards and a captive. Pauly follows stealthily behind the party
As the priest brings an end to the chanting in the hall, Karu and Cillian drag the pretend captive Yama down the aisle towards the altar
 
Karu finds out from the priest that the deal the town has with the sea people is lives for gold.
 
As Yama and the party continue to move towards the altar and the gathered priests, Yama seizes the lead priest and holds a dagger to his throat.
The priest gloats that Yama is surrounded by enemies and he will gladly give his life for the cause. Yama whispers a threat into the priests ear and completes the movement slitting his throat.
A fight ensues with all of the worshippers and fellow priests joining the fight. Yama shows uncharacteristic anger and Pauly picks off those that try to run from the church.
 
When the combat is complete, the chapel is now full of the burnt remains of the worshippers of Father Dagon.
The party searches the neighbouring rooms, Cillian finds an orb in the room behind the altar, which shocks the party.
 
As Pauly and Cillian check all of the remaining rooms, Yama and Karu take a seat for a rest. Yama takes out his tea set and commences the ceremony, his hand shakes terribly and he tries to hide it, Karu gently takes over the ceremony as if he hadn't noticed. They discuss the battle and Karu feeling ineffectual.
