WELL: The shield got interrupted by their missing friend Ansen who has killed off one of the cultist members. Their friend, though, is in very bad condition, and to top it off the orb has begun grabbing living things that aren't infected by darkness and are in the church and are dragging them in. That also means Ansen who while being dragged is leaving a trail of his blood behind, it isn't looking good for our little Cianid if nobody comes to his aid.
