Your men quietly nodded their heads and went about following your orders. Oliver and Kulee went off together to make a more through search of the area while Tayang had his men return their plunder to the ship Nyx opted to stay with you, taking her dagger out just in case there was any trouble as the two of you entered the chapel. Sure enough the place was desecrated. In your head you could imagine how this temple would've looked normally; a few roars of pews with an altar at the front where a priest would give his sermons. There was a large pool of water behind him, and two doors that likely lead to offices in the back. But now the pews had been pushed up against the walls or destroyed, and what remained of the clergy here were splattered about the room and walls as if a mad artist had decided to redecorate the interior of the chapel with their remains. Blooded bodied parts of both bone and flesh were shaped into strange twisted effigies, with arms artificially lengthen with thighs and the remaining legs from the knee down bound together at the ankles and wrapped around the bloodied and dismembered waists of the remains. These literally twisted looking arms were then forced to stretch upwards, almost making a circle, and inside that circle were the severed heads of the bodies. However you would easily notice two things with these severed heads, the first one was that they had their eyes torn out and they have been scalped, exposing their brains. And nailed to their brains were presumably the victim's eyes as well a mysterious additional amount, perhaps out of some strange literal interpretation of Kos' blessing. As for the victim, the elven girl was the only one who didn't seem to have suffered the same mutilated fate as the others. However her beaten and bloated body laid strewn upon the altar, her eyes open yet frozen in horror. She was alive but not responsive. As you came closer, you would see something that Nyx did not, due to the relative darkness of the room. A message written in blood, now drying, on the wall over the pool of water, which was not yet tainted. [center][i][color=firebrick]She wholly devoted herself to God.

Having checked the back rooms, Tayang reports that they are surprisingly untouched. While it definitely looks like there was a struggle, whoever was here didn't seem to ransack these rooms and there weren't any other survivors back there. One was an office, had a desk that was knocked to the side which was likely used to barricade the door, as well as a lot of books of various lore and information. Could be useful for trade or just light reading. Some letters, some journals, and a small locked box. From the sounds inside of it, it was likely a box containing the temple's offerings. The other room seemed to be a supply room, which the rest of your men were looking through. Nyx stayed in the office and was paging through the Books for anything important.
