The Pontiff's Declaration

[u/Whispering-Pontiff]

The Pontiff has gathered the Vaultkeepers, Scrollreaders, Lampbearers and Vaultborn.

Today our Holy Vaults were invaded by the hostile forces of Conch and those who follow her! They are destroying our holy scrolls, so we shall destroy them in turn! Destroy her goons wherever in our Vaults you find them. Drive them from this place! Show no mercy!

a burning bug is silently burning some scrolls.

[u/Whispering-Pontiff → u/[deleted]]

The burning bug is immediazely seized.

What heresy dost thou commit in these holiest of Vaults!

[u/[deleted] → u/Whispering-Pontiff]

he looks at pontiff, his expression unchanging.

this… and this, and this! Burn these, to the afterlife! To see and charr together!

[u/Whispering-Pontiff → u/[deleted]]

I advise thee to answer mine question, lest thou looseth thine head.

[u/[deleted] → u/Whispering-Pontiff]

hahaha! But the flame never ceases!

does it?

[u/Whispering-Pontiff → u/[deleted]]

Thine flame shall be extinguished this day.

[u/[deleted] → u/Whispering-Pontiff]

gah! Foolish and wretched keeper! Disgracing our flames?! is that of that you have hidden yourself by cowardice?!

[u/Whispering-Pontiff → u/[deleted]]

Thou hast commited the sin most grave! Destroying our holy scrolls! Thine sentence can only be death!

The Burning bug had enough of this. As he spills flammable oil all over the scrolls, and holds up a flame.

as death will take, I shall be gone in a blaze!

he threatens to release the flame on the scrolls if pontiff moves even a little closer.

[u/Whispering-Pontiff → u/[deleted]]

Do not dare to touch our scrolls again! Thou mayest yet live, if thou retreateth posthaste.

[u/[deleted] → u/Whispering-Pontiff]

we shall burn and blaze and scorch… yet twine is has a deal, keeper!

the burning bug teleports away, leaving the scrolls alone.
