((I lost some text and some rolls--twice; the difficulties of only having an iPhone to work through--in which Fetter discovers a deep schism and a growing sense of mistrust between the cultists who are only in it for the pleasure and/or power, and the more sadistically minded Yozi-worshippers. Fetter identified the ring leaders of the various factions, and hunted down and consumed the form of the "lieutenant" of the less-sadistic faction, and told their friends that he overheard the pro-Yozi faction talking about "a purge" of those "not dedicated enough to the cause." Then he hinted that he knew where they held their secret meetings and volunteered to listen in for more info. They didn't want to believe their fellow cultists were talking about purging *them*, but when Fetter left the body for them to find--heart ripped out and all--it sealed the ruse.))
Is the Yozi faction becoming paranoid about the other cultists behavior?
(10[d10]) Yes, and...
The next part of Fetter's plan carried significantly more risk. He followed the most well respected of the Yozi faction around until the portal was repaired. They were becoming increasingly paranoid about the other faction's behavior, and especially wondered about the strange murder of one of said faction's members (which they, of course, knew they hadn't done). So they took to arming themselves secretly, for their own protection. The night before the ceremony in which they were finally going to reopen the portal and welcome Burning Feather back from her communion with the Stellar Intelligence, Fetter killed the Yozi faction's leader and took his form.

"I had trouble sleeping last night, brethren," he tells the acolyte's friends, "so I went to the sanctuary to pray. The heretics were there, plotting. They received a message, from Burning Feather--once she is through, they plan on destroying the portal so our Dark Father cannot get through! That portal is not for her; it is for the return of the Yozi from their cruel banishment! Arm yourselves, brothers, and wait for my signal. We must not allow ANYONE to stand in the way of the Reclamation."
Is the anti-Yozi faction on edge, too?
(9[d10]) Yes.
The ceremony begins. Many slaves are brought forth; terrible things are done to them. Sacred drugs are passed around, but the Yozi faction only pretends to partake. They are watching through the corners of their eyes, waiting for signs of betrayal... As is, it seems, the other faction.
At last, the time has come. The gateway flares a deep, burning red as the rest of the compound darkens. Essence from tapped leylines surges into the temple and twists, converging in the center of the portal in a sickening kaleidoscope of colors. In this most reverent of moments, all attention should be on the portal, but the acolytes are all glancing sideways with trepidation. Burning Feather steps through.
"Now!" Fetter yells.
Hi Mark, thanks for making such an awesome site!
I did, indeed, use the Encode button... This time, it seemed to work just fine. The first time, there seemed to be extra code there that wasn't there for my last post; I don't know why that is.

Thank you for sharing your story. Regarding formatting, are you use the "Encode" link at the top of the Play screen?
