So, my new adventurer obtained a task - travel to a big city north of here and slay a vampire called Uja Bathenwild.
On my way, I accidentally met my former character, a vampire that settled as a peasant in a small village after having a hand crippled. He is listed as "recruit" and states he is a soldier. I accused him of being a vampire, but he laughed into my face. Bastard.
Anyway, without too many incidents, I arrived to the city - my first city. What a mess, leatherworker shops everywhere, ruined temples, stray chicken and cats running everywhere, filth, dirt and sewers. How shall I find someone called Uja here? Anyway, I noticed a temple-like building, surrounded by walls. It was a bit strange, because the entrance was above ground, but there was a lucky slope that allowed me to jump in. Inside, strange people roamed. Strange women who were called "sacred rain", "heavenly cloud", "holy star", etc. No proper names, just this charade.
I navigated maze-like stairs going up and down, and came to a larger hall with a strange person - the name was "Uja - the deity". I looked up Uja in Legends later, and there is indeed a goddess called Uja, associated with murder and death, taking form of a human female. But this "deity" was a chameleon twisted to a form of a woman, beware here deadly vapor. I thought it's my target Uja Bathenwild, playing some cult games, but following my best-practice procedure, I asked her my usual question: "Are you Sarah Connor Uja Bathenwild, vampire and slayer of innocent people?" She of course laughed me into face. I asked her about profession, she said "I am a master". No matter, this person seemed suspicious. I decided to attack - lashed at her with my whip, but just could not touch her. She breathed something called "Black brute extract", it it here followers and my two henchmen, but no immediate effect could be observed.
Anyway, the next moment everyone was upon me, and those exalted New Age women sliced me to pieces with various silver utensils. I looked my killer in Legends, and she was "exalted snowflake", or something, formerly a fisherman seeking to prolong life by any means. Were there all vampires, or necromancers? I looked up my target Uja Bathenwild, and she was listed as "sacred rain" of Heavenly Denominations.
Could it be that I accidentally attacked a real goddess? My head hurts. Must be that black brute extract, whatever it is.
