Praise be to Nog

Praise be to Nog.

Oliver repeated the chant with the rest of the temple congregation.  The Black Venom cult certainly created top notch killers, and he had been happy to employ them. Over time he had been drawn deeper and deeper into the cult which worshipped Nog, the God of poison.

It was made up almost entirely of bestial creatures. The Yuanti in their various forms of serpentine deformaties made up the congregation. It was a Dark naga who led the ceremony now.  The human head bobbed on the long snake body as it hissed the sermon.

"Vengeance is a divine right, but more it is an obligation of the faithful. To leave a wrong unpaid threatens to unravel the universe into unbalanced destruction.  Destroy those who wrong you it be guilty of sin yourself."

The crowd cheered and hissed basking in the teachings of their lethal God.  He did not share the devotion but saw them as a means to an end.  However, he now wonderful who was using who.

Tiana slitherred up beside him and handed him a glass of their communion. Black naga venom would kill most but his time with the cult granted immunity to such things.  It was not the only gift donating his fortune to them gained. they had found and killed his bastardly sin and had a plan which would install him as a high ranking imperial nobility. He did worry that this den of snakes would devour him when they were finished but until then he had a play to make.
