A Rising Resistance and a Falling Empire

@Cerebrate  
The Goddess Jinlix my dear. You really must read a book or took she giggled out softly

@NyantaStarhunt  
“i do know a goddess with a similar name, you sure you have it translated right?”

@Cerebrate  
she laughs trust me I have it right. What are you thinking of?

@NyantaStarhunt  
“eh she isn’t well known in these parts, may even be the same goddess.”

@Cerebrate  
she nods and smiles perhaps. Take the night off Apep and tell royal to come back at his own pace…little guy most likely is still shocked up

@NyantaStarhunt  
the snake slithers off without another word. intent on finding a man of faith that can inform him of who that Jinlix is.

@Cerebrate  
the night seems quiet and soon apep is joined by a cat landing beside him

@NyantaStarhunt  
“jinlix… ring familiar?”

@Cerebrate  
Not to my brain….well actually when we get to a safe house let me consult my notes. Why?

@NyantaStarhunt  
“narratively we’re pretending to be the dragon, to the big bad, the doctor, Jinlix is the greater scope entity, supposedly a primordial goddess, but that’s something the prime evils often claim to be.”

@Cerebrate  
Nyanta oh just wonderful. Come on i know shortcuts

@NyantaStarhunt  
the snake follows.

@Cerebrate  
he leads him through the back alley ways until they reach the upper city and make it to his home

@NyantaStarhunt  
Apep: “well, we need to find out and fast, the doctor is in a CHIPPER mood and that probably means bad things.”

@Cerebrate  
he meows and goes for his books come come

@NyantaStarhunt  
Apep slithers after him, looking around the book collection._

@Cerebrate  
nyanta had sat down at desk and begun to read through notes and journal entries I doubt my library books would make mention as Jinlix is not a god from catfolk religion but…if its an Elder god

@NyantaStarhunt  
“should i go to the temple, or perhaps one of the agents looks for the royal archives?”

@Cerebrate  
Nyanta both are very good ide- I make mention of Jinlix here however if you want to go to the temple. I will send word for an agent to check the reports Apollo has sent back

@NyantaStarhunt  
he nods and slithers off, leaving Nyanta to look for the others.

@Cerebrate  
he looks through his journals as he makes his way to flisk and flasks house
 
the snek can easily see the large temple from almost anywhere in the upper city. its iint he center just below the main gate to the castle walls

@NyantaStarhunt  
“never seen myself as a religious guy… figured the day i croak whichever god is most pleased by the way i lived my life would pick me up, or i become a drifting revenant.”
 
he tries to identify the imperial top dog of the pantheon.

@Cerebrate  
at the entrance to the temple seem to be two heavily armed guards however dressed more religiously and with red and black armour instead of the normal white and silver. The stand with large halberds
 
one of them bows and with a deep voice welcome to the Temple.

@NyantaStarhunt  
he bows in turn.
 
“i apologize if i am overly presumptuous, but i need to speak to a priest that has spent a lot of time studying the divine lore.”

@Cerebrate  
the guard nods and makes his way inside
 
G: the best one to help you would be Sister Bernadette. She is in charge of this “divine lore” you speak of. You may also find her easy to talk to. She is a lizard Folk like yourself.
