[QUOTE="sunshadow21, post: 5984691, member: 6667193"] [COLOR=DarkOrange]The sorceress laughs a maniacal laugh of a lunatic as Heinrich douses her with flame and acid, and her next actions seem to confirm the impression. The dwarf and the once-a-tiefling both put both of their hands on the altar and start to chant in the same gruesome sounding tongue you heard earlier amongst the cultists.
