Chapter 2: Boil
Fr. Berman takes the lead as the party heads forward into the hallway that Lord D'Marosso went. It is short, with no side passages, and enters into a magnificent bedchamber.
Lord Gustav D'Marosso's bedchamber is well-appointed.
The room is large, but empty. No other passages lead to or from it. The leaded windows could not open far enough to admit someone of his girth. It is as if he stepped in, and disappeared.
Yet, Rhiannon notices something amiss in the symmetry of the walls. She looks over to where it is... a secret door? A hollow panel? She approaches, then stops, as she notices a small amount of blood oozing from where the wall reaches the floor.
Fr. Berman steels himself, approaches, and after a light rap on the wall is returned with no response, pushes open the secret door, revealing a commode beyond.
Blood and bits of flesh coat the privy's walls and floor.
The room is caked with gore, bits dripping from the bowl, the walls, the ceiling. A ghastly stench greets everyone in a macabre welcome. One lump of flesh, two fat, ringed fingers on what was once Lord D'Marosso's hand, lie near the entry door. Worms can be seen writhing out of burrows in those fingers, and indeed, any part of the scene that is not liquid nor the procelain of the pot and walls, can be seem to squirm.
Camilla, standing in the far back, faints.
