Dungeon of the Mad Mage - Interlude 2

At last, Tass the Skitarius mentioned wanting to contact the local Adeptus Mechanicus, to which Varonius assented, and they were on their way.

Blood for the Blood God!

I was cleaning my sculpting tool after applying the Mordant Earth on the Flesh Hounds, when I felt a small sting. I look down, and the next moment, blood is flowing like crazy. Well, I guess... Blood for the Blood God!
