Like An Insane, Ranting Timebomb
[I'll add this reminder to the beginning of each of my posts. Please, remember to look down and read the posts below. If ever there was a time to attend to the posts, to read them carefully, this is it. Your characters and the entire campaign depend on your choices here.]
Moth, okay, you spot a few things of interest:
-three marble statues on one side of the gazebo, of apparently the three people from the book, the jester, the magician, and the girl. Oddly, before you on the ground are two of those people, in the dead flesh.
-three marble statues on the other side of the gazebo. Each is a woman, which you deduce from shape and dress as the head of each statue has been knocked off and is gone. On the first statue sit two butterflies. The second statue holds a small poppy. The third statue's foot stands on a skull and somehow has a taller or more regal bearing than the other two.
-another lotus seed in a bell-jar on a small pedestal at the side.
Tut, you asked about this above, not below, but I caught it here while composing this post. No, there is no obvious ZOM-G controller on Vrill/Croatius. You and Zom look at each other. He shrugs.
MASSA GOT ME WORKIN
WORKIN ME SO HARD...

Vrill/Croatius: "My... daughter... Abagail. No, not my daughter, not... anymore, but still... powerless against me. I saw to that, clever as I am... that the death I seek... The Death I had, but cheated from... in seconds past... She... would be lost to me, or happily... recreated here... in my Garden. My tomb. Our tomb. Your tomb."
"I seek Three Deaths... and have had but Two."
Vrill/Croatius waves his hand and peers around the glen. The hedges grow taller, seem to shift in size and architecture.
Vrill seems to take over, and is perhaps winning whatever internal struggle is going on. "You'll meet your doom soon enough, run or not, it willn't matter."
