In Brief:Hermy and Nilson commit blasphamy

Summary:

Our heroes are still wandering the lost city. They decide to split up to try and find something to eat.

Alone Nilson is suddenly jumped by the locals who tie him up, and take him back to their village. They plan to offer Nilson as a sacrifice to their two-headed god, but they’ll need to find another sacrifice before sunset, otherwise their god may grow angry and return to punish them like he did a thousand years ago when he devastated their city.

They tie Nilson to a stake and leave to begin their search. Hermy overhears his friend's cries, and follows the sound to the clearing.  

Hermy manages to untie Nilson, but the returning hunters spots them escaping. They give chase since this is their last chance to appease the two-headed god. The pair try to escape them in the maze of streets and alleys, but Hermy trips and knocks them both down a flight of stairs. After that his ankle is sprained, so Nilson has to carry him.

Suddenly they run round a corner…right into the hunting party, knocking the high priest to the ground. The adventurer’s quickly flee too preoccupied to realize that the hunters have ran away screaming.

 

Later they find themselves at the deserted temple. Nilson is even able to find his confiscated sword. The two muse on how ugly the two-headed god’s statue is, unaware that it looks just like them....

Review: 

Another fun little story. Sure the entire adventure is set up for a punchline but I laughted. Also Hermy's antics when freeing Nilson were pretty amusing. 

Nothing else to  really say here.
