(no subject)

[OOM: The thirteenth night - Ruin concocts a truly foul deception, and in the chaos of Gorlim's confusion, plants seeds of guilt for previously uncontemplated crimes. For all men kill the things they love, by each let this be heard: the coward does it with a kiss, the brave man with a sword. Has Gorlim managed both? [warnings for ye olde smut]

However, although men are easily fooled into believing what they see (especially when it is sitting on top of them doing some really novel things with their anatomy), Gorlim is a man who tends to believe what he wants to believe regardless of evidence to the contrary. In the past, this led him to some very destructive behaviour. Now, fortunately, because he wants to believe quite the opposite of Ruin's illusion, the spell breaks quickly, and Gorlim hurries to find Namo. They retreat to the cairn by the lake and at least one part of Ruin's falsely-implanted condemnations IS addressed, appealed, and pardoned. Other of Gorlim's conclusions remain to be addressed by persons with more authority on the subject (i.e., female), but these two, at least, are mended for the time being.

One night remains.

One card left in the Suit of Swords.
