Swamped

There are quite a lot of beetles in here. Thankfully none of them are as large as the one that guided you here, but they probably have more collective mass.

You aren't sure if these are more divine servants or just a lot of beetles. They seem to be staying away from the staff, but they're all over everything else.

Oh, wait. They're crawling all over the walls and... forming letters? You really hope this isn't one of those paralyzing messages, because this is definitely not a place where you'd like to be paralyzed.

BEWARE

The moment you finish reading it, the beetles scramble themselves again. It's as if they know how fast you're reading, which is almost as unsettling as the sight of that many beetles rushing around.

THE, GODS, ARE, NOT, OF, ONE, MIND

Well. That's not exactly reassuring, but the beetles don't seem particularly inclined to clarify just what you're supposed to do about it.

Fortunately, they also don't seem inclined to get in your way. They scurry away from you as you approach, and let you grab the staff without further incident. The large beetle wanders off, presumably to keep other troublemakers away from Ash.

Your first thought is that you should probably pass this message along. Trying to work out the motives of the gods is well beyond you. But who should you talk to about it first?
