Swamped

You hear... chanting.

It's faint, but clearly close by. None of the words make any sense - they're certainly not Common, but they also don't sound like any language you've ever heard before. You start following the noise.

In a side room, you spot about a dozen sailors standing in a circle. Each one is holding a lit candle.

"Trancala manastas faracia Goan," they all say in unison. None seems to notice you. But the word Goan sounds unsettlingly familiar. You remember the explanation about it involved a dead god.

So is this a cult to that god? What could they be doing, then?

You suddenly hear the distinct sounds of someone coming up the stairs. Either they've realized you slipped past, or they let someone else up. In either case, you're probably in trouble if they spot you.

What should you do?
