Swamped

"There's sixteen gods, right? There were seventeen of them in that scene. Most of them just stood around and they just had plain masks that didn't really help with identifying 'em, so I've got no clue who the extra was supposed to be." They pick up another sandwich and take a bite before continuing. "Y'know, if it happened anywhere else, I'd figure they just didn't realize Brume and Nual are two names for the same god. Easy mistake to make if you're not a churchgoer. But here? This town's big into Nual. There's statues explaining the two names everywhere. Hells, just ask for directions and it's fifty-fifty on if you hit a worshipper eager to explain it to you. You'd have to go out of your way not to know."

Another god. The exile, perhaps?

But that doesn't make much sense. Nual told you to look among those who despised the gods. This is a scene glorifying them, making them arbiters of right and wrong. And it seemed rather tacked-on. If Goan's believer hates the gods, why include them at all?

So maybe they didn't write the scene. Maybe they just slipped into it, to make sure Goan was included. It seems pointless, but these are gods you're dealing with. You don't exactly know how they do things - perhaps it helps Goan if an audience sees him as a god, however indirectly.

You hear some creaking stairs. Perhaps Patterson is coming to deal with your prescription. If you want to ask the sandwich lover anything else, this might be your last chance before you have to get back to other matters.
