"Two of them are following me... Konka and Gormand. That is not ideal."
It would have been ideal if only Konka came. Diego did not feel Konka was entirely attentive, a being that relied more heavily on magic and tools than himself- much like the mages Diego knew. They were all extremely dangerous, but never felt the need to watch their backs. None had ever noticed Diego creeping up until it was too late, and he doubted Konka would have been an exception. Once the kill was done, Diego would speak in the voice of a god once again, stating something along the lines of 'Konka Rar has released me. Unfortunately, I do not have the strength to take all of you to your respective homes, and only have time to take the ones in front of me.' Then, possibly, Diego would extend the charade as the stage shifted, inventing another god. However, it was no useto plan so far ahead, and Diego refocused on the situaion at hand.
With two to deal with, Diego needed to be quicker and more efficient, and somehow hide the body- if he could even get the opportunity. If the two of them got together, he would have to chances. Hopefully, there would be some method to keep them seperated...
Diego was ascending, now, up to a new room. He had just moved through a strange room with a corpse, hanging from the ceiling by it's entrails. Seeing it unnerved him slightly, but he continued forward. The next room was more of a hallway filled with bags of apparent treasure, a fantastic contrast to the last room. Wasting no time, he sifted through, finding a few obviously useful items- a small bow, arrows, and arrowheads. The rest he left, because he wasn't sure if he'd be able to use it. He turned to the next door, and pulled it. The door held fast. With no method of delivering a force strong enough to smash the door. Diego was stuck.
A sudden panic overtook him, immediately followed by a instant calm. Methodologically, he arranged the facts. The other two would be here, soon. He could not go further on his own. From what he had heard, it seemed both Konka and Gormand roughly believed in his fake god. Logically, they'd have no reason to attack him. The two of them probably had the ability to take down the door- which was a problem, because if it were a sudden dead end or something similar, his "god" would lose a lot of credibility. Diego frowned and formed a small plan. Before the door was opened, he'd use the god's voice to announce that they were close, creating the illusion that the god knew where they were, hopefully veiling his actual ignorance.
