Chapter 11

Grungelglut had returned to the Church of Lord Morius many times, hoping to
one day meet the Lord as described in the first chapters of the Book of the
Vitiatic Faith. But he never felt a divine presence there. When Czernish had
taken him to the church, she had explained that one area was off-limits. But
as Grungel became more frustrated, he decided to invade this area. Why was he
being excluded when he had followed all of the teachings. WHY?!

Grungel made his way into the inner sanctum of the church, finding there much
riches and opulence. He found there people living in luxury, some with many
possessions or other things Grungelglut wanted. He decided to take them! In
particular, one Drow man had many trophies and gems. Grungel attacked the man,
hoping to wrest them from him and take the things for himself. But the Drow
was too strong. Similarly, a Felar with a stack of items that might have been
of value. But the Felar was also too strong. Grungelglut had to finally admit
that these people were too powerful (for now) for him to take from, and he
slinked from the church.

When he discussed this event with Czernish later, she told him he had been
very foolish. But it was Czernish herself who had told him that if he saw
something he wanted, he should take it! Religion in the Goblin Village was
simple: the shaman tore the guts out of a bird or squirrel, and divined the
will of the gods through the shape of the entrails. But it seemed that
religion in the outside world was very confusing indeed.
