With a guild scout's news of the defiled shrine we set out to ascertain the truth. After a short and uneventful journey we found this sacred place as described, with worshipers' butchered corpses decorating the area as a mockery to their god. The corpses, despite their almost ritualistic display, didn't show signs of a struggle. A suit of skin we found buried nearby may have had something to do with this.
As the crime scene had already been compromised by the elements and further leads were not forthcoming, we decided to portray ourselves as adherents in the hopes that we might bait out the killers. Shortly thereafter, while making repairs, six worshipers appeared, one of Gorum, one of Sarenrae, one of Iomedae, and three of Shelyn.
Following a brief exchange, four exposed themselves as cultists by taking the follower of Gorum and Sarenrae hostage. Two of them served as hosts to Vermleks, and an Abrikandilu popped out the ground. You know, Demons. Despite our efforts, the hostages were killed, but we managed to avenge them. We do not know whether or not if this was an isolated incident. There may be more skin-wearing Demons among us.
