and it talks about– I mean, this is too
coincidental, it can’t be the thing that we’re–
what are the odds of something being in this book,
and it’s what we’re chasing today? But this is
describing some sort of scaled demon that feeds on
people in the night, when they’re sleeping, and it
leaves corrupted, undead corpses behind, known as
husks.
LAURA: That is what they look like. They look like
husks!
MARISHA: They did look like husks.
TRAVIS: And we didn’t see anybody it fed on.
LIAM: Does this book– is it of this town, or?
MATT: Oh no, it’s a general book about–
LIAM: General book, could be anywhere.
MATT: Anywhere, anything, it doesn’t even mention
locations. It’s just, “This is some lore about
"devils and demons!”
TALIESIN: Kylre’s been around for a while, though!
And this is new, right? I feel like– Was there nothing?
TRAVIS: How well did you know Kylre?
TALIESIN: I mean, not that well. Of everybody, the
least.
LIAM: You haven’t heard the word nergaliid?
TALIESIN: That’s a–
MATT: As soon as he says that, it triggers
something in your brain, and that thought you had
the other night clicks. Like, that’s what it was
that was escaping you. Nergaliid.
TALIESIN: I have heard that word before.
LIAM: Because that’s what I’m talking about here.
TALIESIN: Oh dear. Oh, why can’t I remember? It
was so long ago.
MARISHA: Okay, so what was Mr. Frogman’s diet?
TRAVIS: Yeah, what did he feast on?
TALIESIN: What did he eat?
MATT: He ate what was given to him.
TALIESIN: He ate what we had!
MATT: He seemed like a lizard man, from what you
knew and experienced. He thought it was fine.
There was no draw to it.
LAURA: You never noticed him eating people before?
TALIESIN: I feel like I would’ve taken note of it.
I don’t necessarily know I would’ve commented on
it, but I would’ve noted it.
LAURA: Okay.
TALIESIN: And it was not noted.
LIAM: Once again, I have no idea if this is the
creature that we’re in pursuit of, but this talks
about it not eating food, but siphoning the life
off of mortal creatures, but not to the point of
death or harming them. They might not even notice
that it’s happening.
TALIESIN: Oh no.
LAURA: (gasps) That’s what was happening to Toya.
Maybe all of you.
LIAM: It says that this thing has two types of
feeding: one is slow and unnoticeable, maybe, and
one is quick with much pain and anguish.
