The guide and Brother Maynard return. Clearly, they've seen what they wanted to see.
"Come," says the guide. "You're ready to move onto the next phase."
He gestures for them to follow and leads them into a room that has two hooded cultists.
"The next step is an offering of pain. To serve us and to serve the one true way of the universe you must be willing to give up everything, and that may mean giving up your lives. It may entail untold suffering. But this price is one that will bring us all closer to the oblivion we rightly deserve."
He gestures to each cultist. Both of them are wearing alarming black masks.
"Sister Ellora is a Rezmutan. She has the ability to call forth your most painful memories and bring you to the absolute heights of emotional pain and despair. Brother Rellick is a Triilk, capable of using his powers to tap into the pain centers of the brain of most sentients."
Each of the cultists nod in greeting.
"You may each choose the nature of the pain you're willing to endure, physical or mental, but you still must choose. Those who can't endure aren't fit to join our ranks."
