[ You spill out of the elevator into the chapel— the elevator is gone when you look back.
Flavor text.

You enter the Chapel. Dazzling chandeliers hang from the high ceilings, the rows of pews draped with gold-embroidered cloth; the candle holders look as if they could go on the market for hundreds of dollars. Such decadence for a place of God.

At the front of the Chapel's hall there is an altar with wilted flowers on the corner of either side that crumble into fine dust to the touch. A holy book sits in the center of the altar - it's hard to read, but there's something that can barely be read: "...God did not spare angels ... but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment…"

Regardless of whether you read the holy book or not, you'll find a feeling bubbling up in your throat, a craving- not yours, not quite. Something out of your reach denied because others were too foolish, too fearful but damn them all! Really damn them all-- they stopped you last time but this time they'll be the ones on the slab and exaltation will be within your reach. It's manic, a line of mania and seething that bleeds out like someone's guts had once been spilled here like confessions from loose lips. But you're fine. Your stomach is whole, sealed, and you have a solid piece of reality between your mind and the manic echo burbling at the back of it. You could reach for it, but you'd have to try and why would you want to? But if you lose your sanity or gain too much damage, that pane between you and it will fall and it'll overwhelm you.

A holy symbol hangs from a hook near the exit, Exael's hologram crouching beneath it, her chin resting on her knees. If you have questions and she's not busy with hosting or another unit, she'll appear here to answer them.

A readout on your phone tells you the rules and displays the sanity goal (explore rooms) and your traitor goal (perform a human sacrifice to summon a demon) as well as the item that you've been given (holy item). It looks like nothing is stopping you from committing the traitor goal even while you're sane, if you wish to.

There is one exit: East. ]

[ he was just about to throw a tantrum of his own because the last thing he remembers is being prevented from getting a kill in by Cardigan, but that's a strange enough sight to distract him. ]

[tens of thousands of dollars worth of property damage right there, probably.]

Iiii... think I am okay? I couldn't keep my eyes open after I got hit a lot, but I can now. It doesn't hurt. [but anyway, more importantly-] We need to go find another one.
