God of Blood

[AWD Those (online text)]: A being that lurks beneath an ancient abbey on the estate of Lord Leveredge. Some authorities believe that the Celts erected the abbey first as a temple of Druidic worship, so it is likely they were worshippers of the God of Blood. In 777 A.D., a party of Danes disappeared while attempting to besiege the temple. In 1537, the temple was raided by a band of Henry VIII's Reformation mercenaries. In modern times, a fisherman was slain two days after sleeping in the abbey and dreaming about a creature with green eyes. On another occasion, Arnsley found an opening leading beneath the abbey, and was slain by the creature within.

An inscription in the abbey reads QUI. PETIVERENT. INVENTIENT, which is a quotation from the Bible: 'Those Who Seek Shall Find.' Possibly the inscription was intended as a clue to the presence of the god beneath.

The god is like a huge black-green jelly, and equipped with long red tentacles with minute suckers. It slobbers and gibbers as it comes. It gives off a blue-gray light, and a bright green from its eyes. Its victims are found crushed and horribly mangled, with deep claw-like tears in the flesh, many marks as if from tiny suckers, and a ghastly whiteness from a massive loss of blood.

Aka: God of Life.
