Almost finished APGTE

I do find it funny that Akua basically imploded millenia of planning on the Wandering Bard's part by saying "Good is OP, please nerf"

Shades of Darkness: The Intercessor (1.2, Granada, 1983)

"Did you find these experiences... frightening?"

"No. I wasn't frightened by the little girl, one cannot be frightened by innocence. But I'm frightened by what lies beyond all this. There is a quality in the house and in the family, I sense, of evil and guilt. And corruption, if that isn't too strong a word."

"No, Mr. Garvin, that isn't too strong a word."
