Apparently it kind of collapsed on its own, but they did succeed in summoning their god. Defeating her was a different issue, but that was also achieved with... minimal casualties.
[ doesn't dwell on that long. anyway, ]
And your game? Did you defeat the cult, as a group?
We allowed them to complete their ritual, but sabotaged it so that their god would emerge incomplete and... in a sort of pathetic state. Then we defeated both the god and the cult.

The reason I invited you over to talk is because you are young, so I wished to check in on you, yet you seem like you might not appreciate being treated too much like a child.

There's a girl not much older than you as part of my squadron at home. I like her very much, as she's intelligent and extremely capable, but her shyness and my own manner don't go together very well.

I see. In my homeworld, those that resemble you would likely be demons, but I've learned that term carries different connotations elsewhere.
