See, these guys aren't so bad. They just want "the ultimate enlightenment". They're not just murderous... oh, wait...

Things are still not looking too good for Mercy...

Seriously, what's WRONG with these people?

There's not really a way I can spin this to make it seem like the cultists are not evil. They're being really straightforward and purple. And I don't like the look of that one guy with the goatee. He looks super crazy.

It's the tongue. Super crazy-looking people stick out their tongues.

And yeah, they pretty much wear their hearts on their sleeves at the end of the day...

Oh, so that's why I suddenly find American politics comprehensible when I forget to shave for too long.

"...what's WRONG with these people?"

Just a wild stab on my part, but could it have something to do with the whole "Blood-sacrifice, Elder-Gods-worshiping death cult" motif they've got going here?

I'll tell you what's wrong with these people, they're the kind of morons who would enter into combat wearing hooded robes with the hoods still up. Unless those hoods are as better than kevlar for protection they probably aren't worth the hit to peripheral sight/field of view.

Bad tactics (the cultists, who have numbers) vs. seemingly bad tactics (Mercy, who probably has tricks up her sleeve)...

Who wins? :P

I think I might really have it this time: The person who most effectively turns it into a story to get free drinks at the bar afterwards.

and its not a normal bomb as it explods with etherial energy. What dose this do not much agenst anyone not conected with magic however this lot have been willingly openning themselfs up elirich magics witch have left the "door" open for the resulting etherial explosion to hit them like a concussion grenade! Also this will have the added bonus of blowing the metaphorical "fuse" of any magical traps near by.
