Let's get to the point: Why is the Dwarf conducting alchemy experiments inside the body of a Maran Gor priestess? And what exactly is in that canned meat they send to the Earthshaker temple as tribute?

Judging from Greg's last rant (re: THE WORLD IS MADE OF EVERYTHING) he doesn't take divisions between gods and spirits nearly as seriously as the rest of us, reduced as we are to talmudic interpretations of the canon (if you'll forgive the analogy.) Was that on this list or Heroquest-RPG?
