  • Profanity

Inside the soot-blackened walls of the Skallagrim Abattoir, thousands of steam-driven hooks haul slaughtered beast carcasses along a mechanized labyrinth. But tonight, the butchered meat is pulling itself back together. An occult chimeric entity has hooked itself into the overhead rail system, turning the factory into an automated harvesting machine. Master Butcher Kolskegg arms his floor workers with bone-saws, while Chief Engineer Berglind fights to disable the runaway steam gears. Guard Provost Einarr hunts for the corporate saboteur who introduced the tainted herd, and Hrapp’s vat scavengers fight for survival in the flooded offal cellars. They must cut the power, or end up on the hooks.
