- Aquillus returns to the SpongOnAStick and waits the rest of the group. We read the scroll info and then some go to see if Terga's master knows more: FidenaeStadium, NeroStatium.
Party continues to assume / think
- possibly a reference to the legendary Bull statue from sacking of Carthage which was used for sacrifice.
- but reallistically - Nero is building an amphitheatre called the Statillus Tarus.
- "the place of the Standing Bull" = amphitheatre called the Statillus Tarus
- nero is holding inagural games on the last day of Saturnalia in this new amphitheatre.
- pontifect diary references the 'disaster repeating' ref Fidenea
- pontifect diary references the disaster in five days , last day saturanlia
- "one who is many" could be the demon who turns into many beetles terga encountered 'earlier'
- but what is the "vengeance of Charun" we have to exact on "one who is many"
