[[spoiler:The question is, is the fog the work of the demon to trap unlucky travelers, or is it a precaution by the priests meant to deter people from finding the shrine?]]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The shadow of the mask being drawn up over the table on which the victim lays eerily evokes the image of a giant roach or other insect crawling up the length of their body, [[spoiler:which is quite likely to be a symbol of the growing demonic possession the priests charged with killing them are trying to avert.]]

The [[spoiler:DemonicPossession]] seems to occur after seeing a specific statue, which then [[spoiler:bleeds from the eyes and causes accelerating hallucinations in the victim.
