Zaunite MOGS you, Renata.

We spent a few sessions investigating and fighting cultists and assassins, but no actual monsters. We learned vague bits of information concerning these "blood gods." Since my character was constantly in touch with his spymaster, the GM asked me whether my character kept the spy network on a need-to-know basis vis-à-vis the "blood god" investigation, or kept the network abreast of any relevant information. I chose the latter, figuring that a free flow of intel would be best.

At some seemingly random point in the middle of a session, the GM informed the other player and I that all of reality had been abruptly destroyed, and that there was nothing our PCs could do about it. Allegedly, these "blood gods" were eldritch horrors that were trying to demolish all of the cosmos, and slowly amassed the power to do so by having people curiously investigate them. The more people focused on investigating reports of "blood gods," the stronger these entities grew, until they finally reached critical mass and obliterate all of existence. If only my character had kept the spy network on a need-to-know basis, this could have been avoided.

There was neither a buildup to this nor a series of omens. For all I knew, the GM had simply grown tired of the game and concocted an excuse to shut it down.

According to the GM, when the two plot hooks were presented in-game, the duchess's disappearance was the fey-themed adventure, while the "blood gods" were eldritch horror. The GM thought that "blood gods" was obviously Lovecraftian-sounding, and thought that we changed our preference on which plot hook to initially pursue.

I GMed a few more games for that GM in the following years, but we quickly drifted apart. Meanwhile, I still play with and GM for that other player even to this day.
