Knowing what we know now, I think it's safe to say there's probably something out there. Something besides the cultists could have come in to go after Aventurine. Maybe Death followed to try to help and was outnumbered.

[and we'll never know!!! (they will find out tomorrow, but for now they really don't know shit.)]

From what I heard, some of these buildings weren't here at first and then appeared later. If something that big can be hidden in the fog until it feels like revealing itself, there could be something out there we can't even imagine yet. [...] I haven't seen the crows around to try and reach the others. Have you?
