Also, i'm surprised nobody picked up on this, or maybe they did but found it too obvious to post, but the scene where the first two Adventurers died ended with:
"The onlookers had the time between one heartbeat and the next to stare at the scene in complete silence and then the sphere exploded outward. Shrapnel flew, knocking to the ground those too slow to have ducked. Through the flying shrapnel and through closed eyelids, and even through hands covering faces, the adventurers saw three bright flashes of light - one blue, one red and the last a deep, sickly purple. After the final flare of colour faded away, the adventurers lay wounded and moaning in complete and utter darkness..."
The three flashes of light could indicate the Apostlethingies escaping. I think it's safe to say that the sickly purple orb of light was the Scum Apostlemajig. The fact that it was just Adventurers surrounding the orb could mean that there was no scum until this scene happened, and that it all starts with one Adventurer becoming a Bahamudite and recruiting others, or it just means that nobody had superpowers until this scene was posted.
