Putrescence

A Diabolic Monster from the Celestial Codex.

Historical Data

The word Golgotha originates with Gûlgaltâ in Aramaic, meaning Skull. In the time of Christ, Golgotha, called the Place of Skulls and synonymous with Calvary, was the historical mount upon which murderers, rapists and bandits were crucified for their crimes. As these sinners died, they would naturally expel bowel and bladder in their death throes. The result, as director Kevin Smith teaches us in his film Dogma, is the Excremental, one of Hell’s chief assassins.

Amtgard Description

Demons of Putrescence, called Golgothans or Excrementals, almost defy description, so intense is the level of sheer disgust they are capable of instilling in mortals. Imagine the most disgustingblob of muck and filth possible, throw in some bubbling sewage and rotten fish and then give the whole thing arms, legs and a bad attitude. Pretty, no?

Garb

Yuck. Good luck. Try cutting a hole in a plastic trash bag and wearing it like a tabard. Of course, disgusting make-up, tattered clothes or anything in chartreuse, murky brown or vile green.
