Honestly it would explain why he's helping you, he's trying to put these runts in their place
i don't think they ever like outright say it but it is extremely heavily implied
i'm pretty sure the crypt you find him in is literally an old temple to jergal
In my Chris file, I got to roll religion enough times that I got ‘divine presence’ ‘death’ and “hey are you a god?” To which withers was like STOP ASKING QUESTIONS YOU SHIT except in a withers way
So yes I absolutely believe it’s just Jergal being like ‘these stupid kids’
it’s his fault they’re here anyway
it's so heavily implied that I don't think it's possible he isnt
there's a book you can find that describes jergal asking people the value of a life, in the exact way withers does when you meet him
Yeah I'm on my third game and in my first I didn't actually find him, he just showed up. In my second I didn't connect the dots but this time I was like HOLD THE FUCK UP
My second game was a barbarian so I don't think I rolled well enough on religion to have all the info
yeah he's probably jergal
