I did some research and pretty sure that amount of maggots is not too exaggerated. 😖 Hope there’s no one with an intense phobia or disgust of maggots/wormy things reading this comic…
I should mention again that Gates himself is not a necromancer, but just your run-of-the-mill embalmer, so he’s happy to have Devere around since it makes the work way quicker.
Also a new Knell Lore page about the Locations of the world was added recently!

Gates: Anyway, go ahead and get rid of what maggots ya can.
Devere pulls off the sheet that was covering the corpse, and a few maggots come off with it.
Devere: Mm.
Devere raises his hands above the body and his eyes start glowing bright green.
We see some maggots wriggling a bit on the slab...
Only for them to shrivel up like dried grapes in the next shot, Devere having apparently killed them all at once.
Devere now has control over the maggots and pulls them out of the body and off the table. We see this in the form of him gesturing upwards with his hands and a mass of floating maggots following his movements.
Devere: His widow won't even wait for us to embalm him?
Next to Devere, Gates has brought over a barrel and removed the lid. Devere directs the mass of floating maggots into it with some arm more gestures.
Gates: Nope. Cleary barely got 'er to wait as it is.
Devere: But the decay... the smell.
