I was just sacrificing some gold to boost piety as part of a test, and I had something very odd happen. I was a crowned L+ char who had closed the gate successfully.

Code:
You see an ancient altar of pure white marble.
How many (ENTER = 100630000)?
You feel as if transgressing some law. You sense a conflict between supernatural entities.
Shalla and Auroree seem to be quarreling for supremacy!
Auroree triumphes!
You hear the angry wail of Shalla.
The altar glows in a gray shine.
The 100530000 gold pieces are engulfed by gray mist and disappear.
You see an ancient altar of gray granite.
Why would a lawful person making a sacrifice on a lawful alter be giving it to the neutral god? I knew that kinda thing could happen with live sacrifices, but gold?
