Better plot twist: the professor docks them ten points for misspelling "vessel."
Edit: LOL, downvotes from people trying to find meaning in this clear error.
I agree that "vassal of horror" is an unusual turn of phrase but the amount of arguing about this post online just about that phrase alone is staggering. It almost makes wonder if the original note was written by a AI-bot since it's the exact kind of unique phrase that -sounds good- but hasn't come up organically yet in any other published work.
College students learning new terms are predisposed to coming up with phrases that aren't common and only partially make sense.
