quote:Geltor had one portal left after you went on the rampage destroying all things Geltor-related throughout Kirwood. It was entrusted to the Assassins guild, but FF essentially destroyed. That said... AVIN - God of Languages and Patron Deity of the Ishnu Tribe Avin is generally a neutral god. However, he tends not to think of long-term consequences and, as a result, ends up getting himself embroiled in some sort of complex scheme or inter-deity fight. He desires extra power since, compared to almost any other god on the playing field, he lacks a great deal of it. Being a God of languages doesn't bring much power, and as such, he also branched out to being the patron deity of the Ishnu tribe 526 years ago. He became a nomad traveling with the Ishnu 512 years ago, hoping to achieve the subtlety and grace of the last god of languages, and to also perform some research on some sort of object in private. However, as shown by his occasionally rash actions, he has yet to achieve subtlety of any kind. Avin's offensive prowess his comparably weak, and he relies on his defensive abilities and wit to fight a foe of equal or greater status. He's also learned how to draw power directly from his followers, but, as recently shown, he usually refuses to do it for the sake of the tribe. Avin has a connection with James, which has yet to be revealed fully. However, they obviously knew each other from long ago. Aside from him, however, Avin has had little to no contact with any other god for centuries. He recently has been researching higher gods; deities on a higher hierarchy than any other present day god. He hasn't had much success with the project. WHITE-HAIRED WOMAN - ??? Not much is known about her. She was present at the explosion of an alchemy shop centuries ago, which claimed nine lives. She also has recently been hunting Avin, and has displayed power well past his. She appears to be drawn to a magical device, which was present at the alchemy shop when it exploded and is also currently being built by Avin. She obviously doesn't want one of these devices to exist, but her motivations for hunting them down are yet unknown. Her incredible power and longevity would suggest she was a deity, but as Sliros could not sense her, it is possible that she is, in fact, a mortal.

You know, this started out as a neat RP. But, even though I hate to say it, I think it's beyond repair at this point. If it continues it it's current direction, expect to see a departure IC post from me in the near future. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here.

Aw, crap. I just wrote an IC that sort of negated the meeting. Still, I'm still in Joth, so it should be pretty easy to find me. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

Avin rolled onto his back and stared up at the strange god. It was a tense moment, broken by the sound of what could only be a child running up to them. Both gods looked in the direction of the sound, and in that split second, Avin was accosted by some sort of... well, she was hard to describe. It was like someone took the personality of a young girl and implanted it into a grown woman. Whomever she was, she roughly helped the weakened god to his feet, chittering away and clearly excited. Avin realized that the other god had vanished, unnoticed by the arrival. "Lucky you." He thought miserably as the woman continued to go on. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Just who are you?" "Yumi! Goddess of Butterflies! And..." Once again, she went off on a wild tangent of loosely-related topics in the same shrill voice. "And I though being a God of Languages was ridiculous." Avin decided to see if he could get any useful information out of her. "Who do you work for?" "James! He's my boyfriend, and he's also Serena's boyfriend, and we're all going to get married and get a house with a nice yard..." "Ack! Too much information! I don't want to know what James has going on behind closed doors! Still, I wonder what he wants so desperately with me. I've known him for too long, he has to have some sort of ulterior motive for doing this." Avin tried to ask his next query as carefully as possible, in an attempt to keep from tipping Yumi off. "So," he said in a nonchalant voice. "What has James been up to recently?" "I think he's off arranging our wedding!" Yumi replied cheerfully. "Charming. This goddess is as clueless as... well, I'm not sure what equals her oblivious nature. But either way, I doubt I'd get much out of her." Avin replied in a similar cheery tone. "Well, it was nice meeting you. Goodbye!" "But I don't want you to go! Why don't you stay here, or better yet, we can wait in the temple for James to come back!" Yumi seemed absolutely infatuated with the idea. Avin, however, was less than thrilled. "Now you've done it. Quick, think of a diversion... she said she was the goddess of butterflies, right?" Avin quickly spoke, pointing to a random point behind Yumi, "Hey! That guy just stepped on one of your butterflies! Go get him!" Yumi turned around to see what Avin was pointing at, and in that moment, Avin ran as fast and as hard as he could. Yumi turned back to where Avin once stood, confused. "Where? I don't see... Hey!" =================================================== Avin panted. He was back in Kirwood proper. However, despite the intense desire to rest, he knew he couldn't risk it. Not with that butterfly thing after him. Thus, he decided to take a trip to the library. He was interested to see if it had any books on a certain, generally taboo subject: the theory of pantheon greater than this one. What he had found thusfar was generally sketchy, but it was enough to pique his interest. He walked through town towards the library, trying to decide on what to say. Eventually, he decided on just a simple question, and see where it lead from there. He walked through the open doors of the library and quickly found the librarian, a middle-aged man with a feather duster. "Excuse me, I'm looking for specific books. Namely, ones that have been branded heresy." "Why? Reading them is forbidden for obvious reasons, so without a very good reason, I can't let you access them." Avin thought quickly, and he got an idea. "I'm not here to read them; I'm here to dispose of them." "Oh! It's about time! You know, you guys are always at least a week late, so it's about time someone got here when they said they would. Right this way, sir..." The Librarian lead him to the very back, which had a bin full of discarded books. "Do whatever you do with them; I have other things to deal with." With that, the librarian went back to the shelf he had been attending. Avin quickly grabbed the bin and started dragging it out of the library. He got some startled and amazed looks from passers-by as he dragged them through the streets and back to the slums. There, he found an abandoned hut, which he dragged the banned books into. Then, after closing the door and making sure he had privacy, he started reading through them. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

I've picked out a few songs, but I recently lost my entire folder of music, save for six songs. So this isn't a complete list by far. Avin - Complicated by Carolyn Dawn Johnson (It fits because Avin is essentially getting himself into more and more complex schemes with every passing IC) Sliros & White-haired Woman - In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins (It fits Sliros because he tends to have a spooky, aloof theme about him. Also, he can feel changes in the world around him. It fits the white-haired woman because of how she's acting; she's essentially playing bounty hunter, with Avin as her current target.) Geltor - My Give a Damn's Busted by Jo Dee Messina (First off, yes, that's a real song. It fits because of how Safey is acting at the moment. Actually, it sort of fits Sliros's aloofness too, but I think my selection for him is more appropriate.) James - Simply Irresistible by Robert Palmer ( :D ) -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

quote:In real life and just in general, you're correct. However, if Geltor has the power to take down a perfectly healthy god in one or two hits, he's massively overpowered. It's incredibly unlikely that, by the time the god had taken the first hit, it would have sat around, waiting to be killed. He would have put up a fight, ambush or not. quote:You know what they call that? An ambush. Seriously, the whole point of an ambush is to deceive the target into thinking he or she is safe and nothing is amiss, and then spring the trap. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here.

I'm fully aware of what an ambush is, thank-you-very-much. I'm also aware that it provides a significant tactical advantage in a fight. But it still stands that you cannot kill a god in a single blow. Or two blows, for that matter. The only reason the woman in my most recent IC thread (almost) got away with it was because Avin was in pretty bad shape already, and it wouldn't have taken much to finish him off. And yet she still lost! -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

quote:It doesn't matter if Geltor had the advantage, you practically obliterated him in a single blow. If you were facing anything less than a god in that fight, that would be reasonable, but fact is, you destroyed a god that was both healthy and strong in a single hit. If that isn't overpowered, I don't know what is. quote:Yes he would, because you, and I cannot emphasize this strongly enough, YOU CAN'T KILL A GOD IN A SINGLE BLOW! quote:They're probably talking about the drought you invoked across Kalandha. quote:BECAUSE THIS IS OUR RP! BECAUSE YOUR ACTIONS AFFECT MORE THAN JUST PEOPLE HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH YOUR BUSINESS! *takes a calming breath* Have you ever thought of how your actions affects the other RPers, or are you just thinking of yourself?

That was the character's OPINION. Not a fact. That was what Sliros thought on the matter, not a point-blank fact written in stone. EDIT: Cares? You've been essentially steam-rolling over what everyone else thinks should happen. We say that Geltor is a little overpowered, so what do you do? You give him the ability to raze villages (albeit indirectly), gain an army of followers, and even corrupt gods! We voice a little louder that you're getting overpowered, so what do you do? You have your main character unite with a character more powerful than yourself (keeping in mind that your character is already overpowered) to make an uber-threat against the entire RP! This RP is for ALL of us, even non-participants. It doesn't just exist to entertain you.

Avin moved quickly through the Joth district, as he had heard it called by the locals. Apparently, some odd goings-on had been happening of late. But Avin didn't care. "Curses for constantly leaving myself so weak! I'm supposed to be smarter then that!" Avin knew that, while a little bit of his energy was back, and he could easily take some from the tribe, the possibility was there for whoever this woman was to strike him down if he didn't move fast. "From now on, I'm slowing down. I don't care if I said I'll join James in a week, I can't keep risking myself like this. I'll push it back to a month if I have to do so." Avin wasn't paying much attention to where he was going, until he heard a familiar voice. "...are far less forgiving than I." Another voice spoke, this one seemingly disembodied. "I know that Geltor seeks out Makroangkeen. The Gatekeeper will take care of him." James replied, though he was clearly flustered, "But he's certainly a threat. And you need my help to defeat him." "Pretty confident for someone that's trying to recruit gods at the local temple," Avin said to himself. "I wonder if he truly knows how deep he is in this." Avin remembered Makroangkeen from experience, and shuddered. The conversation between the two continued, with James pushing at every angle to get the other god (for Avin had pretty much figured out that the other speaker was divine as well) to join him. Eventually, it seemed that James gave up on the idea and left. But any consideration for what took place was quickly wiped from his mind when he heard the unsheathing of a blade behind him, and the voice of the one he so desperately was attempting to avoid. "You have something I've wanted for a long time." Avin didn't even stop to think. He drew his blade and whipped around to face the menace. The woman reacted by launching a stream of flame in his direction, which Avin dodged. She then closed the distance between them and swung her sword at Avin's neck. He only got the blade up in time to stop his opponent, but was sent stumbling backwards by her strength and ferocity. He quickly muttered a handful of spells in hopes of leveling the playing field between them, then launched a counter-strike against her. Even with enchantments placed on himself, he was only just a match for the woman. "Who IS she?!? She can't be mortal; no mortal possesses this kind of power!" Soon, he was losing ground against her. He parried a blow, then backed a good distance away and launched several missiles of fire, ice, and light at her. She shrugged them off as if they were nothing more than a gentle breeze, and returned fire with an orb of cyan energy. Avin was blasted into the air and landed ten feet away, stunned. The woman then began some sort of long incantation as Avin lay virtually helpless. "What... have I... done... this time...?" He tried to struggle to his feet, but was too weak. He collapsed. However, it rolled him onto his side, and he could see what his aggressor was doing. The incantation was producing a massive ball of violet energy, which Avin had no doubt would be capable of killing him. "There has to be... a way out of this." He reviewed all of his godly powers, but he realized that being a patron god of the Ishnu nor understanding long-lost languages would provide little aid. He almost consigned himself to his fate; but then, he got an idea. It was absolutely insane, and probably beyond his scope of power, but maybe... just maybe... The woman delivered the final words to the incantation and launched the spell. But the spell backfired; instead of hitting her target, it went backwards and hit herself. She was blasted clean through multiple nearby walls as the immense power within the orb unleashed its incredible destructive capabilities. Avin simply laid there, out of breath and thoroughly exhausted. That's when he became aware of the fact that the god who had previously been in conversation with James was now standing directly over him. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here.

Erm, LF? If Avin met James while James was still mortal, that would mean that, in order for James to become 9238 years older than Avin, he would have to have been mainly in realities/planes of existence/whatever that had hyper-accelerated timetables. Not that it matters much, but still. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

Ephesos, a PM regarding a meeting between Sliros and Avin. EDIT: Oh, and I'd like to keep control of the white-haired woman to myself for the time being. This is because of how important she is to Avin's running backstory and plot.

OoC: I sincerely apologize in advance for the incredible and ridiculous length of the preceding. It seemed quite a bit shorter in my head. =================================================== Avin walked the streets of Lousia, extremely pleased with himself. Finally, he found a use for his powers: archeology. Ancient tombs of long-dead kings and even gods were like an open book to him. However, he still had to get used to his powers... being new to godhood, he had some experimentation to do. In his musings, he noticed an eccentric-looking man entering a run-down alchemy shop. Avin followed him in to discover that, like many fools, he was wasting away his days trying to turn various minerals into gold. He also seemed to make various potions and brews which actually worked. Avin, however, decided to follow the man to the back room. There, he noticed some unusual objects that didn't seem to be part of the same scheme. A beautiful, flawless diamond stood on a golden pedestal. It radiated a small level of power. Suddenly, the man turned around. "What do you want? If you want me to sell you something, you can wait in the front!" With that, the man shooed him out before he could come up with some excuse. Thinking carefully, he decided to see if some of the meager spells he could cast in his mortal life worked now as a deity. He muttered the incantation, and vanished. Slipping again into the back room, he saw the man staring lovingly at the crystal. "You'll make me rich and famous, that's for sure. Don't worry, though... I'll make sure those mages take good care of you." The man continued to mutter similar things to the crystal. At that point, the front door slammed open. Avin turned, then attempted to move quickly out of the way of a woman who entered the shop. It was close; the sleeves of their tunics actually touched very briefly. Thankfully, the woman appeared to not take notice. She was shockingly gorgeous, to say the least. Pure white hair streamed down her unblemished skin, and she wore clothing of the highest quality. However, Avin immediately knew there was more to her than met the eye. She immediately moved to the crystal, which caused the man to stand between her and it. "I've had enough of this nonsense! Out! Get out!" At this point, the woman grabbed the man's arm, causing him to fall to his knees. "I came here because I want something done. I won't leave until I am sure that it happens." She stared dispassionately at the man as he said this. "What do you want?" The man asked, trembling slightly from shock. "I want you to destroy the crystal. Your kind is not meant for it, and the power it entails. I'm here to make sure that happens." "NO!" The man yelled angrily. "My life has gone into this! For 10 years, I have labored on this device, making sure it worked! I finally completed it, and I won't see it destroyed because you see fit to do so!" The woman smiled coldly, then kicked the man aside as if he was no more than a feral dog. Avin again had to move, this time to avoid the unfortunate man. The woman approached the crystal and caressed it softly. "Before I destroy this, I want to know where the plans are." Suddenly, Avin felt something gripping his leg. Looking down, he saw the man staring up at him. He then pointed to a drawer just past the woman. Realizing in shock that his invisibility spell had worn off, he muttered the incantation again, hoping the woman didn't hear it. She did, though, and turned around to face the man on the ground just a moment after Avin disappeared again. "What did you say?" The woman asked, seemingly amused. "That now I will kill you!" The man yelled, yanking a knife from under his apparel. He charged the woman, but she stopped him with considerable ease, grabbing both his throat and the blade of the knife. "Pathetic." She said as she started choking the life out of the man. While she was distracted, Avin carefully opened the indicated draw and found the plans for the crystal. Tucking them into his tunic, he then considered attempting to take down whoever this woman was, but decided against it. This man seemed determined to have these plans survive, and Avin planned to obey his wish. The woman dropped the man and began rifling through the drawers, cabinets, and anything else nearby. Finally, she turned and said something incomprehensible. A beam of light shot from her hand to the man's chest, and in an instant, there was nothing left but a pile of ash. Avin was rooted to the spot with shock as the woman left the room. Avin soon followed. Stepping out onto the street, he saw that the woman had seemingly disappeared. He also saw a gang of eight mages approaching the shop. Avin moved away despite still being invisible. They entered the shop and Avin could see them enter the back room. "Well," Avin said to no one in particular. "At least she didn't manage to destroy the crys-" Avin's words were cut off by a massive explosion. Indigo flames ripped apart the alchemy shop, blowing pieces of wood high into the sky. Everything nearby, including Avin himself, was thrown backwards by the sheer power of the explosion. And everything faded into nothingness... =================================================== Avin stared out the window as his mind recalled the events of eons past. He had been so naive, then... Still a young god, in search of both followers and a religion. Sure, he was, and is, the god of languages, but still, it was nothing to base any sort of doctrine on. He moved these thoughts from his mind; he had a job to do. Reaching into his shirt, he pulled out an aged sheet of parchment, the plans he had recovered so long ago. And now, those plans would come to fruition. He contacted two of the shamans in the village. In Ishnuish, he said to them, "Prepare the diamond. Have it ready for transport on my signal. And whatever you do, do not damage it." He then went downstairs and left the inn. He immediately went for the temple again, and, much to his chagrin, found James was still there. Realizing that frequently coming in and out of the temple might make him more suspicious than he already was, he cast an invisibility spell. Then he headed for his concealed shrine again. Once inside, he connected to the shamans. He felt his energy suddenly start flowing out of him as he cast a teleportation spell. Suddenly, with a bright flash, a 2-and-a-half foot long diamond appeared in midair. Avin had to move quickly to catch it before it hit the floor. It was hexagonal in shape through it's body and the ends came to pyramid-shaped tips. He carefully lifted the large gemstone and gently started dropping it into the hollow inside the statue. It fit perfectly, with the top of the diamond still exposed. Avin then took the plans out again and, following them to the letter, started chanting. He placed a hand on the diamond, and light started flowing from his hand into it. The god's very energy flowed into the gemstone. The chanting increased, as the god grew weaker and the energy flowing into the diamond grew stronger. After an hour, it reached it's apex and there was a flash of light. Avin withdrew his hand, and surveyed the results. The glow that had lit up the chamber had gone, but the diamond was now putting off a gentle glow. It was nearly imperceptible, which was a good thing for Avin. He stayed still, attempting to regain his composure. Almost every ounce of energy he possessed was channeled into this stone. The man, who died so long ago, now had his life's work complete. However, Avin had just begun. He experimentally tried drawing a bit of energy from the stone, and had extremely limited success. Most of it was lost between him and the stone, even though they were mere feet apart. The stone had been designed to store energy for magical machinery, not to be drawn out directly. Fortunately for Avin, he knew how he could accomplish this. But it would take even more time and energy to do. Reluctantly, he left the stone and wandered outside. He had become visible now. And he decided to take a stroll. Surely, a city as beautiful as this would have something to offer for one such as him. And if not, well, he could always go back to the Ishnu camp. But something else interrupted those plans; with a thrill of horror, he saw striding through the gates the white-haired woman of so long ago. He promptly hid behind a building, hoping to listen in on what she was doing or had planned. He heard her cold voice again as she started asking peasants questions. And most of them were asking whether or not they had seen a person matching Avin's description. Panicked, Avin fled into the more run-down parts of the city, seeking refuge. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

Exploits of the last two centuries played over in Avin's mind. Successes, failures, and his general welfare for the Ishnu were all present. He remembered when he finally made a breakthrough with the project, when he blessed the newborn tribe members with a spell of his own creation which made them stronger than most, when he learned how to intimately link himself to the tribe... The memory that stood the clearest, though, was one that occurred a mere 3 years ago... =================================================== Avin recovered from his ordeal. Frankly, fighting a shade and discovering a long-lost god wasn't his idea of a relaxing time. Still, he had a job to do, and he needed it done on schedule. The sooner he could get this done, the better. He gingerly eased himself up and glanced up at the sky. The moon was fairly high, now... No doubt, several hours had passed since he first came back to the camp. Some of his energy had returned, partially in thanks to a slight, steady draw of energy from the tribe. It would be enough for his purposes, for now. Severing the link of energy, he gets up and heads back towards Kirwood. The guards don't bother him much, which was pleasant. He immediately made a beeline for the temple. His work was important, but first, he needed to resolve this James issue. Avin stepped through the doors and went straight for the love god’s shrine. "Long time, no see, James." James glanced up. "Yeah, I suppose. Who are you again?" "Avin, the god of languages" "Oh. I thought you looked familiar. How're things?" "Not bad. I've become the patron god of the Ishnu tribe since we last met." "Sounds important. I supposed it's better than being a love god." "You think so?" Avin asked quizzically. "Because I'd think being a god of love would be a whole lot more exciting than overseeing a single tribe of people. Of course, I've been doing other things as well, but..." "But what?" James asked, mildly suspicious. "That's something I would prefer to keep to myself. Not that I don't trust you, but it would probably be better to keep it secret for now. "Well, since it's you, I'm sure it's important. Probably not as important as saving the world from the dark forces of evil, like I'm trying to do, but important none the less." "Saving the world?" Avin looked mildly dubious. "That doesn't sound like something you would normally do." "Yes, I know, but I can't help it. I don't really seem to have a choice. I feel compelled to do it. Like some unknown force is guiding me, pushing me to do what by now is looking more and more like a suicide quest. Especially since there are so many powerful enemies and I've got next to no one helping me." "Powerful enemies? I..." Avin stalled. Then, as if he was ashamed to admit it, added, "I haven't been in contact with the pantheon for a long time. 512 years, to be exact. So I really have no idea what's going on." "I've only been part of the pantheon for less than a week, so I don't really know much more than you do. All I can tell you is about the threats, many of which I've had first hand experience with." Avin thought for a moment, and then pulled a vial out of his shirt. It was the same vial of red substance that he had taken from the dead shade. "Are any of them demons, by chance?" "Yeah. A demon known as Geltor is the head of the demons. He claims to be the God of Demons. Not sure why demons can become gods, but I know from personally experience it's possible, so there may be some merit to his claims." "Hmm. And I suppose you're recruiting deities to help deal with this threat. Although this is sort of an odd place for a recruiting station." "I know, but a many deities come to the temple, so I figured that I was bound to run into some good ones who would help me if I waited long enough. That and this is the most idiotic place for someone to set up a base, so surely none of my enemies would think to look for me here." "I don't think anyone would look for you here. It was mere happenchance that I ran into you. And that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the ch-" Avin caught himself, then continued, "-the work I'm doing here in Kirwood." "True. It would be nice if you'd let me in on what you're doing, but I know you're not going to do that. Not that I could help you anyway. What with all the work I've got to do." "Well... how soon are you leaving?" "I'd like to leave as soon as possible and deal with the threats quickly, before they gain even more power than they already have, which right now is considerably more than I seem to have. However, as we all know, that never happens when major crises come up. I won't really be ready to do much of anything until I've gotten me at least 2 other deities to help me out." "I should be done with what I'm doing in a week. So if you wait until then, I'll join you." "I think I can work with that. It'll probably take me that long to find some else anyway. So until then... Good luck with whatever it you're doing and I'll see you in a week." "Very well." Avin turned to leave, but then thought of something. "Oh, and one last thing. If you need me, I have a tribesman in the local inn. His name is Ugrak, and while he'll be incapable of understanding you, he'll still alert me. If that happens, I'll come as soon as I can." "Oh, language barriers aren't really a problem for me anymore. Got me a spell for that now." "Well, in any case, we shall meet again." "I look forward to it, even if it is under such unpleasant circumstances." Avin turns and walks away. He steps across the temple threshold, glances back to see if James is watching, and then doubles back. He heads for his own shrine and steps through the illusionary wall. "All right. Now that the James issue is taken care of, all I need to do now is complete the process." Avin sits on a broken column, and ponders what to do for a moment. Then, he waves his hands in an intricate pattern. The spell immediately starts draining his energy, as he quite expected. A white liquid starts dripping off of the marble of the crumbling statue. At first, it appears to be that the stone is bleeding, but then the nature of the spell becomes apparent. The marble starts melting entirely. After an hour, all that's left of the statue is a massive white shapeless blob of liquid where it once stood. Avin moves his hands, and the blob of marble separates into one larger and one smaller blob. Avin moves his hands again, and the smaller one solidifies. Then, surging his hands in an upward motion, the marble surged up and took the form of the statue again from neck down. He then let it solidify. Using a nearby column as a foot stool, he glanced downwards at the mostly-complete statue. From the outside, it looked ordinary, aside from the fact it currently lacked a head. However, Avin's perspective allowed him to view a new addition to the statue. The torso was partially hollow, with a perfectly square hole about two feet long. It was as if something was to be inserted into it. Smiling, Avin suddenly realized how weak he was. He communicated to Gulix that he wasn't returning to camp, and then sought out the local inn for rest. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

quote:If you guys don't mind, I'd like to play this out over the course of the RP. This would fit in nicely with the question of where the gods originally came from, and I'd like to have part of what Avin is doing motivated by finding proof for this. It wouldn't be a major threat, just another aspect of Kalandha deity system. And, if worse comes to worse, they can be used as a way of stopping out-of-control RP elements, like a Rakshasi-type threat. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here.
