Pantheon 2.0 - Game Thread

[I'm Murrin]

And yet, he still promises that the time of his transformation has come. He has said nothing that indicates that his removal from the world will prevent its mutation. I suspect that the mutation is precisely what he plans: should Bhakti offer himself, Nor Yekith will claim all that Bhakti had and with that power, complete his work. When the world is entirely transformed, I expect he will be content to leave, and find some other realm into which to spread his malice.

[Astavyastataa Kadna]

Ah, young goddess of the air ... my FAVORED travel instantaneously! no time is involved ... it is a bending and warping of space. It is a manifestation of the gravitic - tidal forces that power my Realms ... and the ultimate Omega of the Universe. The winds of chaos are part of my FAVORED ... a bond between deity, domains, blessings, and POWER. Saddly, my favored are few - a small pecentage of my followers. My armies and others must rely on more ... traditional methods of travel.

Now, the winds gifted to the 150 ... er 149 ...[hmmmm ... Master of Undeath ... the Dragon you claimed can go "between" (tho not very well! ) does she have that power still in service to YOU now?] But the dragons are disconnected from me ... hence the time delay - and the need for precision to avoid disaster.

As to the revelation. I agree it it is true; that if Bahkti is sacrificed ... and Malice leaves ... seems to be a good trade!

Trade ... what say you WENCH!!? Goddess of Trade ... what additional payment would you require for your troublesome husband. I am sure the Pantheon would compensate you! I SMELL PROFIT Jove!!

AH!!!! Asta, you finally speak my language!!

What are you willing to barter? Yourself?

Tempting as you are jeweled encrusted one ... I am promised to another

BUT, I am sure there are some riches ... or perhaps we can discuss an Alliance of other Chaos benefits, that will compensate you for the loss of your "tree hugger"! After all, what do tree huggers know about the joyous CHAOS that wealth spread abundantly can bring!!

[O-gon-cho]

:::OK...overreaction time again:::

What are y'all saying? Bhakti for Nor Yekith leaving? Are y'all crazy? The Pantheon of Eiranmust have one of the Bhakti line at all times, and Zephyr is not ready!!!

:::so says one who has watched the goings on from before her Hatching...from even before Eiran was formed:::

[Benito Alvarez]

No at all, Sister. Bhakti did as anyone here would have done, should we have been apporached my nor in such a way, he laughed.

Although I cannot think of what he gained by approaching Bhakti with such an offer, I likewise cannot believe that he actuall though it would work!

[Injerian Praetus II]

"The ambassador of Nor Pupae and Yekithii, Yerrgh Akith, would like to make announcement." The Yekith crawled into Jove's merchant guild as it spoke. "Please distribute a message to all ports so that the pantheon becomes aware."

The worm uncoiled itself and reared to full height, extending its claws as it did so. "An alliance is offered to the Lord of Chaos and Destruction and Argothoth. Melirelle and Nor Yekith have entered into an alliance. That is all."

The Yekith then left the guild.

[Astavyastataa Kadna]

Do you believe every rumour that passes among the mortals? The blame for the murders lies at the feet of Astavyastataa, who even in his greatest efforts at stealth is so lacking in subtlety as to make those efforts entirely worthless.

Prove to me god of death that MY followers spread death in your lands under my orders. Surely you would have posted the evidence so far!!

... or is it TRUE, god of death ... that you return to your old ways!! Killing your followers!!! Even Malice would not be so vile!! Shame on you!!

Proof? Simply the obvious chain of events: Your followers appear in my lands, spreading trouble, but not hiding their allegiance. You learn of this, and swear they will be more hidden in the future. The next turn, the same chaos is spreading, but they are no longer declaring themselves. And a series of murders carried out by those who can do what you have freely admitted your chosen followers can do? The conclusion is self-explanatory.
And there is of course the fact that the ones you sent to kill my prophet called out your name as they died.

FOOL!!!

Techniques can be copied!!

Do you DENY that another deity told you that their follower killed yours ... and blamed mine; copying symbols to FALSELY implicate me!! Of course I said that if my followers attacked you they should be more hidden ... that is a declaration of anyones need to be competent! It is not a declaration of attack!!

I ask you again, cross-dressing godling!! What PROOF do you have that mine are the cause ... it seems to me the winds are carrying YOUR name as the source of your own peoples DESTRUCTION!!

SHAME on you!!

[I'm Murrin]

You believe that a technique used by your followers, their use of which was known to none but yourself until after these murders had been comitted, could have been copied by another? That is laughable.

It is true that Illumar was not slain by one of your own. In truth, I had thought it strange for an act of yours from the first.
Do you deny that a season past your followers walked in my lands in Olaern, spreading chaos and recruiting from my people to your faith? It was those followers you said would need to be hidden more thoroughly. It is in those same parts of my land that the chaos continues to spread.

And if you should ever venture to deny that you attempted the life of Admar Tellem Meckros, then let me remind you that Hope has taken their lives, and their souls are in my care.

[Mistress Cathy]

Tempting as you are jeweled encrusted one ... I am promised to another

That actually wasn't what I had in mind. I meant that if Bhakti ends, you end. But, that is too inequal a trade. Bhakti is worth far more.

BUT, I am sure there are some riches ... or perhaps we can discuss an Alliance of other Chaos benefits, that will compensate you for the loss of your "tree hugger"! After all, what do tree huggers know about the joyous CHAOS that wealth spread abundantly can bring!!

The tree hugger also knows how to hug a goddess and his worm is so great that it is the stuff that the god of malice can only dream of.

But, riddle me this: why would the goddess of commerce want to discuss an alliance of chaos? I would much prefer to discuss an alliance of wealth, investment, and opportunity.

Tell me, what is the future value of chaos?

[Benito Alvarez]

To this end, the armies of Nor Pupae, headed by the newly-transformed Thinsilwil, will march and begin their conquest. It is to be known that the King intends for the lands to be conquered in his name, and for the gods to be destroyed in Nor Yekith's name. All life will be exterminated, or shipped back to Nor Pupae and either transformed or reduced into a more-easily digestable fluid for the womb-pits.

This was expected, but I would ask. Since your declaration is pressed upon Undine, Bhakti and I, what will your armies do to the followers of other Gods in the way of your armies? For instance, Rajas lies between the rest of my lands and citites. Are Vhadhkas people to be spared?

"From this moment on, all trade with Lord Adamorn, Bhakti and Undine's lands will cease."

The worm paused. "Finally, an alliance is offered to the Lord of Chaos and Destruction and Argothoth. Melirelle and Nor Yekith have entered into an alliance. That is all."

I have a hard time believeing that Argothoth is not ALREADY allied with you, at least in secret. Your previous comments about out stupidity points out rather well your real plan. As to Asta, I am beggining to see that perhaps he is not a scincere in his words as I had hoped.

I acknowledge your declaration Nor. Consider it returned in kind.

[Astavyastataa Kadna]

I believe that those with deific powers have ways to learn techniques built in secret. You yourself have seen that my honorable attempt to aid O-gon-cho and recover her Solus and egg resulted in the death of my follower and a loss of a FAVORED.

Clearly indicated was that another deity was involved!!

Perhaps abducting the poor Dragon Goddess' favored and egg appealed to YOU along with killing your own!! How do you keep your followers when you treat them so poorly!

DO NOT try to bring my domain into this Asta. The issue of the attacks on the other members of the Pantheon and the issue of Vaxxa are completly seperate.

I support Maeror in his suspicion that the attacks on his people were deliberate, although I have no proof as yet, should it turn out to be confirmned, they ill stop immediately.

"The ambassador of Nor Pupae and Yekithii, Yerrgh Akith, would like to make announcement." The Yekith crawled into Jove's merchant guild as it spoke. "Please distribute a message to all ports so that the pantheon becomes aware."

The worm uncoiled itself and reared to full height, extending its claws as it did so. "Nor Yekith and the King declares war on Lord Adamorn, Undine and Bhakti, their lands, people, cities and towns, churches and followers, and any construct of effect powered by divine power. To this end, the armies of Nor Pupae, headed by the newly-transformed Thinsilwil, will march and begin their conquest. It is to be known that the King intends for the lands to be conquered in his name, and for the gods to be destroyed in Nor Yekith's name.

The Yekith then left the guild.

Nor Yekith,

uh, my guild members left before the frost but I think your message got out just the same. Since no ships can enter your ports anyways due to the frozen waters, it stands to reason that trade has stopped.

[I'm Murrin]

Any who know me know what nonsense you speak. In all my time on this world, I have striven to aid and comfort my people. I have blessed them with health and longevity, I have protected them from sickness, I have pushed armies aside to avoid conflict and pain. What you accuse me of is not possible.


[Note: I was adding to my previous post while you responded.]

[Injerian Praetus II]

Ahhh, yes . . . the frost. A shame the fleet I was building was nothing more than a lure - look closely at it to see that it's made of nothing but dilapitated vessels. Hardly troop worthy. So thanks for transforming the seas into ice.

I can account for this Asta. Even during my insanity, Maeror went out of his way to avoid bloodshed with the very people, my people, slaughtering hs followers and burning his towns. He is no longer who he was, he has changed for the good.

I have said before - I will stand with Justice ... that has NOT changed. Your offer is rejected!

Actually, you miss my meaning but that is ok. With war coming, stopping trade was imminent. I could care less about your sea vessels.
