Pantheon 2.0 - Game Thread

[Argothoth]

These are ominous words, Argothoth. While I have enjoyed a considerable yield in my dealings with you, I hope your actions do not impede our future gains.

If your action will not encumber my interests, i think that we could have more business affairs...

[Bhakti]

Indeed, Odal, well said.

[Injerian Praetus II]

Therefore, here are the terms of Law:

1) That Nor Yekith swears an Oath to the AllFather that the mutagens he poured into the oceans were not meant as an attack of any sort upon the realm or interests of any other god

On the Oath of the Allfather, this is correct.

2) That Nor Yekith offers an apology to Undine, along with assurance this will not happen again

My apologies, Undine. It will not happen again.

3) That the pouring of mutagens into the sea, be it through direct or indirect means - including the pouring of mutagens in rivers and lakes which later empty into the sea - cease immediately and verifiably, and does not resume afterwards

On the Oath of the Allfather, I will cease pouring mutagens into the sea, nor will it happen again.

4) That reparations be offered by Nor Yekith to Undine, according to terms the two gods will mutually discuss, under the supervision of the God of Justice and the Goddess of Law, and that both Nor Yekith and Undine agree upon.

I am willing to discuss reparations that we can both agree upon.

[Injerian Praetus II]

I would also wish to retract my threats towards Bhakti and Jove, that is the comments made regarding their son.

Sister Jove...

I do not question the intent of your words, as I too feel anxiety at these words of the L-rd of Undeath. But, I have not had any dealings with him, so am unable to judge him fully.

That said, I must express surprise and sorrow that I have seen no comments from you on the implied threats to Zephyr from Nor Yekith, nor any concern stated on your part of this apparent very strong alliance teaming up to attempt to force your husband to sacrifice himself. I admit I am proud of the stance Bhakti has taken, and I am sure you feel these threats are not even worth commenting on.

But, while it is your nature to talk of wealth, it just strikes me as strange you would comment on future gains, and make no comment regarding the threats towards your husband or son..

Because, dear O-gon-cho, I know they are just threats and I learned long ago to stay out of the battle between Bhakti and Nor Yekith.

But I will go further and explain it to you: Nor Yekith could not possibly know where Zephyr is and therefore, I see no reason to comment on empty words from a bully. I also saw no need to repeat what my husband has so aptly expressed regarding our son for I could not convey it better than he already has.

As for the threats toward my husband, if you would but peruse the thread, you will notice that I have indeed commented on the threats towards my husband. But again, I have heard all these threats before and do not find it necessary to acknowledge every single comment from the mutated ogre to the west. I will not give him power over me by allowing my distress to show so openly.

I will let Bhakti handle Nor Yekith for he is indeed exceedingly capable of such and needs no help from me.

While I appreciate your concern, O-gon-cho, I would more appreciate your silence on matters that do not concern you. This is none of your business and you would be wise to keep it that way.

Not to say you won't "transform the world," eh? Not to say that, since I will not be sacrificing myself to you, you won't "ravage every forest on the planet, spread plagues that will devastate all life, cripple and main [my] people, turn the earth into a blasted ruin, spread cancers into all life."

[Benito Alvarez]

There is one thing that is bothering me about Nor's "Oaths." He has been preaching and shouting about out stupidity and weakness against whatever he throws against us.

Most of the Pantheon have taken such things as boasts, but should it come to be true that he DOES have an unbeatable plan, would he honestly care about some sort of "punishment" for breaking the Oath? Anything short of destroying himself would be an accepotable loss, assuming that he really does destory any future enemies.

With no one left to fight him, what does he care if he reverts to a less powerfull form? He'll have all the time in the world to regain his power, and indeed, build it to new heights.

I would like to announce, to Hedra Iren particularly, that in the my eyes these "Oaths" are just a ploy, and in the end, it doesnt matter if he was "bound" by them, and "punished" for breaking them. I am laying my plans now, and unless there is powerfull reason to turn them aside, I will attack and fight against Nor this upcoming season. With OR without the backing of Law. I do not care for the cost to myself, as long as Nor is destroyed along with me, my death is an acceptable loss.

In the case of my death, I leave Lirania, my prophet, with orders of where to exchange the beliefs of my peoples. To the God(dess), I ask that you cradle them gently. They will be fragile and angry.

[Bhakti]

Yes, Adomorn, you are quite right. Yek has made his intentions of world domination/Mutation/murder quite clear. His oaths and apologies are only about specific offenses that he has promised or already committed. So now, according to the Law, he has committed no crimes, and none can act against him without suffering consequences. We must wait until he actually destroys the world before we can move against him.

[Benito Alvarez]

Which is why I have decided to act of my own free will. I stated at the begining of our lives that if it came down to it, my hands will not be tied by the stagnation of Law.

If it has come to a point that someone who is making all the moves and all the actions and all the threats of destroying me and my peoples and are STILL not held accountable, it is a clear sign that the "Law" has become meaningless.

[Vadhaka]

Bravely said God of Justice. Bravely and boldly. No wonder it is told that practitioners of fatal arts are easy to trust. *bows*

Personally, I prefer the dagger in the dark.

Have fun.

*bows smiling and disappears*

At the least, this will be interesting and the stuff of legends.

[Vadhaka]

Yeeeessssss....welllllll....Legends tend to be post-humous don't they?

[Benito Alvarez]

Yeeeessssss....welllllll....Legends tend to be post-humous don't they?

I've planned for that. And besides, if I'm dead, I wont need to act all humble.

[Vadhaka]

You have a sense of humour. I like that.

[Benito Alvarez]

Well the whole drawn brow and firm demeanour while riding into a death as WAY over used.

[O-gon-cho]

[Vadhaka]

The soldier sees a difference between himself and the assassin. But there is none.

[Astavyastataa Kadna]

The soldier sees a difference between himself and the assassin. But there is none.

Whether the cause is Just or Ill - both spread DESTRUCTION and CHAOS.
