Kevin's Watch

does anyone remember how the ritual of desecration goes?

How's that for dumb-luck!

Potere has been dispatched to deal with astuzia. if he can be found alive amid the wreckage he will be placed under watch and punished. justice is served in this.

on the subject of the demon horde, i believe my place is on the battle field. these vile creatures do not belong on this earthly realm and while my remit is fairness i must fight for this equalibrium. although, with my numbers diminished by the priest, astuzia's, actions i may be sending all my followers to thier deaths. my part in this turn of events maybe dictates that the heaviest burden must fall upon me my bretheren.

Ordine Naturale

Oooh my darling God-boyz!

Fear not, for Ma Nature has been briefed and I am quite willing to commit much planetary energy to sealing the rift. A few well placed bolts of lightning, a minor and localised volcanic eruption should do nicely, don't you think?

If Ordine Naturale can keep the silly demons occupied with a nice battlefront, I'll seal their escape route & you other boys can flank them! Ohh, I love a bit of carnage!

kissy kiss!
Elaura

Is it any wonder I proposed to this Goddess?!? DAMN she's hot!!!

Alas, poor thing is out of her pretty little mind. What woman would turn down the God of Love??

Bhakti love, it was not an outright rejection. You know, you did rush me a little, and a girl likes to be woo'd a little more....

Oh, and Xar - WOULD you be a darling and change the spelling of Ryddi's name on the first page to "RYDNICK"?

huggles!

PS, here's mah boy...isn't he adorable?


Ryddi!!

In concert with the Deities who have agreed to band together to face this terrible threat, I devote my efforts to sealing the rift for the good of all.

Others of our number focus on the physical threat, by attacking the demon horde, and to drive them from this plane of existance.

At the same time, my followers, salvaging what they can from the ruins of the Nothern Kingdom, evacuate for more hospitable locations.

While we act in unity, we shall prevail for the good of all.

--Avatar

I will send soldiers to meet the demon threat as well. War shall be met.

WAR MY FRIENDS !!!

I'll send half of my army against the daemons at the side of Amplarx and Odine Naturale worshipers, at least those who have changed their minds to make a crusade against me.

I will in the same time keep attention on my city, I cannot be sure that all Amplarx followers change their minds.

War my friends! We will fight against those daemons, we will defeat them!
It will be a glorious victory !!!
Stay together, my friends, fight as one army and We shall be victorious !

I suspected Toringian would jump at the chance to fight somebody! He does Love War!

Yet so many battles are caused by Love and/or Hate. The irony is striking.

Those driven to conflict by emotion will surely fail.

Fellow gods,

I am concerned. When this extreme, immediate crisis is resolved, I think we need to discuss ways of keeping our followers from harming others. (That is, those of us who do not revel in such things.) Too much damage to all of us is being caused. This, from my last round:

Xar wrote:A strange group of self-styled followers of Movahl in Ai-Bhakti seems to have something to do with a string of disappearances among your followers.

One of your followers has forsaken you for unknown reason, has turned to worshiping Nephirthos and is actively trying to find a way to destroy you.

Regarding the first, Movahl and I are on good terms. I do not suspect he is behind this. We are all aware that people can claim to be followers of anyone, then go out and act against that divinity's teachings.

The second is certainly the more serious. This could lead to something on par with the fracture in reality we now face! I do not yet know if any shortcoming or failure on my part has lead to this follower's actions, if Nephirthos is behind it (Though few would expect Malice and Love to be friends, Nephirthos and I have had no dealings, good or bad, so I am not assuming this is the answer.), or if an unknown force is at work. And, because of the fracture, I cannot find out this round. I see no option but to put my DRP into the attempt to seal the rift. Using it in the attempt to solve these other problems would be a waste of time if the fracture widens, engulfing the world, or if we are all overrun with millions of demons.

But if we survive this, we must talk. I hope we can figure out ways to know what is what.

Dear brother, my sources suggest that these "followers" of mine aren't even human.

If you have know objection, my divine presence will flow through Ai-Bhakti and drive out the foul creatures.

Those of my followers who have training in the arts of war will do what they can to stem the tide of demons pouring into our world, but I fear that the rise of these abominations in the city of the Lord of Love is closely related.

Therefore, I will deal with this seemingly small threat now, lest it swell to consume as all whilst we are otherwise occupied mending the tear in the fabric of reality.

As for the Lady of Madness, know sister, for that is what you now are, that whilst my love for you will never die, I will not allow you to run unrestrained, a blight on this world.

I will watch you in all that you do, Mad Queen. When you rave in boundlessness I will seek to contain you. When you strike out of insanity I will hasten to block you. When you twist the lives of others to resemble your own agony I will move to thwart you.

Thus will the memory of who you once were be honoured, and thus will the world be spared your rage.

Remember this: a goddess you may now be, but once you were but a mortal, and not only a mortal, but my chosen prophetess. I was your lord and god, and that bond will never be fully broken.

Turn 5 is over; the deadline for turn 6 is tuesday, 12 am GMT.

EDIT: I've added a very sketchy map of the world, listing all your cities and, ahem, important locations. It's just after the descriptions of the deities.

These are Nephirthos' followers, are they not? Geographically, that's where he is, that's who drove Avatar out, and that's who is attacking me. Yes? I just want to make sure I have my facts straight. Chaos is difficult to get a handle on.

No, they're not Nephirthos's followers, the kingdom doesn't span the whole north But they are those who drove Avatar out, and those who attack you.

Ah. My thanks for the clarification!!! Extremely good to know!

Elauradaneth, I require some aid. I am currently making efforts to end the disastrous activity around the site my follower has destroyed, however I feel my own healing may not be enough. If you would agree to use your powers over nature to help make this area safe to enter once more, you would have my gratitude.

Alas, we must still deal with the demon-spewing fracture! How fares L’im Verthackas?? It was the target of the demons, was it not? Is it still their target?

AND WHO IS EXPENDING SUCH EFFORT TO KEEP THE RIFT OPEN!!!! Someone is severely testing the limits of my ability to Love all things!!!

And what do we do about this new Alien Rift? I Love a rift as much as the next guy, but enough's enough! Can a spell be devised to strengthen the fabric of reality in general, so that yet more cannot be created?


AND (*sigh* There seems no end to the "and"s) what about this god-devouring creature??? Is it beyond our abilities? Should we put that on the back burner? And is it Worm-shaped???

AND... Is there any chance Morgath wants to change his followers' ways, and start concentrating on flower gardens?

AND... Ah, enough for the moment.

Hmm... Now that I know this, I realize I have no idea of the size of the attacking army. Can this be known?
