Well, not very many cryptic hints, per se... but what about a cryptic excerpt from a couple of the processed turn? Just so as to whet your appetites...
The Chronicles of Bhakti wrote: "Muster your strength, Prophet of Bhakti, and prepare yourself. This is not the end of it - it is barely the beginning." And in the sky, pinpoints of white-hot darkness slowly appear...
The Chronicles of Jove wrote: In the end Ismund is undaunted, and he steps forward, accompanied by his chosen guard and a retinue of Tempestes.
"Begone, Spirit!" He cries commandingly, "You do not belong here. Begone, before the power of my Mistress tears you apart!"
The entity laughs again. "Such brave words, Prophet... Show me your Mistress's power, then!"
And finally...The Chronicles of Argothoth wrote: Holding Valkoren in its hand, the creature looks at him with gelid green slits, and laughs again. "This is the best your Master can send? Then he is DOOMED, no matter how many armies he gathers. Not all the dead of Eiran will stay my Master's hand!"
The Chronicles of O-gon-cho wrote: Suddenly, the air itself fills with menace and rage, to the point that you cringe in new pain at its violation. "I HAVE GROWN STRONG... BUT I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RETURN. YOU HAVE BROUGHT BACK TERROR IN THIS WORLD, GODLING... DESPAIR, WHILE YOU STILL LIVE!"

wow. glad i didn't try to fight Chastus!

At least I survived the journey, and apparently my tactic worked. But all I wanted to do was explore and find out where the power Chastus was stealing was going. Looks like I'll find that out in droves...The AllFather wrote: And finally...

Sister Mithyaat Vam, the whole point was that I didn't fight or resist him either!!

And as always, the writing is awesome AllFather!!!

Bah! I will rend this usurper! I bet that is what my chronicles say!!

Do we all have chronicles? Mine will be confusing as hell, given the sphere changes....

No kidding. In all honesty, I have no idea what your domains are at the moment. I'll have to go check the Game thread.Lord Adomorn wrote:Do we all have chronicles? Mine will be confusing as hell, given the sphere changes....

Eh, just made a connection between wherever Nephirthos was trapped and Eiran, so he could hop back over and begin spreading his evil again. No biggie.O-gon-cho wrote:What have I done???

Er... Simjen, remember what you were gonna do to the Beast - new target!!

Sounds like your threat was taken really seriously.
But thanks for submitting it anyway

It doesn't make sense. All my research showed that Chastus sent out preventative measures against a deity doing precisely what I did by making the deity being drained believe they would be "forever lost" if they were completely drained of power. If I made a wanted connection, why would deities have been discouraged from doing so?
*sigh*
No matter...I guess I'll find out some answers soon enough.

Honor, Protection and Strength. As long as this holds up against Xar's sick penchant for forcing my followers into various wars and crusades, this'll be my only domains for awhile.

I had hoped Xar was so excited about causing such damage that results would be out when I woke up just now. *sigh*
Still, gotta be soon, eh? There's an ocean between us, but I swear I heard him giggling yesterday.

Oh, it will be soon, don't fear... another Prophet bit the dust this morning, so that makes at least three Prophets and two or three important worshipers thus far... and I'm not done yet!Fist and Faith wrote:I had hoped Xar was so excited about causing such damage that results would be out when I woke up just now. *sigh*

I'm geting anxious. How many gods' moves left to go?
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 1:09 pm
Not many, not many... the main delay is because I'm writing short pieces of fiction for everyone who is touched by the main event of the turn... especially about the deaths I've talked about. Another example:Murrin wrote:I'm geting anxious. How many gods' moves left to go?
The Chronicles of Adomorn wrote: Jameak and Lirania look at each other's eyes; no words are wasted. Deep in their hearts, they know this to be a time of crisis, and they stand firm and resolute. "It is you who shall flee, nether-fiend!", Jameak shouts, "Lest our blades partake of your unholy fire!"
"Your place is back in the hells you came from!" Echoes Lirania. "Go back, unless you hunger for oblivion!"
The creature laughs again. "Such arrogance... from CHILDREN!"

*turning a forlorned, appealing face towards the AllFather*
Is there any hope at all that this "main event" you're referring to isn't what I suspected even before I submitted my moves? Although I had no idea just how devastating such an event would even possibly be right away?
