I have never encountered this Udil before but seeing as how his title is God of Wrath, I doubt he is the nicest of individuals to meet.  Not to mention dwarves have not exactly treated me kindly in the past...  The death of so many deities worries me also.  We must move quickly if we are to gain the power needed to achieve our goals.
"You've never heard of Udil the Ungrateful, the Hateful, the Decietful, the Haughty, the Traitor, the Mad, Slayer of Nature, Burner of Forests, Bane of the Kind, Drakeslaughter, Giantkiller, Patricide, Deicide, Treecutter, Self-Made Bastard, Despoiler of Friendship, Coveter of All, Enslaver of Dwarves, Enemy of Peace, Wrathbeard, Bloodfists, Silverbarb, etc etc? I can't say that he--He, my mistake, He's a god now--is a good thing to have in the world, but He is and He is our greatest threat..."
Tell Traurig all I know about Udil, clouded a bit by Feros's biased point of view when teaching him and Nelkathar's own bias.
"...and worst of all, almost every god who hasn't been attacked or killed by Udil has been taken in by Him. I haven't heard of a single god alive who would lift a finger to stop Him before He attacked the god's own land..."

Yeah let's go meditate and talk to the priests. What's the worship in this town like? Are there monks we can learn unarmed combat from?
Sounds good, but I wouldn't get my hopes up about combat...

Haha, I saw that post before you modified it.  Yes it's true, I haven't actually read up anything about the creation of the spire OOC not that it matters.  IC I've only heard about it from GWG's character and he's the one going to investigate it anyway.
Edit: Perusing through old posts, I couldn't help but notice the world hammer can only be used by those with giant's blood.
Ahh, so you made the tower huh?  So do you have a problem with me using it to ascend?  I only want to use it once.
It is inactive. You will have to find another way to ascend, I am afraid.
Dang nabit. When did that happen?

Quote
@GWG: Taerai is Taricus', not Tiruin's. Tiruin is another Bay12er.
Dang nabit. When did--wait, that doesn't make sense in this context.

Hmm, I really don't want to kill anyone to ascend but I'm starting to feel desperate.
I feel the same...but I have an idea.
Probably not a good one, though.
And...
GWG, even if the spire is wrecked we might be able to invest our combined minor acts in it to get it working for at least two turns.
This is probably a better idea.

On that regard:
- It'd take more than two minor acts.
Don't we get a mA per turn? Think of intervals...Would a normal act be PA or just A?

Quote
- The Elder Gods would no doubt take offense to that.
We'll see about that...

Quote
- I do intend to keep my spire for myself as it was prior to my imprisonment at the start of this very same turn.
You'll have two Ascendants to deal with, both divineblooded, one immune to most damage, and one a freaking mountain-sized dragon. Udil was able to kill an Elder God with just a magic sword and sheer persistence. and luck

Quote
Edit: It is also a rather bad idea to ascend under the complete lack of Pantheons. That'd just make you into targets, as you then become worth 1 Mighty Act to your slayer, without any measure of protection to counter-act that.
We'd have each other. And that's a lot...we'll give it a shot! Woah, we're halfway there!

Indeed. So, I suppose the adviser would be the super-person, and then we could do...
Hm. Kadzar and I are allies, and the key is between us. Meanwhile, scap and Kad are rivals of the "Vigilante/BtB" kind, implying that they are probably on the same team as well. Scelly's likely the president, and since he doesn't like working with scapheap, he's probably the vigilante type. This explains why the Key is between me and Kad, despite scapheap being on the same "team" as us. I'm not sure how the needs work for taking over the world, though; for the sake of Fun, I suppose me and Scelly would need to be working together to take over the world. If it works like this, perhaps scapheap would be the only major official guy to realize the dark purposes behind my attempts to "borrow" the dimensional key. If not, I agree that the President should be the one to try taking over the world--it's less cliche.

Missed that.

...Don't let it fail to stop you from not firing at something other than the elephant, though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Aye.
After so much discussion, it's easier to just quote everything you agree with without being any less derivative.

But I'll try. After all, I've quoted darn near everyone, and posts on both sides of various disputes. A moderate am I.

1. Whatever we do, we need to start this month.
2. However we do it, it will involve our rodent. I can't wait until I stop feeling like we're relying on him too much...but {INOD} curse it, we need him.
3. We should avoid subterfugey techniques if possible. It makes us look bad and probably won't work as well.
4. The merchant will probably flee if he can...and with the Count's aid, he probably can.
5. Once we get the merchant, bring him to the duke.

So.

We need to head to wherever the merchant lives, unnanounced if laws and our warrant allows such, leave some men on the road and some in obvious non-road ways out of the city, enter the city, show the warrant, never let it leave our hand, and get to the "actually get ahold of the merchant" part ASAP. Then send him to the Duke, ASAP.

Catch up to the next group of adventurers with Party ESP.

Loot the ashes and the room. We're adventurers, people!

34180
Isn't Skeleton 1 in the way?

And wow, combat in close quarters is tough.

34181
Or maybe one that is man eating :P.
We will soon have more rations, come whatever outcome.

34182
Have our priestess burst into tears and fall to her knees, and thank the captain profusely. I mean, they did save our lives, didn't they? :P
Sounds like a plan. Maybe pause a moment first, as if you were faking fearlessness before you cracked, which happened just now.

34183
No, try to stretch the chains. Slowly, carefully. We have time. And remember kiddies, metal is malleable.

34184
Oh, and BTW: Look at what Udil's doing with the prisoner. He's setting Aodun free! Did I not say this would end badly?
Dammit, Ardas, why do you need to keep proving me right?

Seriously though, I am a tad bit concerned that Udil apparently cares nothing for the demise of his wife and son(s). Or at least mentions them, though I think it was mainly because we all forgot Udil had a family.
Or because Udil got what matters more to him than any person--divinity.

I'm trying to put into action a plan thar should at least slow down the genocide of pretty much everything. We are nearly being suffocated by all the corpses piling up!
Good luck.

GWG you too, you are awfully out of character. Hey that worked cool, doesn't sound one bit like a Massive Dragon...
What are you expecting? [glow=3,200]RAR GRR I'M A GIANT DRAGON WORSHIP ME OR BE EATEN[/glow] or something?
I see him as trying to emulate Grandpa, which is convenient because A. I don't need to come up with a new, complex personality to don while playing this game and B. it gives Nelkathar a motivation to do the kind of altruistic stuff you don't see anyone doing.

...
Why is it that all gods seem to think that getting past Sabt Golgo is easy?
Because they want it to be. And because no one's tried yet.

Ah, Udil is such a lovable little rascal.
That's about as accurate as saying Hitler Pol Pot was an example choirboy who once stole a cookie.

Remind me why the backstabbing Dwarf get's rewarded? I want a reason.
Because the GM likes him. And no one has wisened up to how he will backstab y'all save me and maybe some other minor guys, despite my predictions of him turning against Corvus, Az-Sho, and now Tiruin (?) have all come true. I suspect my one about Thaneos would if he hadn't died.

Our Overgods have all been on the dim side somewhat, I'm afraid.
It's not just them. Thaneos, for instance.
I suppose everyone else who's thrown in their lot with him can be excused for doing so when he hadn't even moved much against Neyravah yet.

By this time the only person who knows not to trust him is Corvus. All the other ones are dead, and I suspect I'll be following them soon.
And Nelkathar, albeit in part due to being Neyravahs' spiritual grandkid. Which sorta-kinda makes Udil his uncle...

the craving for power is not a force of nature
Oh great, two Udil's.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
Someone forge SunRa a Katana...and give him a scottish accent.
Aye, MacLeod, slay that drunken Kurgan.

Why did someone have to revive the dwarves? I wanted Udil to die from Godly Starvation!
Because everyone loves dwarves, even to the point of eventual suicide by Udil?

From a moral standpoint, converting the dwarves would be a lot more ethical than killing them just to starve Udil.
On the other hand, conversion has a higher risk of Udil sending his troops to kill all rebel dwarves and other worshipers, and then killing you, stealing your power for himself, and putting a blight on the land.

Quote
That said, from an IC perspective some new gods may not "know" about Udil's past so telling them IC could serve a purpose but I wouldn't count on it.
Aye, worth a shot...

Quote
If players really want Udil dead then eventually they will make an attempt to kill him.  If they don't and he kills them... too bad I guess?
Very bad. Udil M. Stu will continue to rampage, all the more powerful.

Quote
My guy is currently content to become a lesser god and bring about a new wave of biological evolution to make this universe a little more interesting.  Unless someone directly gets in my way of doing this, I probably won't kill.  Then again that assumes I can become a god without killing another player first... Hopefully that spire is working.
Similarly from here.

Actually, there is something stopping me. UDIL. Why do you think I haven't done that by now?
You're on the moon?

Haha, I saw that post before you modified it.  Yes it's true, I haven't actually read up anything about the creation of the spire OOC not that it matters.  IC I've only heard about it from GWG's character and he's the one going to investigate it anyway.
And Nelkathar from rumors.
OOC, I don't remember much of it either.

Edit: Perusing through old posts, I couldn't help but notice the world hammer can only be used by those with giant's blood.
...Excellent. Unless it turns out Udil's father was somehow a giant, he can't use it. *punches air* Yes! Hope!

Nelkathar, I heard no explosions but I have felt massive ripples pass through the waters.  This does not bode well for the planet's health I fear.
"Aye. That self-made bastard has no care for any life but dwarves...and perhaps not even them. Certainly not any gods. If you're not a dwarf, you're a foe or a tool--that's how I understand Udil's thinking. Now that almost every dwarf is dead, one has to wonder how he'll react...
"Oh, and yes the explosion was, in part, a result of the Traitor. It was caused when Az-Sho or someone died. He, Thaneos, and...hells above and below, who was it...I'll remember later, someone else died fighting Thaneos. Odd, he was horribly burnt and barely did more than defend himself against Az-Sho's army, but he was the only survivor...Anyways, this death of gods was what the Ecocide desired, as it gave him more power...lucky him. Now the Avatar of Wrath is a God of Wrath, which is no good sign for anyone.
"Oh, and I probably imagined this, but as I was flying away, I thought I saw a child talking with the Patricide...probably imagining it, but I can't discount much of anything as certainly being false. Oh, and I think I see some kind of serpent in the ocean far off."


((Why isn't Udil showing any sign of pain or anguish?))
