"Have you somehow missed the extremely unstable state reality appears to be in in this place? I would not recommend experimenting with an artifact you aquired from Nyars while on this mission, nor doing anything with that fuzzy area of space."

Take Paranoid Wizard Precautions^TM if we're about to do anything dangerous like head into the clouds or anything.

Xankarvo walks up to John.

"I need you to carefully break a leaf off of my plant and put it in my mouth. Normally I'd do so myself, but my arms are nonfunctional."

Procure John's help in eating one leaf of my plant.

((Now to wait and see if this works.))

What about the realm of what could not happen yet inexplicably does?

Is Creed the ruler of it?

[ruiningthejoke]that'd probably be the Warp. Your face couldn't possibly turn into a grape in the real world, but it could with Warp magic.

I'll try to find the relevant post, the guy explained it better than me.

Also pursuant to this: if the Chaos Gods are almost akin to Primordials or unshaped Raksha in Exalted terms, then there must be a way to kill them. Problem is that'd fuck everything else over.
I once saw it explained pretty well on another forum, I'll paraphrase:
The materium is the realm of what could and does happen.
The Warp is the realm of what could happen but does not, the potential for anything, and psykers work by taking in that potential and putting it into the Materium.
The Chaos Gods by virtue of their extremely broad nature and the atemporal nature of the Warp have always existed once they come into being. So the only way to kill a Chaos God is to make it have never existed in the first place. This is obviously impossible in the warp, unless you somehow make nothingness itself eternal, which would open up a new realm, the equivalent of the Underworld in Exalted: that which does not and could not happen, ie completely impossible eldritch bullshit that would likely kill the Warp itself and end the universe.

It's better to think of Chaos Gods as spectrums rather than beings. Khorne is all of the 'anger' spectrum, and thus Khaine to some extent is Khorne, but not really. He's part of the spectrum of Khorne, but because he has his own individual story, he has his own identity and goals separate from that of Khorne. Same with the others, I'd imagine.

Oh, I'll explicitly reserve a spot if I could then. I'll be at work today so I won't have much time to build a character, but the inherent frustration and contempt I accrue from being there should help me come up with something.

"Ah. Well, shit. There goes that plan.
...
Are there any religious places nearby? Preferably with statues or somesuch?"

I've been working on a fantasy oriented ER inspired fan game. PM me if you are interested. No experience in saving the universe necessary to apply.

An opportunity to further spread the Xan strain? I am piqued.
