Why? He's a god of war. Pain distracts your followers. You don't want your soldiers distracted by ANYTHING.

I imagine Kotschtchies healing hurts, mainly because he's a prick.

He's also the god of Destruction and Domination. In causing pain in healing, those who are healed are more likely to avoid injury, or at least avoid being treated (Therefore requiring less resources), than the others. In addition, it shows them that if this is what He does to heal his followers, what would He do if they abandoned him?

Yeah, but a sharp pain can also re-focus your thoughts, especially if you get distracted. It can also make you angry, and hateful. It could also be that Osirio-a "heathen" who actively worships a LN Death Goddess-might get more pain from it than another person, since he's not a soldier in Hextors Howling Commandos. Gods prolly care even less about mercenaries than any other army would.

I mean, Kos and Hex don't heal from empathy, or perhaps are even cognizant of the fact you are hurt. They heal the body to keep it moving, but what do they care about suffering? In their minds, you prolly deserve it for being weak enough to be injured in the first place...

I vote we throw the kobold into the lava.

And feed the Fire God? More Pyres for the Fire Throne? They were chanting around it, remember. :P

We might wake something quite narsty up...unless it's awake already.

And while it rises, triumphant, from the lava, we sucker punch it in the head with Ava's comedically oversized hammer.

I need a Glove of the Master Strategist so I can pull a giant hammer from nowhere.

Oh, and I should add nothing is canon about Nerjins char unless he WANTS it to be canon.

Obviously, a Gods powers would be heavily influenced by the worshiper who invokes him.

If a Fire Demon rises, let Osi talk to it first. I can use Ignan at least once...!

It's Ramona Flowers pulling out a comically oversized hammer from her bag.

I like it, to be honest. I feel like things just work better if everyone gets into it.

After all, Dwarmin was the one who got me into this sort of thing.

Yes, me too. I am a bit of a novice at it though.

Seconded.

Yes... me and Ari are not sure about this.

Well, the teams need to collate a bit, with Culpa here.

Ari and Ethra heard the draconic chanting about the "blood-mother", but Culpa's the only one with ranks in Knowledge:religion.

If we're going to anything aside from fleeing the room at high speed, we should try to figure what they were praying to.

First we have to destroy that one annoying Kobold though. Here's where I wished we had marching orders in place.
