"Hmph," he snorted, glancing disdainfully at the priest, "Not the first time I've enraged a deity, is it?"

Her words of Inn'ahar seeking revenge disturbed him; the great shadows he spoke of, his parents, probably counted as his worshipers, and he certainly did not relish the thought of them descending on him. Then again, his angry pride was sparking again- if they wanted to infest his soul with that thing and then act offended when he removed it, then they could add his contempt to their list of grievances.

Well, no matter. Supposedly his worship was forbidden, which meant his followers should be rare. And if not, well, he still owed Inn'ahar a good smack on the nose for his insolence. Humility was not one of Raikonai's faults.


"Still," he said, turning fully to the priest. "Where is this place? Now that my intellect is free of that thing, I'd rather like to focus on something other than getting it free. Or at least, what I'll be focusing on once I'm a bit further away. The distance a hatchling can flee in leisure is not a distance I feel comfortable remaining at."

"Thi-Th-... I cannot believe you just did that-This place is the village Midah, near the lake of Palantur. It is on the south side of the Bigranties Jutt mountain range, in the center of the kingdom of Iberia. We are just north-west of the city of Avertie."

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

I'm just waiting for Dwarmin to roll a one and realize that she's got two oversized tumors on her chest :P

Tumors. It's rather early in the morning for me.

I even managed to type rumors again.

Anyway, those aren't tumors. They're breasts. The reason Dwarmin's dragon doesn't know what they are is because dragons do not have breasts.

And I won't ever make those breasts tumors because that would just be plain mean to girls and also just plain mean to Dwarmin.

And that whole thing rested on the fact that you didn't state anything explicitly. Oh well.

"Mmhmm. Tell me of this city. And Iberia. Also, what is 'north-west?' My education has been... lacking."


((Also, I believe tumors are normally rigid.))

"The city is, well, fairly average for a city as far as I know. You'd have to stay there long enough to get more detail. Iberia is a kingdom which was part of a larger kingdom. Honestly, you need to be more specific."

The priest then looks at you, and wonders if you're joking when you're asking about what is north-west. Then he sees you're serious.

"...I'm afraid I lack the tools to explain the concept to you in a reasonable amount of time, because I am not really a teacher. Now, if Annia wasn't so angry at you, you may have been able to convince her to give you knowledge right off the bat, but you angered her and... Anyway, if you're really struggling with north-west, look for Agnet the Elder, he's a 'scientist' and is very intelligent and a decent teacher."

"Sounds wise. Thank you for your assistance, mortal."

Find this Agnet the Elder. Inquire about geography, politics, and other tools necessary for escaping in a graceful manner.

Pace carefully and slowly into the temple, looking around as to absorb as much information as possible, such as what this gods name is. If I find out the name, and he/she is not an evil god: Attempt to find the altar, and when I do kneel before it, praying:

"Great [INSERT GOD'S NAME HERE], I ask of you to aid me with your divine providence, so that I may find the power and the will to find and kill the men who murdered my father."

Repenting his actions, Kin took off again and flew over to the group of farmers, circling in the air. He did remember that one of the farmers did give him a furious glare but as he circled the group of farmers he couldn't see that particular farmer. All he saw was a panicked bunch running around like headless chickens. Kin flew back to the old man asking him to point out the farmer he had slighted.

"I am ashamed to say that I've not come across many humans so I have a hard time to remember your faces. I hope you could help me point out the owner of the cow."


If the old man agree to help Kin, Kin flies off towards the farmer and apologize. Then he will return to the old man.
If not, Kin tries to apologize without the old mans help and then return home.



Also, sorry for the late reply, been sick for a few days and didn't have the strength to write a proper action.

No problem, I'm not having much luck making the turn either. I'm missing the want to do certain actions for some reason.

Still, with 3 days until the turn deadline, it'll get done eventually.

Edit: Ah f*ck, I cannot believe it... I actually overwrote the god list text file with the half-made turn. So much effort, all wasted, son of a bitch.

I think I'll be spending most of my want to write on rebuilding the list. Ergh.

So I'm back to not being a part of this hmm? Great. :( (/sarcasm) PM me when there's actually a spot for sure next time so I'm not getting my hopes up.

There's a spot opening, I'm resigning my position. Twenty-three days is far too long to be out of touch, didn't really realize that until I actually looked at all of what's happening. You however appear to have been watching the thread avidly, putting you a great deal farther ahead than I in how much you deserve this.

I'm sorry Haika, had I realized the full depth and breadth of how far behind I was or I would have told Tarran to NPC me earlier and let you in. As it was I enjoyed the game greatly and had hoped that I could pick it back up again, but it's a touch too late for that now. I may submit a character sheet later, but for now I need to work on straightening things out after my sudden existence failure.

Tarran, yeah... Sorry for keeping you hanging man, believe me I would have done otherwise if I could. However I do recall that my internet committed Hara-Kiri sometime before Christmas, and so if I had stepped out when I disappeared Haika would be in line for his/her Christmas bonuses. Considering that I would ask that he/she get a second chance at those as it was in no way their fault that they missed out on them.

Kill me, turn me into a random event, turn me into the God of sewer rodents, I don't really care. Just get me out of the way so the people who've been waiting for this can step up. It was a good run.
