Aye, I got that eventually, so I edited my post

[Angle]

Also remember, Moark's name keeps changing. It's been Morak, Morka, Mokar, Marko, etc. Fale is obviously trying to con us. I say we stall for a while and try to pump him for any useful information, and keep listening for that voice. It said he could not keep us from it forever. That suggests it'll show up on it's own. If that fails, we can try and contact it directly, I guess?

[Andres]

Refuse the offer.

[RAM]

So if Mork is talking to Fale then I guess that it must be Gork that is talking to us. So all we need to do its to avoid the shrooms...

[stabbymcstabstab]

Refuse the offer.

I agree

[Dustan Hache]

Pretend to accept the offer, but do not let yourself be taken control of. Probe for information where possible and if worst comes to worst, try not to die.

"I just cannot accept a deity that I know so little of, you haven't even been consistent with its name."

[Descan]

Nah, we shouldn't just say we know he's been inconsistent, but we should use the other names he's used.

Bonus points if we go "So tell me about Morak!" "Well, Moark is (x)" "Aaahh, so why should I follow Murky?" and so forth. Mocking him and teasing him. :V

[syvarris]

Definitely refuse the offer, but make it seem like we still consider it a 'maybe later' option.  Also, don't say any variant of M's name--I've got a feeling this god's relatively easy to invoke.

Veto.  I bet this 'accepting M's help' is what caused so many Necromancers in the past to go on conquering sprees.  If so many have been overpowered before, it's unwise to think we're the one who'll resist it.  I don't think just pretending to accept would let the god take us over, but there's no reason to risk it.  I do think we should act like we consider it an option, so that they don't decide we're a lost cause, but we shouldn't accept the control either.  We should just string them along and try to get more out of this relationship than we give.

"I just cannot accept a deity that I know so little of, you haven't even been consistent with its name."

+1.  Questions without question marks are always good in situations like this.

Nah, we shouldn't just say we know he's been inconsistent, but we should use the other names he's used.

Let's not taunt an avatar of the death god, even if it does leave itself so open to mocking.

Nah, it's Mindy speaking to us.

+1. Perhaps outright taunting isn't the way to go, but we definitely need to call him out on this one. If he's trying to pull one over on us he's not doing a very good job of it. Or maybe he's avoiding saying Mothra's actual name for whatever reason.

[ydeve]

It would be good to know who it is that's giving those invisible hints. Another Necromancy god or something else? We definitely need someone else's help to restore Omo's soul.

+1 Don't join M.
But this is a great opportunity to get more information about Necromancy gods. I highly doubt M is the only one. Remember the Golgothans worshiped a god with a different name. If we first ask how we'd contact Fale's god (and what we should expect) and then ask about other necromancy gods (we can even bring up the golgothan one. I have to archive dive first to find his name) we might have an idea of how to contact them. Maybe we'd be able to find help for Omo from someone less bloodthirsty.

(There has to be a less bloodthirsty Necromancy god. The Golgothans existed in coexistence with everyone else for a while before the war, and necromancy is inherently ethically neutral)

By the way, it seems we now have an idea what Fale does with the souls he harvests. He said they can be transplanted to other constructs and controlled to create more useful servants.

[Parisbre56]

Yeah, good idea. Say something like "Suppose I joined your god. And I'm not saying I will. But suppose I did. How would that happen? Would I need to do a ritual or a sacrifice or something? And how exactly would I contact him for advice? What kind of benefits does joining you provide beyond 'knowing more necromancy and having divine help'?" That way we can learn more about any potential weaknesses this bond might have.

[RAM]

And if you rely upon your god for everything, don't your own skills wear down with time? Speaking of, it seems that you would be lonely here, with so few necromancers in the world... What would it mean if I had found evidence that Balkoth's power were still entering the world...

[Descan]

Off the cuff, but what if M is a parasite deity that's taken the place of the real Necromancy god, twisting necromancy into something evil, and it's the real god who's trying to contact us with those invisible text messages?

Ah, but what if the mysterious voice is the evil psychotic Necromancy god(Or nightroar) and M is an all around nice guy that loves undead puppies and kittens?
