[QUOTE="BSF, post: 2506684, member: 13098"] It takes a few minutes for Evelyn to end her tirade and she almost leaves the council. But guiding woprds from Belmay soothe her enough to give Lune the opportunity to better explain himself. "Certainly I do not intend to interfere with Free Will. By and large, we will allow the Mortals to act as they desire. I am simply suggesting that we assign a small group to seek out the plans of the Lord of Deception and disrupt them whenever possible. As well, we will task them with trying to find a way to destroy that damned Hammer. It won't hurt if Mortals learn of their existance and find it comforting, but providing Hope is a secondary benefit." Lune sighs before continuing. "Look, if it helps you feel any better, we will keep them mostly seperate from Mortals. As it is, it serves our interests if others have difficulty tracking these agents directly to any of us. It would be best if they appear to be renegades. That further underscores our apparent inability to fight effectively and it will make it more difficult to for the Lord of Deception to discern our intent." The conversation carries on for hours with various ideas being discussed, but the basic plan holds. The gods will enact a ruse of their own while they try to unravel the plans of the Lord of Deception. A small group of agents will be gathered to act on the Prime Material plane. These agents will try to discover and disrupt the plans of the Lord of Deception in regards to the Mortals. Above all, these agents must not interfere with Free Will, they can interact with mortals, but they are not to rule mortals. As a concession to Evelyn's concerns, the agents will not live on the Material plane. To address Lune's concerns, they will not be housed on their native planes. The transitive planes are fraught with battle and seem like a poor choice. Eventually it is suggested that this long forgotten plane might be an ideal abode. Tholnar offers the small fortress his people are making as a home; Lune grants a small measure of his power to bridge this realm to the Material; Pter sends word to Ternell, the military steward of his Fortress, that he needs a small defensive for a lengthy assignment; Belmay sends for Sages and Researchers to begin populating a library that the Agents will have access to; Other gods offer contributions as well. For each it is a small offering, but combined they make for extensive preparations. Finally, the composition of the agents is discussed. Belmay summarizes. "These agents should be volunteers so they do not resent their task. Each should be reasonably self-sufficient, but not overly powerful. If any of our more powerful servants suddenly disappears, the forces of Hell will want to know why. These agents shall be cleaved from us and given a great deal of autonomy. Please make your choices carefully." Before the gods return to their hosts to seek volunteers, Lune has one more thing to say. "Remember my friends, these agents will be put in a position much closer to Mortals. They will be endangered, not only by the Hammer, but by all the temptations and pitfalls that exist. It is not unknown for even the best trusted Angels to fall. We are giving them a heavy burden and they too may ultimately fall. If we all choose well, we may not have to suffer such a loss." [/QUOTE]
