[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6004509, member: 6669384"] In our campaign there was a PC who died, came back on "Borrowed time" (The gates to the land of the dead were closed, long story), died again, was chased by the Celtic Wild Hunt as a way of telling a foreign land that there was an afterlife, got turned into one of the hounds of the hunt (spent a year and a half in that form), got restored to life, and then sent in to deal with an invasion from the Abyss. After this was all done, that PC (plus a few others directly involved) found themselves possessed of a powerful urge to go out to the edge of the moors at moonrise. Vandos, the Celtic deity and master of the Wild Hunt was there with his huntsmen and the Sluagh (hounds of the hunt). He described what had happened as follows: They gifted him with a fine horse (Heavy warhorse with max hit points, an extra step of speed and good quality tack and saddle). It brought up the very non-egalitarian point that deities don't apologize to mortals, ever, no matter what they do to them. Do the gods in your games ever deal with mortals in this way? Just drag them in, turn their lives upside down, then figure that "You are none the worse for it" if they manage to survive? Do they ever owe the mortals anything in return, when it's all over? Do they ever apologize? [/QUOTE]
