Jo'Karr didn't drop a million man army on him, Jochannan did. Get it? The God Jo'Karr, my character, didn't will those people into existence, or command them to attack, I, Jochannan, wrote it that the followers of Jo'Karr rose up of their own volition. Theres a difference. Its the difference between U-Do saying something and the character Albedo saying something. You control both, but the two are not the same characters. In the absence of a DM, we are all DM's to an extent. We all can say this happens or that happens, even if our characters aren't directly involved, or even involved at all. I could say: 'the weather on the third planet is sunny and bright and there are children playing on a hill.' But its not Jo'Karr making it sunny and bright or making the children play there, its me, Jochannan, writing that little bit of story even if Jo'Karr is deep in meditation on the plane of the Undead, completely removed from the third planet and its inhabitants. Get it? Now, I like that Albedo, the character, can't get the difference, that he thinks that anyone who favors Jo'Karr must be Jo'Karr's little puppet, but the fact that so and so invented whatever on whatever planet because he had an enlightening experience is really that person inventing it, just me writing it that way. And as to sensing Albedo, he had just teleported into my domain and started yelling at my servants, even if I couldn't sense him per se, my character had sufficient connection to his home and his angels to know what was going on. And the angels ARE mortals, just really powerful ones who are loyal to their creator.  If he's vulnerable to mortals, he's vulnerable to them.  Get it? And he may be strong against gods, but you still can't say he just breaks free if he wants to. Now, I do like how you had his spirit get loose, that made sense and added depth to the character, nice touch. Now, if you want to continue to have Albedo wreck havoc with me, thats your choice, and if you want him to still believe in the little 'divine conspiracy of Jo'Karr's interferance', go ahead, but make sure YOU understand the difference between Jo'Karr and Jochannan. Man am I tired of writing in the third person!</p></blockquote><p></p>
