[GG] A game of Gods IC (Introduction)

[Leopold]

IC: "Civility is completely dependent on whose home your in is it not?" He grabs another fistful of fruits and chomps on them for a bit and spits out the pits. He grabs a pitcher and begins drinking directly from it ignoring the glass. He looks at the human cocking his head. "Have you seen my new friend? He seems to be not all himself today." he raises up the sallowed head with a smile. "Perhaps you too would like to be one of my 'new' friends?"

 

[Janos Audron]

Drakon smiles a cold and confident smile.

"No manners *and* no brains. A far too common combination under non humanoids there days, I'm afraid... I think we're gonna have a 'fun' time together, don't you agree?"

 

[Timothy]

Keep it coming guys, this is FUN!

 

[Leopold]

IC: "Fun? of course! Brains ye say? I have brains enough for both of us."

With one hand he hefts his axe and slices off the top of the decapitated head. The skull cap flies off and starts spinning on the ground. He reaches in and hefts out the meaty pink and grey mass.

"As ye see human. The only way to know your enemey is to consume your enemy and let the power soak into your body through their minds. The illithids have had this belief for countless millenia, why should they not be the only who gains power through knowledge."

With that he takes the mass and hefts it into his maw and consumes it with two mighty bites and closes his eyes. His eyes flutter as he licks his lips after a moment or two.

"This one had two young sons and was raised as a sheep herder till he enlisted in the military. His last thoughts were of his family as I tore his head from his shoulders with my bare hand. Come ye manflesh, sit down, tell me a tale, explain why you are here and what you think this place is, enterain me as befit a warrior of my status should be."

He tosses the empty skull into the corner and dull thud echoes the hall.

 

[Janos Audron]

Drakon sighs. "That is so pre-Netheril. I didn't even know those customs were used anymore."

"Clearly, you have shown your crude manners and outdated ideas, but you must be here for a reason, so do you also have a useful side?"

 

[Leopold]

IC: "Crude, mayhap, but such is the way of my" he chuckles here "people. Take the power of the fallen and use it against them and those that follow them. I have increased the holdings of my people by 10 fold since my appointment to chief. But all that doesn't matter to ye too much does it? You care not for past deeds and strength but want to cut to the heart of the matter."

He stands at this pont and hefts his axe: "My power is in my axe, my strength lies here and here." he taps the horns on his head with the tip of one his taloned hands scaling down toward his skull. "Knowledge is power, and the knowledge of war, battle, and strife are what i know and trust. I care not one whim for anything else for without this." he hefts the axe. "And this" he taps his skull "There is no purpose in life but to be fodder for pink fleshed creatures such as yourself. My name be Tzzarch and that is a name you either know and fear or will soon!" With that he hefts his axe and splits the chair next to him in half. The shattered bits spray across the ground and he sits back into his chair and listens to it creak and groan with his weight. He reaches forward and poors himself a glass of wine and takes a sip of it gently.

"Now you know some of me, do ye have use to me or are ye just a servant boy here to fetch me more meat for this spread is lacking much in the realm of flesh?"

 

[Timothy]

As Tzzarch splits the chair in two, it forms up again as soon as the pieces touch the ground.

The voices can be heard again: THERE WILL BE NO VIOLENCE!!!

 

[Janos Audron]

"Quite the show, I must admit" Drakon says, and he smiles, genuinly amused. "And I must congratulate you how skillfully you have slain this chair! 'Tis truely fearsome!" And his smile changes into one a bit more arrogant.

"Well, in a way, I am an errand boy. I bring a message from my God to the common people, and sometimes, I bring 'flesh' to my God..."

"But most of the time, I just tinker a bit with magic, or brew an occasional potion..."

"And, Tzzarch," he says a bit tired "untill you show me some *real* skill, the only thing I'm gonna fear is that I'm forced to waste a restraining spell on you because you keep smashing random objects."

 

[Leopold]

IC: He looks around looking for the sound of the voice and snorts. No violence indeed, how was one to test the metal of one without engaging in some sort of display of prowess. "Mayhap i must use the brains my mother bestowed upon me?" he mused.

turning to the soft fleshy creature:

"Eh an errand boy sent to serve me? Interesting. I wonder what i have done to please them assss of late? Brewer or potions of arcane worth? Dabble in magic ye say? Bah i hope whatever brought me here has someone with competene and not a half-wit to make clothes fly in the air and balls dance before mine eyes. Impress me with magic mage, my shamans with my people could destroy caravans and squads of troops with fire and earth. can you do this? Can you summon forces to destroy mine enemies and bind them to your will or are you a simple charlaton that can do sleight of hand and nothing more?"

 

[Janos Audron]

"The easiest way for me to show the effect of my magic would be to kill you, however I do not like the thought of what 'they' would do to me...I guess you will have untill such time that I am allowed to use my powers"

"Another thing you might want to remember: I am too modest a wizard to reveal the full extend of my abilities."
