What are they doing with the solidified god flesh?  Who knows, not really important to the story right now, but you can be sure its something evil  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> .  I’ll probably come up with something later.  So, for all his careful planning the god cannot be resurrected. The group will find this out when they get to the god.  It will be obvious from the vast areas of missing deity that this god isn't coming back any time soon.  What they will find when they reach the gods head is a vast protected library filled with thousands of scrolls.  Each one contains the discreet memory of the god.  The god is Delleb, out of Complete Divine p.122. Lesser god (LG) …cares only for the accumulation of knowledge in books. Portfolio: Written lore, Study.  Domains: Good, Knowledge, Law, Magic.  When a PC opens a scroll expecting to see text, what will actually happen is the PC will experience the memory from the gods’ perspective.  Unfortunately, the creative well has been a little dry in that direction, so I need help. What I need are memories a god may have experienced.  Sights of: his clerics performing spells, planer locations only a deity has access to...  What can you come up with?</blockquote>
