[QUOTE="jkason, post: 2676150, member: 2710"] [color=darkorchid]"The yellow robes were stealing souls? From children?"[/color] Ru thinks of his younger siblings and seethes at the thought. Feuled by that anger, perhaps, and the trio's relative forthcoming way, Ru's general reserve falls away. [color=darkorchid]"The undying is all over, from what I can tell. I was on a mission when I first encountered it: slain enemies rising again and again, no matter how much damage they took. Then I witnessed two men in the street gutting each other over and over. One would fall only to rise and attack again, then it would repeat itself. Bothered me so much I even ventured to the tower of Zsath's worshippers"[/color] The memory of the trip and its frustrating results show on Ru's face as he says, [color=darkorchid]"They were ... less than cooperative. I did uncover the fact that even Zsath's priests seem to be having problems connecting to his favor. It's entirely unclear what might have happened, but the gnome I spoke with suggested that, should Zsath absent himself from Metropolis--by choice or force--people would find their souls with nowhere to go other than their broken bodies. Why a god of death would [i]choose[/i] to walk away from such an obviously lush source of death, I've no idea."[/color] [/QUOTE]
