The Gods Hate Us

[guedo79]

"Baril, are you sure you want to do that? I don't know what is going on here but I don't like it one bit. Someone or some God is messing with the Gods. I mean one god sure but it seems like someone is causing a problem with all the Gods."

 

[Zerth]

"No, I'm not sure of anything else, that I want out of here. This book might contain some information we could use to our advantage, so stand back if you don't want to be here, when I open it," Baril says to Lou. He gives the others a chance to take distance, if they like, but he will open the book and take a look at it.

Oskar takes a step back and watches as Baril opens the book.

Lousin takes a set back with his back to the wall, "I trust you, Baril. I would not stand in front of you with a price on my head but I trust you here."

Though the book is a bit heavy, it opens without any apparent consequences. When Baril looks to the words, he finds that he doesn't as much see the words as the words see him. The words aren't in any apparent language, either, but he somehow finds his brain understanding them.

Baril:
[sblock]"He who has threatened the balance will no longer be able to reach the outside. The trap was sprung, and He shall be watched until His time has come. Simply death will not save the balance from Him, so we shall keep Him alive within the catacombs below. There are now others who have followed His path. If it is purposeful, we have not decided. Either way, they must be caught and the balance protected from them. One shall await them and draw them here. Until that time, we must all watch the multiverse carefully. This power must not rise. They must all be found and brought to this place.[/sblock]

 

[Zerth]

"A-ha!" Baril shouts after being absent-minded and concentrated for 'reading' the book. "This is a clue. Its says this place is a prison of some kind for those, who have become too powerful in the gods' eyes. There's some powerful creature or entity trapped in catacombs below, that was thought to be a threat to balance. The gods seem to fear this prisoner a whole lot."

Maybe we should set this crrreaturrre frrree then? A way forrr us to get back at ourrr opprrressorrrs!

The Grippli chuckled to himself and fished about his pack for a sliver of dragonfly jerky.

"Fascinating!" Ruslan says with far more enthusiasim than he's shown for anything but insulting people. "Give me the book, I wish to read further!" he says eagerly, all but going to snatch it out of Baril's hands in his haste to acquire new knowledge (now that he knows it is safe).

 

[Zerth]

"Come and try yourself," Baril says to Ruslan, not wishing to lift the heavy book. "You don't have to read it; it's more like the book projects images to your head. Some kind of magic, but you know much more about that than me."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Opening the book, Ruslan greedily reads the text, trying to seek out any hidden meanings.*
