The Rape of Morne [Final Update]

[tleilaxu]

if jovol is fillein then sep was lying, err, misleading us when he said WAY back that all the mages who imprisioned graz'zt are dead.

when graz'zt got freed he immediately went to take vengeance on the mages who imprisioned him but to his ire found they were all already dead. someone with extra time can slog through the previous posts to find exactly how sep states this

edit: and this is my personal request to PLEASE leave Jesus et al out of this thread. Talk about hijacking...

A quote from an anonymous french writer, back in the 60's:

Resist the devil, and the devil will be your friend. A devil is not an atheist; he does not doubt God. The faith which he lacks is faith in man. And the act of sacred magic with respect to such a devil is that of re-establishing his faith in man. The purpose of the trials of Job was not to dispel the doubts of God, but rather those of the devil. These doubts once dispelled, who was it then who laboured to give to Job all that he had lost, if not the same being who had formerly deprived him of everything? Job's enemy became his voluntary servant - and "voluntary servant" means to say friend.

I, of all people, am go to bring up Jesus. Eadric is being given the exact same choice presented in the movie The Last Temptation of Christ: to stop striving & suffering for the greater good, and be allowed to live the life of a normal man.

Anyone know where else this deliciously human temptation has been presented/examined? I suppose it is visited in the Odyssey and the old gunfighter who wants to hang up his weapons for good. Other sources?

Titivilius did say that this is Jovol's current *incarnation*. Maybe he was powerful enough to transcend death and reincarnate after dying.

Regardless, once Jovol has 'bought it' I'm sure we ALL will want to see his stats on the Eadric and Pals thread!!!


Also: Jovol visited Mulissu in a dream. Any predictions as to how this will play out??

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that at some point it was mentioned that all the wizards except one that bound Graz'zt died, one disappeared and was never seen again.

And Alter Self is only a second level spell...

Oh and:

*Tallarn gibbers and mumbles to himself, hoping one day he'll be in a campaign half as good as this one...*

This isn't just gaming any more, this is art...

My feelings exactly.

Woah.

Just a Bump

Morne was just too low on the list, and Sep's next thread hasn't been created yet, so I thought I'd just give it a little bump.

>bump<

OT: Hey there, Jenni! Glad to see one of my victims in this thread... Er... Wait, I haven't had any victims yet... *POUTS*

Um, oh yeah... Great story, Sep! I had the same thought about Eadric's temptation and the Last Temptation of Christ - except I dreamed about it last night. I'd totally forgotten that film, and then I literally dreamed that segment of the movie, with the various persons of this story hour exchanging parts with various people in the movie.

No, I didn't see who Judas was folks - sorry.
