[QUOTE="The803, post: 2483852, member: 23183"] The consensus seems to be to keep the stone, and Bi is relieved to avoid an argument about it; it's clear she has a deep-seated distrust of the blue giants and their offer. Jurgen's conversation with the bariaur and the goblins proves to be just such an argument; they seem to think that they can use their wishes to make themselves gods by using the first two wishes to preclude any negative consequences for the third wish. Most everyone thinks this is preposterous, but one fellow says that they are in fact, correct, and that since he himself became a god in that very manner, he's an authority on such manners. [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Look, the mercane are just offering to take your home domain off your hands and put them on the open market. It's not fair to saddle you with looking after an entire cosmology unless that's your cup of tea. I hear it's a lot of work, and I find being a free-range god is much more interesting than being cooped up in some private universe that doesn't touch anything else. I'd rather be somewhere that touches everywhere else, and the World Serpent is a fair sight better than the old birdcage.[/COLOR] The goblins and their argument gradually lose the attention of a gathering circle, now paying attention to the 'god,' who calls himself Loegh. He seems to be some sort of mix of halfling and goblin with a touch of faerie for flavor, and seems to know what he's talking about. As people begin to ask questions of him, you realize that he's not alone; a number of 'gods' have entered the ballroom, and circles of curious, newly awakened querants (like yourselves) are forming around each one. The githzerai have mostly left, but those that remain are also reluctantly answering questions about what has happened.
