Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greenfield" data-source="post: 6082526" data-attributes="member: 6669384">Are you asking medium, message, or mechanics?The mechanics are simple:  god said so.The medium?  A dream would work well.  Think of the Nightmare spell, but with specific, directed visions.  And what could be more of a nightmare for a Cleric than to be told that his god is being banished from this world?Now, if you're looking for the box-text to read to your player's character..."Almost as soon as you close your eyes you are beset with a vision.  You see the world spread out below you, the order of laid out fields and roads balanced against the verdant beauty of the wild places outside of man's control.You realize that you are on a cloud, and across a relatively short distance you see another cloud, dark and roiling.  On that cloud you see more observers.  One is your god, and he's straining to reach you as the clouds drift apart.  But the distance widens into a chasm as the stormy winds draw you apart.  The gap widens still more, and you realize that the gods are being carried away by forces beyond even their control.  Thunderheads billow and rise between you, and you are completely cut off from them now.And then the rains come, and the world below darkens, your view of it obscured by storm and chaos.  You find the cloud you stand upon dissolving, and you fall with the rain.  The beauty, the balance of order and chaos you saw from on high is vanishing as you lose that godlike perspective, and are once again thrust into the here and now.  And you feel cold and alone, an emptiness where the spirit of your god once was.  The ground rushes at you and...  you awaken, sweating and shaking.  But the emptiness remains, that part of you that you never really noticed until now, when it's gone.  The night remains, somehow darker than you ever remember it being.  Outside you hear the dark drumming of the rain..."Will something like that do the job?Contact with a Sage or a good Knowledge - Religion check will help them interpret the dream.  The message is pretty clear though, the gods are leaving,not of their own choice, and the world is in for a dark and chaotic time.  The storm is upon you.</blockquote>
