We've submitted a fake goddess in a sort of Infernal Idol competition where contestants put forth deities for judgment. The "winning" god is sacrificed to Emperor Orcus and the submitting party wins big money, prizes, and influence in the Infernal aristocracy. See, we have this plan... The following is the DM's summary of the session._______________________________________________While Vox did some investigating into the current whereabouts of Z'roa Pesach's other purported fiance, the Viscount Zerris Yarn, and Lizzy labored to unionize the wage slaves of the City of Brass, the trio of Fagin, Chakram, and Yatagan made an appearance at the Festival.They observed the judges: Lord Mayor Mammon (who has made it quite clear that his vote is for sale), Lord Graz'zt (whose personal dwarf, a Dueger named Misquamacas, has submitted an entry into the contest: Conroy), Lord Jubilex (a massive slime demon, also known as the Faceless Lord of Phlegothos), Lord Demogorgon (who seems somewhat mesmerized by the god Conroy), and Duchess Balphaagor (a slinky succubus with a taste for Dragonborn machinery).They observed the gods: Yehov (a large human with flowing rob and a long white beard, who has been displayed for the past few years in the Grand Circus), Feelrond Felagood (a surly unicorn formerly worshiped by a tribe of wood elves), Illuyankas (a dragon found digging in the ruins of Pandemonium, who tells Yatagan that he a sort of angelic messenger sent to prepare the way for Yatagan), the faux Lady Kommarel (who Fagin fed more drugs to), Conroy (a floating, spinning, burning wheel within a floating, spinning, burning wheel), and Kamapua (a pig god, with large tusks, who washed up on the beaches of Dis with a long wooden board during the festival last year).The pig god Kamapua surprised the trio by asking them, "Where is Paetros?" and commanding them to "Bring him to me."Chakram worked the crowd, learning that most people favored sacrificing either Illuyankas or Feelrond Felagood, mostly out of racism towards the Dragonborn and Elves presumed to worship them. Yatagan made a magnificent speech imploring the crowds to re-direct their hatred for all things Elvish to the golden goddess of the Eladrin while Fagin spread incredibly seductive and virulent lies about Feelrond Felagood and the nature of his horn. Not only were the crowds completely moved, so were the judges, who eliminated the foul-mouthed unicorn from the competition.The standings for this round in order of votes: Illuyankas, Conroy, Lady Kommarel, Yehov, Kamapua with Feelrond Felagood, in last place, being eliminated.The next round will begin at 10:00 tomorrow morning and there will be opportunity once again to speak to the gods and/or attempt to manipulate the results.Intrigued by its ability to sh*t rainbows, Fagin haggled with Feelrond Felagood's owner but failed to come to a satisfactory price for the unicorn.Moved perhaps by Yatagan's oration, the Duchess Baalphagor invited the trio for cocktails in her garden. They learned a bit more of her love for all things Dragonborn and attempted to convince her that Illuyankas was in fact not a god. Seeing she was not as moved as she had been earlier, Yatagan rashly promised that he was on the verge of recovering a vast storehouse of Dragonborn gadgets, even implying that it was the lost floating city of Taska-grasann-gue he was speaking of). This pledge intrigued her and they left somewhat satisfied that they had her vote. Afterword, Chakram did some digging and discovered that Illuyankas was submitted by the Duchess Baalphagor's brother-in-law).And there was a somewhat disappointing meeting in an S&M club with a low level member of the Cult of Beautiful Pain, who lied badly about being able to sell them the city-moving ritual. Even an ample dose of Fagin's nasty old man sex failed to achieve much more than a "Don't call us, we're call you" from the diminutive Tiefling.Night has now fallen and Vox has returned with no solid leads as to where the Viscount is hiding out. The trio inform Vox, and his special guest soul Paetros, about the demands of Kamapua, along with the troubling news that the pig god may be kicked out of the contest tomorrow, after which it is uncertain what will become of it.Lizzy and Pogsley will no doubt pop up when everyone least expects it.(This is why I love my group)</blockquote>
