Thread: The Goddesses' Call (Forgotten Realms setting)

Thomas shrugged, I don't know, well I sort of do but this whole quest has been an odd one. Looking t them he down a pitcher of wine quickly not a drop wasted as he ate as well. The amount of food was large but politely eaten. Including wine pitcher of a night shade wine that while amazing if a single goblet was drank anymore and the drinker typically died from the poison. Looking at them he started his tale Three months ago I happened upon a group of nympho nymphs, we frolicked for a few days when they were set upon by a group of bandits and slain an old talisman they were tasked with keeping hidden stolen, as you ll know Nymphs are relatively weak physically their was no need to kill them but the bandits didn't care. Drinking more he said I killed the bandits a day later but by then a group of harpies being controlled by the dark wizard Garelladron had stolen the talismen, so I hunted down the harpies, found out where Garelladron's air was, freed the harpies leader, but Garelladron was already gone to the lads of Gellash, a place where the land and air are toxic because of a volcano. He ate some more at he said, So I did a favor for a group of Mermaids, who gave me mystical conch so I could breathe in the land of Gellash, BUT the wizard hada lready stolen his prize a new talismen forged in the depths of the volcano, which he needed to summon a lava beat, which I had to kill before it reached the Nyad cove where the second talisman the wizard wanted was being kept. He ate and drank a bit more nodding his head he said, Problem was, by the time I found the wizard the fool had combined the two talismen to unlock a door to get a ring of power, however said ring of power took time to activate, and the fool was in a Dragon's air and got eaten. Shaking his head he said, So, I went after the dragon but it was a grand elder dragon as in eaten so many diamonds it's hide is made of them it's blood is molten gold, yeah the sort of dragon you need a god, or god's weapon to truly bring down. He jerked his head towards the Bisento on his back saying So then I went to the Dwarven smith go who owed me a favor, and after killing the Dwimmer who were trying to wipe out the people in his monastery, I was rewarded the last weapon he made before his exile that eventually lead to him becoming a god, the Bisento on my back. Eating some more he said So that's when I found out about the Dragon Worshipers, they apparently used unicorn hair to capture the dragon and have been ravishing cities headed this way, I passed the last one two days ago. Sighing he said, Best part is they formed a knife from the dragon's own scales and have been using it to bleed him, giving them the ability to temporarily become gold dragons themselves I slew a half dozen at the last settlement but their see to be thirty or so all together. Thomas nodded his head slowly as he said, I finally asked my goddess what she thought and she said she had no idea BUT that a day and a half's journey from a Drow orgy camp was a ancient temple to Dorthalimu, the dragon god of destruction that if the dragon worshipers invoked while drinking the blood they'd be turned to god dragons forever which would cause major issues. Shaking his head he said She admitted she new about the plan from the beginning she wanted me to do the leg work because it builds character, so for the last year and a half I've been wasting time trying to avenge innocents slaughtered along the way. Anger flashed through his body but as he touched his sword it seemed to bleed away. The sword feeding on it. Looking at them he put his twelfth plate aside and said So I'm going to relax for awhile an enjoy the hospitality of your town and temple, she says I have a week while the dragon cultists gather and prepare, she wants me to head out at dawn's first light but I know she'll just jerk my chain around so I'm not moving from this spot until the day the ritual has to occur, then everything will be set up and all I have to do is make the main caster not say one word at the right time and the whole ritual will collapse hell according to the information if a non believer gets within a hundred feet of the alter the ritual will fail d kill all those invoking the god I don't understand. He looked at the Drow who had spoken and the high priestess as he said I'm sure you both understand, magic is an art if a ritual takes days power itself, to invoke a god that hates you is dangerous at best, say the god does what they want, they will still die Barring that the ritual is so specific so finely timed I wouldn't want to attempt it with a hundred of the best mages totally sober I've ever met that many high on dragons' blood it's more like a ritual suicide than anything else.
