Thread: The Goddesses' Call (Forgotten Realms setting)

Thomas nodded his head at the high priestess, I don't think so either no offense to the drow your an amazing and beautiful people but I've been blessed by a few gods and cursed by others I can literally do things that were suicidal to most people without a blink and even then I've gotten a few nasty wounds. Thomas looked at the priestess I noticed your displeasure, I'll try to help where I can but well I suppose I ay as well show you if this were a trap pre set up I'd be dead by now. Thomas dropped the small glamor he'd used. The burns were at ounce visible and obviously painful his ribs visible the edges of the wound were orange hot his left arm was badly burned as well. Dragon fire anyone with a practiced eye could spot it. Such a thing required a practiced and skilled hand to deal with. The wounds were treatable but the sort of thing that would cause most to be screaming in pain. Thomas smiled weakly at the matron as he said I need various bits of carnal fun or a good healer to fix these wounds I've had them for going on three days ad thus it should take awhile before I'm back at full strength sorry for the bit of false hood on my part but my goddess loves to send me into traps and depending on how me and your goddess got along you my have all decided to cut my heart out I figured better to wait but the numbing potion I took is starting to ware off meaning soon the smell of my burned flesh will be giving me away I figured better to get it out of the way. Thomas looked at the Drow who'd nearly laughed and said Feel free to offer your views Drow, I know that to you I seem but a child but I would remind you I have the blood of a dragon goddess flowing through my veins and when I first lived on this earth your people lived above ground as anyone else don't make assumptions it's rather rude. Looking at the Drow hiss tone had slipped to one a bit challenging but was now normal as he said I also did wonder information on the ritual so far has been a mystery since you seem to know so much about magic surely you can help e figure out why they are using such a convoluted and ancient ritual, and more importantly how they figured it out. Thomas lusted Drow but their arrogance was bothersome sometimes. Oh they weren't the only race Orcs elves all the Mythical races were so high and full of themselves. He was far older than any of the elves here a century or two older than the high matron probably but still they looked upon him as a human whelp. Did these Bringers of magic truly forget about the old ways. Just to remind the drow and a few others at the table he reached out into his OWN energy ad tapped it gently. It was lie looking into an ocean. Enough that weaker beings would have a hard time breathing. This was the magic of an ancient being a demi god a dragon slayer. The power just sort of floated their lazily but their was no doubt he knew how to use it. Looking at the Drow he said, I may have a normal body now, but I was a god ounce, I survived a battle with the god king, do not laugh at me speaking, I asked for your peoples help because you re better at it then me and because sometimes new eyes on the puzzle help you see new paths however I am not some street urchin I haven't spoken down about you your made judgements you should refrain from doing the same. Pulling in his power he said I'm sorry for that unpleasantness but for anyone who worships a god or goddess to judge is very dangerous, what if the next beggar to show up is your god in disguise, I've heard of Deadric gods doing that testing their worshippers if you'd just condemned everyone here with that action it would have been bad, not to mention I JUST said a powerful dragon was in the area how would one of them take to being laughted at by burning this whole compound to the ground. Thomas shook his head, the smelling of burning flesh gently wafting in the air he said Sorry but when you deal with gods and goddesses you learn to never exert power or to think your better than others it ends up with you bring broken for their amusements High Priestess, can you help with my wounds and will you?
