Killing The Gods

Involving the Pagan Gods in your story if a great way to add real-world mythology and lore, but it does raise a troubling question. How easy should it be for your characters to slay a Pagan God? How will that fit in with the greater Adept lore if your characters slay a god? 
Remember that the Pagan Gods were not always 'gods,' but primeval spirits who masqueraded as beings from mortal mythology in order to feed off of people's worship. Although a Pagan God does not need continued worship to continue existing as a pagan deity, they do need the power of faith to resurrect themselves.
When a Pagan God is killed, which takes a ton of damage to accomplish (and will usually involve heavy supernatural power, especially a Relic weapon), that deity will eventually reform by feeding off of the faith of its religious audience. However, if belief in that deity has died out, than the Pagan God is truly dead and cannot return (although he can be raised from death by another, like a fellow Pagan God or a powerful ring of Necromancers, etc.).
