Favonius

I believe all the Shallamese Houses have also been dissolved. Or submerged. However you like it.

Tvistor

Did not know heathens were soluble.

Hashan got blown up before too. Also... is it done now.. can I go to bed?

I kinda hope not. The idea that all the gods are sitting idly by watching without doing anything, even if they're not good-aligned, is... questionable, at best.

Yeah, makes me wonder if they're gonna go M. Night Shallamalan and reveal they were behind everything all along.

Tvistor

Other Divine gonna post about Bal'met killing cities using timezone abuse any moment now.

Anyone with such polar politics should be.

Aktillum

I've had the Benny Hill theme stuck in my head this entire time.

THE ORMYRR ARE OVER THERE!

*huge group charge*

NOW THEY'RE OVER THERE!

*huge group charge*

NO, OVER THERE!

To be fair, they got their asses kicked pretty badly last time they fought back. It's entirely reasonable that trying to protect Shallam would end very badly for them.

Aktillum

I wonder if Shallam is going to wander through the Mhojave for 40 days and 40 nights to find new land.

Jonathin

I'm just mad because of all the work I put into the city and house. Don't mind me.

Lothien

The Empyreal Assembly is now the clan "The Empyreal Pilgrimage" :O

Chord

You are a member of the clan called 'Refugees of Shallam.'
You are a member of the clan called 'The Templar Legion.'

Aktillum

Regretting those housing upgrades right about now.

Davio

Aktillum

I had a house party planned for this weekend and now I have to walk all the way to Cyrene's post office to send de-invitations.

Kyrra

Post office at Delos probably closer!

it's never a good idea to plan parties during sartan/bal'met/dala'myrr/ormyrr raid season.

Beya

@Aktillum Don't worry. You'll likely be reimbursed for the rooms and upgrades. Then you can spend it on manly things like cigar boxes.

Tarkanian

Ain't nothin' manlier than a guy smoking amidst the ruins.

Beya

Let me be the first with the Shallam jokes.

How do you check if anyone is home in Shallam?

Wave.

What's Shallam and a Dragon Lord's wife got in common?

Both have been screwed by dragon bones.

Cleaned up the joke a bit.

Don't worry, Shallam. Plenty more fish street in the sea.

Aktillum

I SAW THE ORIGINAL

I love you

Where do Shallamese refugees drink?

Sand bars.

Lodi

@Beya, mabey those jokes will be a hit here, but in Shallam they're all sinking.

[Back to the logs!]

[Two hours since the event started]

A beacon of brilliant, white hot flames shines forth from Jaru.

The blinding conflagration coalesces, congealing into a titanic humanoid 

outline that towers overhead. The radiant light dispels all shadow, and the 

figure reaches down with a massive hand, its fingers grasping at something 

minuscule by comparison.

The purifying fire dims and vanishes, leaving a lingering afterimage in your 

eyes of a giant, wreathed in flames.

You draw a circle in the air with your wand, and a fiery outline appears.

 

A fiery portal opens in the air before you.

 

You step through a fiery portal.

Chapel Street in front of a church (road).

It is raining heavily, pregnant drops of water pouring down onto you. Sending 

incense-laden smoke billowing skyward, a funeral pyre rages here. Father Garron

stands here, a look of kind concern on his face. There are 2 ebony pegasi here.

A swarm of bees hovers menacingly nearby. There are 8 guardian angels here.

here. A piece of dried-out kelp has been left here. There are 2 pieces of irid 

moss in 2 groups here. A raven the colour of night perches nearby and observes 

curiously with beady black eyes. Fluttering on delicate wings, a huge gossamer 

butterfly flits about the room. There are 2 ruby hydras here. Standing still as

a statue, a blood steed has fixed its fiery red eyes on some movement in the 

distance. A noble hippogriff flaps its wings in agitation here. A small 

grey-brown rattlesnake is coiled here, rattling menacingly. A silvered reindeer

stands here with his antlers held proudly aloft. A crystalline phoenix displays

her

 fiery form from a nearby perch. A Thalassan kitten mews feebly at its 

immediate surroundings. A sapphire ice-phoenix perches here in silence, as 

still as ice. A Siroccian fighting kitten rests on his haunches here. Miniature

hands clasped patiently, a diminutive homunculus stands here, its features 

bearing an uncanny resemblance to Vhalkier. Aliora, an ethereal baby jaguar, 

lounges here contentedly. Romping playfully around is an inquisitive bear cub.

You see exits leading north, east, south, west (open door), and northwest.

 

The shimmer of divine protection fades from around Canasius.

 

Kaiu stands up and stretches her arms out wide.

 

Anaidiana stands up and stretches her arms out wide.

 

(Fools): You say, "Male immortal."

 

A great weight seems to have been lifted from Tasleus.

 

Tasleus drops to one knee before Deucalion.

 

Tasleus stands up and stretches his arms out wide.

Tasleus takes some salve from a vial and rubs it on his skin.

 

Deucalion says, "Pentharian, Heir to My power and My responsibility, called to 

Me. I heard in His cry His need. Your need."

 

Beya

Deucalion says, "Much is unknown to Me, but this is clear: A foulness has 

corrupted these lands. It has brought low men and Gods. It has brought you low,

making you refugees. I feel the pestilence, digging its tendrils into the bones

of the world. I taste the oily wrongness that hangs on the air."

His eyes reflecting the raging fire of the pyre, Deucalion thunders, "I return 

to you now, remade! Fire scours away all that is impure. I am that fire. You 

shall be that fire. We shall scour away the impurity that poisons the land and 

see it made pure again. We shall purge Creation of this filth, root and 

branch!"

You see Deucalion, the Righteous Fire shout, "Servants sworn in fealty to Good,

bound to Light as I am: I see the hunger for justice that burns in your souls, 

the valour that shines against the dark. Follow Me, and we will turn the tide 

against our foe!"

Cooper Ravenwind's Carmian voice resonates, "Hail, Deucalion, the Righteous 

Fire!"

 

The voice of the dragon Elysian Silas Maynard, Adherent of Light thunders, 

"Hail, Lord Deucalion!"

 

The heavens shiver with foul portent as the rumbling voice of Babel resounds, 

"Amen, amen, and thrice amen, My ancient foe. Come, Our game has lingered too 

long, its pieces dusty and longing for Our touch."

Sir Ariye Draekar Rian, Phaestean Knight's Herculean voice booms, "Hail, Lord 

Deucalion!"

[Pet emotes are really obnoxious.]

He is a radiant immortal, His august form manifesting as a human male in the 

prime of life. Taut, olive skin is marked with the fine lines of advancing age,

lending Him a sense of gravitas. Salt and pepper hair falls in a neat, 

left-leaning part with no strand out of place. Clean shaven, His visage is 

severe, with His strong chin, aquiline nose, and the crows feet that gather 

about His eyes untempered by any trace of a smile or laugh lines. Tightness 

gathers about his eyes, the irises of which are molten gold. A coruscating 

nimbus outlines Deucalion's frame, and the smokey flavour of a low-burning 

flame lingers in the wake of His presence.

He is wearing:

 an iron ring,

 a pair of black leather boots,

 a fine linen tunic,

 a swirling vestment of teal and bronze hues, and

 a supple leather scabbard

Drifting free of the raging fire that burns within a funeral pyre, incandescent

embers drift languidly skyward.

Lady Lyndee Faelithar, Mourning's Voice says, "It is our turn."

[This was really poetic.]

[Shallam has rallied to slaying Ormyrr.]

[Deucalion has rallied Sapience into collecting embers]

Daslin

You see Deucalion, the Righteous Fire shout, "Servants sworn in fealty to Good, bound to Light as I 

am: I see the hunger for justice that burns in your souls, the valour that shines against the dark. 

Follow Me, and we will turn the tide against our foe!"
