    Jon made “goblins conversing with a demon” seem more wholesome than whatever is going on with this Mother cult.

      I think we would've overwhelmed Mother with the eye candy...and honestly, I would have been worried that the encounter with her wouldn't have gone the way that it did if we'd taken even more "candy" away from her.
      To dangle both Upior and Jost in front of her--and then leave with both?

    Oh yeah baby it is Tuesday so the show is on. I love all 3d6 Down The Line videos they are the best!
    Jon, I hope being at the first break and not having any adventuring done does not weigh on you. I for one loved the first 45ish minutes so much I listened twice. Don't get me wrong, I am here for the mayhem of the adventuring. The back story and all the things happening remind me of a detox and as I said before, the detox is my jam. I love learning all the backstory, history, what the players are thinking, etc. You do you but remember, if you post it, I'll watch it (eyes wide shut) because I know how good it is/will be.
    Does facilitating of the peace between the goblins and Deano's (spelling) children a feat of exploration or something to gain xp?
    RSVP yes for me Jon.

    Can't overstate how much I enjoyed the whole scene with Mother. Also can't wait to learn more about Dano (am I spelling that correctly) and her children.
    About Thoth: it makes sense, in an environment where knowledge is power and currency, to want to have on your side a god whose whole bag is knowledge with a side of magic. I mean that's just cool and useful too. For a scholarly student of magic, it seems like a no-brainer. My character would definitely be intrigued by such a god, and probably study and worship him. Plus, adherence to an ancient god no longer commonly worshipped - that's hip, dude. Lot of people don't do that. Just why *did* Thoth fall out of favor? Has this ever been explained? He's clearly still around, inclined to demonstrate his power...
    Mort becoming the Ptoh-Ristus would be an *awesome* development.

  • @bluebeard4454

    Don't forget about Lighta/Versanya! Avaricios you literally raised her from the dead following Lysseon! Is your bond so weak with your god? Plus I think avaricios is more of a party type character, thoth doesn't seem the be the guy for you.
    Mort however is a much more well put together character, and more calculating. It think that vibes well with Thoth. Though that's probably some of Ted's influence as a player as well. Given that Ted/Mort is also the bookeeper I think it goes well with Thoth.
    I really want to see Versanya in action though! I'd love to have a cult of Lysseon and Thoth align themselves and push the Settites out.
