What demigod has not yet voted?

[Vinyadan]

I didn't reflect on it, but now that you mention it, I've never seen day and night at the same time, so that would be the opposite of odd

That means... they're the same person! Like Zorro and Don Diego de La Vega!

[Aasimar]

I find that very hard to believe, wasn't Don Diego de La Vega a nobleman and friends with the governor and other officials?

Now that you make me think about it, he and Zorro are just like day and night

[Bulldog Psion]

While I'm sure that's Belkar's favorite party game to play with dwarven strangers, I'm not sure why the OP would favor that particular pastime.

It took misery and a splitting headache at 4 in the morning for me to suddenly get the genius of your joke.

Now, I'm actually chuckling out loud at it.

"Dagur or Nott" ... Belkar's favorite party game ... "dagger or not" ... hilarious! Thank you!

[foobar1969]

Oh, here we go...

Don't start that AGAIN. Don Diego de La Vega wears glasses, Zorro DOESN'T wear glasses.

Interestingly, Forseti's claim to fame is that he is a great peacemaker and judge, kinda like a norse Solomon. It was said that nobody brought charges before him without leaving satisfied.

Even though this is a loose adaptation of norse mythology (at most), my theory is that while Forseti is relatively neutral towards destroying the world at this point, he would not want to do so with half the pantheon so adamantly against it. It's easier to not destroy the world, then change your mind later and destroy it, than it is to destroy it and then change your mind.

I believe he may offer a compromise of some sort instead of a clear yes or no. Perhaps a time limit of some sort.

I'm fairly sure he'll make a long speech, trying to make peace between the two factions at least.

It might also be a more interesting story development to get a compromise than a clear no.

edit: I'm actually prepping for a 5e game set in a homebrew Norse mythology setting based on the Eddas, which is why I've been boning up on this stuff. If it turns out I was right, I kinda feel bad about it. I know I'd hate it if I was the giant and had this plan and somebody came along and guessed it.

I like this theory. It would also lead to Loki being able to make another quip along the lines of "That's what I said, like, 10 minutes ago!" cos he was in favour of waiting it out to see what happens.

The last demigod is Schrödinger, the Demigod of Uncertainty. His vote is both Yes and No at the same time, depending on whether a cat is still alive.

Consequently, Vamp-Gontor is on the Mechane in order to kill a cat and cause the quantum waveform to collapse in Hel's favor.

But - SPOILER - Schrödinger is actually the secret identity of Blackwing the Raven, who has previously displayed his ability to exist/not-exist simultaneously, and oh brother, things just got REAL.

That means... they're the same person! Like Zorro and Don Diego de La Vega!

Absurd. Next you'll be saying Batman and billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne are the same person.

[Lothar Hill]

The dwarf with a crown, will vote no, Giggles the clown will vote it back to a tie, with Elan as his high priest.

He has an island of orcs worshipping him.

[War-Wren]

The dwarf with a crown, will tie the vote, Giggles the clown will be the tie breaker, with Elan as his high priest.

He has an island of orcs worshipping him.

The vote is 3-3... the dwarf with the crown's vote is the tie-breaker.
Plus Elan wouldn't be Giggle's High Priest... that would be shaman vurkle

This would be the most fantastic thing and if it happens you will get three internets.

Today I learnt that Batman isn't the night. The night is the day trying to be Batman.

The last Demigod has to be Spekulatius, goddess of wild and baseless speculation, who should qualify as a full-fledged deity considering how much power this forum gives her.

Wrong plane of existence, until someone casts plane shift on the server.

[Emanick]

Roy cares about not breaking the Godsmoot rules. The vampire-that-was-Gontor probably doesn't.

Roy only cares about not breaking the rules because he doesn't want to get instantly massacred by the Godsmoot clerics. If the vampire possessing Gontor's body tries anything, he'll be decimated within a round.

I'm glad someone got it. I was worried that it would be way too vague for anyone to comprehend.

Hope your misery (and the headache along with it) has subsided by now!

The seventh vote is actually the Dark One's Plan B. He will strip Redcloak of the High Priesthood and give it to the dwarf in the blue robes, who will reveal himself to be a polymorphed Redcloak's niece. Redcloak's niece will then extort the Gods into granting concessions to the Dark One or else she will vote with Hel and end the world.

I knew this thread was missing something! Hmm...now what about Trigak and Therkla...

They are busy scrying on the Order in the desert.

[Shining Wrath]

I said Forseti a couple of times in the main thread. But the thread moves so fast, I think it got lost.

He's the only main god in norse mythology not to have had a nod yet. There are a few others, but those are mostly monstrous or giants. Forseti is the only one who regularly comes up as one of the Æsir who hasn't been mentioned.

His name is literally the Icelandic word for President. He could be the demigod of rulership or of councils and gatherings.

I think the crown symbol would fit.

Given the close-up picture, I'm going to guess your guess is guessed correctly, I guess.

So that means he would try to reconcile everyone, but I also think if he can't make up his mind in the end, he'd go with Odin's vote, deferring to the ruler.

[Psyren]

Roy cares about not breaking the Godsmoot rules. The vampire-that-was-Gontor probably doesn't.

Durkula does too, if his spiel just before drinking Gontor is any indication. Also, Wrecan explicitly states prior to the moot that the other priests will smoke him if he breaks the rules.

No, I think the orb is Gontor's target, since Durkula knows its whereabouts and anyone can use it. This will also force the Order to help Bandana deal with the brewing mutiny drama onboard the Mechane.

[littlebum2002]

That's a stupid prediction. Obviously Miko is going to show up and Smite Durkula

[zimmerwald1915]

But a Blackguard's smite wouldn't do very much to Durkon, until he was destroyed and resurrected.

If only we could harness the energy generated from the sheer amount that Schrödinger must be turning in his grave....

Also, the Demigod of Uncertainty would be Heisenberg. He rode the bus with Hund, until Pauli tried to get on and it broke.

Are you sure? I thought he was on the bus with Skinny Pete.

While we're on topic, is there any further meaning or significance in Thyrm, Lord of Frost Giants' answer? I don't know my mythology, is grumpy and with-holding standard behaviour for this demi-god? Or is there a plot-thread waiting to be picked up there?

[Rogar Demonblud]

He tends to keep his own counsel, yes.

I think it's likely an indicator that, like Hermod, he may have prearranged his vote with Hel before the Godsmoot.

All I know about Thrym's base in mythology is that he was a frost giant who stole Mjolnir and that getting it back involved Loki and Thor in drag, Loki's fasttalking skills and violence against frost giants. I don't think he is a plot-hook.

I think it's likely an indicator that, like Hermod, he may have prearranged his vote with Hel before the Godsmoot.

Or he isn't working with Hel and has his own reasons to end the world. He just wants them to stay secret because they are silly.

[8BitNinja]

I'll tell you which one

AND HIS NAME'S JOHN CENA

No, that's somebody else.

[Nightcanon]

Wouldn't this break the rules of the conclave? The loophole Roy is exploiting is being the bodyguard of the priest he's trying to kill.

We know of the rules that bind the delegates and their bodyguards, but false-flag attacks on the Moot by way of deliberate airship crashes may not be covered in the same way that bodyguards attacking their own principal wasn't. If the Mechane hitting the Moot is treated as an attack, who gets in trouble for it? Bandana, Elan/ the Order, or the gaseous form of Gontor slipping away unseen in the confusion? Highly unlikely to be Gontor in my opinion, and even if he is blamed, he's still just a pawn in Hel's game.
