@Legomaster: Finished, finally. I deleted it by closing the wrong tab. The dangers of multitasking, I guess.
@Anecron: You basically sprung your plan too soon. All you've done to convince the Gods or Odin's betrayal is too plant seeds of doubt in the minds of Thor and Tyr, and put on a flashy show. Odin knows how to cut through such things. By making any God who challenges him an enemy to the Pantheon, he makes the Gods far less likely to do so.
MWAHAHAHAHA The ancient, oldest being in the universe just declared priority 1 War on the Norse.
And the Norse released him from any bindings (magical or otherwise) that prevented him from fighting the most underhanded way he can.
The Norse are dead. Their bodies just don't know it.

This is pretty much the start of the campaign proper. Fighting Gods is what you came here for, no?
And it's no surprise that you're underestimating them. And it will also be no surprise when you ignore my saying that you're underestimating them and you keep doing so.
Though you should finish whatever plotlines you want for right now before meeting me.
The plan should get us all together and interacting but will stop you from plane-jumping and going off on your own for a while.
DM just PM (or OOC poke) when you are done prepping the thing.

So what has Anon insinuated about you all together?
I think it's a gay princess in a prom dress with Orcus as your date who sleeps with a teddy named Pookums but I'm not sure I got all of it.

You might notice that the Abyss spoiler had no PCs in it, or even observing it. I might make a few other posts similar to this one, just to let you know what's going on and add to the Epic feel of the campaign. You're Incarnations, you're bound to find out about things like this sooner or later, and it seems better to show instead of telling you.
@Legomaster: What colour should Destruction speak in? He'll probably be appearing at Ivory Marrow in the next post or two, so I thought I'd ask. Actually, the hardest part of DMing this game is choosing a new colour for each major NPC. I'd give him red, But Viserys has claimed it. Perhaps Dark Red Italic?
Also, concerning XP: I don't really think it fits at this point, since you're already supposed to be at the peak of your power. And it would frankly be hard to judge the amount of XP for each encounter, since I don't actually have CRs for most of the enemies, and you're easily more powerful than the average 30th level character. But I can still give it out for major battles if you want, since gaining power from defeating your foes seems particularly appropriate in this game. Ok, I've talked myself into it. Orcus would give you approximately...13'500 XP.
Blizzard will speak in either a shade of red or an icy blue. Your choice. If I don't like it, I could always change it if I ever take control of him.
A few things to remember: He cares almost nothing for being liked. He is a bit brutal, especially if things don't go how he likes them to. He is extremely trigger-happy, and will gladly launch a few Soulscourge Rays at anyone he doesn't get along with.
May I know whether any of the items had been cursed?
@Legomaster: Sorry for forgetting about that. None of the items are cursed in a significant way.
The scythe is a Large +6 Keen Vorpal Scythe of Unholy Power that has a base damage of 4d8 and automatically confirms criticals against Good aligned foes. In addition, each hit causes the target to bleed for an additional 10 damage each round thereafter, stacking with each hit.
The sword is a +8 Souldrinking(1d6 Negative Level drained with every strike, each strike drains the wielder of one level) Wounding Vicious Greatsword, Large size. It is also intelligent, able to communicate through empathy, and grants the wielder Righteous Might and Unholy Aura 3/day as a swift action, and can tear open a Gate 1/day as a standard action.
I'll keep your suggestions in mind when Blizzard appears. He seems a fairly straightforward person in his dealings.
@JKTrickster: Sneakiness is my signature quality. Paranoia takes after me in this.
Maybe. But then, why exactly are YOU stealing them? You're powerful enough as it is. I would at least like to give the Scythe to my field commander, Feral Tooth. He normally uses a Greataxe, but I had no plans for him to be "built" towards any weapon (although I did have Cleave and Great Cleave planned for him in advance). And, although I have no books personally, I'm fairly certain there's a way for level 9 Fighters to pick up Large-size weapons.

Hit him with a Giant Size spell? Or buy an Always-On Item of it? NOT Monkeys Paw (feat)
But you have a fair point.
Then again I could sell it to you for base price and give the money to starving orphans.
Or slavetraders with the planeshift location of starving orphans.
You'll have to ask and find out.
being Chaos is fun

Don't use that feat. Feats are precious. Use Armbands of Might (or whatever it is called) from the MiC. Same effect.
I can craft it for you dirt cheap.

I had no intentions of getting Monkey Grip. I've seen plenty of talk about it being a trap. Those Bracers interest me, though.
Notably, however, he's a level 9 Fighter. Feats are a little less precious to him than most.
Still... Even for a straight fighter there are many more useful feats to put into him.

Oh, I completely agree about there being better feats. That's why I wasn't going to pick up Monkey Grip.
Also, um, Anecron, I think everything that your character does is asking for a Sanity check on my part.
Looks like I found the perfect fit for my chars pic while he's fighting the nightmare beast.

It seems I'm rolling abysmally low today. Got another Nat 1 even...
I also forgot to roll for grapple damage.
Grapple Damage: (4d6+294)[314]

@Avalon: *looks at picture* You realize those sunglasses of badassery +5 take up an item slot space, right?
Also, critical threat from the ToS. Rolling to confirm, and extra damage if the confirmation hits: (1d20+138)[158] extra damage (4d8+84)[100] plus the 51 damage from the regular hit.
Giving it two sting attacks was a typo, just ignore the last one.
Edit: Woah, two natural 20s in a row. Good thing we aren't playing with my usual instant death rule on a second confirmation.
@Anecron: I think the snake has developed a mind of it's own and is slowly recruiting other molecules of your body in order to rebel against the original you and tear you apart from within. Just my take on it.

Sneaky Weasel, do I have permission to go nova? I would basically auto hit for several thousand (depending on how I'm feeling when I write the post) but I can totally understand if you would prefer if I didn't go there. And it burns 5000 xp off of me and I was hoping to save that for some of the Gods....
@Avalon: It failed on the grapple check, but that doesn't mean it can't attack you. You can attack with natural weapons in a grapple, albeit at a -4 penalty.
@JKTrickster: It's all on you. It would make sense IC, and there's not a lot of other options for taking out Paranoia. I'm not one to penalize characters for using their resources, and by the end of the campaign you will need to use everything you've got. I'm looking at your uber-natural attack array, Anecron.
