Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
In one of the rooms, a sudden burst of light appears. The doorknob rotates slightly as what seems to be a new god enters the scene. A golden aura floats about him, even moreso near his visage, making all his features except his smile and the outline of the face indistinguishable.
He seems to use some sort of displacement, but maybe it is only the light play on his silver robe that gives this impression. He moves and takes a seat in one of the numerous empty chairs, and as he does so, all the light seems to be sapped from around him and the shadows cower to the point that even behind the chair where he sits, there was none.
He seems to be thinking quite intensely, staring straight at the wall in front of him, and for now at least, ignoring what seems to be going on around him.
After thinking about it for a while, Emrys nodded in aggrement.
"I too feel we should not have our people and all the others suffer for things that the gods have done. Yet how will we resolve this without open conflict?"
"The triumvirate will simply continue. We will give Noth one more chance"

The god gets up slowly, he closes his eyes for an instant and wanders around the common rooms, looking around, seemingly curious.
The new god spots total chaos. Many of the chairs have been used to block rooms, and some of them have been destroyed in the process. A table has been toppled, and a huge hole has been chopped in the wall. Each of the rooms had a different door, suitable for the god that lives there.

Looking down, minding where he treads, H simply walks among the debris and toppled chairs till he sees the great metal door. It seemed fairly new and... intact! He pushes it open.
At first it seems like it won't move, but then opens easily.
A man in full armour looks at the light god. "Oh, your that light god. Nice race. I'm nothing special. Just the most powerful god."
He then looks at H. "what secrets do you think this place has?"
H looks around. He looks at the man in full armour.
"I'm nothing special. Just the most powerful god."
He lowers his head forward as a sign of respect.
"what secrets do you think this place has?"
"Is there really any secret that can be kept from the light? But perhaps, judging from the door, and yourself... secrets of weapons, armory and the like? Maybe even smithing."

"Ah, your making a mistake judging this place on me. But, yes. I need to do some thinking leave me now." Said the man before quietly whispering. "Judging by appearances, who does that."
H goes back to the room, taking a deep breath. This seemed like it had been some sort of test. Perhaps the answer was not as materialistic as he had previously thought. It could be justice. Or valor. Concepts. He keeps to himself as he looks around the room.
"Ah of course, Chivalry. The embodiment of justice, valor, honor. I suppose that alone was a closer answer anyway."
H closes his eyes, then shrugs.
"It could also have been something like endurance or strength."
He closes his eyes and waits next to the iron door, pondering.

"None of those, I think. We have a god of chivalry, a god of strenght and a god of smithing. I believe he is the being that created us. The being that created the pearls. Whatever is in that room, there are no words in it. I can sense that"
((And I should be able to sense if there were...))

"Hello you two, how are you? Can I talk to the destruction man in private?" Said the armoured man.
"I can leave, if that is what you mean. But I will still hear everything, I'm afraid. God of language, you know. One of the few perks of the job. His name's Xankul, by the way"

"Of course I know both things, I am your creator after all." Said the armoured man. He walked into his room, then he looked back. "Language, do you not understand the power of this place."
Getting into his room, "you should get ahold of the lizardfolks."
"How many lizardfolk are thier compared to other things lots. You can get a hold of he lizardfolk, use your hobgoblins to lead them in utter destruction. Hopefully the hobgoblins aren't to soft already."
"I like the way you think. Yes thats a excellent plan. But how would i be able to kill them in one attack. I have already planned out backstabbing Emry's but a crucial part is my hobgoblins power. I dont like 75 against 500 odds."
"You are probably the second most powerful god. You could convince some of the lizard folk to help you easy enough, or you could create lizard folk to fuel your army."
"Yes, and if the smithing god taught my people to make spears, 75 hobgoblins, with 75 mounted worgs... They should run the lizard folk through combined with some of the Lizard folks treachery. There is a chance Emry's will attempt to intervene but i can hold him off."
