Default The Temple of The Snuggles

no, this is the hierarchy of The Temple. I am the Pope because I am the only member so far, ok? if you want to join then you go into the next open slot, unless you want to be something else. if you want to be something that isn't there, then you are off to the side a bit. for example, a paladin and a zealot added.

Snuggles
One Pope (Me)
Three Archbishops (,,)
Five Archpriests (,,,,)
Seven Bishops (,,,,,,) Zealots()
Ten Priests (,,,,,,,,,) Paladins()
Acolytes()
Initiates()

Catnip for the Cat God! Yarn for the Yarn Throne!

there will be no heirarchy

as far as snuggles is concerned, there are only 2 types of people:
1) those of us blessed with the knowledge that he will be our death
2) those who are in for a bit of a suprise

We should just claim positions at our own discretion anyway. If our Cat God disapproves, he shall end our existence at his own convenience anyway.

I wish to become Commander of the Elite Yarn Throne Guards. This organization keeps out all of those that Snuggles does not feel it worth his time to personally destroy. Mostly ceremonial, since Lord Snuggles will toy with and destroy just about everything. However, the EYTG is still highly trained and skilled.


Catnip for the Cat God...AND YARN FOR THE YARN THRONE. All Hail Snuggles.

Cats get into fights all the time.
But no cat would fight Snuggles, not only because of the huge group of people following Snuggles around worshipping it, but because SNUGGLES IS ALMIGHTY.

I command the elite bearers of the milk and catnip. the EBOTMAC go into training for 7 years, and then they get tested to see if they actually have any potential. I am their commander.

You're right, the only way it would be fair for Rex to fight Snuggles is right after Snuggles has been weakened by fighting Ceiling Cat.

I was assuming Rex was doing the fighting for our souls while Snuggles did his little grudge match thing.

I mean, he has to have something challenging to do that day, as the match with Snuggles wouldn't be.

Been tempting his wrath all thread.

So far, no problems... OW, MY ARM!

Correction: No problems on the scale Snuggles is supposedly capable of.

the downside is your questions never got answered

the upside is you helped found a new religion. And for that snuggles will reward you: your death will be swift and mostly painless

My advice is to include more detail in your opening post. If you post vaguely and then fail to clarify your point quickly enough people will start filling in the blanks for you with whatever seems amusing at the moment, leading to... well, leading to this.

Factotem, actually, from Dungeonscape.

However, you are mistaken if you feel that any mere dog could possibly stand before our lord and live - unless perhaps he is attached to a bell. This may spare him for a few moments, while Snuggles the Dark Lord bats him around, but ultimately:

"You are on the way to destruction ... you have no chance to survive make your time,"
