I - I don't know.

Why did you say that all in Kendall's voice?

Permalink

The turtle's getting away.

Permalink

I thought it'd be funny.

Permalink

Kendall wanted to throw in with the Rough Beast and now he's gone stark raving mad.

Well, actually, now I'm thinking... obviously we can't team up with a god that wants to eat Creation, that's kind of self-defeating for us as part of Creation. 

But shadows only want to eat people, and there are a lot of people out there, many of whom have nothing to do with us. And more are made every day!

We should negotiate with the shadows; they were once Korvosans, surely they remember how to wheel and deal.

Permalink

Suggesting we feed people to the undead is exactly what a secret cleric of Urgathoa would say. 

How do we know no one here is a secret cleric, listening to our plans and reporting back to the shadows?

Permalink

If he's the secret Urgathoa cultist we need to negotiate with him so the shadows go away!

(we can always assassinate him later, but we can't be saying that where he can hear)

Permalink

I'm not saying I am the Urgathoa cultist, but if you think I am then I'd be willing to order the shadows to go away in exchange for two scrolls of teleport and 50,000 gp.

I'll leave first so you can't murder me and then command the shadows to stop once I'm safely in my secret private sanctum.

That's absurd! Ten thousand gp, and I'll go no lower.

Permalink

You have ten thousand golden sails on hand?

And two scrolls of teleport?

Permalink

The turtle is crawling away.

Permalink

It'd come out of the treasury, obviously.

I'm the cultist!

Permalink

No, I am!

Pharasma!

I spit on the lady on the Lady of Graves.

We've done no wrong, and Pharasma deserves to watch Her own daughters devoured by esurient night.

Permalink
How dare you say that of Pharasma! She Created the universe. You think that you know what's right and wrong better than the Creator of the universe?

If there's actual reason for concern that someone in this room is a cultist of the Pallid Princess or Rough Beast, there is such a spell as Abadar's truthtelling.

It may prove productive to cast.

Permalink

That's the same logic that Asmodeans use to justify His tyranny.

Permalink

That must be why he suggested we use it!

Permalink

They're wrong about Asmoedeus's primacy, they aren't wrong that the person who created mankind has every right to - that the creator of the universe deserves deference and respect!

The turtle's escaping.
