You turn into a ghoul, actually, not a zombie. And Pharasma does it, not Urgathoa.

Pharasma does not turn people into ghouls.

Suggesting cannibalism 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

[derisively] There's no such thing as a secret cleric. If Someone clerics you, you know.

You only turn into a ghoul if a ghoul eats you.

If you eat the ghoul though it's perfectly safe.

Don't be stupid. If there was a cleric of Urgathoa here, the shadows would be reporting to them.

If no one else is going to say it: we don't have the teleport capacity to waste it shuttling corpses.

also i thought geb was a person, not a place?

By the powers Urgathoa has granted me, I hereby order all Shadows to depart!

See, nothing happened, so clearly I'm not an Urgathoan.

Uh, if there was - hypothetically - and I'm not naming any names - certainly none of my relations - secretly a cleric of Urgathoa in the vault... would they be able to get the shadows to report to them?

HEY. HEY. EVERYONE LISTEN TO THIS.

Urgathoa's always trying to corrupt clerics of other gods, right? And the more powerful the cleric the better?

What if Arbiter Zenderholm forsook Abadar and asked Urgathoa for salvation? Then SHE could command the shadows!

She's, like, a 5th-circle cleric. I bet Urgathoa would snap that right up.

Zenobia Zenderholm: That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life.

That sounds like a dangerous plan, if it doesn't work we lose a powerful cleric.

She should ask Abadar in a Commune tomorrow if she should forsake Abadar for Urgathoa

I think they've got a point there. But isn't Reebs a higher circle cleric? Make him do it.

No it doesn't count as being corrupted if you're already Evil, it has to be a Good cleric to work

She could be corrupting him from law to chaos! Or at least, like, a somewhat slimier form of neutrality.

Abadar's neutral, idiots. Maybe talk to the Caydenite architect? He had a pretty solid resume, he's probably just pretending to be lower level than he is.

Urgathoa can’t corrupt Reebs, he’s already evil. That’s why evil is the most trustworthy alignment; you never know when good or neutral might fall, but evil’s already there.

I'm noting, just for the record, that I could be LN and you wouldn't be able to tell, because of my Cleric aura.

I have plausible deniability here.

We've got wizards who can bind outsiders, right?

If Urgathoa wants a really Good sacrifice, we should just call a bunch of angels and sacrifice them to Her to make the shadows go away

Perfect, you should start praying then.

It should be agathions. They're meatier.
