If the shadows eat everyone in Cheliax, who's going to guard the Worldwound?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA okay okay okay okay okay, I'll just

QUICKLY ADD "solve the WORLDWOUND or safeguard Korvosa's holdings against INFINITE DEMONS" to the godsdamn DOCKET.

...We'll pull through. All my best people are dead and damned but we can still do this if we work together.

Right?

Infernal Cheliax doesn't help at the Worldwound, that's just propaganda. Lastwall, though, if they fall we're really screwed.

Cheliax does too help at the Worldwound but if Lastwall falls Tar-Baphon gets loose.

You're thinking of Zon-Kuthon.

...No, I'm thinking of Tar-Baphon.

Ar-Pharazôn?

Let's add "Lastwall must survive" to our list of constraints.

Speaking of undead necromancers, if the shadows eat everyone outside Geb, Geb could wage a war of expansion.

Prophecy's broken, but gods can message people about the present, right?

It seems like this shadow mess would have gone better if some clerics had been alerted when it started. Why didn't, say, Abadar do that?

...maybe Rovagug ate all the normal gods. We might have to pray to demons witch patrons instead for help.

And why not let the gods solve Geb? I'm sure a majority of the gods are anti-undead expansionism!

They should get off their lazy asses.

Geb is ruled by a goddess: Arazni.

...if the rash of shadow outbreaks were precipitated by visions or possessions, why did it start in the middle of the night? Clerics have to pray for an hour for spells, in the morning. If they got a vision while praying shouldn't it have started during the day??

Most people don't have a shadow, idiot. It would take them at least hours to get one.

Geb is ruled by an epic wizard. He just delegates things to Arazni because he's too busy pining about his ex kismesis to run a country. 

I thought evil clerics got spells at dusk instead. Reebs, care to comment?

The Iron Gods in Numeria won't be harmed by shadows either.

Imagine it, Arazni and zombies and Blood Lords versus robots and whatever-Triune's-names-were and more robots and cleric'd robots all duking it out to see who inherits the Earth.

I'll loot a lasergun and make popcorn.

Many faiths traditionally prepare their spells at dusk, including several that have any number of possibly-Lawful-Neutral clergy. There's also variability between individual clerics.

I got that reference. 

Anyway, we're all in agreement that this would have gone better if, closer to the beginning of it, Pharasma had given her cleric a message like "Shadows!", right? It would cost intervention budget, surely, but aren't budgets pretty high when it comes to opposing Rovagug plots?

Why would Pharasma, creator of everything, even have a budget?

The gods are all against us. Rahadoum had the right idea.
