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.
...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??

It would, I suspect, take a time to explain, but I do not expect that is a constraint.
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.

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

The gods are all against us. Rahadoum had the right idea.
........why did pharasma, creator of everything and legendary hater of the undead, not simply stop tar-baphon?

Aroden tried that and failed, who's to say Pharasma could have done any better?

The gods work at cross purposes. Were Asmodeus unopposed, He could do more than just grant visions. And were the forces against Him unopposed, they could do more than... whatever it is they did, that Asmodeus didn't counteract.
Ornher Reebs doesn't have a good explanation for that part, actually.

Maybe Zon-Kuthon and Milani and Urgathoa and whoever hate us more than Asmodeus and Abadar and Pharasma like us.
