Jaws that bite, 3.5e roleplaying thread. - Page 16

The book clears his throat, a look of sincerity is displayed upon his cover. "It was many years ago, and in world distant from this one. I was the head cleric at a large temple. Because we were so loved by the populous we recieved many donations, and even though we did our best to feed, cloth and heal those in need with our wealth, we recieved more than we could spend, especially in magic and rare items that couldn't be easily converted into gold." A sad look crosses the book cover. "We were not warriors or battle clerics, and many came to try to steal and loot our coffers. One group, lead by a powerful mage eventually did overwhelm us, but not before my spells wreaked death and havoc among his cohorts. In the final battle I fell to his dark magics which froze my will and robbed me of conciousness, when I awoke he had imprisoned me into this form as revenge for those bandit friends of his that I did manage to stop, and used me as his spellbook. It gave him pleasure to taunt me before he studied his spells." The books expression suddenly gets somber. "He eventually put me in a shelf as he gained new spellbooks, where an enterprising thief stole me, and sold me to another mage, who tired of my pleas to be freed, and sewed my lips shut, since then I have been passed from mage to mage for many a year and across many a world, but usually stuffed in some book pouch."

The book suddenlly smiles. "But now you have found me, and I know I will soon be freed!"

"I'm just curious as to waht temple were you a master of? What were you worshipping?" Ransel becomes interested in the book.

MoldyOldie · 02-05-2004, 05:05 PM

"Oh", says the book, "our god is not known here, he is called Set".

Nortsa snorts loudly

Ransel turns to Nortsa and asks "You know about this.. Set?"

OOC: Hate to make it seem like I planned this, but I'd like a Knowledge: Religion(I have a 2, not a 4, just to be sure) check to see if I know anything about Set.

MoldyOldie · 02-06-2004, 11:21 AM

@ Ransel: You know Set is an evil God from a pantheon to your knowledge not worshipped in the realms.

Nortsa says "Set is evil personified, a dark and jealous god who spreads murder and decipt."

Bozos of Bones · 02-06-2004, 02:29 PM

"Who were these people who attacked you? A rival cult? An opposing diety?" the story of the book was getting interesting.

MoldyOldie · 02-06-2004, 02:51 PM

"Greedy worshippers of Osiris, trying to take what was ours and turn the people away from Set!"

Bozos of Bones · 02-06-2004, 03:19 PM

OOC: another religion check, please.

MoldyOldie · 02-06-2004, 03:53 PM

Osiris is another god from the same pantheon, the god of the underwold, and you think he and Set are bitter enemies.

Bozos of Bones · 02-06-2004, 04:20 PM

"Hmm..." Ransel thinks how to procede with the questions, and then continues "Do you remember being in rooms of a cult or a monastery recently?"

OOC: Come on, people, where is everyone!?
