In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 111):

The woman, who is trancendantly beautiful and awe inspiring frowns slightly at Hograth.

"I am indeed the Lady of this place and time.
Why has my husband sent you to spy upon me?
 Our ancient agreement grants me this time in this place without interference.

In reply to Persephone (msg # 114):

"I know nothing of your husband, nor do I want to. I am a demon hunter, and demons were tracked to this world. It is our task to remove them, and then we will depart."

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 115):

"You lie. You serve my husband as one of his minions."

Ginko descends from his watchful position and bows before the lady. "Forgive me, but they showed no reservations when they destroyed the demons in the field. It was clumsy work, but decisive."

In reply to Ginko Bitterpetal (msg # 117):

"I serve only the Haderaum, Unless you are married to Hades, I can say I do not serve your husband. In truth, I do not know who your husband is, but unless it is Hades himself, you are not correct. If you are married to Hades, why to you tolerate demons in your realm?"

Stenet just remains silent, but his glower deepens.




OOC:  15:00, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 11 using 3d6.  Theology 11.

Urrun wanders over to a tree behind the group and (hopefully) out of sight of the queen. Nature is not taking "wait a bit" as an answer...

In reply to Urrun (msg # 120):

The woman on the throne stares at Hograth, waiting for his own words to sink in.

Hograth goes suddenly pale, as he realizes (as does Stenet) just who the lady is...
You are in the presence of Persephone, goddess of Spring, and wife to Hades!

In reply to Persephone (msg # 121):

The revelation confuses him somewhat, as he then wonders the question that has been asked but left unanswered.

"Forgive me for not recognizing you, Mi'Lady. Why then do demons hunt your lands? We serve you as much as your husband in getting rid of them..."

Stenet makes a choking sound and stomps out in front of Hograth, "Lady of Spring, we're here to remove a demon infestation from these lands.  If you'll pardon His boorish servant," he indicates Hograth with a thumb, "we do understand that disagreement with demons and the Lord of the Underworld are not mutually exclusive subjects.  Allow us reign to root out the demons, and we'll be gone."

He stands as tall as he can (four foot four inches) and uses as diplomatic a voice as he can muster, but really... isn't very diplomatic at all.





OOC:  20:23, Today: Stenet Fjall rolled 10 using 3d6.  Diplomacy 6.  Trying to diplomance the Fairy Queen of Spring, the Goddess Persephone.

The dice could have loved me...

The goddess frowns.

"Demons have no place here, they need be in Tartarus as allowed, or in the depths of the pit.
Likewise, the minions of my husband have no place here. There are many doors to this place, perhaps it was time they were duly warded.
Through which gate came you?"

Stenet points back in the direction they came from.  "It's near where this guy was assigned to guide us, amidst a field of sunflowers."  Stenet cocks his thumb at Ginko.

"You have, at the least, Doom Children in your garden.  But those creatures usually herald a much larger, more vicious* and cunning demon."



Editted:  * viscous to vicious.  Spellchecker got me the first time through.

He sighs softly with relief, as the pressure is released against a gnarled old tree.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 126):

"The gate we came through was from Temple Hill on Northport. If it is your will, is there a way to close the gate permanently? If you do not wish our assistance in ridding this dimension of demons, closing the gate would suffice for our purposes."

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 127):

"The Janus Gate? That is easily disabled if the tympsnum is removed from the pillars, but I would supplicate Janus before defiling his temple. If you can rid this place without burning any more of my neadows I  give you a day to do so."

In reply to Persephone (msg # 128):

"We will do our best to only kill the demons, Milady, though we cannot guarantee their actions will be non-destructive."

Bad babies go boom when hit

After standing in awe of the lady for some time, Goran recovers his decorum, and quietly nods.  He had nothing more to offer the people in this conversation, especially since Hors was not in the theological discussion.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 130):

"What the bouda says is true, the smaller demons explode when struck. The servant of Midwinter was caught in several explosions"

In reply to Pixie (msg # 132):

"Oh, those blasted abominations!If they are about, dispose og them. Disarming and droening them works best. Do as thou wilt, and harm none of mine. The place is my retreat, and I will not tolerate such things.

Ginko, go with them and see to their conduct."

"As you wish." Replies Ginko with a bow.

He returns to his lofty position overhead and waits for the others to take their leave.

Goran bows deeply, and silently, and then moves off a respectful distance to allow the others to make their farewells.

He just moves off too, as he doesn't get what the fuss is...

In reply to Urrun (msg # 136):

Hograth acknowledges the command and head off to rid this land of demons.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 136):

"You, bouda, came here with no objective, no otherworldly alliance. You remind me of Spot. Do not let these others influence you, beyourself."




Spot is Kérberos... Hades 3 headed dog, an immortal  beast of some reputation
