Dissentions V2.0 Game Thread

{Away for the weekend, will be back on sunday 29th around midday GMT.}
 
There is a hissing sound from the heap of rags that is the Illithid. Suddenly there is a loud click, his head twitches to the side and an unusually well-spoken and noble voice comes from beneath the hood.

I vote in support of The Ronin, he has stood down and no longer wants to fight today.

I would like to see the true believer prove his faith in his false god, lets see where it gets him.
 
Are thee Kol.7 the face of a tiger and the strength of a field mouse, beckoning me?

You care to raise your eyes from the hood long enough to consider there is another.

Well my young friend indeed there is. And I have been here a long time.
I should prove my faith you say.
Are you man enough to wear that tiger mask that haunts your very being? I reply.

And if I enter the arena; can I pull you by your tale and use your fat little head to beat my opponent with?

mmm....tasty.
Tiger for lunch.
 
There is loud hissing in response to scungebian's speech. Another click, another slight twitch of the head.

''How do you mock me, man of God? You ask me to remove ths hood of mine? Come out of the shadows? Hahahahaa. Maybe one day I will. Maybe one day you will see my true face, but not today.''

The Illithid turns and crawls into his tent, returning with a small, pink object that he proceeds to suck noisily. His red eyes glare from beneath his hood.
 
Between he and thee the darkness settles.
Wild, untamed winds swirl the dust of ages across this battlefield.
In the distance he who beckons stands, red eyes glaring, haunting the restless child warriors around him.
hmmm a foe to reckon with. Just another victim.
Perhaps there is something deeper in his fiery eyes....an alliance in the waiting.
Who knows.
The winds whirl on and the night slowly passes, both refusing to move. and both in each other's stare.

The Holy Man bows his head again and continues in prayer
for the slaughter draws near.
 
after serious prayer the Holy Man chooses to speak one more time....
A deep husky voice rolls deep from within, eyes fixed on this foe/friend on opposite battlefield; I vote.......Neverwonagame3 and The13thRonin and so ends this day in waiting, pondering's, prayer, and admission.
 
The Sacred Fist stops flexing his muscles and preparing himself to fight.

Let the True Believer face me, and prove the righteousness of his beliefs.

Let the Ronin rest on this day, he need not fight these battles.

Barbarian not understand. Who is this "god"?
 
Oh he's just something people use as an excuse for things they want to do but normally can't, like "I'll kill you in the name of God" or he's used as threat by people who are powerless to do what they say they will, like "God will stop you". In other words he's a scapegoat, but I'm fine with him because he's gotten me quite a bit of work over the years.
 
Ah.

Barbarian kill talkative masterless swordsman in the name of this god!

:joke:
 
lmao@that:nuke:
 
Oh, no, Gods are very real. But they're not for the likes of us. Those who claim they fight with the Gods' approval are only fooling themselves. Divine power can't be used for such self-serving means. Their claims are empty.
 
True Believer Versus Sacred Fist. Nothing like a good ol' Holy War to entertain the masses.
 
The voting phase ends 7 hours from now.

As for your word, why don't you fill the rest of the competitors in on your secret alliance with Nahkarma and what you said about team five... Something to the effect of "Getting rid of the weak." Wasn't it?
For your information, I have not entered into any 'alliances' yet. I have had a few offers but I do not trust those whose souls do not sing the truth easily. If I end up doing so, it is because I believe I can cleanse those souls of their evil and deceipt.

Secondly, the sacred fist's talk greatly amusing me. He speaks as those his 'god' is real and mine is not. He even convinced a creature of evil to take his side. Suspicious is it not? That one who claims to be a represent 'God' would not shun said creature, regardless of its opinion. One of true faith can not work with such evil. The illithid has no shred of goodness in its soul. It can not be saved. That being said, I have never once said I believe in a god. Just because I am a true believer, it does not mean I believe in a single entity that governs us all and passes judgement. My beliefs are too complex to discuss in a public forum, as some of us might pass out from overexerting their brains...

Looks at the barbarian, among others.

... which wouldn't be fair to them. If anyone wishes to hear a more detailed explanation they can contact me about chatting in private.

I believed that I could change you Sacred Fist, but I was wrong. Though you are not evil, you are too stubborn to be helped. Very well then, I shall cleanse you of your false faith and your soul shall see what the truth is. You will realize that I am right.

Edit: OOC: for ease, my MSN is dfb@uvic.ca, that address doesn't work as an email however, just MSN
 
I vote for Renata, the Planeswalker to lead Team 1
 
The Sacred Fist turns towards the True Believer with a rare smile upon his normally angry face.

Your very words condemn you, and reveal your faith in nothingness. I have not spoken of god, nor do I believe in one. It is the powers of the divine that shelter and save us, that nurture and protect us. It is the divine that I protect, not a god. As for the illithid, it is a creature of the divine the same as you or I, and your beliefs to the contrary expose the fallacy in your thinking. The divine created him, it is not his fault that he bears the shape of an octopus, and yet you would exclude him and torment him. My task is to stand against that, to defend the beliefs of the divine. Let no man discriminate against others for the shape he bears, or the language he speaks. The Divine stands against that! I will stand against that!

The Sacred Fist slowly clenches his palms together and draws a longs word from a sheath at his side.

Still, I am glad that you finally found the courage to accept my challenge and defend your beliefs. You are a blasphemer and worthy of death by my blade, truth, but perhaps the wretched trait of cowardice does not posses you. Although you did try to avoid this righteous confrontation for quite a long time. So perhaps I cannot judge the strength of your character. Regardless, I know who will emerge victorious in this fight, but you may take solace in that fact that you may possess a small shred of honour.

Whirling his sword in his hands Pinman lowers his voice to a whisper.

Your death is near you know, but you still have a chance at eternal salvation. Renounce your worthless beliefs, and accept the true power of the divine. Only then can you find some peace- although in heaven.

Prepare yourself to die you vile defamer.

Finally, having finished confronting his foe, the guardian of the Divine turns towards the others.

Thank you for allowing me to prove the truth in my religion. May holiness consume you all.
