Back on topic: There are no 'cool' parts of a star, really. Open up a portal to one and you basically have a continuously exploding nuclear bomb. That actually might get the Angel personally interested in us, along with everyone else in the world, and not in at all a good way.

Depending on how portals work why not just open one a few hundred feet in the air and giggle while they pancake?

How about we teleport them to the Cenobite dimension? Hit them with a mana drain, coat them in honey and let the ants have at em? Put them in a SCII tournament in universal ZvP against cannon rush specialists? Infect them with FOP and throw them naked into a bramble patch? Scuba tanks filled with farts? New Jersey?

 Sinking Feeling The teleportation circle activates, and for a second there is nothing, then the crushing weight of water flows in. the heroes try to scream or shout, but the suddenness of the sea rushing back in takes them by surprise. Laden down with armour and weapons, they are dragged down deeper into the water, the blue sea around the Sapphire Isle sparkling as they drop towards the sea bed. If front of them swims Sarga, she drops her illusion and spreads her tentacles, then blows the warrior a kiss as he struggles to free his sword. They are to deep and to far from land. She collects the stone the wizard had used to seal Asherah into his realm. She leaves her minions to pick over the bodies and take anything else they thought was useful - there are some minor magical items and some gold, but nothing worth Sarga bothering. It took some time to dispel the wizard's curse, but it was not designed to stop someone from getting in from this side, so she was able to find a work around, and Asherah stepped through the portal and into the lair. ”Thank you for the assist.” he said. He seemed taller than before, and somehow more solid. ”No problem, they seem to be out to get us all! ” ”Yes, they are trying to subvert my religion and bring it into this crusade on evil they are fighting, they have killed my high priest and imprisoned my prophet.” ”They’ve taken out everyone in the local area and killed half of us - though Mallus actually seems to think that’s an improvement on his part. I would be surprised if this wasn’t happening across the planet.” ”What do we do?” ”I’m not sure, I had to get pretty loud to save those I could, so I expect some high level heroes will be sent our way, but I’m not sure on how to best deal with that.” What do we do now? A - Seal the place up for several months. B - MANABOMB to cover our tracks. C - Go on the offensive to reclaim the Church. D - Call up the King and his heir. E - Something else. quote:Mana =85/450

D, either they're involved or they're being targeted. Cuoldn't hurt to call in a favoreither having them defend Sarga as their hero (or claiming to have killed her to get off some of the heat).

Can we get Mallus and Asherah to have a little chat via a vis the souls of the slain being stuck in a voluntary, temporary loop and the benefits of an army who on being slain have the peace of mind they'll have an immediate second (and third, and fourth) chance to avenge their deaths as an angry but coherent revnant.

The Kingmaker calls ”I’m going to get to the bottom of this!” Sarga says after a few minutes thought. ”I’m calling in a favour.” King Edgar Poe XXX was enjoying a relaxing bath. He had little to do these days, having abdicated most of his responsibilities to his son. Life was good now, he only needed to trot out for the main civil services, the occasional knighting ceremony, and feast days. He had even taken up painting - he was terrible of course, but he enjoyed it - almost as much as he enjoyed nobles paying huge sums for the paintings to one up themselves in devotion. The bath he was sitting in was large - originally designed in less prudish times for thirty people to talk. It was nice and warm however, and the guards were happy to leave him alone and guard the single entrance. A huge bubble broke the surface, splashing him in the face. As he coughed he became aware he was not alone, then a green head broke the surface slowly, stopping at inhuman eyes. ”You! You can’t be here!” he squealed at Sarga as she broke the surface properly. ”Now now, your highness, I am just here to ask some questions.” ”What questions?” he tried to curl into a ball and preserve his modesty. ”Questions like, what the hells is going on out there?” ”The crusade? You don’t know? Some group found an angel and have rallied most of the nations around her. They have been preparing in secret for years.” he looked at Sarga and added hurriedly. ”I didn’t know! My son deals with all that - I’m a figurehead!” ”Tell me more.” ”I can’t! They would kill me just for talking to you!” So, how will we persuade him? A - threaten to hurt him B - Threaten to reveal his sons history. C - Something else. Also - what questions do you have remembering he is not that well in the know! quote:Mana =84/450

You're just the easiest place to get what I need to know. If you keep your voice under control, they'll probably never know I was here. They'll be chasing their tails looking for whatever leak they may or may not believe to exist to look at someone as detached from governance as you. Or they already know I'm here, in which case you're a dead man walking and you have nothing to lose. So where were we? EDIT: If he decides not to help us because he's dead either way, buy his knowledge with an Asherah shell. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 12:40 on Nov 14, 2018 |

Double edged sword of 'you owe us, now we owe you' and 'if they find out what you did you're turbo hosed'. Help me and we can make sure their inquisition is topped before they discover everyone's dirty little secrets. You keep this a secret and and I'll keep you a secret.

Blackmail; if your son is that righteous he should throw himself from the castle rampart the minute he finds out what he is - or they turn on him. We need to know who this angel is, what their targets are, where they're holed up, etc. We should maybe try to find out if there was something the angel was actually supposed to be doing to prevent the "extinction level event" they supposedly appear for.

C You do know that if they're successful, civilization will just get overpopulated and the endless warring and starving and other joyful activities will start up all over again? Sounds like a rogue angel trying to ruin everything, rather than a legit enforcement of the OverGod's will. Plus, if this sorta thing had happened just a little bit earlier, you wouldn't have gotten your son, now would you? We have to restore evil for the good of everyone. Do the right thing and help me thwart this prick.

Polite persuasion. Keep him onside, we're all in this together, and it's in his benefit that agents of fanatical good don't raid our archives. He's already in too deep to clam up now, and we're the best chance he has.
