In Thorne there isn't much useful information recorded about their gods, at least not in the castle.

Considering recent events - anyone else having luck in their research? The mirror, the poison berry - have these symbols appeared before?

What? It's a perfectly valid argument.

[magicalarchaeologist]

It will put everyone here in danger, not just the queen. Big picture.

[thedevilwhorose]

I want to know if she can fight a so-called god.

[magicalarchaeologist]

It will be an extremely short fight, her only power is in blood and wealth. A god isn't going to stop there.

[thedevilwhorose]

By "her" I mean whoever of hers that cast the meteor spell.

Obviously.

I think it'd make things interesting. Implode Thorne so they can't raze the countryside and all that. Fewer casualties; isn't that what people want, if they can't get peace? The greater good and all that.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Imploding Thorne would also cause quite a lot of innocent lives to be lost or destroyed, that's not the ideal ending for anything. We're not intentionally wracking havoc, Lucifer.

[he just skips on away from the bad lucifer no biscuit]

So you do think a banishment spell is possible?

I'm not making any promises. It would be a very tall order with more than one mage required for it. I'm not so foolish as to think I'm stronger than a god either.

But it sounds like they laid some groundwork for it before. When that entity tried to come through during the nightmares everyone experienced. They made people do a ritual spell of sorts.

[thedevilwhorose]

I didn't participate. I'm not sure who did.

[magicalarchaeologist]

They had the Summoned do a banishing spell. If we want to consider that the nightmare creature could have been a god, either here or elsewhere, there's an argument to be made that we should get a copy of that spell for ourselves.

[thedevilwhorose]

I do still very much want to know what the hell that thing was.

The fact that they're confident enough that spell will hold, too.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Exactly. They didn't try to use it this time but there were too many powers at play. They probably would have tried again if it was just one. I'd like to get my hands on that spell, but I doubt they wrote it down for any of us.

[thedevilwhorose]

Of course not, why, that would be easy. Nice.

[magicalarchaeologist]

But if someone who did it remembers the spell, it's a place to start from. I have a guess at someone I can ask.

[thedevilwhorose]

I'll be interested to hear their answer.

[magicalarchaeologist]

I'll let you know when I do. But until then, please don't try to provoke ancient gods because you're bored.

[thedevilwhorose]

Fiiiiiiine.

Thank you.
