It's not everyday that you meet not just one, but two gods.
Although I'm really not too impressed by the one. Not that into bald guys.
But it was nice to see Mishakal, even if she didn't stick around for that long.
Here's what happened.
As you know we had a plan to get the Blue Crystal Staff (which by the way, is not Blue, is not made of Crystal and for an artifact is pretty unimpressive). Well, we were able to do just that (thanks to Balla) and as we were just getting to the apothacary shop where the avatar was, Fiona started screaming.
Of course I figured there was something wrong with her, and Dal did too. A few of us stayed while the rest rushed to see about the avatar. Once we made sure that Fiona was not bleeding or anything, we headed to the shop as well.
And it's a good thing we did or we would have missed meeting Set (try saying that five times fast).
So, there was Set, and 6 of his minions, and Mishakal's avatar. They were doing really, really naughty things to her that I don't feel like repeating here.
But never fear, we showed up to save the day. Except Markum seemed to not be able to hit the broad side of a barn, and ended up almost getting hit with an arrow in that portion of his anatomy which will assure the continunace of his family tree if you catch my drift...
Humans are icky.
Balla was quite impressive during the fight though, she fell and squished one of the minions, but apparently got the staff close enough to the avatar to have her use the staff to move the heck out of the way.
The fight didn't take too long, especially after Set left. I really wish he would have done that disappear in a sand whirlwind thing I've heard about, that would have been something!
So, Mishakal is back, and the former avatar is going to go straighten out her daughters. I really wish I could be a fly on the wall for that one.
But we are heading... somewhere. There is much debate as to what we are going to do next, go to Habbakuk, go find Lunitari's stuff, investigate a sighting of Chemosh in the area. All of these are possibilites.
It seems we have forgotten all about Chislev. I hope she doesn't get mad. Although she's neutral, so the worst that will probably happen is when she gets back she'll rain on us..... a lot.
Oh, note to self: keep an eye on Fiona. She's starting to ask really, really odd.
