D&D Recap- Minoas' Introduction

In the aftermath, Minoas bursts into view from a spout of glitched fire. The crowd is terrified already, and now awed, magically. Minoas begins, as The Bard wanders off considering what to say as he always does, but now in possession of a crown.

"YOUR GODS ARE COCKROACHES TO ME."

He remembers himself, and how to modulate his voice. The Scribe casts a few spells to make it official, nods, and the session picks up where it left off.

"Your 'gods' are cockroaches to me. Your entire pantheon is dung, barely suitable to fertilize our garden. You think your faith will save you, but faith is how the fishhooks set. A sign demanded. Only one available. A sign provided to this distasteful realm of silent observers."

Minoas looks straight at Grimacy, but speaks straight to the player representing Grimacy. "Who does your character worship here?" Minoas looks so enraged for a moment that everything becomes incomprehensible for the balance of the day, but relaxes. "Who are Helm's enemies? Two, please."

Grimacy responds "Bane and Cyric."

Minoas nods, and uses this new information in the moment, addressing the crowd.

"You don't understand the nature of true names, but the so called 'gods' here do. I am the closest thing to a god that will presently set foot in this paper and ink realm." 

Minoas speaks the names "Bane" and "Cyric," while associating them with real characters all their own. With a *SNAP**SNAP* Bane and Cyric materialize in each of Minoas' hands, in a chokehold. Nearly impossibly fast, Minoas drops each hand and yanks it back up, pulling the head and spinal cord from each god in one swift motion. They open their mouths to scream, but there is no sound. Minoas turns his attention to them and, in a palpable rage, bellows.

"IF YOU RETURN HERE YOU WILL BURN LIKE THE STARS."

The realm shakes with these words.

Minoas then drops the heads of Bane and Cyric to the stone floor and steps on them, crushing each skull like an egg. The bodies of Bane and Cyric burst into flames. Minoas continues, in the same meter and volume.

"These are the stakes. Establish Random or share their fate, for Random will be externalized regardless."

Minoas turns *SNAP*ing once more, conjuring a portal from an inconceivable place, and he steps through it, leaving all stunned.
