Draiss rolled his eyes, not noticeable to anyone else in the room, and the elf would feel it more than see, since Draiss was behind him.<em>And I hate many things, but I don't let it define me. They chose to let their hatred define them, and now they are as rabid animals, good for little besides being put down. Hopefully you can pull them back, otherwise... Well, the constructs are all armed with up close and personal weapons for a reason.</em><br/><br/>He stepped forward, and stared at the assembly for a moment, before nodding to himself. "Alright, short, sweet and simple. Some of you seem to hold the idea that dark is evil, and anything that touches it deserves to die, horribly, preferably so you can laugh and piss on their dying bodies. Sadly, this is no longer the case, and something... else has noticed that its taints are being exterminated. It doesn't care about how the tainted individuals are dying, or that the entire settlement is dying with them, but divines from other planes DO, and have noticed the atrocities happening here. Currently, they are in the 'wait and see' phase, but that won't last much longer. Especially once they realize that your taints give most of you powers COMPARABLE to gods yourselves.<br/><br/>Before you get big headed, note I said comparable, not equal. In a one on one fight with a similar power rating to any of you, you would lose, hands down. Against someone like me, that is equal to your benefactor, you all have no chance. Not a taunt, merely an observation, so the dark skinned woman with the skunk stripe and hazel eyes can settle down. Currently, the other divines see you all as about as evil as a mortal can be without spontaneously turning into a demon.<br/><br/>However, the astute among you have noticed that I originally said that something... else has noticed its taints are vanishing. The less said on that the better, but if it felt you were a genuine threat to its plans, this plane would already be another Limbo Plane. I am here to prevent either this or the other gods from having to take direct action. Usually because if the gods take action, continents disappear. If the Else takes action, planes tend to disappear. Though the gods would likely not enjoy having to direct that much power to wipe out a bunch of terrorists and militia."<br/><br/>He sent a thought to the elf, letting it know that the Else he mentioned had actually not noticed its taints vanishing, probably, but it was better to overstate the situation so if it later turned out to be true, they would have been warned. The gods part, however, was true, and he knew of several adventuring parties getting ready to come over, as well as three contracts on specific patrol leaders taken up with the Union Assassin's Guild. No one had yet to find the elf, other than him, but once they did, and they figured out that killing the elf would kill the patrols...<br/><br/>He didn't finish the thought, not figuring he needed to. It was a scary multiplanarverse out there, and these morons had damn near brought it in screaming for blood.
