"You know, there are enough gods here to start the Ragnarok all by yourselves."  A cerulean haired man named Jerion said to his mistress.  He was one of a pair of twins, but his counterpart, while present, was undetectable to all but the most discerning of magical evaluation.  He was inside a staff held by the chilling grip of the man called The Forbidden One.  For them Teleportation was the method of transport.<br/><br/>Caligula Bathory perhaps stood out the most. At over 25 ft tall his current concern was fitting inside with everyone else.  But even among such an eccletic group of, almost naked, men the veiled female in their presance commanded attention. It was the God-Queen Astaroth. She claimed that she was a direct avatar of thr goddess, not an imbued mortal; That their thoughts and will were one and the same. Some might wonder how true the claim was, but they didn't do it where she or her servants could hear them.<br/><br/>So one of their cities, Gheldaketh, was sacked and *this* time it wasn't her. For such an  orderly deity, Astaroth could be quite capricious and fickle.  The whole thing and it's up front and brutal nature seemed more Gilgeams style. She would have suspected him too if there wasn't a complete lack of motive. So perhaps it was an enemy of Unther as a whole.<br/><br/>Astaroth's body was the epitome of female beauty and she displayed it well, though not quite as much as the men with her did. It might seem odd that she would cover her face but most in Unther knew the reason for that by now. Those that didn't got a big clue by the deep green serpents she had for hair. Truth was she could control the deadly effects of her gaze even without the veil, but she seldom bothered.<br/><br/>"If our enemies are being so bold we will have to increase our defensive measures. More seige weapons would be nice, but I think they would be a far greater deterrant if they were magical." Astaroth said to the Forbidden One. It was he who was in charge of such things. His defensive strategies were magnificent and few could match his ability to craft items of magical power. If given time and resources he could no doubt create some engines of destruction that would lay waste to entire armies and their commanders.<br/><br/>"The craftsmen who make the traps and weapons of sabatoge for us are not the most creative sort. They are behind schedule and I believe it's not lack of skill but lack of direction on what to make." Jerion said. The Theomilitairy of Astaroth relied heavily on subversion and defense.  It had worked so far, keep the enemies main force baching their heads against an indestructible wall and have elite commando units sneak around to plant traps, destroy their siege engines, strike vulnerable areas then vanish once more.  Before every battle they would sneak around planting trip wires, covering pit traps, and creating magical hazards which would slow down or eliminate the attacking force.<br/><br/>"Than direct them. Any of you three are smart enough to do that, just keep in mind the larger it is or longer it takes to set up the harder it is to employ. What can't be seen can't be countered." Astaroth said, playing with a bulging vein on her son's obscenely large cock. It almost dragged on the ground which made it bigger then most full grown men. Forbidden One's parts were enlarged and displayed, through not as proportionately large as Caligula's. There were quite a few Eunuchs under Astarpth but it was obvious none of them were the men with her today.<br/><br/>As far as the big topic at hand she had to wonder why it should remain a mystery for long. She was not a goddess of magic directly, but she was one of the most magically inclined among the God-Kings, and possibly *the* most magically inclined of them even. Astaroth uncorked a bottle of unholy water to desecrate the area around her in preparation for a brief ritual. 'Who attacked Gheldaketh' was the question and the answer would hopefully be forthcomming.<br/><br/><br/>OOC: Astaroth Casts Desecrate, then uses Universal Spirit Magic to cast Identify Transgressor.<br/>'Who attacked Gheldaketh' is the question, of course.
