You Sea Dogs are just another failed attempt at ending me. To date, none have. It does bother me that you've ruined my plans in establishing the Monastery as another sanctuary of evil. It bothers me so much that I'm sure you recognized my gift of the Sabosian's.
I've started to do research upon you. It's interesting hearing upon your travel within the Keep on the Borderlands. It seems you were competing against other groups. Hmmmmm? I wonder if the other groups would be interested in eliminating the ones that were victorious? I also hear there was a dragon. I've not confirmed this, but dragons never forget.
Now, I will offer a "sending spell" to your leader Kylor. If he proclaims his word on his god and your survival that your dealings with me are over, I shall also let it be. I have no qualms with you except if you continue to harass me in my endeavors.
Let us end our antagonistic ways but it all depends on you.
KYLOR: YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT RECEIVES THE SENDING MESSAGE ABOVE.
Desicus Speaks:
I don't care for you Kylor and that is probably because you act as I do. The difference is you don't realize and accept it as I have.
You appoint a 2nd in command only to give him no power. You play him like a puppet, and he foolishly accepts it, so I give him no comment as he is worthless.
You have an elf, oh no sea elf. I typically don't travel the waters of the Deacon so this one must battle me on land as I will never adventure in his. Let his flippers flounder.
Then there is a paladin who has re-joined. Embarrassing as he left and has now returned for redemption against an enemy which whipped his ass to make himself right and feel better. How sad is that? He cannot abide by his true direction and simply seeks to regain his own personal morale compass by traveling to the Abyss to defeat me. He could have continued his true following and repent in prayer.
Oh, wait did I forget one? If I did it's because they are so worthless I have nothing to say.
Once again, I await you and assure you death. You have no idea what you are walking into as it is nothing like you did before as this time, I plan to destroy you as before I was simply antagonizing.
Beluri Speaks:
You think you know my beloved Desicus, but you do NOT know me. My anger of threatening harm to my beloved rises with each word. You do not know anything about me and will find out when you arrive. We anxiously await your arrival. No deals will be offered this time as all will die and suffer in eternal torture here in the abyss. You are in no way as excited as I am for your arrival! I will make the abyss fire brim with acid, cold, fog, hail stones and death as my beloved Desicus can do as well.
We shall combine our strength and unite with each magical attack upon you. We shall be one in battle doubling the power of every spell, magical entity and ability you face.
You have NO CHANCE! I wait impatiently as I wish for Desicus to rise to what he wishes, and your elimination will make it occur more quickly.
We have so many unexpected things prepared for you. Too many to express but they are devasting!
Desicus Speaks:
You are fools Sea Hags. As you ponder your opportunity against me, I plan my defense. Move away, do other things, gain wealth and allow me to grow as a Demon Lord taking the lives of ones which you have no connection to. You have no care for these so why bother? Risk your lives in an overwhelmingly unfavorable battle for ones which are irrelevant, I'd ask why?
Move on now and I may let you journey with no repercussions as thanks for allowing me to be unbothered by your silly attempts! They annoy me! If you continue Guppies I have so much in store for you!
And if not, aware Guppies are freshwater fish, so my intellectual statement was that you are moving into waters that do not cater to your survival.
DM Speaks:
If Briggledebumm Boppisox was with the group, I believe the Sea Dogs would have achieved victory.
🤣
Desicus Speaks:
Desicus Speaks: Dogs, I am still here on the Abyss in glory. I've been quiet for some time due to my work, but my major endeavor has been completed. That means it's time for my frivolous, extraneous endeavors which is harassing you. Why? It's simple! I like seeing you scramble and fear under my wake.
In a way my success over you is unfortunate as my delight in embarrassing and humiliating you may come to an end as you cower in the dark. Regardless at some point recognize and accept you will die by my hand.
The furnaces burn so hot here and the moans of ecstasy and pain above are a delight. My hell is what you'd call your heaven. I have now consumed the lives of 103 innocent individuals all feeding my strength and soul. This will continue as to reach my ultimate goal I must continue to "feed" and you Dogs can and will do nothing about it I'm sure.
Take heed of the suffering innocents I torment for my personal pleasure. They float and twist in my abyssal game with each being informed that if they are the last survivor I'll let them go. Of course, I never do!
Look and now see my torment of these innocent souls on the Abyss (below is what you see in your minds)!
Desicus & Beluri Speak:
Beluri Speaks: Ah, Sea Dogs kisses to all. Adventure, find stuff, grow strong but you are nothing.
Desicus Speaks: Don't communicate with them my love. They think I'm gone from their lives! I'm never gone until I've completed my dead - the death of all!
Beluri Speaks: Very well. And when shall this happen?
Desicus Speaks: When it is ripe.
Desicus Speaks:
Embarrassment - YES?
Shall I define the word or just allow you to play out your attempt to destroy me in your mind?!
You have lost, been embarrassed and now unsettled. You know in your hearts you will never attempt such a foolish act again! You are afraid, are cowards and would never reattempt such a suicidal act. I know this!
However, to your disappointment you will see me again. You came to my home in the Abyss so I've decided that I'll visit you. Oh, I may send others, but I'm sure when I have the time, I will be there to visit maybe with my beloved Beluri! I shall take pleasure in making your lives more miserable than they are now until you are dead!
You fools don't recognize "I AM THE ABYSS"
I AM DESICUS - Your Worst Nightmare who is a demon and soon Demon Lord!
I've transformed since your defeat and now am close to a demon lord. However, regardless of me, I will harass and hunt you. Your life will never see peace!
Does it not embarrass you that so many in your party accepted my offer. You Sea Dogs can never trust one another dealing with me or any other.
Desicus Speaks:
Pure enjoyment and dark bloodthirsty ecstasy!
I've given 2 groups precise location as to where I am. Neither has accepted my invitation. Cowards!
I'll give the same to the next 2 groups on my strength hierarchy, as this is fun to see the cowards shutter when an invitation is given to battle something they know they cannot defeat!
I'm quite curious to see who, if any accept? I'd gather none as all allow me to do what evil I do!
The "good folk" of Krinthius allow all to do what they want! I WILL!
Desicus Speaks:
In your minds you hear his mocking!
"Have you not checked on your loved ones? No, need as they are ALL dead. So easily accomplished with hired hands which act as simple merchants but are much more deadly than that. There were not many but stop your family search as any that you did not know I DID, and they are now gone.
Why? I simply take delight in torment. Oh, don't feel bad, you are one of a few that I have played my game with. Of the three I feel you may be in the middle of the pack with what I've done.
I now have minions, allies and my beloved on the Abyss. YES, the Abyss. However, the ones that work for me are so powerful and following that I can now rest in the hot suburbs of the Abyss in delight while I grow in power.
Do not fret as you are no longer a concern, but I do like antagonizing knowing you had a chance way back when and FAILED!
I will play my games with you when the mood strikes, and I'd guess one of my games will eventually kill you!
The heat here is lovely and is burning my red a nice dark, crisp maroon! My love likes my crispy fiery look and enjoys my ploy with you!
DM Speaks:
Tonight, I bought a really awesome, sexy mini for your ultimate encounter with Desicus.
Maybe Desicus has an unknown sexy physique beneath those robes or is it something else?
"Beluri, what would you care to do today? I've seen some elven adventurers plane shifting here a short while ago. Would you care to make their arrival a blood lust for us?
I'm heading back to the Prime Material Plane shortly so before my departure let us bathe in the blood of these fools.
I've identified 3 temples which I'd like to visit. I will bring back a body part from each of the head clerics for us to feast upon when I return. I am here my seductive demoness with whatever you need. Prepare for our next feast and I will make you the goddess you desire"
Desicus Speaks:
It is almost over! The gods of goodness shall slowly fall offering me their service. The first gone is the old weak dwarven God Torog! The LAST stronghold for his life is Hearthhome. However, there is no need to topple a kingdom such as this as they will waddle inside with the loss of their god which will soon be recognized. The next is the frivolous elven god - Correlon! Such enjoyment when I desecrate the dancing "twigs"!
I am Desicus - the NEW God of ALL!
Desicus Speaks:
I thought I'd allow you to know that Patriarch Tepricious is no longer. He spoke too much, and I am the only one that speaks for what I do. His body has been desecrated and partially eaten! It was less than savory so only a portion was with the rest being fed to the dogs of the abyss! I AM NO BISHOP as the fool stated!
I am simply Desicus!
Tepricious Speaks through your Minds:
You may not know me, but the great Bishop Desicus has asked me to make an introduction. I have been anointed his 2nd in command. It took me time and evidence to show I had his ideas in mind but after my evidence of slaughter and toppling of small helpless prayer locations I was offered to be his Patriarch. You may call me Patriarch Tepricious and my life is given to protect the great Bishop Desicus. We are now searching for 2 Cardinals of our faith, but 1 identified has to pass the test first! Bishop Desicus sends his regards and says you are far too late for any challenge of him and our faith! In the end every church and faith shall eventually fall to the great Bishop Desicus.
The reason for this communication is to ask if you'd like to join or fall if not?
Desicus - Update and Words Heard in Your Mind:
"I am reading you a local paper which outlines events within and around its community. It is very unfortunate and sad I'd gather in some minds. I find it enlightening as you've allowed it to happen. Here's the reading:
"The Town of Bribax lays in ruin as a devasting reign of magic was unleashed upon it for some unknown reason"
"A small community of elves was magically laid to rest with all inhabitants killed. Who or what was responsible for this is unknown as well as the reason"
"A small coastal community was brought to ruin as the shore waters raised to enormous levels destroying all homes and killing most"
I grow much stronger with these devastating life taking events through my god. Each event awards me and I send these messages to antagonize you as I do grow bored with the lack of defense against my actions.
Taladel speaks:
My plan is to go to the temple of Calistria and confront and defeat Desicus. If he is not there and has moved on to another target I will look for leads and see where it brings me
I understand the need for unity in achieving our goals. but Kylor you answered your own point. You stated the goodness of our world and defeating this threat is not important to you and you will not risk your life.
So how united could we be in this?
No one is really required to join me. I will go on foot if I have to. I will find others who share my beliefs. Others who worship the good gods that were mentioned...You make your own choices...but I am off after the competiton..
Another temple toppled. One dedicated to Calistria!
Ohh snap. Let's see what happens now. But we all know, in game, mike has used a trump.
ALL QUIET ON THE DESICUS FRONT, but who really cares?
What can this evil individual be up to?
Stealing from the poor, draining positive energy from innocents, recruiting ones to join and establish his next church, establishing an evil church, or imbibing a good meal, drink and enjoying life!
Why should you Sea Dogs even care?😂
Kylor Responds
SeaDogs, thank you for your input ... this is how I responded to Desicus. We need to now be ready and united in our task of dealing with Desicus. The SeaDogs and I have already had this agreement with you in place. You violated our agreement that was in place by sending the Sabosians. The SeaDogs and I voted not to interfere and pursue you and that your doings were no longer our concern. It was not our place to stop you and we were going to leave this to others of goodness to deal with. However, your violation of our agreement has shown us that you cannot be trusted and that your word means nothing. Trust me when I say that if you seek a fight with the SeaDogs then the SeaDogs will be more than willing to give you the fight you seek. just remember you did this, you are the one who violated our agreement. We need to now be ready and united in our task of dealing with Desicus.
