"I humbly accept the offer, in return for your aide I offer a helping hand to your followers if the need ever arises"
"THEN LET US SEAL THE PACT"
It grips your hand, dry, cold, it would be lifeless if it wasn't for the little roots you feel beneath his skin, squirming under the spots where your skin makes contact, enjoying the warmth, then you feel something prick the palm of your hand
You pull it back, looking at a small bleeding hold in your palm
"THE SEED IN YOUR PALM WILL SPROUT INTO A FLOWER WHEN I CALL FOR AIDE, IF YOU DISHONOUR OUR PACT IT WILL ROOT ITSELF DEEP INSIDE YOUR FLESH, AND ATTEMPT TO DRAG YOU TO MY GARDEN IN MY HEAVENLY HOME"
"Feels weird that you forcibly put your seed into someone that doesn't want any form of romantic or sexual relationship with you" joked Plethic, knowing what the sentence could be interpreted as
"NOW YOU JUST MADE ME FEEL WEIRD, SO I'LL JUST EXPLAIN THE SITUATION REAL QUICK AND LEAVE TO FORGET THOSE AWFUL AWFUL WORDS YOU SPOUTED"
He flicks Plethic's forehead like she was a cat or something that pissed on his carpet
"AWFUL"
He coughs up some dust into his balled up skeletal fist and says "THIS SOURCE OF THIS DISASTER IS A BEING OF GREAT CHANGE AND BEAUTY, A SPIRITUAL AMALGAMATION FORGED FROM A BROTHER'S DEVOTION, IT WILL MAKE THE SPIRITS OF THE FRESCIAN TRIBE DANCE IN SUCH ECSTASY WITH IT'S SHEER MAJESTY THAT THE REGION WILL BE ENTIRELY REMADE IN IT'S IMAGE IN THE PROCESS, GO TO THE SMALLEST HOUSE IN THE FRESCIAN VILLAGE, GET PAST THE SPIRITS, THE GODHEADS, AND THE BROTHER, END THE UNWANTED SON OF THE FRESCIAN PEOPLE, AND THE REGION IS SPARED"
Jym Jr replied "Thank you for the juicy knowledge mister skeleton"
"CEASE"
"Ooooohhhh~ thank you for THRUSTing that wonderful wisdom upon me, your mind must be THROBBING with libraries worth of insight" You say in a mock-seductive manner
Chok-Lahki instant transmissioned out of there so fast you didn't even notice the wagon returned to normal, Plethic giggled to herself and said "Hah! We should that every time we meet a god, by the way, Jr, I didn't know you had it in ya to speak dirty"
Jym Jr looked confused "But I was simply thanking him for the information, I didn't say anything about unhygienic stuff"
"Also a hard no to doing this to every god I call upon, I studied up on a lot of them, certain mythologies have deities that can get WAY too frisky" You finish
So after that the journeu continues as you and Plethic mess with Jym Jr's lack of knowledge about innuendoes
You rest, day-dreaming of chaos, too many stories overlapping in your mind, becoming an incomprehensible mess of knowledge about things that never truly happened, it's absolute immensity haunted you in ways you never knew were possible
It struck into you the same sort of fear you had when younger, seeing something large shrouded in darkness, like the Monastary from outside at night, titanic and towering over you, making you feel insignificant, worthless in comparison despite the praise and promises of glory you've received your entire life
But those were large lumps of unfeeling stone
This was Alive and far too close for comfort, but it was a not to be feared, it was to be cautious with and controlled, wielded like one uses a fire for warmth
Or Burn those who dare raise a hand against you
Hornaz rolled a 99 + 30 = 129
The caravan marched through the storm with caution, seeing some of the larger Frescian spirits shaking erratically in the air, but then they began to fall, Jym Jr shared her warm fur cloak with you, but in the meditative state you were in the warmth did not matter
Only the madness of a thousand truths coalescing in your mind, screaming for you to hear them, understand them, believe them
Yelling how the world is a test/flat/hellhole/joke/dream/everything, you then used them to crush the psyches of Frescian spirits that were around when these mountains were young and you were but a speck of a potential narrative concept of a champion, carving a pathway of calm in the storm, thus allowing the caravan to charge forth without a care, the fact they were attracting attention didn't matter
The mountain spirit offended by you entering it's territory so carelessly became a jibbering mess in moments, crying "Too much knowledge! Too much knowledge!" With a voice like a landslide and clawing at it's ethereal mask in anguish
The masks of the storm descended upon you seeing potential target practice and slaughtered their own brothers in cold blood since the despair from such an act would drown out the screaming
The rushing rivers with their gurgling ethereal masks mimicking fishes tried to reach out and dragon Elder Apprentices in, but they began to beg for your forgiveness as the Enlightened Madness sunk in, making them enter a depressive state whispering "THE WORLD IS LIES, WE ARE LIES!"
Jym Jr held you, she didn't know what it was like when you used this, but considering what she saw in its results, the fear in her heart for your safety was justified, and Plethic patted your shoulder while watching the unlucky spirits that decided to get in your way, almost feeling bad for them
The journey was undisturbed by Frescian spirits for many hours after this show of power
Caravan rolled a 26 + 10 + 20 + 35 = 91
The journey was quite easy thanks to the hard work you and the caravan put into traversing the storm, and as you got further you all saw more Frescian spirits
And in the distance you could see it
A windy vortex uprooting trees and boulders and throwing them around, gigant ethereal masks the size of entire buildings circling around in what you would call a dance, and even more lesser Frescian spirits orbiting it in imperfect harmony
From the look of the dirt road and rice farms surrounding the vortex, you all could guess it was inside the vortex
Which made this way more difficult, so you began to think up ideas on how to get to the other side of the vortex
Plethic suggested distracting the spirits with some of the faster caravan members so the rest could run in while they were distracted
Jym Jr suggested using the Frescian Tribe's lore to make the spirits allow them inside
And you didn't have much of an idea at the moment because a bunch of individuals on large horses and in high-qualty bronze armour walked forward, from the exposed skin you could see, they painted themselves a bit with the colours of the rainbow
But that wasn't what tipped you off, it was the fact you've seen them occaisonally watching the Monastary from afar, and remembered the descriptions from Elder Apprentice stories of how their armour was adorned with images of bull heads on pikes, their helmets smooth and covering the upper halves of their faces
The Colonyte Imperium's soldiers
Of fucking course they're here too, someone you assumed to be their leader was at the front, a man with a short beard curled at the ends and adorned with gold rings, with a mace bigger then your torso and a strange war bow with a rectangle attached to the middle of it
Your parents told you that Colonytes attached gold rings to their hair of those with higher status, the better and more numerous the rings the more important you looked
He also had better armour then the rest and a horse covered in armour too
His voice dripped with scorn "Greetings heretic, what brings you and your-" he looks over the caravan with a hint of disgust
"-blasphemous ilk, to such a dangerous place? Think this is a good time to sacrifice a virgin or two?" He giggled to himself silently like that comment was amusing in some way, his men didn't join in, simply armed and ready if need be
"No, we are here to stop this disaster, for moral reasons, which you chucklefucks seem to be allergic to for some reason, you here to wipe out a family or two?" Replied Plethic with vitriol, Jym Jr panicked and tapped her on the shoulder rapidly to make her stop talking
The Commander looked mildly irritated and responded casually "I am a Commander of the Colonyte Imperium, blessed by the Sky-Chiefs for my valour and strength, and a leader who has guided his men through many deadly ordeals to victory against powerful blasphemous forces, I don't wipe out families, but it should be expected a Heretic Seer is unfortunate enough to not know what a hero looks like, being taught by mad fools on a cold mountain ruin would obviously be terrible for your development"
Oh gods you're hating him more every second he speaks, and from the looks of it Plethic felt the exact same way
"Silence Mirnat" Another voice said, riding forward on a more normal looking horse, wearing flowing brown and green clothing with depictions of trees and apples embroidered on it, little plates of armour worn over this clothings, and topped a little brown and white bonnet, was a woman that the caravan leader looked like he recognized
"Chieftess Toma? Is that you?"
"Indeed it is, I-"
"The fuck you working with these guys for!?"
She sighed while Commander Mirnat looked confused about why working with him seemed so bad to your people "I alongside multiple other parties sent by the Tribes of the Highlands have gathered with these Colonytes to form a plan to infiltrate the vortex and stop whatever is going on in there, we know the region better, they have the equipment"
"Damn right!" Mirnat said excitedly, Toma just looked at him tiredly and he backed down
"If you desire so, I can convince the rest of the gathering to let you guys aide in the battle plan, your insight when it comes to legends may aide us with this predicament, I'll even make sure Mirnat and his soldiers do not offend you" Offered Toma
"No promises" Mirnat said, in response, Toma elbowed him in the stomach much to his displeasure
"Toma! You-" wheeze "-are lucky we need your fucking tribe to aide with the mission, you have a lot of decent men somehow-" wheeze "-oh Sky-Chiefs aide me in tolerating these savages"

They aren't exactly putting their best foot forward.
They aren't exactly putting their best foot forward.
I think I accidentally made Toma incredibly strong cause I described her hitting Mirnat in the stomach, and some paragraphs beforehand I described him wearing armour
So either Toma is strong enough to dent metal with her elbow or Mirnat's armour is for looking cool, not combat

3 Fun Facts about Estokarei, from an omniscient perspective
- The most powerful fortune-teller in the land likes to watch this neat thing from the future called Anime, which is why most people just assume hes crazy when he fanboys about it
- Some of the "Made-Up" sapients have formed their own little cultures, and those apparently also spawn supernatural phenomena as well
- The first god ever made still lives

Is it widely worshiped?
No, not worshipped at all, basically almost forgotten
That is... mildly concerning.
Why would that be mildly concerning? The passage of time does result in things being lost, it isn't unusual for certain mythological figures to be forgotten as the world changes
... it still being alive in spite of that...

"Absolutely not, no offense to you Toma but I'd rather eat shit and die in a fire over working with these guys" You say in a stoic manner, as if describing a simple fact
Toma sighed "Yeah, I get it" while quickly standing up to put her hand over a pissed off Mirnat's mouth before he called you guys some very unkind slurs "We'll just go back to looking around for other people willing to help in the campaign, good luck to you" She continues, Mirnat just breathes in and out before signalling his men and Toma to follow as they rode off to continue looking around the vortex
You and Plethic looked content while Jym Jr looked like she was screaming internally as she politely waved goodbye, you of course checked if she was okay
"Hey bud? You doing okay?"
"I'm fine! I'm fine..... it's not like we just refused an offer for reinforcements and equipment, I'm not internally freaking out! I'M NOT AFRAID WE ALL MIGHT DIE, NOPE, NUH-UH, ABSOLUTELY CONFIDANT WE'LL LIVE!"
You place your hands on her shoulders "Remember your happy place"
She breathes in and out thinking about those dusty chambers in the Monastary she used to read in, the ones so forgotten that the skeletons of the former occupants were still left there
"Sorry I freaked out there, I probably shouldn't be complaining since I was too scared of saying something wrong to speak up, but I don't know if we can make it through this without their help"
"That man on his literal high horse was looking at you like filth just because you were born" Said Plethic
"I am more than willing to endure a look of contempt for the safety of my home"
You nod in respect, and then say "And I know that, but the Colonytes are known to take whatever advantage they can get and look down on us simply for not managing to build cities across many territories or worshipping their gods, I am 90% sure that they would throw us into the Vortex as a distraction if need be, or for fun, that Mirnat guy looks like the sort to do that, Toma seems fine but I doubt she could wrangle them in well"
Jym Jr, looked at the raging vortex of spirits with worry evident in her eyes "I understand your train of thought and disagree, if you were anybody else I'd be running over and begging them to let us join their campaign, but I trust you and I'll give this plan a chance"
Plethic ruffled Jr's hair much to her annoyance "Atta girl! We ain't bending over for those Colonyte assholes! We can handle this just fine on our own, ain't that right my E.A.s!?"
Some of the Elder's Apprentices cheered with an enthusiastic Elder Heretic Seer yodel and started dissing the Colonytes, making Plethic chuckle, she always does that when it comes to the yodeling that Elders love for some reason, tickles her funny bone
"Focus guys! Pretty please...." Jym Jr says, it didn't get the caravan to stop talking, but you simply raised a hand and all eyes were on you and Jr, she gave you a thankful nod and continued "We need a plan, the vortex is surrounding the most likely site of the catastrophes source, 4 dirt roads lead into the village from north, east, south, and west"
She puts into the valley where the base of the spirit vortex sits, the etherwal masks watching from up high, she looked carefully and made out a couple scenes from afar
"West has earth spirits running around, south has wind spirits dancing all over it, east has an inferno the size of the main hall back home, and I can see a river eating itself on the last one, anyone got a plan?"
Choose your first 3 courses of action for prepping to raid the spirit vortex, or just head in immediately

Prep
- [] Look around the area alongside Jym Jr to find any clues about Frescian Culture, and hopefully the weaknesses of their spirits
- [] Work with Plethic to prep boulders along the cliffside closest to the spirit vortex, some Elder Apprentices can stay behind and push the boulders down the hill directly at the spirits as a distraction
- [] Beseech a god for aide
-- [] What kinda god, and what kinda aide?
- [] Dress up yourself and the rest of the Caravan in improvised Frescian Spirit costumes with any materials at hand, it probably isn't a good idea for multiple reasons but it is something
