text
can we chat?
about what happened with the relic
if you're free for it
sorry I'm late to this
[ Only to Merle is Archie the "big guy." ]
blocks and bans
i hope it's okay doing it over text
just
did anyone else survive being possessed by one?
i mean
i know i didn't technically survive, but i'm back and i remember it. so.
no subject
you're one of the only ones to come out the other side unchanged, though.
one relic, the Gaia Sash, was being used by a half-elf battlewagon racer named Sloane.
we tried to get it from her, along with the help of her girlfriend, Hurley.
in the end, it turned the both of them into dryads.
no subject
i'm sorry you guys couldn't save them.
i just
i don't know
i try so hard to pretend like i'm fine after what happened because it "wasn't me" but it honestly gets harder to differentiate every day
[...]
i wish i didn't remember what happened
no subject
if I had a Modify Memory spell, I'd offer to help you out, but I think we both know that's not a good idea.
you've gotta remember the bad stuff in your life, so you can appreciate the good stuff more.
no subject
[he'll let that drop for now. doesn't really want to talk about people turning into trees?]
i want to say i know
but this specifically...
i don't understand how remembering killing all my friends under an influence is helping
no subject
so that you'll never fall prey to people or things that want to use you for evil again.

2/2
Re: 2/2
[even if another one appears... he trusts magnus to have learned.]
but what else?
i still can't go to maurtia falls without someone wanting to punch me
nothing i did really helped
no subject
(there's still mixed feelings about us in Phandlin.)
all you can do is do your best and live with your mistakes.
besides
you don't wanna go to Maurtia Falls that much anyway.
it's kind of a shithole.
no subject
yeah, believe me, i have enough mistakes i'm trying to learn from
i just don't know how to learn from this one, i guess
no subject
the lesson ain't always clear, at first.
sometimes it takes time to sink in.
Maybe the lesson was to be more careful not to give into temptation?
no subject
from relics you CAN'T resist?
how do you and the others resist them?
no subject
it's a long story. we're sort of ...immune to their thrall.
no subject
no-one's explained it yet.
HERE WE GO
There are seven grand relics.
and there were seven of us, who created them.
no subject
right
no subject
I'm sure if we did, we never would've done what we did, and spread them out across the world.
there's more to the story, but it's not really mine to tell.
no subject
why did you make them?
no subject
we were being chased, by something horrible
Over and over, it would come to a new world, looking for a powerful force called the Light of Creation, and it would tear the world apart in its search
killing everything and everyone
we decided to split the Light of Creation into seven parts, seven relics. to stop the thing chasing us from getting it.
Now, don't go talking to the others about this, Especially Lucretia. it;s kind of a sore subject.
no subject
[this is too much for him, and he regrets asking. it makes sense why the relic wanted him to use it's power so much, though, if that's what it originated from.]
why did it end up so dangerous, though? why did it made me hurt people?
no subject
it wants to be used.
makes people crave it. Hunger for it.
it's a powerful thing. hard to control, hard to predict.
