Good, I'll actually let Elerian take the lead on this one since he still has to respond to Mad-Dog's presence. So if you want to add any introductory dialogue, or address one of those present, feel free to do so.

And, minor note, we're outside of the Keep in front of its gates.

If so, it's highly impractical. However, I would imagine not, since there are still Elder Gods that have not been worshiped in ages. Don't try.

You will not single handedly kill the tens of thousands, if not millions, of people who worship any of the deities so the point is relatively moot.

If you mean to kill a bunch of followers of Mauros then save your breath. There are tens if not hundreds of thousands who worship him.

A long crusade with many of the forces of darkness backing me as I continue to wage war on those who worship him until they fear to even think his name is what I was planning to do and since I'm immortal I could technically do it. So I ask again is it possible?

You're killing his/her followers. I highly believe they can intervene if they so wish.

I doubt the torturer god one of you guys came up with would have millions of followers.

I suppose they wouldn't in any affair aside from this one.
Up to Elerian, however.

Under my command? No, I will not be giving you that many forces. If anything, I'll be the one killing Mauro.

If you're going to go on again about how you have plans after I die, forget about me answering the question.

Edit: If you won enough forces over for that to become a significant threat, the Overlord himself would have declared war on you as a threat to his reign as well.

Said god has ways of getting rid of people. It would still indirectly influence mortals but it could be done.

I mean from making my own army through necromancy and orcs and various parts of your forces. They'd still be under your command I'd just be serving you and the price would be Mauro's destruction whether by your hand or mine.

It could weaken them, I suppose. But not kill. As you mention, there are still Elder Gods who are alive despite being largely forgotten by mortals. While hypothetically it could be possible to kill gods and such, for the purposes of this RP, I would just assume that for player characters it is not a possibility. And certainly not through just killing worshipers.

And it would be a lot of wasted effort.

Huh, that's funny. Because raising an impossibly large army to slaughter practically every individual who worships a deity so YOU CAN KILL A GOD also sounds just a tad like god modding, doesn't it?
