So first off, sentient weapons are both amazing and hilarious. Elegant’s sword apparently doesn’t like him, which I find greatly amusing. I also discovered that Mortalis can just go in and out of physical existence merely by thinking about the scythe. But best of all (actually, and worst of all, given the two subjects of the matter) - Mortalis is awkward about sexuality. I have no idea why. But this great and terrible, powerful patron gets awkward when he has to talk about sex. I need to log that information away for later - might be useful. Not sure how.
However, that brings me to the worst part about that conversation - apparently DENORAVIL IS SLEEPING WITH MY MOTHER. Gods. Why did this have to get even more complicated than it already was? Though, I will admit, I do find it interesting that I just somehow never came up in their conversations with each other? Because I have to imagine it’s going to be a problem that my mother desperately wants to keep me alive to be her legacy pawn, and Denoravil by his own admission, desperately wants me dead by his own hand.
I tried to convince people to join me in killing my mother, when we go to her house. I don’t know that it worked all that well. Zun, thank goodness, was willing to join me, but Elegant and Corin were less inclined. I don’t know where Mud stands. I just don’t know how to convey to them that she can’t be left alive. She’s already done so much wrong. Killing her is a mercy to not only the poor people she has direct influence over, but literally the world. And I just need them to see that.
The first part of the trap for Denoravil was set today. The fakes for Zun and I were arrested and taken to the temple to stand trial. I know at least one Cult member was there, since I recognized his ugly face from my time at the guard house. I’m a little concerned about their ability to catch Denoravil though, given that we already knew he was powerful, and Mortalis told me tonight that he’s actually powerful enough to be a patron himself. Yikes. We shall see what happens. I really wish we could be there for both things, but saving my father and Chompy’s family, and then killing my mother, definitely takes precedence.
