"See, I think you misunderstand: there are no gods here. All that divine power? Gone. and not being able to die isn't something special here. And trust me, killing you is the least of our options. Stripping you of your gear, especially those night vision goggles, would be a lot more effective than just letting you reappear somewhere else."
"Fascinating." the man opens the trap holding his leg and walks towards the kobold. "And i suppose im supposed to be afraid of you?"
He shrugs. "Not really. I'm no titan. But you really should be being more careful right now."
The man feels a sudden stinging in his leg. A sharp wire was pulled taught, slashing cleanly through his knee. Also, yet more acid.
"I'm not really all that dangerous."
Another loud shot as a large, enchanted lead ball passes through the man's other knee, destroying the joint.
"But we had a bit of time to prepare."
The man looks down as his legs start to regrow. he then laughs. "Oh this is rich."
"It really is. You see, you're not from this place. This place hates people like you. Ironbloods. Outsiders."
His legs begin to grow twisted and mangled. They rapidly rot and fall apart and split open as they grow, eyes staring out at him.
"This entire dimension is designed to torment the powerful. Those who abuse their powers. It messes up sometimes. You really sure you don't want some tea?"
"dont have any blood mate. And id rather not hurt people. plus i use my powers for the good."
"Ironblood just means someone without silver or golden blood. And, as I said, this place messes up sometimes. But maybe pointing guns at the natives, who have lived here longer than you, wasn't a smart idea." The kobold begins to walk away. "By the way, if you're still here in three hours, I don't care how much any death god favors you, you will die eventually. You'll come back like everyone else, but you will die. Well, you might come back. The Harvester doesn't like tea much either."

This mortal body is expendable, I will be released from my binding soon.
The door opens quietly as a young man with fair, almond colored skin, bright orange eyes, and scraggly brown hair walks inside. He is dressed in a brown over coat, a brown waist jacket, white dress shirt, brown trousers, and brown boots. All of his clothes are stained in dark crimson blood, the smell almost suffocating. He hobbles over to a table and collapses into it.
The barkeep looks over. "Can ya keep the smell down?"
