*Cut with Drakan. one of my characters is called that too lol*
"Understandable of their part. One of the few things that is."
*erm, actually, it’s Draken. And I find the name thing funny as well.*
Mushisama lets out a short sigh. “I can understand that logic for many of the ones who were more… active in mortal lives. In fact, I too have my qualms with the sun. However, not all of them were that idiotic, or at least present enough to be.”
"I was always in the darkness, claiming the souls of those who worshiped them. I guess I simply never saw them as anything but enemies." Kavalos looks up into the dark sky.
“Ah. The night and darkness fell under Frella’s domain. She is not the worst I’ve met, but she certainly is the most distant. Her followers often committed atrocities in her name yet she hardly knew of them. No wonder you saw them… us, as that.”
Kavalos' insectile head snaps downward. "Us?"
Mushisama now points one of their four limbs up at the headless statue he sits at the base of. It is posed as if forced to bow and, if Mushisama were human, looks quite similar to him. “That used to be me. I was banished for a reason I was not told, but I do have many theories on which of my actions led to so.”
"So you... WERE a god?" Kavalos replies, tilting his head.
*Waiit since Mushisama was a Smorgasbord god... Could The Endless Dark be an extension of the Smorgasverse?*
“Yes. The ruler of the material was my title. Though I preferred soul of life more.”
*Maybe, but I imagine this as a prequel to the Smorgasbord*
"If you are the soul of life, I am the soul of death. If I was not restricted by certain rules I go by, I would kill you." Kavalos scuttles to the side, giving Mushisama a full view of his insectile, bone-covered body.
Mushisama finally looks up from his work, his unblinking false eyes of light staring into Kavalos’s soul. “If you plan to slay all of the divine, your threats do not concern me. I am no longer of my people, and in all honesty I would prefer it that way. I only miss 5 of the many higher souls. I only worry of what happens in the material without my knowledge.”
Kavalos' soul is made up of the souls of a LOT of other people. His own soul is small and insignificant by comparison. "I would slay any true god that crosses my path. But you, Ruler of Material, do not fall into the category. Not anymore." Kavalos straightens up. "I am Kavalos, by the way."
Mushisama puts down the shard of glass and rises, his legs unfolding from below him. With their assistance, he stands just above Kavalos’ height. He reaches with a gloved hand. “I am Mushisama, and this is my colony.”
Kavalos takes the hand carefully with one spiked limb. "Good to meet you."
“You as well, soul of death Kavalos. If you ever find a way to escape and have the deities at your feet, which I personally find near impossible, I would care to ask them a few question before the final blow is struck.”

Hi! I'm EJO. I am a silly billy who forgets to play Genshin Impact every day and totally DOESN'T simp for at least three different ninja girls. Some other facts about me:
Milio has been ditched. Now Xerath is my friend.
My average accuracy in Marvel Rivals is about 15%.
They can see Mushisama sitting (how would one with a centipede leg structure sit?) at the base of his statue, a shard of glass in hand which he is using to slice the vines of a Shambling Mound’s corpse into small pieces.
They can see Malrick sitting next to Mushisama. Talking casually.
Drakan stomps up to Malrick. "I have come to the attention that you are holding a party near here. I was hoping to get in?"
"Hello Drakan! Of course, I will invite you. You just need to swear that you will cause no conflict while there."
"Of course not. I am going primarily to find allies for a quest which has nothing to do with you, or your master."
"My master? I have no master, I am the leader of an alliance. You said you wanted to find allies for a quest, what is this quest?"
Giratina stops flying, and drops 10 feet before rushing further forward. The cabaret is in sight now.
Malrick makes another opportunity attack and dashes again. Attack: 32 Damage: 25
"For example, you don’t provoke an opportunity attack if an explosion hurls you out of a foe’s reach or if gravity causes you to fall past an enemy."
*straight from the PHB*
Giratina puts on a final burst of speed, almost reaching the cabaret.
*You dashed, which provokes opportunity attacks. You were not moved against your will and there is no current abilities that cause forced movement at the moment.*
EDIT: Oops I read the wrong post, but it still applies. Dropping 10 ft is willful movement and technically in dnd terms, when you stop using your fly speed you instantaneously fall at a rate of 500 ft per round. Any controlled falling is using your fly speed, which provoked opportunity attacks, as well as you willfully falling.

*Thank you Cyno, I've been trying to tell him that. Do you also think we should have roll for how close we are to the Cabaret? We didn't state it beforehand, and in this case is a get out of a bad choice card.*

*I’m an impartial observer so I can just set the distance if you would prefer that. I’d probably say like 500 ft.*

"I do not want to kill you. Surrender, I'm begging you."
Malrick looks pained to be doing this, he truly wants Giratina to surrender. Persuasion 31
*Gonna intervene here and say it'd probably be better to just let Dragon choose*
*Oh ok, Is there a particular reason?*
*Persuasion and such is generally for NPCs in my opinion. Rolling for it and letting that be the only factor is basically saying "I rolled this, the story goes my way now."*
