Well, wound...she's already dead.

Of course, if she comes into the Abyss....that would be dangerous for. But otherwise on the planes of men/orcs, if she's killed she'll just pop back to Tierhallen. It would be very difficult to kill her there, what with all the avatars, archons and Tiernon himself.

In the Abyss...well then, we have homefield advantage and you know the saying. "What happens in the Abyss, stays in the Abyss."

We've had that saying trademarked for several thousand years. It's one of the best reasons to visit us. Although I am hearing disturbing rumors that some 'Courts of Chaos' wanna be city in the middle of a desert on some podunk low-mana world out near the fringes of reality has been violating our trademakr.

This is an idea that I doubt Tom would come up with by himself, but I could easily believe the D'orcs recommended to him.Tommus has an Incubus working for him, and followers that literally worship him in multiple planes. He should have Reggie do whatever it is that he does, to impregnate someone with someone else's kids, hopefully, it is just taking a bit of animus, if it is more detailed I don't wnat to here about it. But he should have Reggie get an orc or two in each clan pregnant with Tom's kids. The orcs would love, it, Tom's kids would be some of their strongest warriors, plus, THEY WORSHIP HIM. Once again, I don't think Tom would ever think of this , but I think the D'orcs would consider it an awesome idea.


Also, I would find it hilarious, if in the middle of this, while still carrying Tom's animus or whatever, Reggie was summoned by his accursed mistress, and given that circle of life juice or whatver it was that the Nyjyr Ennead intend to use to increase the population of their followers. Their would be tons of little half demon babies. or at least one or two. This would actually be great for the Nyjyr Ennead since they would have a bunch of followers with abnormally high animus and manna. It might be a bit embarassing for Tom, plus the child support might be a little much, but Tom can handle, he has rooms full of gold and precious gems, plus, only the oostemothians would be dumb enough to go to the abyss to force him to pay child support if he missed a payment ( I am assuming that Tom would not be a deadbeat on purpose). Either way, it would be a pretty good story.

I forgot about that. it will be hilarious. Just imagine living with a medieval level of technology, and then you see a fight with lightsabers, lasers, and gravity cannons. Not to mention a demon that can apparently suck the life out of chaos knights with a thought. Plus certain people will be able to recognize Sekmet and her sphinxes. Sentir fallon is really going to freak, he will recognize sekmet, and he believes that Tom is Orcus. Seeing them work together, and kicking ass while doing so, is going to terrify him. Now that I think about it, these books need to be made into movies, if only for that scene,( Not that the whole series isn't movie worthy, but I really want to see that fight if it is half as awesome as I imagined while reading it, it would be one of the best movie battles ever).

Magic. That's all anyone will see.




I was speculating earlier on something similar to this. I suspect that it MIGHT have something to do with the World Gate. Phaetus said in THH that the World Gate can go "anywhere in the multiverse where another World Gate is. Any distance in space, any distance in time" (emphasis is mine). I can see a scenario similar to several in the Stargate SG-1 series, where a malfunction, accident, attack, or anomaly skipped someone through time. However, given Tom's current attitudes toward sex and love, I'm having trouble getting him into a position to father a child, then leave. He would never willingly leave someone he's made a child with, which would indicate a tragedy that would significantly bring down the light mood prevailing in the first two books. Still, I suppose it could happen if it was couched as a continuity problem. You know, "Do this, and do it this way, or Rupert will never exist."

Similarly, I have a problem with your scenario, as it would require Tom to DELIBERATELY go back in time, find Rupert's mom, have sex, conceive Rupert, then leave her for ten years, then NOT interfere as she's stoned to death. While I suppose it's possible, it seems really out of character.



BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Tizzy, is there something you'd like to tell us?

Is Rupert, Rupert's real name? If I was a young, vulnerable half-demon ( bit of an oxymoron there) going to a wizard school run by someone like Lenamare, I would never give them my real name, just in case they somehow found out. Actually if I was ANYONE getting close to a school run by someone like Lenamare, I would use a fake name. You cant trust wizards.

Well that's disappointing, too bad demons are famous for their honesty and keeping their word. I'll never be able to get you to reveal your secrets.

Okay, thats good, I didn't want Lenamare to be able to look at his school records and then be able to capture Rupert and interrogate him.

I wouldn't put anything past Lenamare.

I wonder if Rupert even knows his true name?

I'm sure if he does, and that was on the application, he would put down a false true name. He's been pretty smart about things most of the time.

Apostles of DOOOOOM™ promises to start the Church of Tommus, Dark God of the Abyss, Emperor of Evil, and All-Around Badass Demon Dude. Imagine what Tom will have to say about THAT! <jiggle>

Virgin or not, they all taste like chicken.

Yes, we tend to get pieces cut off and just grow another. If I see anymore of the little buggers around here, I'll absorb them, too! As a species, we're not the most...cooperative. Still, occasionally a couple of us will end up meeting, and we'll swap pseudopods. A little slimy pseudopod action...mmm. I'm sure you've seen those moving pictures on the internet. There's a Rule 34 for everything!

Tom will take some management to get him to conquer the Astlan plane, but we have faith in you, Tizzy!
