The Last Poster Wins! [V9]

[Sir Sivelos]

'He' is Taurus, one of the antagonists!

And yes, Max. Alive and going strong. It gets lots of calcium daily.

Apoph: AHEM. Since we're doing my soul quest now, we should think about this logically.

Apoph: Taking on Baal means confronting him in his fortress, which is a HORRID idea, no matter how you think about it. We'd need to lure him out of his own turf, but I doubt he's stupid enough to just blindly accept a challenge, especially from me of all people.

Light Chaos: …What do you have in mind, Apophis-Ra?

Apoph: While they - *APOPH juts his chin towards SIVELOS, ECRIVIAN, TAZZ, and WANDER.* - were sitting on their hands, I've been thinking about it. The only way to get Baal to come to us is to provoke him into a rage. Insult him, for lack of a better term. But he would most likely bring those Cartographers of his. Luckily, he gave the schematic to Sivelos.

*blinks* Huh?

Apoph: Thus, we could fight fire with fire, having our Cartographers keep Baal's busy. But the largest flaw in this plan of mine is that is means making Baal - an extremely powerful Elder Soul - mad. Not the best idea… But it's all I have. For now, at least.

Light Chaos: He also wields the original Acheron.

Apoph: Bluh. Bluuuuh. This is difficult, but I must retake my throne. I usurped Baal for a reason, and yet he insists on being a spoiled brat who wants his bottle back. Hmph.
