[Ask How The Bagadjimbiri Brothers Are Worth Losing The Soul Form For Just A Year-And-A-Day's Service...]

You feel the gnawing hunger of having no worshipers praying to you, and know that this Soul Form could cure it, but after a few quick words whispered among yourselves you decide you need more information to make the decision.

"We cannot make such a decision without consulting the rest of our pantheon, but we need more information to put before them first. Uppermost in our minds is this: what makes the service of the Bagadjimbiri brothers so important that we would willingly sacrifice this crucial soul form for their service just for a 'year-and-a-day'?" you ask; being the speaker of the group...

"You will not remove the Soul Form from this spot, if you try we will kill you." The weird Kangaroo/Snake/Crocodile thing says, and you sneer.

"Like the first time?" you ask mockingly.

She gulps and shrinks back a little but Wallungunder responds. }Do not be overconfident Lucifer Lightbringer, your arrogance cost you all you held dear once. I suggest learning from your mistakes,{ Wallungunder 'says' and you feel a twinge of memory but it slips beyond your grasp.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but we must consult our pantheon and your **** to give us the information we need is disconcerting," you state, and they seem to consider...

Sensing advantage you 'press-the-attack' so to speak.

"A lot of the other members of my pantheon are very bellicose, we have a glut of warrior gods. If I can't give them something that will make them think 'weakness now: strength later' they might decide that deicide is inevitable eventually and go for the worshipers we all crave. Besides, we both know that not all gods can be trusted, if you are this reticent with mere information how can we be assured that if we give you the soul form, you will not simply do what you fear we would?" You ask, and Wallungunder turns to look at the others, 'whispering' with them about their options and chances.

}What you say has the ring of truth,{ He allows after a minute. }The great advantage the Bagadjimbiri brothers would bring to your pantheon is they are divine alchemists. With the right simple tools, they can compound Soul Essences to fill Soul Forms and help them create worshipers. They are especially adept at creating Sexual Essences, which will allow your worshipers to grow in numbers faster. Our price is simple enough: the feathered serpent's release, but I can see we have soured the deal with our reticence so I offer a further inducement: when our combine efforts release the god trapped in that Soul Form, we will convince him to also serve you for a-year-and-a-day, plus the Bagadjimbiri brothers will work for you all winter so long as you work diligently for Quetzalcoatl's release, then for a-year-and-a-day thereafter, do we have an accord?{ Wallungunder asks.

"As I have said, while I am the speaker for our group our pantheon has no one leader at present, we must take counsel," you hedge and Wallungunder mentally 'smiles' at you.
(Tricky Business for someone with no mouth...)

}Why wait?{ And you realize that he has just patched the whole pantheon into the 'call' because when you didn't immediately come back after securing the Soul Form the rest of them came looking for you.
The deal and its associated costs are explained, as is the success (or Failure...) of the other two groups...
