Some even have Gifts from the Gods to help them, for example thick skin, regeneration or spitting acid. 30 minutes ago, Akhôrahil said: Humakt doesn't have a huge problem with Chaos. It's the Undead he's bothered with (many of which are chaotic, though). We had a GM who would occasionally trot out some form of Chaotic Humakti Rune Lord or Priest NPC, usually an Ogre but once an intelligent Waltakpus, just because Humakt was Neutral to Chaos. They didn't last long as NPCs. 45 minutes ago, PhilHibbs said: He has broo Chalana Arroy healers as well. The Wild Healer of the Rockwoods is a Broo Healer. I don't think it is connected to Ralzakark, but I am sure that he has Chaotic Healers, members of Chalana Arroy, Queen Deezola and other Healing cults. Some may even have gifts from the Gods that give them healing powers. Edited August 2, 2019 by soltakss 1 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.

Qizilbashwoman Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) I thought Undeath was a Chaos subrune; Zorak Zoran doesn't have that rune and His cultists reanimate His slain dead and loathe Chaos.

ZZ is fine using cave trolls (who bear a chaos taint and have chaotic regeneration abilities) as ablative meat alongside their posthumous cult members and victims. Hatred is a huge part of what ZZ is about, the choice of target is fairly secondary. Chaos is a notable rival for maximum scariness, and has done things to the trolls that fuel that hatred, but fire cults are as bad. 3 hours ago, Qizilbashwoman said: Lunar Way makes sense, but Chalana Arroy? That hurts my ... brain. I think it's my brain. Pacifist vegetarian broos are indeed nothing short of a miracle. Illumination can be quite powerful, and the seed may have come from a Chalanan who got afflicted with chaotic features but managed to hold on to her tenets. Possibly got illuminated in the process, possibly even gave birth to those broos survivng by healing herself. (Or himself... broo births don't require any sexual organs, and any kind of opening to the body will do for insemination, including a spear wound.) Biologists might argue whether broos really have male genitals or rather ovipositors. 1 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from Pavis, Gateway to Adventure, page 391: Quote The Cleansed One (Water rune)This character was originally a broo who, sickened by his foul condition, quested mightily to remove the taint of chaos from his being. He was able to find the true purification in the deep waters, and used Zola Fel as his route. He is now a symbol of whatever chaos-destroying powers the river possesses. The Cleansed One can lead questers on a path to cleanse themselves of a Chaotic taint by traveling to the Purifying Waters in the Heart of the Sea. The quest is difficult, but not as deadly as some of the other local purifying quests known to the Praxians. ... and so forth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffjerwin Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 12 hours ago, Shiningbrow said: What makes a Chaos creature *want* to give up its Chaos???? (Other than Illumination?) Many Chaos creatures are in pain/massively traumatized and their anger and violence is a response to this; this is definitely the case with Broos. The 'immune system of Glorantha' tends to conflict with their taint. The Storm Bull 'Sense Chaos' is a weirdly empathic response: they feel the pain and anger of the Chaos monster. Illuminated Chaos doesn't suffer in the same way, and hence doesn't trigger this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, one reason while non-traditional riddles are suspect in Orlanthi lands that use them in ritual or pastime. Of which I believe Dragon Pass hosts a few (Orlanthi lands, that is). And of course anywhere where Yelmalio and Orlanthi Cultists interact. Again a few places in Dragon Pass. edited to correct (long after the fact)... : so here is the source of the confusion... It should read one reason why non-traditional riddles are suspect... Edited August 6, 2019 by Bill the barbarian Quote ... remember, with a TARDIS, one is never late for breakfast!
