[It begins with a shout. And then:]

HEAR ME!
I am he who BURNS and THUNDERS.
I am he of RUSHING FIRE.
I am every SPELL and SCOURGE.

That you have come to this land which I have claimed for MYSELF and for my FOLLOWERS.
That you have disgraced my SERVANTS.
That you have wounded those who serve ME.
That you have denied my claim on this LAND.
That you defy me in my RIGHTS of dominion of this place from its HEART to the RIM of the world.

O that my mouth could consume you, that my mouth could eat of your flesh.

I am he whose mouth breathes FIRE.
I am MASTER in this place.

Defy me NOT.

That the strength of my SERVANTS cannot hold you.
That the force of my SERVANTS does not bind you.
That you would battle ME as you would an army.

VERY WELL.

If you would stand against me, hear my WORDS:

MAKE unto me a SACRIFICE such as would PLEASE ME and see if I grant you MERCY.

[ooc: Yes, it's the goat!!! This message is broadcast across the Network in real-time. (Special thanks to the Bornless Ritual.)

As of 6:00pm Eastern Time, if your character made an offering to save the City, please consider that offering as having been made and consumed by the goat. See this post for more information.

If your character is down in the City, feel free to have them hear strange sounds and see flashes of lightning and shadow coming from up on the mountain while this is going on!]

[ Things have come to a pretty pass. Now he's being silenced by a goat. ]

I'm not sure whether to get in touch with an exorcist or PETA.

There is little you KNOW and less you UNDERSTAND.

I had an ex who said the exact same thing.

[ But enough pleasantries. ]

What kind of sacrifice?

Make of your HEART an offering to ME.
Let it be PRECIOUS.

I want specifics. Not more [ eerily-accurate ] ex quotations.

FOOL that you are.

Make unto me an OFFERING.
Let it be PRECIOUS to you that it may be WORTHY of me.

I asked for particulars, not poem lines.

My skillet is precious to me. Not sure it's worthy of a talking goat, though.

I will FEAST upon these things you offer.

This skillet is non-stick. Stainless steel.

If you plan to feast on that, I pity whoever pays your dental bills.

I will CONSUME it.
I HUNGER.

[ Consume. Hunger. Pretty much Hei's mantra, 24-7. ]

Glad to meet someone who's not picky.

A skillet it is.

So long as it is PRECIOUS to you.

My memories with that thing are irreplaceable.

[ So hard to say this with a straight face, but he manages. ]

Then GIVE IT UNTO ME lest I choose to CONSUME YOU in its stead.
