[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.

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!]

It's valuable, I admit, but I'm sort of loathe to part with it. Been there, did that already - kind of hurts. How about a sweater?

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

[ Make from the heart. He'd correct the grammar but his flippancy was attempting to serve a purpose that didn't... really work. Whatever. ]

So you're an emotional vampire, that's what you want, precious memories and shit. There's a whole genre of teen fiction based on that sort of thing, you definitely could have been clearer. Precious positive or precious infrequent?

I demand your TREASURES. Offer them to me that I may spare you from MADNESS.

Again though, being vague on the whole 'personal worth' versus 'appraised worth'.

You are a FOOL.

[ ......... ]

Okay, lay it on me.

Give me of your HEART. Give me of those THINGS which are PRECIOUS TO YOU. It is to be a SACRIFICE.

Are you too much a FOOL to comprehend?

Hardly, I'm just looking for the hidden meaning.

There is NONE. I speak TRUTH.
I demand a SACRIFICE lest I lay this place to WASTE.
