[pnpgm] Game Update #32 - File #336 - Merman Combat P9/10

[J Hooten]

    Raban, being an acrobat, is not too bad off with the wild ride. But 
he knows the ship is too fast for him to ketch up too once he gets free. 
He tries very hard to remember what direction they were traveling and 
where land should be so that he can eventually find his way. Concerned 
that he may be lost to the others he reaches deep into his heart for his 
connection to his Goddess and prays for some guidance and possibly a 
little help. But what if this was part of his Goddess's plan for him? 
Not the for mission, but to help the poor people abused by this culture? 
Gods do work in mysterious ways and not everything that appears bad is 
bad...
    So this would be much harder than saving the world from those 
invaders. It will be a little tricky earning the friendship of a people 
forced to think all magic is evil, but it can be done. But there will 
always be those who out of jealousy or for spite will involve the guard. 
Since I am so obvious, attempting to hide would be nearly useless. That 
means I would need to fight often and likely would need to kill to 
prevent them gathering more each time, or I would need to play a role 
that is somehow protected from the guards. The people could try to 
protect me but that puts them at too much risk, so it is best that I 
find a role inherently protected. But does this culture have such a 
role? Wandering Mystic, or Hermit Sage are unlikely. Wise Man has the 
same problem. 'Touched' by the Gods could work but they have turned away 
from the Gods. I would need to bring back their old Gods to have much of 
a chance. I would need to start a rebellion to do that and it would need 
to be wide spread before the guard could react. I suppose a 'running' 
campaign of healing and other 'miracles' could spread belief and hope 
fairly wide, but that would require a lot of guidance to find the places 
that need such help. I would have to be on the move constantly, just 
staying at each place long enough to do what is needed. My flight would 
be enough to keep ahead of trouble but only if they did not know I could 
fly? Or is it better to use that 'miracle' as well? Planning this may be 
beyond my capabilities, I will just have to trust my goddess will guide 
me....

<Of course that much thought may be beyond the time allowed for such a 
slow thinker ;)
