It didn't surprise the beast that the Gods' pets had come to investigate his choice to rehome himself within the forest. Sentient little pests, they were far too nosey for their own goods. Nothing could run the monstrosity that was Rudis from whatever area he chose to home within. The only thing that kept him where he was in the Primeval Forest was the simple fact that Actun hadn't ventured within. It was rather disgusting that the Gods could fool the mortals so easily with an illusion of importance. One day, he hoped, the mortals would see the truth in the words he preached when he found the chances. If they didn't, then they were fools, deserving of the suffering their very own sentience forced upon them. As much intelligence that resided within their souls, it was appalling at just how easily the Gods had them fooled with sweet gifts and false mercy.
He cared not how his scent bothered the sensitive souls of Salvus. They were free to rehome themselves if they were so upset at his presence. He would not be swayed and driven out by mortals who had no right to hold magical claims upon the land. Just another one of the Gods' serenading gifts to win their pretty little toys over--divine protection over a land. In a perfect world, no magic would hold others superior. There would be no fancy titles and errands to attend to. Just the leader and its followers, out to simply survive and continue their bloodline. Nothing more, nothing less. What the Gods saw as a perfect, thriving ecosystem was broken and tainted forever in Rudis' eyes. Unnatural and an abomination to nature itself. Despicable.
The behemoth seemed phased as his directionless wandering had brought him into the largest river to run through the forest. Something else, though, had stopped him. At the corner of his eye, he could spot the southernmost bridge that arched over the river. His dark jowls lifted in a loathsome snarl, chilling blue eyes locked onto the structure. The Gods' pets were destroying this land. Turning it into something revolting and artificial. The divine siblings would be sorry that they had ever caused this alteration of nature. Omne's land was supposed to be a place where animals just survived. Not... whatever this was. With a snort of disgust, Rudis carried himself toward the other end of the river, pulling his being out of the water, unphased by the water that dripped down his unkempt fur. With a silent curse to the Gods, he lumbered on
INFO: Rudis has tainted the southern river of Primeval Forest with his magic! For the rest of the season (Fall Y2), anyone who touches the southeastern river's water within the Primeval Forest will have a 50% chance to develop severely disfiguring mutations. Staff will roll a d2 to determine if your character gets a mutation at all. 1 is a success, 2 is a fail. If a 1 is rolled, Staff then rolls a d3 to see how many mutations your character gets. Each mutation that your character has will be rolled for with the guide below. Additionally, anyone who touches the northwestern lake in the Savanna will have a 50% chance to develop minorly disfiguring mutations. As with severe mutations, Staff will roll a d2 to determine if your character gets a mutation at all. 1 is a success, 2 is a fail. If a 1 is rolled, Staff then rolls a d3 to see how many mutations your character gets. Each mutation that your character has will be rolled for with the guide below. All mutations, except for extra head and alternative head, can be permanent if the roleplayer so chooses. If the character touches the affected waters on multiple different occasions, they may roll each time to replace their previous mutations from this event.
When you are ready to roll for a mutation, post in Misc. Roll Requests.
