Challenge #04440-L056: Put Your Muscle Where Your Mouth is

They claim to be a cleric of Tyr, but they certainly don't seem to believe in the concept of justice. So how can you be a cleric of something you don't actually believe in? Simply put, you're not a true cleric. -- Anon Guest

Powers of the Divine come from devoted worship to the god in question. The magic and how it effects the work depend not on the deity, but the worshipper who is the 'filter' of its influence. And when a god is popular enough, one worshipper doesn't stand out very much.

Unless the worshipper in question monumentally screws up.

Saying, "That's not fair," when one follows the god of justice is very dangerous when one is saying such about a situation that is, indeed, more fair than one thinks. That sort of thing gets the god's attention. It may be pitiable to lack the response of the divine, but it is even more pitiable to get the divine's focus.

By the time help arrives, those that did not die in the crash are in very bad shape. Dangerously thin, even their Gyiik friend. What was the problem? Poisonous plants? Yes and no. Large plants were edible, but to get to them, one had to traverse the equivalent of a field full of miniature gympie-gympie, and they were right in the center of a massive meadow of them. Native animals were immune, humans and others? Not so much.

Challenge #01401-C306: Give it All You Got

They were her audience, and she was always gracious towards them. -- Anon Guest

The performance had been draining. Of course it was. She had sweat pooling in places no polite person ever spoke of in mixed company. She had worn her skin thin in other, unmentionable places.

But, because she was the star, people insisted on meeting her after the show. Some to talk, some to embrace or kiss, some to criticise. Some to appreciate what hard work she had done,

Diets and food bribery do not mix

I haven’t mentioned anything about how my diet’s been going, lately. And most of that is because it’s been going badly.

One reason for this is: Hubby’s a bit of a feeder.

He loves to give me good, tasty food when I’m down in the dumps - and that’s been a lot, lately. He treats me with delicious things often full of cream, sugar or cheese. all the delightfully sweet
