//------------------------------// // Entry 73 A Long Hunt // Story: Samudra's Journal // by vren55 //------------------------------// Dear Diary, This is going to be a long hunt. After discussion with a select few of my staff, I’ve come up with a strategy. Going after the kelpies is too difficult, and capturing them for information is not practical as they’d starve. However, I plan to go after the followers of Yoth-Atal. All of the Primal Gods have followers. Though, I prefer the term fanatics. Granted, the term best applies to the followers of Shi’Nihalar, whom I destroyed years ago. Yoth-Atal’s followers are more like typical worshippers, except of course, they follow a monstrous being and dedicated to an extreme. The strategy I’ve been taking is to try to find and destroy the temples, churches, and the associated followers of Yoth-Atal, and capturing them when I can. If Tethys is being resurrected by Yoth-Atal, it is possible for her to be part of the Old God’s existing following. If not, then I am still able to limit Yoth-Atal’s influence, and perhaps learn something about her motives. Additionally, I may be able to ascertain whether the kelpies and Yoth-Atal are truly connected, or not by interrogating the followers, and examining the artifacts and religious iconography Yoth-Atal’s followers make of their god.
