Hazy Shade of winter

[Gathoighear]

Gath loved the cold of his home country and was used to climates most men could not survive minutes in, but he was never the man to enjoy the leisure. He was on a one man mission to restore order in the world through whatever means his god would let him. That meant tracking those who caused undo amounts of chaos. There was one man who topped that list above all others. Razvan, Herald of Rheago. Gath sought not to kill him, or even to fight but things would turn violent if the angel could not see the error of his ways.

[Razvan]

Razvan was actually first deposited on earth in Romania so he was pretty fond of the bitter cold and unforgiving region, but he traveled north from his home country into Russia. It had plenty of cities full of wicked destructive earth poisoning people. It had to be exhausting to hate so many people so damn much. It surely weighed on the mind, to be such a huge bitch, but the man simply did not care. He flapped his wings rapidly as he flew out over the city of Moscow, just looking for a fine target..

[Gathoighear]

Gath saw above, red wings, and knew that this was his man. Blood angels are extremely rare, would be a shame if he got blown out of the sky by high winds from a blizzard. And then as if by magic, clouds began to form and winds began to howl as snow fell. To capture a bird you must clip it's wings. He waited for the angel to ground in the winter weather that was the norm in his old village.

[Razvan]

Razvan had slipped into a casual glide os he could circle around but he found the wind was picking up and it began to snow. He lost the updraft that kept him aloft, so he gingerly steered himself along and landed on a building. He was surprised at the sudden storm but these things happened. despite being able to summon blizzards at will, he couldn't immediately assume this was anything but natural.

[Gathoighear]

Gath watched the angel fall from the sky like a feather spiraling downward towards the ground. He gave chase as best he could on foot without looking suscpiious. When he finally found him, he could see the bloody beast taking standing out amongst the white snow , tainting the image like a blotch of ink on a painted master piece. He approached in a natural way, such that it looked like he was hurrying for shelter, but yet he stopped within talking distance. "Are you Razvan?" he said in a purely curious mannor. Had he made a mistake, it would not do well to outright accuse him of crimes and cause the chaos that he sought to prevent.

[Razvan]

The blood angel had settled onto a shop overhang, not even a full story up, but still above Gath. He stretched his wings out to shake the snow off, making the red of them stick out more. It was now that he looked upon the cleric of Shizukesa. His gaze was piercing and with deep harsh scrutiny, but it was no personal grudge, he was just eternally wary. He was not a man to hide though, so of course he answered. "I am Razvan, Herald and avatar of Rhaego. Who are you?'

[Gathoighear]

Gath was a solid man, full of solid opinions and solid mornings so the harsh gaze from Razvan simply bounced off him like a wave breaking off of a rock on the shore. " I am Gathoighear, Frozen of the Northern tundra and the god of order's cleric. I serve him in all manners, and in force his will in the mortal plain. You may be a herald of nature, but I can not allow the chaos you create to spread any farther. I do not wish violence ,so repent here and we shall both walk"

[Razvan]

The blood loving monster hopped off the ledge and landed in a crouch again but popped up so he stood straight, arms at his side, with nice straight statuesque posture. These god favorite were fancy bastards if anything..though Razvan was really more of a bitch. "Oh this is cute. another self righteous lancelot coming around to pass judgement on me. Have you seen the mess this world has become? And it doesnt seem to matter what I do i cant get it through anyone's thick head that what i do is entirely necessary. I will NOT repent, because -I- have done nothing to warrant it."

[Gathoighear]

Gath stood up straight as well to match Razvan. "I'm no Lancelot, but you are a fool who dwells in the past. Nature is privy to change, and to some degree it is also privy to chaos. A natural chaos that restores balance. When we cure a illness another pops up to take its place, or a natural disaster strikes at random, killing thousands. Nature uses chaos to find it's own balance, and if it is content with humanity brining forth technology than let it be. You are the odd man out, you are the one who upsets balance, and you are the one who uses nature as an excuse to slaughter and destroy. If you wish to do so, don't hide behind an Idea that will trick yourself into innocence. If anyone here would know about nature's wrath it is I. My village lived and died by Rheago's mercy, and I thank him for allowing me this long. You may not understand that nature has balanced, as it always will, by itself. You are the one to destroy the balance of nature, the same nature that drives us instinctually to do the things you feel you should retaliate against. So I ask one final time: Repent, or I shall teach you repentance with the might of the ice that flows through my veins." Gath felt him instinctually cast all of his protection magic, preparing himself for the inevitable. Tower sheilds in position to block a quick strike and deflect if it doesn't work.

[Razvan]

Razvan did not laugh..ever, but he did snort, as if this was some sort of signal of amusement from the frigid creature. "normally nature can keep things balanced, but when something unnatural comes along, something that slowly kills the world, melts the ice caps, eradicates species..something that no hurricane, flood or earthquake can fix, someone must come along to stop it. In that regard you can consider me the greatest natural disaster." he huffed. "Rhaego has given me this task, and only he can end it. to repent is to mock him and all he has done. I WILL NOT REPENT!" he turned and being the ballsy asshole that he was, he started walking away.

[Gathoighear]

Gath looked at him, "I supposed the death of the dinosaurs was also unnatural? It killed an entire era of animals and yet some survived. Just as it will now. Even if we do destroy this planet, nature will persevere. Wether we as a species are to chosen to do so with it does not matter, Order is restored without you, and you stand it's way." A giant wall of ice grew from street to block Razvan's path. "Now I stand in your, and ask you one more time. Will you repent, or shall I freeze you solid and smash your block to bitz.?"

[Razvan]

Razvan stopped and looked back at the brave cleric now that his path was blocked. "The people who taint everything, will be that one thing that the world cannot bounce back from if nothing is done. I am that natural thing that balances it all out again,tasked by Rhaego himself. As you said yourself, nature creates chaos, it created me did it not? Stop preaching to the choir" he shook his head . "And do your homework in the future." he held his left hand out , still not fully facing Gath and manipulated the ice behind him to crack before facing him fully. "I will not repent. I wont denounce my god."

[Gathoighear]

Gath laughed once, and looked upon him with pity. "You blame everything upon us, but do you think about what your actions cause? If you destroy a factory, it does not dissuade one from building another. It require him to delve back into the earth, gouge the metal, pollute the land around it. You cause more trouble than it's worth. Nature brings about only as much chaos at it needs to restore order, and you are excess. Repenting will not denounce your god, it will only allow me to know that you would seek a more constructive way to change things rather then death. For some one who says I'm preaching to the choir, you sure are really taking the balance issue one sidedely. Instead of taking away, why dont you give back, work with the order to preven the chaos. I will personally help you a crusade such as this. All I need for you to do is to repent aginst the violence you have caused."

[Razvan]

Razvan had to be just about the most stubborn and infuriating creature the world had to offer. It was so fortunate that he was the last of the blood angels. Just try and imagine more than one of him. "If people are so stupid as to rebuild when i continue to destroy they deserve whatever i throw at them." he scoffed. "If Rhaego told me to stop i would, for i do it all for him. Under the god of life we were protectors but we were cast out, but Rhaego, HE saved us and gave us purpose again. If he wants me to be a more effective destructive force than what there currently is, then I will do that." he paused to look back at the ice. "you have it so easy, being good and pure. Try sacrificing that purity to make your god happy."

[Gathoighear]

Gath hunkered down and spoke once more. " I am not pure, I may work for a pure force but I am not to be counted amongst it. I will have to cast aside my morality, my beliefs, and everything I stand for to protect it. I am the ultimate contradictory. Four times I asked for your repentance. I can no longer ask but I will achieve the same goal." With that ice crystals began to form in the air around him. Soon ice under his feet grew an ice pillar propelling him forward, shields growing icicle spikes to tenderize any who would be hit.

To hit: 1d20(19) + 18= 37

damage: 2d4(5) + 2d5 (7)+ str modifyer(5) = 17 damage, -3 dex for 3 turns
