Roydra: "I wonder HOW we're amusing to the Innkeeper? How much of us can the Innkeeper see?"
Coran: "You are familiar with the term omniscient? You have to learn to no care about most of it. In time it becomes hard to care about any of it."
Roydra: "But here this place is."
Kami: "What do you do, now, Sir?"
Coran: "I am a smith, and god. I deal with such matters as are brought to me.
Bubba: "What's the pay rate for being a God? Whatcha a God of, precisely?"
Jay-of-A: "Bubba, perhaps one should choose one's words more carefully around a God."
Bubba (Shrugs) "If I get Smited, I get Smited. Somethings going to get me sooner or later. All I ask is that you make it quick if that's the be the way of it."
Binky: "Do you know of Aumanator?"
OOC: I just went and booked up carefully
https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Amaunator
https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Lathander
Lathander would be more my speed as a deity.
I have no idea where Neverwinter MMORPG takes place in the Faerun timeline there.
So I'd say that Aumanator of Neverwinter was mostly Lathander with a little Aumanator layered over him. Mostly the Sunrealm and the hostility to undead. But also prizing order and the law.
Bubba: "Killing monsters for fun and profit. Sounds nice. Don't get me wrong, I have fun and I make profit. But you can't turn it off. The Monsters are everywhere now."
Coran: "And thus has it always been. There comes a point in which you, for the sake of your own soul, must step back and leave the monster hunting to younger Heroes. It is not an easy move to make.
Bubba: "You can't when the Monsters come after YOU."
Jay: "For inhuman creatures of foul appetite and stygian hatred, they all seem to have money on them don't they?"
Coran: "They do. Curious that. Could it be that even monsters need to stock up at the market?"
Jay-of-A: "I am picturing a monster market, and I am regretting that."
Bubba (Doing impression): "Haunch of girl, here! Caught fresh this morning! (heh heh heh) Yeah I can see paying for that."
Binky looks unhappy: "Shiny bits of armor you can never use. But shiny and valuable, step right up."
Kami: "Well, if we find one we know what to do now."
Bubba grins wider "Photon grenades. I love those!"
Kami: "I was thinking one of the over-the-shoulder heavy phaser cannons. That sounds like a fun way to let a monster market know what we think of them."
Binky: "May the Gods preserve us, present company included, Sir."
Jay-of-A: "May the light of Aumanator shine in such places. Along with Orbital phaser strikes."
Binky: "Amen."
Roydra: "That sounds interesting and familiar. Have you fought a lot of monsters?"
They all look at her
Kami: "We did nothing else for the year I was there. This Village, that district, that area. Each one overrun with more insane and vicious monsters."
Jay-of-A: "Indeed. If you found your way into the under ground levels not half a mile from Lord Never Winters Castle, you could find were rats and their pet dire rats. I was always concerned. If the Neverwinter Guard couldn't keep the were rats out, how did they keep the other creatures out?"
Bubba: "Oh, yeah. I'd always expect to come back and hear someone screaming about how a dire, undead, hellspawn spike monster had eaten their children."
Kami: "We heard that enough."
Binky: "The Pirate Islands weren't that bad"
Kami: "Aside from being nearly over run with a Lizardman army, no."
Bubba shivers: "Islands, Floating in the sky. T'aint natural. Flying sailing ships. Ain't right."
Kami: "Once we beat back some of the Lizardmen, privateers were good for bringing supplies in."
Jay-of-A: "And, one hopes, evacuating non-combatants."
Binky: "Amen."
Binky: "It is said that money is the root of all evil. So it makes sense that hell has a thriving economy."
Coran: "The exact quote is 'The
love of money is the root of all evil.' Money is an idea, a thing. No more evil that the clothing on you back. Intent is everything."
Kami: "I think a close enough avatar for the source of evil is the lich Valindra. She's the one who's set loose all the undead in the area. May she soon rot in hell"

Binky "Amen"
Bubba: "Hear hear."
Jay-of-A: "Indeed."
