He said: "I, the Most Humble Intendant R'lyeh, surrender all my wordly possessions to the Beloved Pasha. So be it, in my name and in my blood."

What Jurri wrote is a R'lyeh call to their Cthulhu "god", except that he has switched Cthulhu for Jurri here. The core sentence is: "ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", meaning "In his house at R'lyeh the dead Cthulhu awaits, dreaming". Lä! and assorted words are impossible to translate, if memory serves, though it could be something more than speaking in tongues.

I'll make Alneyan my prophet once the current one dies!

I've taken my turn, but I don't think it went through because the server went down. I tried a few times but can't connect.

Jurri, thanks, but no thanks. I would rather be a prophet for someone else and bring you down: odds of survival for all involved parties would be higher.

That's so cruel, Alneyan! Anyone will do but me, you, you skank, you! I should Gift of Reason an iron pig just so I could name it Alneyan, out of spite.

Oh, Pasha, I seem to recall the passage being from the story 'Call of Jurri,' a real classic from H.P. Lovecraft. Chris offed my god recently, so it's pretty fitting, don't you agree

You know, for some reason I have never read HP Lovecraft.

Anyway... is the server still down? I can't connect.
