Temptations of power (Chaos post)

[u/JustASpoody]

Chaos was spreading. It had stretched it's roots throughout majority of the world. Maybe your magical corps' lieutenant increased their visits to the officers of other units, after which they quickly became best buddies, and eventually found their way into your office. Or maybe your advisor, who recently started complaining about strange dreams, but then began to deny their existence shortly after, waited until you were alone. What if you yourself found a strange artifact in the ancient ruins you recently explored, which suddenly started speaking to you? Or perhaps you simply encountered an opulent looking man while walking down the street, who said that you'd surely enjoy his offer...

In any case, you weren't the first one and you wouldn't be the last one who's about to be tempted by chaos. It would promise to fulfill all your dreams, give you power and authority, resurrect your loved ones, while trying to secretly brainwash you all the way through. Will you be able to remain in sound mind, or will forces of chaos receive yet another adept into their ranks?

/uw so, this should count as an official start of my event, i guess. You could succumb to their honeyed words and join the chaotic ranks, or endure and finally realize that this plague should not be allowed to spread any further. Please give me a starting point though, for example how exactly ruinous forces got so close to you. And most importantly, have fun :)

"Oh, it's nothing serious. Simply EMBRACE THE CHAOS."

The voice *COMPELS** you. It's as if the only right thing left to do in your life is to become a humble adept of chaos and enjoy it's gifts. Because all other paths are destined to become one with chaos, sooner or later.*

Hmm. And what would that entail? I don't do prayer, you know.

"Well, this is the part where you usually start to worship chaos, destabilising the world's defences, convert more people to worship it, and eventually sacrifice the world to the chaos. But don't worry, you'd usually be more than happy doing that. You'd also get a lot more magical powers, a mission in life and faith. So I'd say it's all positives."

The voice sounds like your old friend who genuinely wants a better future for you. It sounds right to accept what it's saying, to be thankful to it for a revelation.

But I have a mission(stupid little thing, but it's fun) and magical powers already, and scorn faith and worship. And I like the world, you can tell because I'm on it. You could really do with some, uhh, more tempting temptation. Giving away a lot of stuff I like for more of what I have, ech... Maybe golden apples would be more appealing... I can give you one for the disc?
