You're... welcome to try, but I will tell you that he has more levels in Priest than you have levels total, several levels in Paladin beyond that, and that Corinthiir is one of the actively war-loving Good gods.

[Xantalos]

So he's about as outmatched as David Blaine vs Dr Strange?

[Ross Vernal]

!

I FOUND THE HIDDEN LORE FILES! So, guess what, priest-class (Gamerlord) and divine-prestige-class (Xero) people: I found your extra bonus feats. This means "Pick one of the following and add it as an extra, bonus feat, conditional upon your faith."

Mingan:
Eye of Death - A certain few of the Defiant are given a tattoo of death, allowing them to automatically sense any death within 50' of them; in addition, this allows them to track the killer anywhere simply by looking at a corpse.
Negative Energy Immunity - The Defiant are entirely unaffected by "death" or negative energy.
Rebound Spell - Certain followers of Mingan can rebound a spell on its caster 1x/day.

Shin:
Touch of Death - A Magical Benefit for those who follow all Three Aspects of Shin, once a day they can use attack a being and kill them on contact - at the cost that they kill another being that same day. If they do not, then they themselves are slain.
Endowment of Power - To those who champion Shin's cause, he will bestow upon them a permanent gift - power. This is a general ''buff'', enhancing a person in every combat-related area by at least 1.5x. However, to keep this skill, they must be constantly involved in war or combat.
Divine Protection - Once a day, a PC who follows Shin devoutly may summon forth a set of magical armour - such as what the Infinite Legions wear - which will last for five rounds (posts). This armour has the same protection as adamantium plate, and has severe magical resistance.

As a bonus note, I will provide a brief list of the Corinthiian priest's bonus feats:
Hammer of the Righteous - A large magical hammer flies forth from summoner's hand to autonomously attack opponent for two rounds, each attack doing magical damage, moreso to evil people.
Lance of Light - A long-distance spell that creates a burning lance of light, hitting with magical and holy damage, more so to evil people.

There are indeed other benefits for other gods; I'm simply not telling y'all because nobody else has levels in priest or divine prestige classes.

[Gamerlord]

Hm. I may need to modify my tactics then... Is there a temple I can visit?

[Ross Vernal]

Right where you are, pretty much. There are several small shrines scattered about, and I 100% assure you that many of the ruins and castles have or are old temples.

Oh boy. Combat incoming, I suspect.

EDIT: I am expecting for everyone to post actions or say they abstain from actions before I post IC. This has a time limit; if you don't post in a few days, you do nothing (or react, depending) on GM-fiat.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Dayum. Their stats are on par with ours...we really are mortal aren't we? :|

[Gamerlord]

You lot are, maybe.

Ah.
One question that may or may not be spoilery: are they hostile?
_{Yes I know they are, but technicalities hush}

[Ross Vernal]

You're tougher than most. You're trained in combat. You're all assumed to have superior equipment to theirs. And, most importantly, Adventurers are something special. You're all Hero Class going up against Generic NPC class.

There's several ways out of the situation. Combat is not inevitable, but you guys could defeat them and cause a retreat. It'd hurt, but it'd hurt you a lot less than losing everything they can intimidate you out of, which, if left unchecked, will go down to your undergarments.

Put it this way: They wouldn't mind it if you guys gave in, but they're there to take all of your shit and rough you up/kill you if you don't play along. Some are eagerly looking forward to it, others are assuming it is inevitable and picking targets.

[Xantalos]

Changed mah action to have an action.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Replaced calligraphy with leather-working in my bio, heads up.

[Xero]

I'm going to pick the bonus feat of Divine Protection. Zoah has enough combat-related skills and perks. =D

[Gamerlord]

Oh, forgot; taking Eye Of Death.
