Where is Talos?
To be a Stormlord, it says you have to worship Talos, but I can't find him! What book is Talos in?

Re: Where is Talos?
As long as we're on the subject of Talos, how do you folks feel about the change they made to him in the 4th edition setting? Talos is now part of Gruumsh. He was an orc all along!
The only thing worse than an empty signature is one that has nothing at all to say. One that simply yammers on with little or no point; quietly, subtly draining away seconds of your life.
The worst are the ones that look like they have a point. Multiple paragraph monstrosities that you're sure will have some sort of satisfying conclusion. Some sort of goal, to show that your reading was not in vain.
It doesn't and it was.

Re: Where is Talos?
In 1E Talos is a triple-headed iron golem.

Re: Where is Talos?
"Talos the triple iron golem" is mentioned in BoVD (3.0 ed).

Re: Where is Talos?
Personally, I'm all for waiving deity requirements (it's mostly fluff anyways).

Re: Where is Talos?
I can actually see that one making sense, so it doesn't bother me. Some of the other 4E changes do, but I'm fine with Talos being orky. Originally Posted by Noble Savant

Re: Where is Talos?
A means of destroying evil artifacts by feeding them to the "Triple Iron Golem" is also mentioned in the Book of Exalted Deeds. Originally Posted by hamishspence

Re: Where is Talos?
How do you make a triple iron golem? Make it out of three kinds of iron? Make it three times the size of a normal iron golem? Give it three heads? And how do you get it to devour things? Golems don't eat, last time I checked.

Re: Where is Talos?
Clearly a "triple iron golem" is actually a very powerful drink, in a glass large enough that you can put an artifact into it to be dissolved.

@V: Iron Golems have a poisonous breath weapon that deals a bunch of Con damage. This implies that they have an internal poison reservoir connected to their mouths. I see no reason why said poison couldn't be acidic.Last edited by SurlySeraph; 2010-01-24 at 04:01 PM.

Re: Where is Talos?
True, but it wouldn't have stomach acid, so the evil artifact would just sit there inside it. That's not really destryoing it so much as locking it up. Originally Posted by SurlySeraph

It could just chew. I can't imagine most artifacts working after a few chomps. Originally Posted by Archpaladin Zousha

Brilliant D&D song from Aussie comedy band Tripod.
If anyone can find a better-quality version of that, let me know.
