Krag the Unbeliever, ch 1

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I think it's clear he has belief, just not reverence.

[Mistress of Darkness]

To me he seems to have reverence as well. I may be the only one though.

[Fellfrosch]

I worry that showing more than one character mock the gods would dilute the purpose--I have to show that they are actually worshipped. Or maybe I don't, and i'm looking at this the wrong way.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I think we need to know they're worshipped.

[Mistress of Darkness]

Then how does he overcome the complaint that the berry guys annoy readers? (Not me, but enough people have commented on it for it to be a possible problem). Fell doesn't want to annoy readers so much that they put the book down.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I don't think showing that there are characters who worship the berry gods is inconsistant with keeping them from annoying us. In fact, it legitimizes them. If no one is seen worshipping them, they become even more of a joke.
