[@Dead Cruiser] Try taking on the Black Forest, I'm sure it'll be the end of your faction. And it's much more than just a scary forest, it's a living organism, each tree is connected, they see everything, no matter where you are, whatever horrors lie in the Black Forest will be your end; and even if you do survive some of the more insect like monsters, then the Executioners or Tor'qux himself will. You wouldn't be able to get your machine things through the forest anyway, too dense.

And these aren't ordinary trees, blood runs through their roots as some of the tallest trees extend hundreds of meters high. And even if you did want to attempt to kill the Old God, you wouldn't be able to draw him out because... well... the barrier that Gia put up prevents anything dark from leaving. 

You wouldn't be able to kill Nykrileth because he's in the middle of the ocean miles beneath the waves, sleeping in a dead city.

You wouldn't be able to kill Ko'roth because the Council and an entire demonic army stands in your way.

Other Old Gods are either too fast, evasive or powerful for you to kill, plus since you're breaking Halax'zen's toys, wouldn't it make sense that you'd be pissing him off so much that he'd just obliterate you within seconds... 'cause he's a God. An unkillable God that wields more power than every Old God combined.

No. You're not killing a God. Ever.

If your group can take down Gods and Old Gods then what's stopping him from annihilating the Council and the Paladins.
