[quote=@Mardox] Actually, I was thinking the chemical would linger for a while even after the followers left the area. Not long just a day or two. Really? I didn't know that... [/quote] That'd still suck, but the Ashlings (provided they knew the Followers were gathering) would just mass 'CORRUPT THEM BEFORE THEY CAN GET ENOUGH GAS (HOW MANY BEANS DO THEY EAT ANYWAY) INTO THE AIR TO KILL US.' Why do you think he doesn't aggressively stop people from stopping the things he does? He could have fought against Vowzra or Niciel or whoever else tried to stop him when he smashed the moons or screwed with the Codex of Creation. [i]But he didn't.[/i] Why? Vestec isn't smart enough to go 'heh, I should stop because I'm outnumbered.' He'd have too much fun with the chaos such a massive brawl would cause. He could have tried to force Vulamera to be completely chaotic with his essence. [i]But he didn't.[/i] He'd have [i]loved[/i] to have someone on his side that was just as batshit insane and chaotic as he is. However, fighting for all those things would have, had he succeeded, caused an imbalance. Destroying all life on Galbar and probably Galbar entirely, screwing up the Codex to be [i]too[/i] chaotic, and having an insane Goddess of the mind who had access to and knows how the Trickster thinks. The world already has him, Zeph, and Jvan. It doesn't need someone else entirely dedicated to their own brand of harmful crazy.
