So, How would you deal with an elemental that's set itself up as a deity over a considerable village of people? It's relatively benign but it does take any gold or precious stones that pass by on trade route, and demands worship from the villagers in exchange for protecting them.
“Well too be honest that actually doesn’t surprise me,” he said after a good bit of thought, “Nefarian Serpine did do that some time ago, and he was an Elemental. ....And to be honest I believe I did it at least once when I was young and stupid, but the demanding part I see more as Nefarian’s thing. He did have a large god complex about him that even tiffed me off.”
He chuckled and rubbed the bridge of where his nose should have been with his thumb and forefinger and continued, “Especially when he’d torture me, he made it a point to tell me about pretty much everything going on in his life.”
Skulduggery made a slight shutter. That was for a whole different reason entirely though.
Then he finally thought about the question and answered it point blank, “I’d turn the daft cunt into dust with a very old magical scepter.”
