{{quote| ''"Go away. This is not a place to be. If you do try to enter here, you will fail and also be cursed. If somehow you succeed, then do not complain that you entered unwarned, nor bother us with you deathbed prayers." Signed, "The Gods."''}}

Line 64:

* [[Hindu Mythology]]: Sort of a given.

* [[Hitman With a Heart]]: Rild, sanctified killer-priest of Kali.

* [[Rebellious Spirit]]

* [[Stop Worshipping Me]]: Sam doesn't insist on it, but he certainly does nothing that would encourage it.

* [[Stop Worshipping Me!]]: Sam doesn't insist on it, but he certainly does nothing that would encourage it.

* [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]]: Actually, sufficiently advanced ''humans''.
