Typhonian Hugs

Question: I was looking at Kettila's character sheet and noticed that she has Set as her ally. I'm really curious as to how that happened! Until you guys tell me, I'm gonna go ahead and pretend that she just walked up to him and gave him a big, warm hug!

Heh, I'm enjoying envisioning that scene. Alas, that isn't what it was, although I would have enjoyed it; Kettila has never met Set in person, and if she did she would likely be too scared of him for hugs (although if he's nice to her, she's equally likely to instead decide he's awesome and just scary in order to protect her from things).

Actually, the Skeins of Fate band, including Kettila found at one point that they needed to cross the Libyan Desert, known in Egyptian mythology as The Desert That Is Set and acknowledged as his sole domain. They were confronted in the heart of the desert by the Egyptian goddess Serket, who was acting on behalf of Set as his messenger; she informed them that they were trespassing in Set's territory without permission, but that he would allow them to pass unmolested if they pledged officially to perform one task or favor for him in the future. Vivian, Will and Kettila, not wanting to make waves and acknowledging that they were in his territory, agreed to the deal; Aurora, who was not okay with writing blank checks to foreign gods, refused, and Woody followed suit in solidarity with her. Set responded by causing the desert to rise up and entomb Aurora and Woody in impenetrable earthen coffins, but everyone else was allowed to sign a contract with Serket promising to come to Set's aid if he called, and then pick up their earth-swallowed friends and go on their way. Kettila, specifically, had had no idea she was on someone else's turf, but she was happy to promise to help her new "friend" and relieved and excited that she was rewarded with being allowed to travel through without being bothered, so she immediately decided Set was a good guy and she was going to like him, and that he was probably good "new dad" material.

After getting out of the desert and determining that nobody was strong enough to crack open the caskets Woody and Aurora were trapped in, Kettila then took it upon herself to solve the problem by flying the rocks into the air and throwing them at the ground, hoping that gravity would take care of it since she couldn't. She had to fly almost into space to get high enough, but eventually managed to drop them from a high enough altitude that they broke on impact, after which everyone hastily put Aurora back together again and continued on their merry way. Much later, Vivian made Kettila come back and fill in all the giant craters she created all over Ethiopia during her many attempts, because her Harmony wouldn't leave her alone about the ecological damage.

So Kettila thinks Set is a nice man who was tolerant and let her through with just a promise to be friends in the future, so she is totally down with him.
