On top of the discworld which flies through space on top of the world turtle great A'Tuin or at least stays still in space on top of the world turtle great A'Tuin, lies Cori Celesti the huge mountain of the gods. Atop the mountain there lies the city of the gods where all the most powerful god live including Blind Io chief of the god. It is here where the gods play games of dice with the fates of mortal men, Fate always wins unless you cheat.

It was a rare event for something magical to happen and no God owning up to it so Blind Io had called a meeting of every major god on the disc and was going to sort this out.

"So who done it then" said Blind Io "Was it you that done it, I know it was you what done it I saw you now own up-1" he said to a rather junior god of freak landslides in rural areas. "No" said the junior god rather nervously.

"I think we can safely say that it wasn't any of us" said Fate

"Then who was it then" said Blind Io

"Errrr" Said Fate

"It was someone more powerful than us" said a voice behind Blind Io he turned around

"Lady how nice of you to join us" said Blind Io

" Less of the sarcasm please at least I was out finding out what was going on."

"There is no one more powerful than the god we are more powerful than anybody"

"Actually Io there are two being more powerful than the god"

"WHO?"

"The most powerful being is in fact Death but it is not him who caused this."

"Then who did?"

"It was the one who lies beneath your feet."

"What Cori Celesti?"

"No deeper than that" said the lady with some annoyance

" The disc?"

"Guess again" said the Lady

There was a sharp intake of breath behind the lady she span round and said "Ah the great god Om seems to know what im talking about.

"Yes of course" said Om as he stood up "It's the world turtle isn't it. Its stopped"

There was dead silence from the rest of the Gods when they heard this-2 "Please go on" said the lady warmly "But if he has stopped it must mean" Om gasped as the answer dawned on him "It must mean that he's ….. Blind Io has a very nice robe on today all white but with a gold stripe down the side hmm oh wait the conversation err sorry …..if its true it would mean the end of the disc the apocralypse." Finished Om "Exactly" said the lady "now I suggest we work together to solve this" there was a general murmur of agreement around the table "Good let get started then"

-1 Gods generally acted like humans so when it came to asking questions they imitated the Ankh Morpork city watch and unfortunately Blind Io liked watching Sergeant Detritus who method of questioning was usually along the lines of "It was you what done it wasn't it, own up," and can go on patiently asking for hours until the questionee gives in. The only thing that will defeat him is an outright denial.

-2 Gods have the attention span of a dead nat and most had been whispering to each other while Blind Io wasn't looking.
