Basically, the gods are abusing their power, demanding more violent or precious sacrifices, and generally acting like jerks.
And they annoy the wrong guy.
Stefanus the Arcane gets REALLY SICK of the gods tormenting the fatuous peasants in his area, and decides to take action.
(NOTE: We're using the classic fantasy deity system- there are LOTS of gods -don't anger the houseplants, bub!- and none of them are immortal. We're not here to debate theology, so for game purposes, gods can be killed like anyone else- OK, maybe it's a little harder.)
So Stefanus rounds up four (!) heroes, including himself- Stefanus, Gila, Helen, and Charles.
He gives them all these little gold disks- sort of like Palm Pilots. Magically implanted is a LOT of information, maps, et cetera. Invaluable for heroes who pretty much limited their experience to killing off rat infestations in their little hick towns before.
Their jobs are to kill off all the gods. There are no formal assignments- just kill them all and free the kingdom.
The priests and the thieves are renegade heroes, so to speak. Stefanus does not endorse them. However, there are rewards for them in killing the gods, too. They aren't ruled by the gods, they don't have to do sacrifices, et cetera. And for the priests- well, their gods are all too happy to help exterminate the others (and just hope your god dies last). The disks would be uber-useful, though. You'll have to kill the other heroes or steal it.
Gods can be killed by combat (but you'll have to find them first!), strategy, or neglect. Combat is easy- find the god and kick his/her butt. Strategy is more complicated- find the god's weakness and exploit the heck out of it. Neglect takes forever, but is fun to watch! Just have all the temples fall into ruin, the priests forget, and the people ignore. Add water for dead deity.
Anyway, that's about it.
