Hooray for clockwork!  Hooray for many, many pages in this thread that I still have to read!

I've completed the clockwork body I was working on, but I forget whom I was making it for.  No matter!  It was a rousing success all the same.  In fact, I may have to seriously look into streamlining the process for mass-production.  There are also a few minor quirks I want to work out.

To the future owner of the Mk. I G-Body:
It's ready.  I'll need to go over the usage and maintenance instructions, and you'll have to undergo a brief period of observation and rehabilitation, but that shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

So, how long till you can get the clockwork bodies out like clockwork?

I have no idea.  I still have the Mk. I blueprints, so I can make more of them without too much difficulty, but it's far from efficient.  I need to standardize the individual parts so they can be more easily interchanged and replaced.  Then, I have to design the machinery to manufacture the parts; making them by hand just won't cut it.  Even before that, I have to make sure the Mk. I G-Body actually works properly, and I'll want to improve the design significantly before releasing it in any significant numbers.  In short; it'll be hideously complicated, expensive, and time-consuming.  We're talking about technology that is untested, and likely impossible.

Ask me again in a week.

Seriously though, for whom did I actually build this thing?  Was it originally Oliolli's, to replace all the organs lost to KodKod, but then claimed by wierd after Oliolli no longer needed/wanted it?  The other way around?  Something else entirely?  I completely forgot in the space of the last few days.

The body was originally for me (organs lost to KodKod) but later I got a new body, due to divine intervention. Then wierd became a ghost and we figured he could control the body. Now, due to HugoLumanese intervention, he doesn't need a new body.

It'll be idle for a few days, then someone will need it again.

The lone kobold was dragging the strange, tightly sealed barrel away from the fort. Corai had been a cruel boss, and Gbaneg had decided to escape, taking sometthing with him. Upon reaching the center of the eerie, barren plot of land he stopped for a breather. He looked at the barrel again. Made out of steel, for whatever reason, and boasting a beautiful image on the side, made out of orthoclase and obsidian, along with some text. Gbaneg couldn't read, unfortunately, so he ignored the text, instead opting to try to pry the lid open. After a few minutes (and the loss of two teeth) he finally managed to open the barrel. Inside was a murky blue substance. Gbaneg prodded the substance with his finger, wondering what it was, and why it had been locked up so tightly.

Temporal paradoxes tend to have that effect.

See, take hugo's recent attempt to fix his temporal anomaly:

He has to make the anomaly in order for him to become godlike and try to fix it. If he fixes it, thus preventing him from creating it, he won't have ever become godlike, and thus couldn't have fixed it. This means he couldn't have stopped himself, and the anomaly becomes real.... (whirl, whirl, whirl. Goes the recursion loop.)

In order to fix it, the events that transpired to create the anomaly must happen. The effects of the anomaly after this point are corrected, and the anomaly neutralized. Only this way is causality maintained, and the paradox avoided. This is why my character finds the memorial slab, and other evidence of his homocidal, zombie rampage. The negative outcome of his death was corrected, but he still did die.

(I could give the Doctor a run for his sonic screwdriver when it comes to understanding paradoxes. I find them fascinating.)

The dragons have broken down the door to the temple!

Dragon1:  There's nothing in here.
Dragon2:  What?  I thought there would be a ton of loot from this place!
Zanzetkuken:  It must be that when one of the forumites is no longer is around, all of their items are removed from existence until they return.
Master of Water:  That makes sense.  But why would none of our stuff do anything like that?
Zanzetkuken:  Consider the Insanity surrounding this place.  It must be an abnormality about this place.
Master of Water:  True.  True.  Should we withdraw?
Zanzetkuken:  After we seal this place in by melting the doors.

KodKod's room is no longer accessible.
The dragons have withdrawn.

It's not dead yet!  We still have to face the exiled and the slayers!  Speaking of which...

A vile force of darkness has come!

Here come the exiled!

Note: The exiled are a quasi-organized rabble who's people are dragons.  They have the ability to break down raised bridges.

Edit: Note to self:  Never speak of the exiled or the slayers again!

1- massive sieges and ollifex may come back due to a kobold.

2- Fen was the last person to have it so, Fen?
