Turn 9

World:

Map:
I have it ready, just need to figure out how to upload pics on here.

Tech: This is a dumb thing to record. They just figured that out.
Population:
Chaos Creatures: 14
Dwarves: 9
Eladrin: (.0)9
Fae: ?
Goblins: 14
Humans: 133
Total: 170

Azaroth: Orobos steams for a bit after you 'slap' him, and sulks for a bit, but it's what you would have done too, had you been in his position, so you let it pass. The fire imp, Malofixus, is made, and eagerly eats tree after tree, turning the excess power into strength for your weapons...now you just need some smiths. The dwarves who worship the Pantheon gladly worship you, at least the fighting ones. Wait, Pantheon? Seems there's a Pantheon forming with you in it...you can feel yourself inexplicably linked to the other three. There's some sort of Mana Pool you can all exchange power perfectly efficiently through. As well, it can hold a large amount for emergencies, or difficult tasks that none of you could accomplish on your own. Finally, it seems you four are more capable than others at working together...Alrezar, Fae Lord of Wind and Frost, Azem, Devil of Wealth, Earth, and Fire, Azaroth, Devil of War, Fire, and Destruction, and Jim, Fae of Persuasion and Creation. You can feel a large influx of power, as well as a flow of your own away. Seems all of your power now goes through the Pantheon before you receive it.

Cupiditas: You take a group of humans, and pour some of your power into them, twisting as you go. Asps. It takes a good five years of your time, but you manage it. You used some volunteers in Cupiditon too, and they seems satisfied with the changes...and in other ways. They breed quite quickly as well, the females having only 4 months of gestation time. The Eladrin have some more lust in them now, not that they weren't before, but this should be interesting to see how it goes...but you don't have time to watch; too bad.

Inithis: You are not well-liked among the common folk, it seems...too many gods of death for their taste, maybe? Regardless, your influence still spreads slowly, and you notice something strange; After a few minutes of prayer, the power given from the prayers tends to just fall away. Not to stop flowing, but to stop flowing to you...your connection to the outer realms, beyond this world, allows you to look for the source, and you find something horrible...something not even a Devil's mind would permit it to remember...Something in the north, feeding on all that is not harvested by you, Reaper, or that of the other gods. What could this horrid creature be...

Alrezar: Oh dear...the entire expedition lies slain, save Delmas. He is covered in burns, scars, and blood...he speaks softly, slowly, sadly..."Sorry boss...things got out of hand." He laughs softly, the sound becoming coughs, and waves one of his arms, now sans a hand. "Remember this...'Ware the North, and the red horizon..." Then, the almost perpetual ice on his limbs solidifies and spreads, as his body falls back into the magic of Jiorya. What could kill a Fae Courtier? Especially one as strong as Delmas? This does not bode well for the Pantheon...

Jim: Though invention is not one of your domains, nor lightning, the flexibility granted to you simply by being a Fae allow you to create the Thunder Sphere. The goblins mutliply quite quickly, too, and it seems that only the oldest remember Azem's mutations. In a decade? Perhaps they'll have met with 'accidents'. Your miners are hard at work, even with the cave-ins and gas-leaks. There doesn't seem to be many trees around though, so it's difficult to get enough lumber for now...curse the short stature of these goblins! If only you had some golems. (Note: I only got rid of the golem because I hadn't realized I had let you make him without a cost. You might find them more amiable to the idea now, especially should you explain the actual process.) On another note, the fae new in the city quickly try to join your Pantheon. Wait, Pantheon?

Xandiel: Haha! The first weapon of it's kind! You shall call it a Crossed-Bow. After all, it is a bow, simply crossed over a strip of wood...even if you know there's more to it than that. Your homunculus design is up next, and that should certainly be exciting once it's finished. The Teinker is happy with your acceptance, though slightly suspicious, but gladly sets to work. The Court of Representatives, nobles in everything save name, agree to an audience, and like your proposition. They say something or other about 'the embodiment of manifest destiny' and 'human innovation'. They don't have many criminals, it seems, at least none that would be executed, but they do have some. They frown heavily upon executions, apparently, for all that they were doing them during the revolution. Hypocrites.

Draco: The Eladrin really enjoy their time off...but it's not necessarily a good thing. While three new kids, all Eladrin, are born, Eladrin are still close enough to human that they can gain pleasure from sex with them...and being the creations of a god of Law and Morality, even if he's one of Healing now, cheating tends to start a lot of fights, as the lust settles into their bones. As time goes on, they become detached and aloof, holding themselves apart from humanity and each other...this won't be good.((MOAR ELFY)) Tylea, on the other hand, is having some luck. You gain some small followers, and the Church of the Ordered Sun is completely set up, with Tylea at it's head. The other clergy members insist she leaves the minor miracles to them, and conserve her strength for when she must 'inevitably' be the mouthpiece for you. Her disciples though, can spread the word easily.

As you wake, it disturbs even you, but you can't seem to stop...as well, you've gained a nasty tendency to shoot flame from your 'fingers' randomly and uncontrollably. The fuck? You search within your divine metabolism...and find that you are sick. A spawn of Javier, no doubt. You reflect on your dreams, and smile at the chaos and destruction in them; flame and earth breaking upheavals. Now...what's changed? Where's Carolus? CHARLIE?

Members: Alrezar, Azaroth, Azem, Jim
Income(here's how it works. Pool the top six earner's individual income. Divide equally and give to each of you. As well, you gain 10% per person in the pantheon, up to five, of your normal power as a bonus. And then you pay for Pantheon upkeep together, too. You're like roommates! This can and will easily change. Also, more efficient for Gods, and least for Fae.): 120. 30 to each member.
Upkeep: (Square the number of members. That's the percentage of people you have to pay an upkeep cost equal to. Meaning now, it's 16%, or for my ease, 15%): 20

Azem

Order the Dwarves to begin construction of a temple to Draco. And Me of course.

Find the place where Delmas fell and begin carving out Divalcatraz.

Give the greatest warrior of the Pantheon power over Fire.

And have the Fire Imp cleanse the Chaos Creatures.

And the give the Dwarves dreams of your glorious new city. Again.

Could you give my imps names Geek?

Have them construct a city with the zombies as slaves. This shall contain a library of dark secrets, homes for the necromancers, walls to keep them safe, and a mine in which to look for ores and to use zombies as slaves.

Have my angel lead Carolus' armies.
Why do i have the feeling that Azem has taken my champion? Fuck it, even if he hasn't he knows who did!
Fart on Azem's city. If he tells me to stop, slap him and tell him to give me Carolus. If he doesn't IGNITE THE FART.
And when I get Carolus back, have him lead the armies once more and absorb my angel for mana.

I'M BACK BITCHES, AND MY GASTROINTESTINAL PROBLEMS HAVE ONLY MADE ME ANGRIER.
And if I get the chance, call up the Atheists and tell them that they are alright with me, GIVE THEM A PSYCHIC MANLY-ASS HUG.

Alrezar

"This... What could have done this? Delmas could have brought down an entire army of humans with his strength, and he had an entire party of warriors with him. And those burn marks... No, definitely not men."

"If whatever did this can hear and understand me... This means war!"

"Azem... this prison that we're building... I have no doubt that it will hold even the strongest of men, but you must ensure that it can stand against whatever did this. If it does not listen to reason and proves too difficult to kill, then we may have to hold it here."

Return to Rhumengarde and tell my people of this unknown threat. Have them work on fortifying the central manor and the surrounding villages and towns.

Attempt to capture and domesticate a species of seabird. If successful, then attempt to use magic to enlarge them to roughly the size of horses, and have some of my raiders learn to use them as mounts.

Finally, work with the people to build a temple for the collective pantheon, complete with altars made out of their respective materials: Ice for myself, Gold for Azem, Iron for Azaroth, and Bronze for Jim. Also include several small empty spaces, which members of my court may build their own altars on if they so desire.

Go looking for an isolated city and see if they'll worship me. Accept Draco's offer. I don't see why not, and I don't want to fight with anyone. Not my thing.

((OOC)) I'd like to make one final change: Music main, and instead of my second minor being "!!FUN!!" substances, I'd like it to be funerals. Because you hear music at parties, and when you bury someone.
