I have an idea I don't know why I didn't/we didn't before.
Life isn't just plants. It's animals. Which means bones. Bones are ten times as strong as steel for their weight. We can make an animal or animals that have super thick skin to use as leather, or really hard scales, or solid bones, all to use as weapons and armor. Primitive looking? Sure. Effective? Most definitely. We could probably make some bad-ass warbeasts with Chaos and Fire as well.
True. But plants can feed themselves, usually. We're lucky that firejackets can derive sustenance from fire.
Besides, Maher has proven his people can make undead minions out of creatures with endoskeletons. We should stick to exoskeletons and no skeletons for now.
Anyway, Laksus did us a neat service. And he's probably right. We could go in and take the village over. But we lack the forces required(they're being grown). I'm also willing to bet Maher knew something like this would occur, so there are probably no hard feelings between us. Still, he's gotta be careful, this DOES open us up to retaliation. We should inform him to run any raids he has planned by us, too. We may be a god of Chaos, but we like to know what's going on.
Though, if Laksus is sneaky enough... lets send him scouting, to check on Maher's troop movements and generally what the guy is up to. He's free to devour any wayward villagers, but he's not to attract any extra attention, like the kind you get busting down doors, or defiling altars. His body is unique, and it would be impossible to correctly rebuild it. Chaos, you know?
Oh, and we should ask Krait why these little plant dudes we made don't have souls; not that we expected them to, but it does intrigue the academic mind. Then, an even better question is: how do orcs have souls? Hmm.. how intelligent are the plant people? Insect? Cat? Small Child? Adult Human? They ought to be at least as smart as their undead counterparts.
Next up is the Blaze Beetles, or something that serves as an analog to Krait's basilisks, only bug/plant, and perhaps, Sprinkles.
We may be able to rope a bunch of chaos gods into helping us make them. All of us pour our more offense-driven powers into them, and we, Donut, make them into living creatures. Then we equally split some of the individuals, and breed the critters for their randomized explosive effects.
EDIT: OH. I noticed our 'religion' is a little lacking in practices. How about we get the priest to hold a service, or mass, or big ol' get together or potluck or something, every [week? two weeks? Month?] in the temple. Everyone builds a big bonfire for warmth, sings songs, eats special fruit or something, and generally relaxes. We can use the bonfire to breed more Firejackets, and get togethers will help us with morale. It may also provide mana. Oh, new plant idea: super-hops. Makes super-beer. And, you know, religious delicious fruit.
