Turn 2: LargerWell. The prank didn't quite work out, but I now have more exciting things to be doing: Explore!
Ride the Birdwinds! Swoooosh! Also, I am now Demihemios, God of Winds!
[Good] Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!
Demihemios, God of Winds enjoyed a nice ride recently.
+1 SpiritQuerceus found himself in a peculiar situation. Sure he was inside the tree, but not in the way he imagined.
Attempt to break free, but in a way that he still inhabits the tree.
So I did not manage to make the trees self-aware?
[Good] You manage to crack free of your bindings without escaping the tree entirely. The tree still suffers grievous cracks as a result, but you're somewhat melded with it, putting you somewhere between full godhood and full treedom.
Colossal Tree (Quercus; Semi-Devoured)A massive white tree that towers high above the forest around it. Grievous cracks run rampant throughout, but it remains standing.
+1 Spirit"Creatures deserving of the Throne. Excellent."
Modify some fish to allow them to photosynthesise after consuming algae. Acquire Fish Sphere if successful.
((a species of water snail actually does this.))
[Poor] You create some fish with a bizarre life cycle- once they've mated, they start to rot, and the algae they feed upon begin consuming them. When the eggs hatch, the fishlings have a giant mass of algae to feed upon and hide inside.
You call yourself God of Fish as a result.
Rotfish (Korwa)Silvery fish with a bizarre life cycle- once they've mated, they start to rot, and the algae they feed upon begin consuming them. When the eggs hatch, the fishlings have a giant mass of algae to feed upon and hide inside.
The Superb Owl is not phased by its inability to find a mate. It is an owl, after all. A Superb Owl.
The Superb Owl makes the Birdwinds more bird-like to become the God of Birds.
[Good] You increase the birdliness of the shapes and the erraticness of their flights, making them look much more like living things.
You attempt to declare yourself God of Birds, but with your only (corporeal) claim being a modification of someone else's works, it falls flat.
Birdwinds (Demihemios, Superb Owl)Fast-moving clouds sometimes take on very birdlike shapes as they travel through the sky, and frequently perform erratic, birdlike motions and changes in direction. The results often look like a flock of birds.
+1 Spirit"Soon my children we will become great!" I make them even smarter.
[Normal] You improve their intelligence further, causing them to sometimes play with random objects as though attempting to understand them.
Snickerlizards (Bob)These large lizards are extraordinarily intelligent for lizards, and routinely display uncannily cunning behavior. They are fairly social as a result, and prone to occasionally playing with objects.
Tesserb is disappointed. Sure, the cringemice huddle together and are +Kawaii+, but they just don't do anything else... Something must be done.
Slightly reduce the fear of Cringemice. They'll still be cowards, but at least they should get their shit together and live normally. Increase their intelligence if possible, slightly.
Find another kind of rodents, squirrels or other hyperactive kind, living in the same area than cringemice, and make them reckless (though not enough to put them in danger of extinction).
[Poor] You fumble with trying to accomplish two things at once, before making some of the Cringemice bullies. The rest have a tendency to be goaded into action by the biggest members, who are still too cowardly to do anything themselves when they can panic and coerce others into doing it for them.
Cringemice (Tesserb)These fairly large, plump, brown rodents have large eyes for their size. They tend to huddle fearfully in groups when not doing anything else, but are usually being bullied into action by the largest and no less cowardly amongst them.
Make the shrimp have sharp pinchers. Claim Sphere of Sharp Objects
Darkbane was annoyed. Seriously, were shrimp the best he could find!?. Still, give them so pinchers, make them bigger.... He could work with this.
[Poor] Their "pinchers" come out as pointy little needle-legs. They're sharp, at least, so you claim yourself God of Sharp Objects.
Needleshrimp (Darkbane)These small shrimp have very pointy, needle-like legs that they can use to stab things.
Gorlacois was quite pleased with his creation. Still, he thought they needed something more.
Attempt to increase the size of Spitesnakes and slightly increase the potency of their poison. If I can't do that yet, make Snickerlizards or Cringemice vengeful creatures.
[Poor] You end up making them longer rather than "larger" in the more traditional sense.
Spitesnakes (Gorlacois)These small, long green snakes are unusually good at remembering and reacting to things that have wronged them in the past.
Break free enough to manipulate the tree some more. Make it's roots grow farther and travel to and fro using the roots.
[Poor] Your attempts to break free are clumsy, at best. The Cloaktrees detonate with the force of their patron extracting himself, creating a blinding miasma where they once stood.
You remain partially in their stumps and roots.
Miasma Grove (Liar)This area is thick with a blinding miasma. The jagged black stumps of thin trees are common here, as is little else.
Ralex examines his surroundings for decomposers.
((Ah yes, sorry about that. You may indeed join anytime and act immediately until the roster is more formalized.))
[CRIT][Poor] You find...
...oh no.
[Super Secret Results PM'd]
Increase the size of the acid eagles.
Claim Bird Sphere if possible.
Damn birdclouds messing up my plans.
[Poor] You make the acid eagles fluffier, not really "larger."
Acid Eagles (Flowery Sunshine)These very fluffy eagles can vomit stomach acids at things that annoy them. While not generally useful for catching prey, it does make them unpleasant to deal with.
You try to claim the title God of Birds, but you're still not in a clear lead over the other two pretenders.
