Go ask the Golden Emperor if he'd be willing to share the Godwine with me.

Ignore the part about the eels then.
I failed to notice earlier, but the other issue is that creating a volcanic planet has nothing whatsoever to do with your sphere, and is thus outside your power. Attempting to create a relevant form of life already on it is a separate action and therefore can't help you there.

Planet Onion.
It finally gets a name, eh?

((So did the gaggle of Gassians make it to the ship?))

((No. They're on their way, but it'll take them a few turns and they might have difficulties. This is more of a pilgrimage or migration than a day trip.))

"Heavens no!" the Golden Emperor proclaims disdainfully, clutching it away from you. "Such a prize could only be awarded to one who had made the universe a better place, wouldn't you agree?"

Turn 19: Intent


Grrr. Revert that, and make them worship me!

((Give me a good roll for once!))
((Never.))

[4] You turn them into beasts sacred to yourself, altering their feathers into lashing pain-things and their cuddling to enraged torture. They're not intelligent enough to "worship" you, though, acting more like sacred idols.


(Right, sorry bout that, lucky that I got a okay roll, anyway.)
"That went... Surprisingly okay, huh, oh well, at least I'm glad I already have something that'll fit right in."
take some slimes from that... Place and gift them with sentience before plonking them on my planet, and make them change size and shape from their environments as well, just for funzies.
To Rassura: "Oh, do I need any help? Hmmmmm, well, if you want to, I'd be happy to let you play around with my planet, it is a bit... Drab anyway."
((This still has nothing to do with autonomy. You're not making them self-reliant or self-governing, you're making them sentient and adaptive. I guess the adaptation thing could have some relevance in giving them free reign to live where they choose, but that's still pushing it.))

[4] You gather up a bunch of slimes from the planet and plop them onto your world, altering them as you do so to slowly shift to meet the needs of whatever environment they find themselves in.


More animals. All sorts of animals.
[4] You add parasitic ovipositor beetles, pigs that swallow victims whole, octopi with paralyzing tentacles so they can eat their still-conscious prey slowly, and all other manner of perhaps too poorly defined animals.

[5] Odura creates Hunter Giants, cunning, lithe humanoids of excessive size. She licks her chops, looking forward to hunting them.

[5] Sharkon creates Waterfruit Palms, small palmlike trees which produce large, glowing blue fruit that shimmers like water. As the name suggests, the fruit carry a great deal of water, and if left to their own devices will drop and spill their contents into the soil, typically resulting in oases around them.


Make all of the eels insane with fear and create a volcanic planet with several nightmarish creatures.
[3] You create an unstable volcanic world. It's kind of scary.


To Rassura: "No. How about you'll have a little break with some of this cake I made?"

When Zekira inevitably tries to prove her might to the eels, instead explode the target of her powers into confetti. Manifest myself to the eels.

To eels: "See? What a treacherous one she is. Definitely not worth worshiping. I'm not saying that you should worship me instead, but I wouldn't mind it."
[4] Your plan is made considerably more difficult by a number of obstacles, such as Zekira's displays involving warning them of events to come and the eels very seldom congregating in one place. Nonetheless, you do manage to ruin her image with well-timed confetti blasts, scaring the recipients of her prophecies while driving away the fated event.

[2] Zekira makes little progress with the eels. They're too distrustful and superstitious to let her read fortunes for them most of the time anyway.


"That sounds like a wonderful idea!"
Rassura, of course, knows she doesn't need food, and thus decides to give the cake to the wolf people as a gift.
[2] The wolf people cough and choke on the peppery air around the cake, decidedly unhappy.


((I enjoy it when Archdemons of terrible things fail so miserably.))

Address Octin!

"Say, Mr., erm, Octin! I notice that you appear to be working on a planet that, unlike most of these creations, isn't completely awful from the get-go! Mind if I help?"

If Octin doesn't mind, and I don't really see why he would, populate the shallower areas of warmer seas of his planet with the foundation of any self-sufficient planet - photosynthetic organisms!

In this case, try to create them more specifically than before - the initial seedling of life will be several distinct species of small Trichoplax-like organisms, a conglomerate of semi-independent, centrally uncoordinated cells capable of freely splitting from one another and forming new organisms. The organisms themselves are relatively small film-like colonies that will either be sedentary and attached to the sea floor, swimming freely to better reach the light, or scouring the depths - the free-swimming and sedentary types will presumably be the most effective, if not necessarily most naturally talented at photosynthesis, naturally.

And of course, all creations on the planet belong to Octin and none other. Such is the creative license at work here, right?

[4] You create a variety of slime things on Octin's planet, semi-independent photosynthetic cells gathered into homogeneous colonies.


Create a species of small metal men who are immune to frost to live on Sevay.
[6] You create small metal men, immune to frost and common sense. They are fond of drink and industry.


((So did the gaggle of Gassians make it to the ship?))

"It's working. I should celebrate. But first I'll need some wine."

Go ask the Golden Emperor if he'd be willing to share the Godwine with me.
[3] The Gassians heading to the Slime ship make slow progress, wary and sightseeing.

((...

Strike out your old actions when posting new ones.))


Mort briefly stops observing the slimes and looks over at the emperor

"You should try it some time, broaden your horizons and such. You know" He briefly glances at his wristwatch "Before you die."
"Nonsense!" he declares grandly, throwing his head back and his hand to the... well there is no sky, but "up." "One of my magnificence shall surely exist forever!"

[5] He produces a bottle of Fine Godswine. Rather than adding a +1 bonus to one godly creation, it allows its imbiber to reroll their action if the result is less than a [4].

[1-1] The Cool Crab immediately freezes himself solid in orbit around Sevay.


Current Archdemon Possessions:
Caidutya (IcyTea), Archdemon of Surprise - None
Octin (Dumbo), Archdemon of Autonomy - Planet inhabited by Slimes and slime
Axmes (blazing), Archdemon of Terror - Planet
Azuul (Playergamer), Archdemon of Rage - Rage Crabs
Zekira, Archdemon of Omens - Avatar, believed in and valued by really dumb eelfolk

Caidutya feels his powers waning (-1 to actions). The other Archdemons feel safe for a few turns, but not long.

Eat some space eels wolf people, preferably enlisting the aid of the space sharks whilst coming up with a plan, namely one to keep Firak from clogging up the universe.

((At this rate, we may have to lock Kevak into a small corner of the universe so he doesn't flood the rest of it with offspring...))

Let's try to make a creature. Something large and avian, with a body made of storm clouds so that physical attacks will be ineffective against it. Make it wreathed in lightning, with the ability to hurl lightning bolts and breathe poisonous gases. Or maybe make that giant Storm Rhino from James and the Giant Peach, but with the ability to hurl lightning bolts and breathe poisonous gases. Also maybe some other air-based life on Burrito.

Azuul tries to give the crabs some limited intelligence, enough to hunt in a pack, and sends them to kill other animals to sacrifice to him.

Create a giant frostforge in the core of Sevay. Tell a select few metal men where it is, and command them to preach to the others in order to make them all worship me.

Create an avatar amidst the eels and near that of Zekira. Attempt to convert worship via a speech:

"Listen, life's no fun if you know what's to come, there has to be surprise to it. Don't you realize Zekira is turning you into her drones, expecting you to turn to her with life's questions for easy answers that might not even be correct? There are powers out there capable of making any omen moot, you are worshiping a liar. Truth is, there is no future to be seen, only the moment. Follow me, and understand there is nothing but the moment to be savoured. (And the past, but that gets dull soon after.) Follow me, and embrace how unsure you are of life. Follow me, and prepare for anything."

"Forever, so you say you are immortal?" Mort says, saying the last word like one would would utter the name of a particularly disgusting venereal disease

Try to catch the emperor's lifeforce on my watch and see how much time he has left.
