[Ambidextrous]

The Philosopher sees an a scroll of parchment, with a pen and a bottle of ink. If he tries to write on the paper using it, the parchment will absorb the ink, leaving it as empty as before.
Several vines grow over the Elf while s(he) sleeps. When s(he) awakes, it'll take him/her some effort to break free.
The Pilgrim sees an altar to whichever god s(he) believes in, as well as a small, crumbling hole with a glowing pick laying nearby.
The Monk comes to a part of the cavern filled with darkness. Ominous whispering voices surround him/her.

[IcyTea31]

Cim, there was nothing there... Are you cursed or something?

"Not that I know of. Distressing."

[Andres]

Jeffrey appears. "Hiding, Yaos. I'm not as strong as even your weakest angels." He looks around for a second at what he imagines are frowning angels.

"Not that there are any of those here."

"Well next time give me a heads up whenever you see a god-injuring archangel show up in the Human Plane."

Yaos reverts to his female self.

Most of the Ikakus' energy blasts are reflected or transmit through the quartz dragon, forcing both to fight claw-to-claw. Both of them withdraw out of exhaustion.

"Dang Azem! How strong did you make those scales? I bet you could qualify as a god of armour if you put your mind to it! At least I don't have to pay that Gem Dragon anything, now."
(Uh, KJP, what's your interpretation of 'energy'? Cuz it's not lasers and it's not light.)

The riots on Keshan seem to be about bored adolescents wanting something to do, outrage over random murders, the poor wanting food, scandals involving the local governors, and more contrived things.

I guess I'll send the Emperor back to govern the Empire. He's done his job long enough, he'd know how to handle the problems.

The Psymental Angel is sent to every Inquisition building with the VDD to check for Void influence. The Inquisition must remain pure!

Send Ignatius (the Duondio) to the best Elemental trainers so he can properly hone his talents.

[Vgray]

"God of lizards maybe. You try Mountwyrms next."

[Andres]

"They're just humanoids with wings. I strongly doubt they can beat an Ikaku."

[Kilojoule Proton]

Varee and Azem:
The Mountwyrms are mostly looting the merchants and toppling anything not nailed down. Azem produces many shinies, which distracts the crowd. The riot is starting to die down mostly from lack of interest.

Azem:
The Shiny Ones decide to practice dance-based combat on a bet from a random mage in a thick cloak visiting for a day.

Serac: There seem to be no significant riots on the islands.

Kli:
The philosopher begins attempting to write a report only to find the words disappearing. He continues deeper into the labyrinth, unamused but unafraid.
The Elf wakes up and struggles to get the specially grown bedroll out before getting out. The Elf finds a Hummingbird, asks for directions to the nearest Wood Elf settlement, and leaves.
The Pilgrim picks up the pick and turns it around several times before placing it back. The Pilgrim kneels at the altar and asks that you show the way.
THe Monk puts on her blindfold and continues. While the voices unsettle her, she trusts that the danger is not real.

Yaos:
Jeffrey: "I'll try, but I can't guarantee it."

(Hmm. I'll have to remember about the energy not being just light energy for next time.)

You send the Emperor back to manage the Empire. He is absolutely furious at the incompetence of his temporary replacement and exiles him. He sends Inquisitors and town guards and some of the army to stop the rioting immediately.

The psymental angel has detected five Void-related Inquisitors so far.

Ignatius has been sent to a great elementalist for training. Ignatius seems to tend toward wanting to live a peaceful life in the countryside again but trains mostly out of obedience.

*Ahem*

When the Duondio reincarnates next time, a replacement soul will be made that'll be roughly the same, but it'll also have an instinctual desire to help people with its powers. And by 'help people with its powers' I mean the whole fighting off monsters and saving villages and stuff - NOT just warming up fires for other people.

[Ambidextrous]

The Philosopher comes across a giant coin of gold, and a giant coin of silver. The pen glows and writes on the parchment: "Write down why these two coins, while still very shiny, may be of different worth to many mortals."
The Pilgrim sees Kli's symbol appear above the altar, and hears a gentle voice: "The smallest gifts can sometimes hide the greatest worth. Your pick aches to complete the task it had been given before..."
The Monk finds many obstacles blocking her path through the darkness. As she continues onwards, the voices grow loud enough for her to hear distinct words. "What....is....fear?"

[Kilojoule Proton]

Tick 36.5: Spooky Happenings

Much rioting has occurred and faded.

Cim has reported a very nearly successful assassination attempt by what appears to be a jelly roll, and the Void Things have apparently claimed no responsibility. Serac has investigated the site of the attempt with protection and guards and seems not to have found anyone or anything.

The monsters appear only rarely now.

A Luminee kingdom on Slytha has been conquered by a human empire. The victorious young emperor has taken the Luminee princess to be his queen despite her protests. He notices a drastic increase in assassination attempts.

Darruth has propagated the Seraphim for the purpose of increasing genetic diversity manually. A proposal to propagate races to 2 500 population has passed.

Kli has created a labyrinthine complex beneath the Trees designed to challenge visitors and train them in the ways of Balance. A Hummingbird philosopher, a lost Wood Elf, a Luminee pilgrim, and a Hummingbird monk have entered, probably separated by a week or two between exits and next-entrances.

• The philosopher writes that they exemplify certain virtues that differ between races, and that a greater emphasis on one will most likely result in greater value for it.
• The pilgrim takes the pick and swings at the hole a few times.
• The monk asks "What is fear?"

This update's constellations are the Lance and Ship.

Spoiler: Council rules (+1) (click to show/hide)

These are all subject to addition, removal, and change by you. They can effect changes in the game's core rules (mechanics), administrative laws (voting requirements, seniority privilegs, &c.) or the natural rules (light does not exist, gravity is repulsive, giant animals can fly like birds, &c.).
Administrative:
An active player is defined as a player who has posted within the thread within the last two (2) UTC days.

A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Council resolutions will not be counted until at least a major tick has passed.

Council-produced creations are not to be tampered with without council approval. Failure to comply will result in the automated initiation of a trial.

03.01: Only deities supporting a proposal enter the Essence pool

04.03: Remove proposals stagnant for 3 ticks or double opposed to supported for 1 tick <0>

Proposals at [IMMINENT PASS] will pass immediately if 80% of the Support or Oppose votes are Support votes.

34.05: A trial will end after 2 integer ticks (from Tx to Tx+2) with votes tallied based solely on support and opposition. Conflict results in comparing support and opposition.

The pen replies to the Philosopher, "Why are these coins of different value to you?"
The wall collapses, showing a room with a mural of a Hummingbird in flight next to another passageway. Written on a plague below: "Dedication is the seed, but actions bear fruit."

Height: 1.9-2.4 metres

Their skin is ebony black (and reflective). Their hair is and eyes are monochrome.
They are weaker than humans but much faster and nimbler (as in 5-7 times).
They are prone to peaceful, serene life and philosophy.
They are living in villages and nomadic tribes. Each community is quite anarchic, but chooses temporary leaders for current problems. They have philosophical schools dedicated to divine concepts and their analysis.
