[DreamerGhost]

(Z has roughly 50% chance of not reacting to being pressed on my keyboard. Quartz is 11 times harder than marble.)

[Andres]

(And Eudialyte? Is that just to provide the red (which I offered to do myself) or is it structural good?)

[DreamerGhost]

(It is there to provide red, but it is also 5-8 times harder than marble. As hardness goes, castle is basicly granite.)

Tick 88: Soap from monsters

A powerful temporal shudder rocks the Bubble.

The monsters at the Armu capital have become even more dangerous! Additionally, sightings have been confirmed in large Human cities and many random places!

The Armu capital has suddenly been rapidly cleared of monsters.

GEs: Yes, but they could probably use some fine-tuning.

The magic Fetus of Forgiveness has become the Ragamuffin of Revelry (but is still not born). This is not the Luminee family with the one dude and the Lady and the wacky hijinks, but it can be described using similar terms.

(Cut off from society; sticks to the old branch of necromanc; no particular allegiance to either of Malakath or Atropos.)

(Mumans before Revolution: Over 2 000, I think.)

Grauel has analyzed a few of the creatures. They do not seem to be aligned with any god in particular, but they do seem to be perpetually hungry.

KI'Tork has given the chef who liked the maggots a bucket of the fallen ones. The Feast-goers are mostly satisfied and eagerly waiting for the slower dishes. He also attempts to fill Grauel, with no visible success. KI'Tork continues to encourage his worshippers to worship Neron.

The Frozen Guard have, after much difficulty, managed to capture a few of the monsters for further study at NUKE. Testing has begun on them.

Neron has had one of the frozen seeds planted and cared for by the Pine Tree Titans.

Fortuna has joined a band of traders to help with their trading. Regrettably (but fortunately for the traders), the bandits seem to be on strike following some vigilante action.
"Sure, why not?"
The dude throws the cards in the air, and they end up landing in order. He snickers, shuffles the deck, and cuts it as requested.
"You go first, divine one!"
(Freebie from IC thread stuff: Varee, in a fit of randomness, gave the Rod of Amazement to a formerly unlucky man. That man is now supernaturally lucky and has evaded countless assassination attempts but mostly just spends his time trying to enjoy a rich, long life. Typically, I leave the specifics of what to do to the players.)

Oracle:
Q: "Who created the parasites that Tykki is curently fighting?"
A: "KI'Tork."

Khaziraad has created a castle of eudialyte and milky quartz for Lecty's knights. A passing knight says "It's only a model!"

Spoiler: Material hardness (click to show/hide)

(Hardness seems to be frequently associated with brittleness. I think this explains why we don't use high-carbon steel for everything structural because softer steels will tend to bend rather than break or something like that. Diamonds are typically seen as the hardest materials in every way but are not too hard to shattering.)

Kyloth has attempted to smash the Void statue, and the base breaks, but it remains unbroken despite the hammer's ability.

(I'd have thought someone would have created Gossip Angels by now.)

This update's constellations are the Human and Pentagram. Solar activity continues to be elevated for the Slythan sun.

(KI'Tork: -3E, Khaziraad: -3E, Atropos: +2E)

[DreamerGhost]

(Was I just charged 3E for model castle or is that knight being silly?)

[Andres]

(Was I just charged 3E for model castle or is that knight being silly?)

(This I would like to know. I'm all set to create my knights barring this. So long as the castle's material doesn't degrade any worse than normal materials I'd be fine. Who'd be insane enough to besiege the castle of supersoldiers whose patron is a literal god anyway?)

[Stirk]

"Ah, I thought you were looking for the God. The Null who offered me the pact was 'eehytlcafhshaes, "Evie", my primary contact with the Liminals."

((Edit: Evie = Smith of Order))

"He is in my book. I know everything about Weapons and those who craft them. Strange, by the description in the book a hammer he made sounded impressive, it was Kloth's hammer far before Kloth was born. I would have never thought such a smith would come from the weakest faction..."

A powerful temporal shudder rocks the Bubble.

"We should really stop letting that go unchecked. It is starting to look suspicious."

The monsters at the Armu capital have become even more dangerous! Additionally, sightings have been confirmed in large Human cities and many random places!

"They have also been defeated. I found quite a simple way to wipe out the enemies without harming any buildings. I will gladly do the same, if you can evacuate the cities completely. It is deadly, after all."

Q: "Who created the parasites that Tykki is curently fighting?"
A: "KI'Tork."

".....
.....
.....
Did the Oracle just give a straight, potentially correct, answer? I can't believe this. What do you say for yourself God of Kitchens? I am about five seconds from destroying you. Unless this is a lie, told by the God of Lies..."

(Was I just charged 3E for model castle or is that knight being silly?)

(You asked the question, remember?)

[Quartz_Mace]

"Afraid that's not me, Fusil. If you'll excuse me, I have my own monsters to deal with."

[LuckyKobold]

"I secretly created a prototype physical kitchen spirit to enhance the feast and possibly even fill Grauel but a Void Entity stole them and proceeded to corrupt their design to the point that they became monstrosities and then unleashed them on the Armu, I can't imagine why they would have attacked one of the only races capable of easily rebuffing their attacks.I kept it secret because I didn't want a mortal panic. The Essence I spent the last few turns was an attempt to reduce their numbers but apparently the Thief that stole them keeps creating more, But to an extent I suppose that the Oracle was correct, After all I did originally create the Prototypes although I certainly didn't intend for them to be used like this!"
KI'Tork goes into a bloody rage and all nearby gods and mortals suddenly feel quite stuffed.

"I shall create a cure to oppose this corruption!"
KI'Tork attempts to create an antidote to reduce the spread of the Parasites and proceeds to smite large gatherings of them.

"Neron, It might be a little while before we can finish our Solar System for obvious reasons."

[Ama]

"Don`t worry KI` Tork this is a bit more important."

All cities of the North are to be under watch and a group of Frozen Guard lead by Merwen is to attack the monsters appearing in the human cities. The Frozen Guards is to freeze as many of the monsters as they can to send back to NUKE.

"The Oracle said the Lich was causing these weird temporal shudders, probably to create these weird monsters."

[DreamerGhost]

(You asked the question, remember?)

For the oracle, I still have my one free question. Let's give it a try.

I'm willing to believe KI'Tork, he has less of a reason to wish Fusil harm than I do. Oracle seems to be more inteligent and less benigin than given credit for, as it probably knew that it was one uninformative answer away from being ground up into fine powder. Pity, that simplicity of my question left out other plagues, but now that we have a working method, finding out what caused other plagues should be simpler.

Cim, I am rather interested in Evie, if what Fusil said is right and it indeed created same hammer that Kyloth uses. Could you put us into contact?

If castle that I made is indeed just a model, make a proper one.

[IcyTea31]

Cim, I am rather interested in Evie, if what Fusil said is right and it indeed created same hammer that Kyloth uses. Could you put us into contact?

"I will ask, although it will most likely take a Tick or two for it to forge another communication artifact, or it might reject. I urge you to always be wary and skeptical when dealing with the Null, however. This is at your own risk."

[Lord_lemonpie]

Listen to prayers

[Kilojoule Proton]

(The knight was just being silly. 3E was for the massive castle, but for some reason, I saw a 3E deduction and assumed it was an Oracle one, so (Atropos: -2E))

(The Oracle gave a "proper" answer because the question was asked in a way not conducive to caused-all-of-the-following interpretations, unlike some of the last few questions.)

(Darruth: +10-2E, Khaziraad: -2E, Azem: -3E)
Darruth's investment has been refunded and recalculated with the aid of Khaziraad and Azem taken into account.

(KI'Tork: -2E)
KI'Tork:  All of the gods suddenly feel stuffed!

You have created an antidote to reduce the spread of the parasites, although it could use some improvement. You also smite large numbers of them, but they seem to multiply very quickly.

Neron: The Frozen Guard and Merwen have begun attacking and freezing the monsters in the nearby human cities.

Melyssa:
"These new pets are awesome!"
"There is no one left to torture in our funhouse."
"They lied about the bed of nails! It's too comfortable!"

[LuckyKobold]

KI'Tork suddenly grins and looks at Grauel.

"I HAVE FILLED THE GOD OF GLUTTONY HIMSELF!!!!!!"
