[Ardent Debater]

Spoiler: I won't Munchkin this time, I promise. (click to show/hide)

Name: Trogdor The Primal
Abilities:

- Devolving Animals and Plants into more Savage/Ancient versions of themselves, Such as a Human to a Neanderthal then to a Gorilla and so on.
- Causing Plants to grow Hyper-Fast, Like a 5 mile wide Jungle springing up in the Middle of New York City in only a week.
- Causing Modern Things to decompose Quickly, Such as a Gun Barrel turning to rust in half a minute, Or concrete slowly turning to mud over the course of a month.
- Inspiring Strong Emotions in living things, Such as Rage in his Cultists and Hopelessness for an Architect, For Example.
- Shaping The Earth on a Large Scale, Like Remaking Pangaea at the Absolute Peak of his Power.

Appearance: He is 50 Feet Tall and Looks like a cross between a Giant Cockroach and a Very Muscled Gorilla, He's also Red. He has the Regenerative Powers of a Cockroach, Allowing him to heal slightly faster than most other Horrors. He can breath Fire and wields a Massive Wooden Club made of the Magical Trees of his Home, The Club isn't any stronger than an Ordinary Wooden Club, But it is Flame Retardent and the Wood can and will slowly regrow itself to it's former proportions. Trogdor,is, Actually Very Small by his Race's Standards.

Homeworld: Trogdor was spawned in the Death Pits of Alternate Earth Number 999/111. In the Alternate Timeline The Dinosaurs never went Extinct and Prospered, Until a Very Sadistic Eldritch Being with an Unpronounceable name showed up. Within a few Centuries Stuff got Pretty Brutal and Trogdor wants to escape to Earth in the hopes that he'll never have to deal with Alternate Earth Number 999/111 and the Evils there ever again. He thinks that The Earth's Life is weak and wishes to use his Power to Bring it back to it's Former Glory. Incidentally, He thinks that Modern Civilization going extinct is a small price to pay for that.

-Malignant Presence: 0 (His Devolving Ability only works on his conscious using it.)
-Mindlock: 0 (He's a Giant Gorilla Cockroach who's seen things that would make Cthulhu slightly uneasy, His Mind isn't exactly stable.)
-Power: 2 (He is very good at what he does.)
-Physique: 3 (Size does Matter.)
-Appeal: 0 (Believe it or not, Most Sane People don't want Human Civilization to be destroyed.)

Current Game Actions:
All Cultists: PROTECT THE WIZARDS!

[Adragis]

((I take it I can apply?))

[Aslandus]

((Sure, and if Nightmare doesn't post an action in the next hour or so her cultists are just gonna sit around for the turn doing nothing.

On another note, how do you guys like the game? I assume you do enjoy it since you're signing up for a second round of it, but is there anything in particular you like?))

[FallacyofUrist]

I like it for Bay 12 brand crazyness. Its fun to be the villain sometimes. The cultists and special powers are my favorite parts.

[wipeout1024]

I think it's the humour, and how open-ended it is.

[Sl4cker]

((Ooh, we're doing sheets now, huh? Well, allow me to jump on the bandwagon!))

Spoiler: Crazy cat god (click to show/hide)

Name: Anthaju
Abilities:
*Resurrect great, historical figures as mummies, making them far more fast, powerful, and less likely to die again. The chance of success is dependant on how famous they are.

*Give those he wishes the power of the dead, turning them into mummified reapers of death, wielding shadowy scimitars and spears. In this state, their soul is sort of "inactive". It's still there, but they can function fine without it.

*Give those he wishes powers of other Egyptian Gods besides Anubis, although this has less likely chance of working.

*Weigh those around him with a scale, a feather, and their soul. If their soul is lighter than the feather and thus pure, nothing happens to them. If it is heavier, they will have a number of negative effects cast upon them.

Appearance: Anthaju is what can only be described as a giant half-cat half-jackal, and this is because he is the soul of Anubis, god of death and the afterlife. His body burns like dark fire, his eyes are single slits the color gold, and he is adorned with golden jewelry. He is around 33 ft high, and 46 ft long.

Homeworld: Anthaju is the soul of Anubis, god of death and the afterlife. Anubis was the only survivor of the domination of Egypt by Persia, where all of the other Gods and Goddesses were defeated and their souls sealed away. They fought valiantly, and killed many, but ultimately the Egyptian pantheon was one of agriculture and nature, very few were willing to fight. Anubis, in a last ditch effort, hid his soul (as his body would be easily spotted) in the dead King Tutankhamun's tomb, lying dormant but not sealed. After centuries, he awakens again; seeking to be summoned at full power by the archeologists, who only now are exploring the ancient lands once again. He seeks to revive his brothers, to let the world know of the glory of the desert once more.
Presence: 0 I have no eye for passive effects. What if my followers are harmed by my presence? What if my enemies are healed? Foolish.
Mindlock: 1 The world will know sand once more. I will make sure of it.
Power: 2 I am the god of death! Cross me and you shall be judged. Help me and you will be spared.
Physique: 1 I am shadow. Just TRY to hit me.
Appeal: 1 Though the world will be desert, I, if not, my siblings, are benevolent beings. The world will be better. Simpler.

((What I like about the game? I dunno, I guess the idea of eldritch beings duking it out sounds neat. And it is.))

[Aslandus]

Nightmare's cultists honor their deity of the dark by doing absolutely nothing. Except being alive, so I suppose that's something.

((wow, if this ends in a double fatality I might have to call it a draw... or give it to the NPC horrors just for outliving the actual players...))

[Sl4cker]

((Swamp water beats fire, right?
Right?
Either way, this will probably be a good finale))

[InsaneRationalist]

I would like to play.

Spoiler: Koshu (click to show/hide)

Name: Koshu, the Descending Star

Abilities:
- Telekinesis, the Grasp of Its Soul: Strengthened when manipulating glass or crystals (and to a lesser degree rock or metals), weakened with distance and when manipulating soft or flexible objects (nearly useless on liquids or gasses). Passively lifts itself and its halo.
- Regeneration, the Shroud of Its Soul: Continually generates more obsidian; when healthy, pieces break off and join its halo. (Halo shards also grow, if large enough, but they normally quickly shatter due to internal stresses.)
- Telepathy, the Song of Its Soul: How it communicates, lacking any mouth to speak or ears to hear. The weak-minded can only sing along to its tune, though.

Appearance: A huge, floating shard of of obsidian, surrounded by a halo of smaller shards. It is very roughly octohedral, about five meters wide and six tall. It can move each shard of its halo with as much precision (and as little exertion) as a human might move a finger.

Homeworld: A dead universe filled with rocky asteroids and inert gas clouds. It finds humans entertaining, though it would prefer if they were made out of good honest glass and metal like the tiny not-moons that first attracted its attention to Earth.

Skills:
- Presence: 0 (Somewhat awe-inspiring, but that's mostly by virtue of being a giant floating rock.)
- Mindlock: 0 (Has spent far too long alone and very bored. And is very bored. And alone.)
- Power: 4 (Its entire body and halo acts as a massive focussing crystal.)
- Physique: 0 (A lack of vital organs makes it hard to finish off, but it is very much a (literal) glass cannon.)
- Appeal: 1 (It looks pretty and seems friendly.)

[Aslandus]

((Swamp water beats fire, right?
Right?
Either way, this will probably be a good finale))

((It would, but that's alcohol burning you. Don't worry, it won't kill you... not by itself, at least...))

[wipeout1024]

Can you add the nerve gas I got last turn, to the inventory?

[wipeout1024]

I changed my cultists action to 30 cultists attacking Plague Doctor.

[Aslandus]

Can you add the nerve gas I got last turn, to the inventory?

Sorry, I thought I had missed something... I'll do the turn tomorrow if you guys want to adjust  your actions, I need to get some sleep. Which probably makes skipping Nightmare's turn unnecessary, but oh well...

[Ardent Debater]

((I'll change my actions.))

68 Cultists: Acquire 100 Assault Rifles and Corresponding Ammunition.
50 Cultists: Recruit More Cultists.
25 Cultists: Try to Spread Carl Yelvin Propaganda to improve public opinion of the Cult.
75: Attack The Inquisitors.
20 Cultists: Build Defenses for the Warehouse Base and Attack anybody or anything that attempts to harm The Wizards.
8 Steel Golems and 30 Cultists: Guard The Unconscious Wizards.

[Aslandus]

Use the nerve gas on Plague Doctor.
30 cultists: Attack Plague Doctor.

[4] You pour the debilitating smog onto Plague doctor's form. He stiffens up and loses his next turn. (PD paralyzed)
[6] They strike with righteous fury and rend his gelatinous body asunder. Naturally, they all choke on the goo and die, but he's definitively dead, though he survives long enough to take one last action, or he would if he wasn't paralyzed (Plague Doctor is dead, -30 cultists).

Lucifer: slay the final beast of horror!
[6] He gets a little too rowdy and nearly kills himself in the effort, but it is not in vain especially given his overwhelming strength (Lucifer mortally wounded, Mad Matron is dead).
L. cultists: heal Lucifer
[1] Whoops, which part was supposed to go on the inside again? (Lucifer is dead)

Giant Paul: get Jeff to join you
[3] A bit of a lackluster victory, he say's he'll be Paul's friend, but not help. He's also on death's door himself. (Paul and Jeff are friends)
P. cultists: learn a ritual
[2] Nothing, apparently humans and their "magic" are just illusions and hype. How disappointing.

I've seen this happen before... It will not happen to me! I am deafeated, but not yet dead.
Me: Hide in a random swamp and spread a toxic gas to kill any and all mortals that come too near my hiding spot! Imagine I use the whole "Whisper into minds of mortals" innate ability to communicate to my cultists.
50 Cultists: wear random disguises and ask for help again! Poison the water supply when you're done. Like I told you to last time.
Armed Cultists: Assassinate the Mad Matron! from a distance of course.
Jeff: Die already!

[irrelevant] You have a lot of difficulty getting your own dead body to do what you want. Must be lag.
cultists:
[3] They don't get stopped by coughing. [5] They manage to get disguises and get treated for their black lung, even some of the ones who hate medicine. Then they poison the water supply, which kills them outright with their weakened immune systems. In hindsight, perhaps it wasn't wise to trust people dumb enough to fall for these disguises with treating a life-threatening disease, but you can't argue with the results. (Inquisitors are dead, 25 cultists cured of black lung, 25 antimedicine cultists cured of black lung)
[6] Theses guys don't get stopped by coughing either. [2] But then fuck up the assassination, because they are too distracted watching that huge winged guy in silver armor chopping her to pieces.

Jeff:[4] He gets to do a thing
Recruit cultists:
[4] He manages to convince some people to follow his stylish cowboy hat to victory. Of course, they are about to be very disappointed (+100 cultists)

Jeff dies of lung disease

((I'll change my actions.))

68 Cultists: Acquire 100 Assault Rifles and Corresponding Ammunition.
50 Cultists: Recruit More Cultists.
25 Cultists: Try to Spread Carl Yelvin Propaganda to improve public opinion of the Cult.
75: Attack The Inquisitors.
20 Cultists: Build Defenses for the Warehouse Base and Attack anybody or anything that attempts to harm The Wizards.
8 Steel Golems and 30 Cultists: Guard The Unconscious Wizards.

Wep: [2] Sorry, Assault Rifles-R-Us was closed today.
Rec: [4] They find more people to join their magic club. Your recent death does little to hamper their efforts. (+50 cultists)
PR: [4] They spread the word about this amazing cult club where people can cast real magic. They talk about you, but say you are unable to make any public appearances. There are only a couple of them, so word only travels so far (Good local public relations)
Attack: [5] They slaughter the inquisitors to the last, and get away scot free (-50 inquisitors)
Build: [1] No! Stop! The nails are supposed go in the building, not in you! (-20 cultists)
Guard: [2] The wizards have some slight PTSD and keep running away from the steel golems. Dammit, they're trying to protect you!
