[Evonix]

I thought he said that it was over in the last post.

[FallacyofUrist]

He said Game Two End. Which seems like an end to Game Two to me.

[Evonix]

Trogdor The Primal(Ardent Debater)
and
The Smiling One. Also known as The Peaceful One. Also known as Joyful. Also known as Rosabel.(Adragis029)
have not gone. Then we can finish the first turn of the 3rd game.

[carp]

Looks like the summoning ritual reached a bit farther than expected. No matter, atleast I am summoned. As for you, get out.

Me:Drag Paul into the inquisitor's base. Don't want him recruiting MY hard earned followers.

((his name's Jeff, Paul is the sapient pineapple from my other RTD, though we could bring Paul in if someone else botches the summoning or you perform the ritual again having already been summoned))

is this the origin of this rtd?

Turn Paul into an undying, indigestible pineapple-shaped eldritch horror.

[Aslandus]

Spoiler: TROG (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.

-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.)

Spoiler: Egyptian thing (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.

Spoiler: Rocky (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.)

Name: Rabe

        -Presence:0 (Is more slightly more effective when recruiting in person.)
        -Mindlock:1 (Knows how minds work, hers in particular.)
        -Power:0 (Has some slight psychic ability but to use it beyond communication will need subtlety.)

Spoiler: Smiley (click to show/hide)

Name: The Smiling One. Also known as The Peaceful One. Also known as Joyful. Also known as Rosabel.

Abilities: -Aura of Peace - The Smiling One exudes a feeling of wellbeing and happiness, causing people in the near vicinity of her physical form or people she designates on a whim to feel happy and carefree.
-Give Life - The Peaceful One emits a constant positive energy when in physical form which imbues nearby plants and animals with life. Dying plants become strong and new, and the sick are healed. This is completely passive and uncontrolled: everything is healed, even if it's trying to kill her.
-Healing Blood - The Peaceful One does not, of course, really have blood in the conventional sense. However, she sometimes causes a metallic, golden liquid to manifest itself which can cure all conventional and most unconventional ills. When applied to a dead body, it raises it from the dead. Her physical body's veins are filled with it, hence the name 'blood'.
-Innocence - The Smiling One can influence people without needing to resort to insidious whispers in the mind, as she displays almost sickening amounts of innocence, purity, hope, happiness, etc. It's hard for normal, non-crazed people to hate her.

Appearance: The Smiling One's appearance in the physical world is usually consistent: Always female, always young-looking, and always the bearer of a pair of terrible wounds reminiscent of a Glasgow smile. Her form in her home plane is also that of a young-looking human female, although lacking the injuries.
Homeworld: The Smiling One exists in an infinite, lush paradisical garden in one of the alternate planes of reality. Seeing this frail, dying world saddened her, and she resolves to enable it to exist in peaceful, carefree eternity, with no more senseless loss of life.

Name: A Thing Unseen
Abilities: -Invisible: You can't see it, your cultists can't see it, in fact if it weren't for its psychic presence and the fact that corpses you leave lying around keep disappearing, you wouldn't even know it was there.
-Toxic touch: physical contact will kill mortals without protective clothing.
-Gelatinous: can slip through tight spaces and take more punishment than usual due to its squishy but surprisingly durable flesh
-Digest: Can eat humans it catches to regain health. Can also rub toxin onto objects to corrode them.

Homeworld: Deep Space, it was just floating around when a piece of space equipment bonked it on the head and it came running straight to Earth (so it's been here awhile). It can tolerate these new guys showing up and messing around with its home, but it doesn't like when people directly meddle with the powers of the eldritch.

Looks like the summoning ritual reached a bit farther than expected. No matter, atleast I am summoned. As for you, get out.

Me:Drag Paul into the inquisitor's base. Don't want him recruiting MY hard earned followers.

((his name's Jeff, Paul is the sapient pineapple from my other RTD, though we could bring Paul in if someone else botches the summoning or you perform the ritual again having already been summoned))

is this the origin of this rtd?

Turn Paul into an undying, indigestible pineapple-shaped eldritch horror.

No, this RTD came first, I actually made that one because I wanted to try out more a more minimalist style than this one had. Of course, what Paul actually does is a reference to "Don't eat the pineapple" since he's supposed to be the same "creature", like growing huge and being incredibly passive. Whether Empiricist saw this thread and decided to pull them together is not within my knowledge.

Trogdor The Primal(Ardent Debater)
and
The Smiling One. Also known as The Peaceful One. Also known as Joyful. Also known as Rosabel.(Adragis029)
have not gone. Then we can finish the first turn of the 3rd game.

Well, for the last two games the first action is always to recruit, but if you guys would rather just mess around with each other and the planet I guess we'll start with that...

[carp]

just make sure you see the edit for what my first turn is and my character i changed it a few times along with my character and no i didn't change it after the game started.

[Evonix]

What if a result is more/less likely than the dice give credit for? I attack trog 1v1, vise versa or trog attacks 1 of 375 separate identical bases in hopes of it being the right one or ask a single newborn baby to build all those aforementioned bases or turn into a pineapple or......

(also 6's, they are acting more like 3's)

Well, it's still a d6 regardless of what the actual odds would be, but if the odds would be against them then even a successful roll might not give everything they want. As such, building 300 identical bases would be a waste of time, but if you have the manpower to build a second base then a partial success might show up as "they attack the wrong base" rather than "You break into the base and manage to get a punch on *insert horror name here* but they punch you back". (If you have higher physique then maybe you would rather have them attack you and get their faces bashed in, but if you're made of tissue paper not getting into the fight to begin with is probably best)

I don't know if I've properly upheld that the whole time, but that's how it's supposed to be, better preparation and skill allowing for more impressive feats.

However this cuts off strategic possibilities that are essential for squishy ol me, I mean it will be hard living with the fact that however well hidden, defended, and guarded my base is I'm still one roll from death... guess I will just need to get the first strike in (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-emptive_nuclear_strike). (6v3?)

Indeed, that's the general idea. Keep in mind, these are all psionic horrors from beyond the rift, they probably won't be fooled by little parlor tricks unless they're having an off day.

Also, if something is straight up impossible, usually because you don't have the stats/abilities for it or you're demanding too much from your cultists, then the action auto-fails.

just make sure you see the edit for what my first turn is and my character i changed it a few times along with my character and no i didn't change it after the game started.

PLEEEEAAASE

Don't worry, I went and found the changed version of your character sheet and posted it. As long as you're sure on your action before I start doing the rolls you're fine, but I wouldn't rely too much on being able to change your action once the game gets going if I were you.

[wipeout1024]

I also changed my character sheet, it's on page 18.

My first action in the 3rd game will be to whisper into the minds of mortals in California, which happens to be experiencing a large drought. Promise them rain if they serve me.

[5] They love the idea of not drying into husks, and send some peons to support you. (+100 cultists)

The world has changed. Barely anything of me and my siblings' mighty civilization remains upon the desert, and what's left is but crumbling rock and sandstone.

It is time to change it back.

Me: Recruit archeologists, museum-goers, and generally anyone interested in ancient Egypt!

[4] They want to hear all about your firsthand accounts of history, especially about how your siblings interacted. Seems they aren't all that good at things, but they are very interested in interacting with a living piece of history like you (+75 historian cultists).

Recruit barflies, and waitresses.

[1] Turns out a lot of them hate their jobs and they hate you for being an embodiment of it (+30 inquisitors).

Cultists: Train in the use of weaponry
Assassins: Assassinate the head of operations of the funny geek guy.

[what?] Wait, you're not a horror that exists in this fold of time! Chronosian guards! Escort this fool out of here!

My first action in the 3rd game will be to whisper into the minds of mortals in California, which happens to be experiencing a large drought. Promise them rain if they serve me.

Instead of what I said I will promise citizens of congo* fresh healthy carp for aeons if they join my cause as my first move.

*has the least food in the world.

((Put actions in bold in the future, please, it makes it much easier to keep gameplay separated from banter))
[4] Yeah! Not starving! Sounds like a good deal to them! Of course, their population isn't very high to begin with, sot hey can't offer much (+50 starving cultists).

(For third game, since we are apparently doing actions for that now.)
Koshu: recruit cultists. Especially those interested in space exploration, but no need to be picky at this point.

((Actions in bold please, in case you're ignoring other people's actions))
[4] You recruit a bunch of people, who apparently have no problem following a giant flying rock. (+75 cultists)
