Iliseth continues her high level of activity, appearing to the Humans to explain her story. Afterwords, she teaches them rudimentary things. Agriculture begins, with the simple cultivation of many edible plants starting. The humans, finding that they have nothing to write on, decide to use the skills their God gave them to make some. They end up etching their words into pottery, often with an artist's drawing nearby. As for the story they are ordered to chronicle, they etch it into a mud-brick temple along with illustrations. She continues to give them orders on who they can worship, though none particularly want to worship any other God for the time being. The other races seem to now have a familiarity with at least the concepts introduced to humans.

[The Maag] begin making their own homes out of sandstone bricks, which may or may not involve their bodily fluids. Next, [Lithus] further clarifies the language used, helping them understand the runes they where still unfamiliar with.

Wait, introducing new technology is free? That seems unbalanced.

[Pencil_Art]

How about a species that maintains the history stone and knows of all the events that happen ever?

Izgamlo:2/3/4

Crux should be at ~5 (depending on whether I get a 1 or 2 essence discount on my ants. Probably a 1 essence discount). I seem to still not be getting any essence income from my worshipers.

Iliseth:2/10/10

Iliseth has used at least 5 power this turn.

So basically the Minds in Kapla?

[Stirk]

No, introducing "small" concepts is free. Thinks like brick buildings and agriculture are free. I am, for example, charging Pencil art for putting in metal smithing.

I will recheck these. I did forget to add in your discount, however.

Oh. I saw what happened. I wanted to confirm something with Andres before Iliseth spent the second thing of Power, and since he is gone I didn't get the conversation. Yours is off and I have no clue why besides me being doing this for way to many hours today  . I always mess up yours for some reason.

Welp, never write your actions till the GM pricechecks it.

Anyway, I'm going to try make things a bit less stressful for you Stirk. I'll try to compile the actions for each Tick and their costs if known starting now.

Spoiler: Tick 3 Actions (click to show/hide)

Iliseth:

• I encourage the Humans living near Dwarves to open trade routes with the them, offering food, pets, and pottery in exchange for metal tools and weapons.
• I observe the Dwarves and teach Humanity of mining and the two technologies that it leads to: masonry and metal-working.
• I go to my priests and give them knowledge of meditation, song, dance, and other ways to help the soul. They will teach these methods to those who visit their temples once a week. I also have them organise a festival once a year in my name to increase the happiness of Humanity. These efforts should help curtail the nightmares.Soul sense to see the results of those soul-strengthening methods.
• Soul sense on Teburshe. His lower levels of energy should make it easier to see if he has a soul. If I see nothing different from before, I use 3 Power to put on proverbial sunglasses and increase the detail of the scan.
• Soul sense in Humanity's cities. Any ghosts?

Mavnon:

• Go to Iliseth's largest temple and make the priest explain their faith to me.

Ra Ha Sahaka:

• Create 10k Writhes. Van-sized, spacedwelling, armored, tentacled entities with impressive intellect and voracious appetites for knowledge.

Aurosseu:

• goes down to the planet fragments and creates 10000 Dreamborn, 100 Walkers, and invents the Dreamcatchers, drawing from Crux where Essence isn't enough. Each creation should get at least some Essence, however.

Teburshe:

• Introduce more varieties of fauna and flora into the world, particularly megafauna and megaflora; naturally 20% larger than their normal counterparts, but with no upper limit on growth, and a physiology that shifts to support their size, besides being naturally more capable.
• 4P: Spend 3P on cycles of sun, storm, and soil-bearing winds as a boon to the Great Tree and it's Saplings' growth. Spend 1P on similar things for everyone else's races, unless their gods refuse the gift.
• Teach the Great Tree of the further intricacies of agriculture, how to grow crops large and strong, of irrigation and crop rotation and orchards. Especially orchards, and animal husbandry and domestication. Tell the Great Tree of what will be the Sapling's duty, to live with nature, and guide it to grow ever larger and greater, using it in turn to help themselves grow ever greater.

Izgamlo:

• I make the woman a offer. If she promises to serve and worship me, and work as my prophet I will protect her and teach her powerful magic.
  
  If she agrees, I spend three power to guard the woman from spiritual harm or destruction (since if she's physically harmed she can just respawn). In return, have her serve as my prophet, spreading my faith to the humans, and other races (not to the ants though). Maintain the dogma that I am the true creator of humanity. I also teach her portal magic. In the long life of an immortal, being able to get rid of unwanted memories is a blessing, and her bodies and their lifeforce are ultimately disposable. (am assuming humans can use magic?)
  
  If she doesn't agree, leave her to her fate, whatever that might be.[/i]
  

Uztot:

• Uztot encourages feelings of love and kinship among the mortal races.

Alicia:
Gai-gen:

• Once(if) the dwarves are created, appear to them and explain what engineering is to them.
• 2E: empower a male dwarf named Sankis with immortality as a gift from me. Make clear that it was I who did that to him.

Moi'aaty:
Lithus/Luthus:

• I also explain the Maag how to create crude tools out of the wood they have been harvesting and stones. I also greatly encourage them to find new ways to progress by creating new inventions and achieving a better understanding of the universe. And while I'm here, I look at any invention they might have created in my absence(and congratulate them for it, if there is any), and teach them how to start and maintain fires if they do not know how to do it yet.

Lauxal:
Lorash:
Nilva:

• Nilva pokes the new Nothing with the divine equivalent of a stick.
• Nilva spends time on the mortal plane bothering random mortals for no particular good reason. Being even more inane than Sheogorath and occasionally randomly saying things that Could be interpreted as significant, but are really just more utter nonsense.Also ribbons. Ribbons are mandatory.
• Nilva bothers three of the Writhes and gives them ribbons.

Liram:
Patronius:
Sevron:

Also Lorash has 78 Essence. Meep.[/list]

[Stirk]

Allright-from now on I will start the updates a few hours earlier, to avoid me making half-asleep updates like this  .

[Rolepgeek]

I hope this isn't an issue, but I forgot something small with Saplings; when they die of old age(rather than disease or war, though those have similar results), they permanently root and become basically a tree, and can grow as a tree normally would. Slightly faster, but it would only be noticeable on a very long timescale, mostly for marking the 'cemetary groves' of the Saplings (when they're about to die, they travel there, find a good place, and fall 'asleep'. Sleep is considered the 'little death' for other races, and this is the same; their bodies remain alive, but their minds die and their souls leave their bodies. Mostly. Yes, this does mean Sapling necromancy brings back giant walking trees, usually.

When they die for another reason, usually their mind dies first, and they may or may not survive as a tree. If it's disease, there's still that small chance their braindead body could fight it off somehow. If it's violence, if they're not too badly damaged, again, there's a chance the tree could recover. Otherwise...the tree is dead too.

$$$
Price check on domesticating megafauna?
Price check on plants that gain sustenance from heat and light with extreme efficiency?
Price check on underwater versions of Saplings and Great Trees(in this case, Great Reefs and Kelplings)?
Price check on a race of giants which are essentially Megafauna versions of other races(primarily Humans)?

Teburshe:2/4/4

Why is Teburshe's essence income 2? Is it from influence?

Lithus/Luthus:2/6/5

His crux should be 4 (spent 6 out of 5 essence and spent another 1 crux on a obelisk. Previous crux was 6. 6-2=4)

Why is his essence income 2? Influence again?

Patronius:7/10/9

I can't find what he spent it on so I'm guessing he's the cause of the nightmares.

[Rolepgeek]

Teburshe:2/4/4

Why is Teburshe's essence income 2? Is it from influence?

It most certainly is. Helps when the world Grew from a Seed you Planted. And basically everyone's trying to get their races to Grow faster. And the world is Growing into a mature state. And so on.

I can be smart when I'm being generous, too.

[Demonic Spoon]

Izgamlo:3/3/4

Crux is still wrong. So worshippers add another measly 1 essence income? Kind of dissapointing.

Same reason why Nilva made All the fauna~

I spent essence on the obelisk, not crux. If I did say crux then it was a mistake. I'll need to verify.

Edit: I didn't mentioned anything, so I expect that it defaults to essence.

[micelus]

Be nice if essence gain was marked per turn, but I understand if it gets too stressful.
