Well I meant to just absorb ambient so life and normal death so as to heal the plants but this is also useful.
"Be careful with the black sand. Not only is it pure concentrated death but it also might be useful in the fight and we don't want to waste any."
If asked for my help then give them a design and instruction for a clockwork catapult that would launch contained units of deathsand at flying enemies. If not just start making clockwork designs in the mud or something.
I think a clockwork dragon would be more effective than a catapult (unless it's a gatling catapult, in which case you should go with that.

"Hello, tribesmen!"
*Cimag smiles and looks at the tribesmen*
"I'm sorry for intruding on your ritual. Carry on."
Ask a tribesman who they are trying to summon. Advise the shamans on proper ritual conducting as I watch.

((Hooray, the game is back!  :D  It's been quite a while, so I was rather worried.))

Yes, the squids are doing well.  But they have also not been enlightened yet.  While I am not quite at the level of power for influencing their masses, perhaps I may get through to them through an important figure.
Locate the most important chief of the conquered tribes and expose him to thoughts of greed.  Show him how the dragon's collection of pearls, as well as mine, are beautiful and desirable, and how the squids too can live an existence of pure blissful joy through wealth and my power.

((Hopefully this works.  It can be quite a task to keep track of every ability granted at each level of godhood.))

Note that by corrupting the squid, an innocent and peaceful species, you will be declared as an enemy by Cimag (if he learns of this).

To gm: would Cimag know if a god was interfering with a being of great magical power, as the chief squid must be?

If it is a war you want, then a war you shall have.

At this point, I'm assuming that all of the PCs can talk telepathically with each other, due to being gods.

I know that Froggy's probably with me, and Hazard's character seems like a good god, but who else will join me on my crusade?

In all due respect it is the job of any god to collect followers, and that is exactly what Hoardum has been doing.  Certainly he is not averse to force, but Hoardum is far more related to business and treasuries than war.  I don't quite understand why you seem to be intently focused upon targeting my god in particular (I doubt Hoardum will do as much corrupting as Lysandra for example), but he has not made contact with another god yet and certainly hasn't interfered with any.  If you do take up a fight specifically with him however, he shall be prepared to meet it.

I have not seen anything yet that suggests the gods are telepathically aware of each other, or else I think I'd get more specific information about the divine presence my god senses at the center of the swamp.

The single-minded pursuit of material wealth with no concern for the expenses undoubtedly doesn't make my god very moral.  There is no chance of change in that area however, so I'm afraid I have nothing else to say.))

Daljinn spreads his fingers apologetically and starts lying.

"I am truly sorry, master, but the demon code is clear.  Without a sacrifice on your part, I cannot fuel the wish you seek to be granted.  But you still have mastery over me, and I give you my word that I shall you shall become an adult dragon - once you have made your sacrifice.

"Any sacrifice will do, so long as it is important to you.  Wealth is passée, but will do in a pinch.  Perhaps you would prefer to offer up your power to love?  The life of someone important to you?  If nothing else, I will happily take your soul.  After all, when you're a dragon what do you have to fear?

"But I'm afraid that without a sacrifice, I am simply unable to grant your wish."


If he provides a sacrifice, transform him into a twelve-storey... baby dragon.  Burst through the roof and start looking terrifying to the city (or surrounding countryside), in fact.  Heh heh heh.

Better idea.  If he provides a sacrifice, trap him in a magical slumber that will keep him asleep until he naturally grows to the size of an adult dragon.

If he decides to attack, step out of the circle, retrieve the book and lay some particularly cruel curses down upon him.

Well, my reasons for opposing you are as follows:
1. Your method of gaining power (making people not content with what they have) opposes mine (people being happy).
2. I like the squid people, because they seem like good, peaceful people, and they were once my main source of followers (GM confirmation necessary).
3. Froggy's character is a friend of my character (Froggy's confirmation necessary), and he'll (probably) be doomed without my help.

So, DemonicSpoon, is my character all-right? Am I in? I am very excited about this game and I'd really appreciate a swift response.

Adjusted my proposed wish granting.  Much more pleasantly ironic, and truer to the wording of the wish.
