(Expected remaining Tick duration: 24-48 hours assuming working connection and lack of travel)
Isgon has created nearly 11000 new Jeskia. (Isgon: -2E)
Tenat computes responses to prayers:
#1: "Aww... I was hoping for a cheap magical way to do it."
#2: Sandstorms appear to occur once every few days over a period of a few weeks each year, and most do not seem to deter or damage fleshy carbos much.
Tenat has investigated "ruby." It appears to be a closely guarded mineral formulation infused with some sort of mind-manipulating magic. It seems to induce a state of mild euphoria with amusing hallucinations and later infestation with imaginary tiger's eye cats.
(14) Tenat has also attempted to turn Flux into Ichor. It manages only to turn Some Flux into Less Flux. (Tenat/Yena: -3F)
Sylvan's Arboreal Administrators seem to be healthy. They report that the forests are growing quite nicely, although the Administrator on Boreas reports that conventional forests are limited to the temperate equatorial zone.
The Don has sent a band of loyal minions to change written laws to ban common activities and changing the law. Already five random townspeople have been arrested for breathing, reading the laws, and walking.
The Don has also created Cofe, a Crystallum-focused coffee-type plant and made sure that all the Crystallum would ban its use. Finally, the Don has begun attempting to absorb lonely criminals into large organizations.
Tenat has shattered the Cofe plants and warned the Don to cease and hopefully not resist. The Don responds by planting more Cofe and scoping the largest Crystallum settlements. Tenat continues to oppose the Don's creation of Cofe. The Vault has begun a policy of not letting unauthorized visitors modify law records stored inside (of which there are quite a few). Isgon has assisted Tenat in eliminating the Cofe. Tenat has attempted to freeze the Don using magic, but it seems not to have any effect beyond making the fight look more interesting. Si has attempted to negate the Don, but the serenading ends up being only mildly embarrassing for everyone involved. Neither party has used any Flux yet.
Mórkö and Zenurion have begun eating salty, often crunchy snacks in response to the fight.
Si reacts to some prayers:
Flower-guy: "Ach, alright, but please make them look good again."
Si has created the Wand of Sis K'ruppt. 2 [Lifespan+1 <1.2>] [Single-gender race? <0.6>] [Affinity+1 (San K'ruppt) <1.4>] [Affinity+1 (Element K'ruppt) <1.4>] [^Unworshipful <2>] =
Avg. 5.6E (Si: -4E, Si: -2I)
Si has additionally infused the Wand with 1 Ichor capacity, taking care not to spill her blood on the ground. (Si: -2/2I)
Admirer: "Such a wonderful gift!"
Zenurion fulfills some prayers:
Godslayer wannabe: "What an awful coat! The arms are too long! You call yourself a god?" The ranting continues.
Hellboy: "W-will serve Zen-n-urion f-f-forever and a d-day."
Holy defender of true love: "Never mind about the princess! Shoo! Shoo!"
Eid has poked around and found that the prince and princess are really the children of influential High Elves.
Mistake Engineer: "Glad to be of
service!"
The moment Zenurion places the Engine near Eid, it starts spinning. Could squandering such a precious artifact have been a mistake itself?
Meow is investigating using the Engine as a heat source to nap on.
Mad Hatter; "I KNOW RIGHT! SQUID LEATHER IS THE WAY TO GO!" 100 random mortals find themselves wearing squid leather hats. In just a few months, this number has jumped up to several tens of thousands. Rumors have spread of fish-like babies being born regularly near coasts.
Arkford reflects on some prayers:
#1: "How unfortunate"
#2: "It may not be as good, but it's cheaper!"
Arkford has commissioned the construction of Guildhalls in major Efte settlements large enough to accomodate the Naedercynn and created 30 000 Efte, distributing them across Boreas and Eden.
(10) Bohenar has empowered five great mages, informed them of how the Mirrored planes work, and watched their progress. (Bohenar: -10F)
#1: A G1YPH-L1N35 mage: Has produced a vivid simulation of running around in a food-filled maze being chased around by colorful ghosts
#2: A Tree-Jitsu mage: Has forced trees to grow into a frame for a large woodsy personal palace surrounded by a corpsely copse.
#3: A Stellarumancy seer: Has foretold that the sign of the next age will be the Sssnake, sssignifying ſſſiessstasss and persssissstenccce.
#4: An Echoturgy mage: Has composed a tone so close to the concept of Life's template of food that conjures food out of nowhere
#5: A Necromancy necromancer: Has raised an entire cemetery to march in a macabre parade and remind viewers of their limited lives.
Zenurion has introduced Bloodwine and blood fermentation in general to the mortals, surprisingly drawing no resistance from the gods who previously opposed harmless addictive little beans except from the Don, who argues that wine and blood clash in taste excessively.
Veles has joined the Kitsoony traveling performers incognito to see what life is like for them. It appears that many contracts are (illegally!) not renewed or sufficient, and for most performers, life is hard, and performance provides an unstable income.
Sadiq has settled down, living in prosperous El-Jannah. He has accelerated the growth of gardens in the city immensely, created water features in and around the city, and invited a few Evertrees to live there, making sure to keep gardeners around for them.
Quelor has put a magic school up for sale for the cheaper price of 4E and tossed a mundane rock from Gaia into the black portion of the Chip. There is a temporal minor disturbance and the rock disappears.
Mörkö has spread around knowledge of concrete. Many mortals fear it is an alchemical recipe for summoning spooky spirits. The Don has already weaponized concrete, not helping with these fears. Sadiq has provided advice on using volcanic ash to make concrete, which causes a rumor mutation to the effect that ancient volcano spirits will be unleashed through concrete production. Zenurion adds that blood makes a nice additive which worsens the rumors further.
Zenurion has given the Lambdent their rules and some advice on how to start and how to coexist with Hell's existing residents and created Hellwood, wood for the underworld and told the Tormentors to maintain good relations with the Lambdent. He has had to decapitate 53 feisty Lambdent. He has also taught them 7 starting Pacts.
On Eid's advice, Lolohe has established the Curious Guard and set them to enforce a strict policy of "One and only one eye for an eye, one and only one tooth for a tooth." The feuding seems to have stopped, but there still seems to be some unrest. Lolohe says he was busy finishing only the most recent round of whack-a-corrupt-governor after an unacceptable drop in taxes.
Eid examines Kurze and any oddities possibly correlated to the Aligned trait. Kurze seems to be able to do 0-godly-energy actions such as eating, drinking, sleeping, walking, existing, and talking. Kurze seems to get along with friendly angels more than the average Human. Kurze can sprout wings and flap around with them. The angels don't seem to think of Kurze as particularly holy. He seems to have the usual Human traits plus Aligned.
Eid has investigated the quarantine. It seems to be a somewhat poorly cleaned network of hallways of cells with middle-aged Humans (and probably Thannel). Food is rationed carefully to balance satisfying the Thannel and not agitating the townsfolk with higher food taxes.
The mule's soul is a bit spicy. ((Durr, of course it consumes no energy! This is getting silly.))
Eid has appeared before the tea-obsessed Efte spoiling for a fight! Meow seems to purr at the warmth of the Mistake Engine. Zenurion watches to mock the loser and reminds the tea-obsessed Efte that he does not have a cauldron. The Efte flashes insults back politely, daring Eid to see if he can actually beat a true Efte and daring Zenurion to jump into a hot, smelly spring in a more vulnerable form if it would suit his plans for today.
((Pre-emptive answer: Efte are like newts with a close biology having to do with crystals and water.))
((Illness and beasts: Some things are better than 0E/F things...))
Eid has begun the investigation of the Expiration cult. A group of mortals of various species seem to be screaming around a vaguely humanoid sculpture with angled hair and fur. Blood (or maybe dyes?) is splattered everywhere, including on the sculpture. A Chip column is embedded in the ground nearby.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
"EEEEEeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeee!!!!"
"Strange folk, aren't they? They've been screaming at the sculpture for Jens knows how many days!"
Lolohe explains that in addition to the Humans who were found after a few months with mild head injuries and slightly bloodied rocks, the Kitsoony reported that some Kitsoony had also been found in similar states after a few months of being gone. They suspect Zenurion or Morthan may have been involved.
Zenurion has divided his peoples and given them names and more warnings to follow or die. [SOVEREIGN SOULS] corresponds to the pre-existing Tormentors and Damned souls, [CARRION CONFEDERATION] goes to the most populous, and [N'HRKUL NATION] consists of the most militarily powerful.
Isgon meditates on these prayers:
#1: "Our monasteries are noisy, crowded, and full of people!"
#2: "What is your message?"
Sylvan cultivates these prayers:
#1: "May Sylvan bless this sacred ground, where Llynallos established the Covenant of the Wood."
#2: "What is your favorite tree? Do you have a favorite tree?"
Quelor detects these prayers:
#1: "Can I borrow some tools from my future?"
#2: "What is the best way to make gold?"
Prominent this Tick is the constellation known as The Fulcrum, emphasizing engineering and mechanics.
