[Demonic Spoon]

Demonic Spoon, what are the cuttlefish people called, if anything? And, apart from their eternal dreams,  Thematically,  what makes them different from standard water-breathing Humans? How is their society structured, if they even have one? What is their worldview? I'm sorry to ask you so much, I just need to know for bookkeeping.

Just call them Cuttles I guess.

The bodies are just particularly bright cuttlefish like things. Longer lived and better suited for tool use I guess? For their dreaming selves, they have an built-in desire to achieve ultimate truth, but are otherwise blank slates. They live, love, die, much like any other mortals, become greedy, seek power, have compassion for their fellow beings etc.

Worldview, due to the mutable nature of dreams, they place value on things with stability, and view their actions as having little consequences, which may result people getting accidentally killed and so on.

[Ardent Debater]

Thank you, I have one more question. How often do they Reproduce? Considering their longevity, it would probably take more time than the average for a non-magical Species.

Anywhere Between Twelve to Twenty four months after they have eaten Enough Metal to Form the Body of their Young. in other words It takes between one and two months for them to Reproduce if they have enough Matter for it.

Again, thank you for answering.

Thank you for the fast response, the IC Update is imminent.

[Ardent Debater]

OK, the IC Update for Turn Two is up.

[Demonic Spoon]

What exactly do you mean when you say agriculture

[Nakéen]

Small note about Envaruk's monsters. They are assumed to be very intelligent. Or just intelligent if it's too much.

[Ardent Debater]

What exactly do you mean when you say agriculture

I mean small-scale, labor intensive farming, akin to the agricultural methods of the late stone age, or the early bronze age.

That only makes them that much scarier.

[Nakéen]

the spread of lush

I saw lust.

Mmh.

Neat

Mantids are carnivores. I'd expect them to become nomadic herders, not farmers

Micelus, could you explain what exactly Jod does please

[micelus]

Mutations. I should've made that clearer actually.

As for agriculture...well it could be argued that mantids are feeding livestock with the plants they harvest. Or getting drunk/high off their produce. But yeah, straight-up direct agriculture doesn't work for the mantids.

Good mutations or bad mutations?

Things is, due to the nature of the food/energy pyramid, they'd need to put ridiculous amounts of effort in to feed a small amount of livestock. There's a reason nomadic herding was so popular.

[micelus]

Any mutation. It depends on the type of jod. Some jod might even do both. The mutation might be good in one situation and bad in another. The jod might also just go crazy and give you cancer cells. I'm also well aware of how energy intensive that would be but if it happened as the GM says then they must've done something. I'd love it though if the only reason the mantids grow crops is for beer though.

[Demonic Spoon]

Any mutation. It depends on the type of job. Some job might even do both. The mutation might be good in one situation and bad in another. The job might also just go crazy and give you cancer cells.

So if I made a harpoon out of the right type of Jod, and stabbed it into the Herald, it'd turn into a blob of cancer? Neato.

EDIT: Ardent Debater, Crazyabe has indicated he'd be okay with his leviathan eating something other than thought, but seems not to have edited the creation post. I'd appreciate if turn resolution be delayed until either he does edit his post, or indicates he won't, because if he doesn't change it, I'll have to change my own actions.

EDIT2: Would it be fine if I made the Chain of Cuttle out of Cancer Jod?

[micelus]

There's a reason I used a Mighty Act to make aes .
