Tick 21.0: With Blackjack and HookwormsLandria and Wstfgl share the recent Creativity Award, having voted for themselves! Congratulations! (Landria: +7E, Wstfgl: +7E) The Creativity Award has now been boosted to the lovely sum of
45E, very nearly the mean weekly worship income.
The Mana Cascader seems to be intended to perform all sorts of tricks with the mana released. Unfortunately, these tricks are neither predictable nor guaranteed to be safe. At the moment, a flood of molten chocolate has erupted out of thin air.
The Shimmerhands are not doing terribly much. They have been given plans for ocean-going ships. A bunch of Shimmerhands have begun riding on top of the downward rush train to meet up with Zwerge.
Landria encourages more development among the Landrians.
Landria openly proposes that Death be drained to 1E and have his Essence split among the remaining gods if/when Death goes inactive. One wonders whither Landria is proposing this. In any case, while Death opposes this, Zenrach, Gandtrael, and Xislo support this.
Gandtrael argues that correlation is causation when gods are involved and that the "debate" was intended to harm Gandtrael, following which a bunch of Gandtraelites unluckily died. Fortuna argues that this would be the perfect cover for opportunistic gods to harm Gandtrael's creations and that Fortuna alone could not have possibly killed off that many Gandtraelites.
Fortuna has named the Fhortan capital Chance an announced a grand tournament qualifier, the Fortuna's Hand Open Qualifiers, on T22! The best member of each race will then enter the Inaugural Fortuna's Hand Classic, featuring purely Luck-based games. The Fhortans have prepared Fortuna's Folly accordingly, attaching large quarters to it to accomodate the greatly increased number of guests. Zenrach has provided free transportation for a chaos caller and a chaos slaugherer. Gandtrael has accused Fortuna of rigging the tournament by sending in a Fhortan. Fortuna denies that Fhortans will be allowed to participate. Praven has opened up a massive instant town of booze and wares to take advantage of the gamblers.
Mani, supported by Sadiq, Landria, and Xislo, has convinced a random pink ape that the fate of the entire Mountain rests on him winning the tournament, offering free transportation. Sadiq sends epic visions backing this to the pink ape, fabricating memories about a council of gods and a Hero of Ages. Sadiq has ensured that the Hero of Ages should embark on a suitably epic journey of great wackiness on the way to the tournament instead of instant transportation as seems to have been intended. (Sadiq: -2E)
Fortuna confirms that Lucklings still exist.
Landria has prepared Shimmerhand illusionists who fervently argue against the existence of Luck to disprove the existence of Luck.
Landria has ordered the construction of a school of evolution magic in Terminae lands, perhaps extending a token invitation to the Arani evolver.
The Terminae have learned about optical microscopes and cells. Mass fermentation of starchy crops has begun. The Terminae have sent requests for a massive still, preferably magic-powered, to the Scorim.
Gandtrael has opened up Thought Cinemas for sharing and viewing visions. (Gandtrael: -1E) Visionites for collecting visions have also been created. (Gandtrael: -1E)
