REMINDER TO SELF: Check and update action instruction document

Jotun Oligarchy

The Jotun Oligarchy decides to stop deliberately avoiding actions that would grant Nagas FP. They will resume this behavior the very instant that Nagas makes anything worse for them again in the future.

The Jotun Oligarchy will now permit Amastay to instruct them to provide a larger than normal amount of prayer in a turn where Amastay feels that he needs more FP. The Giants will most likely oblige provided that essential survival needs do not need to take precedence.

Although Amastay is the primary god of the the Jotun Oligarchy, they are not currently attempting to suppress other gods and will tolerate projects in their land intended to bolster other god's strength provided that it is not detrimental to the Giants.

Food stockpile started at 34 food.
Consumed 30 food
1 food fed to snakes
Collected 48 food.
Food is currently 51
Food should be 51
Looks correct
I am assuming that the "Corrupted Jotun Worker" is the one that was previously dragged away, because the previous update post didn't mention any of my workers having the corrupted status.

[Prismatic]

"Ah, I was thinking of allowing them to fly by granting them knowledge of how to use the floating stone of the islands for this purpose, as that method would be more suited for their talents."

[This is actually what I had in mind as a long-term goal; aircraft using floating stone to generate lift.]

Aglejo

The Aglejo people are awed by the manifestations of godly power that appear on the island. To the words of Tellus they listen attentively, and research into a means of exploiting the Crucible begins almost immediately after. Meanwhile, the perpetually glowing liquid within it is found to be useful for birthing fire, and much time is saved that would have otherwise been spent kindling.

A majestic avian creature, no doubt sculpted from the aether in the image of Keerim himself, quickly finds itself to be a centre of attention after waddling into the settlement one evening. It is promptly bestowed the title "Secretary of Keerim", and workers begin to hold regular prayer meetings in its presence.

1 expert farmer and 2 workers farm at B6 using 3 crude tools.
2 workers research Metal Casting.
5 workers gather around the duck at B6 and pray to Keerim.

"Great Creator, King of the Skies, our request to you is a simple one. Our beloved island has only enough space for a single farm, and its fields cannot hope to sustain us should the population grow any larger. We therefore ask you to bless the earth with increased fertility, so that we may continue to thrive as a civilisation."

Note that, with the technologies available to you at game start, you can only perform actions in your starting tile, and in tiles adjacent to your starting tile.

GM, to reiterate my question, we can perform actions at J-2?

[andrea]

If I gift FP to a god, can that FP be used in the same turn?

if so Tellus donates 1 FP to Keerim because good things seem to come in multiples of 5 FP
Use your power wisely to help them grow.

Now, on other matters: Tellus sees the Aglejo gathering around his gift and appreciating it. He sees them trying to
understand and use it, and he likes that. But it is something entirely new, with which they have no experience. They could use some help...

Near the crucible, an heavy book falls down from the sky, its cover made of iron and its pages of glitterleaf foil. On the front, the name: "A practical guide to metals and where to find them, for dummies". While it seems to have a limited number of pages, anyone opening it with the intent of learning more about any kind of metalworking, from smelting to smithing, will always find useful information, aiding the research.

Tellus Creates the artifact "The metal handbook" in B6, granting a bonus to research related to metals, how to get them and how to work them to whoever holds it,

Disci zaps a Delta Dweller to have heightened senses. Also he creates the artifact book "Seafaring, Fishing and Mermaids. A Guide of the Oceans" at E8.

[Supernerd]

GM, to reiterate my question, we can perform actions at J-2?

If your home tile is one of the following tiles, then you can perform actions at J2: I1, I2, I3, J1, J2, J3, K1, K2, K3
If your home tile is any other tile, you will need research before you can get that far.

[TricMagic]

I am at K-1, so I can act at J-1, K-1, and K-2. Just want to make sure I can act at J-2 as well.

[Supernerd]

Diagonals count. If you are still unconvinced, just look at how I did a diagonal action last turn.

[TricMagic]

Well, that's a good thing then. Need to alternate so I don't starve. Though if I do, the Philosopher's Pure Thought will be the first to go.

I really hope it triggers this turn.

[King Zultan]

Well, that's a good thing then. Need to alternate so I don't starve. Though if I do, the Philosopher's Pure Thought will be the first to go.

I really hope it triggers this turn.

I'm making you a book on farming.

[TricMagic]

Yep, and we thank you for that, Blarg.

[DAPARROT]

Thanks Tellus, it's nice that we're cooperating to help the Aglejo, rather than competing for their favor.
Keerim gives the floating islands at B6 increased fertility.

Other Game Events:
The Keerim faction of the Zebras worship Keerim.  The Bird god gets 1 FP!
The Blarg faction of the Zebras worship Blarg!  The Swamp god gets 3 FP!  Then the Blarg Zebras craft some weapons.
The Shrine to Mabel generates 1 FP for Mabel.
The Shrine to Amastay generates 1 FP for Amastay.

Godly actions of note:
Mabel creates the Field of Nightglow Flowers at D3 for 5 FP.
Amastay moves the Avatar of Amastay into B3.  Amastay's Avatar destroys the One Eye Screaming, which dies with an ear-rending shriek that is heard throughout the world!  Then the avatar purges B3 of corruption, leaving a purified wasteland!  All twisted creeping vines everywhere wither and die.
Blarg does not have enough FP to make his proposed artifact book.  (A book that makes everyone who reads it into an expert farmer would cost quite a lot more than 5 FP.  A one-use book that makes someone into a farmer I will allow for 5 FP.)
Tellus gives 1 FP to Keerim.  Tellus does not have enough FP to make his proposed artifact book.  (A permanent book granting a research bonus will cost more than 5 FP.  The Birds of Paradise, for example, give a 0.1 bonus per worker and cost 10 FP.  I will allow a one-use book that gives around 5 tech levels in a tech for 5 FP, though.)
Disci creates the artifact book Seafaring, Fishing and Mermaids. A Guide of the Oceans at E8 for 5 FP.  (A lot of books this turn.  Since it's only 5 FP, and you didn't really describe what it does, I'll assume that it gives around 5 total tech levels in techs related to its topic, then disappears after being read.)
Keerim spends 5 FP to make the floating islands at B6 more fertile.
