Arena Mode result:

The Bear-Man Colossus Ursaxus and his rabid host of Bear-Men, driven into a frenzy by their destruction of the Verdant Magical Forest and by the whiff of snaky morsels to the south, moved southward towards the Xekarni homeland!  A party consisting of the legendary Naga spear warrior Goruk, 2 Naga spear warriors (1 with a venomous bite), and a moderatly snake-like spear warrior moved to intercept!  They were joined by Spudwolf!  They battled at the edge of a swamp and a devastated wasteland!

The Xekarni spear warriors held their ground against the horde of bear-men.  Their battle formation and the buff from the Swamp of Strength served them well.  Spudwolf distracted the colossus Ursaxus and Goruk scorched the fringes of the host with fire from his horse while the Xekarni withstood the charge of the disorganized rabid host.  It looked as if the battle was certain to be won; suddenly, the battle began to turn against the Xekarni when the host received the Blessing of Farsky, increasing the host's ferocity and determination!  They almost overwhelmed the Xekarni, and some of them became surrounded by bear-men, taking them out of formation.

It was then that the legendary Naga warrior Goruk gave his life to save the surrounded warriors by leaping from his horse into the fray and single-handedly taking out a score of bear-men, allowing the separated warriors to rejoin formation.  Goruk was overwhelmed by sheer numbers and fell.  The Xekarni were shaken and things were looking grim.

Then the battle turned once again when a miraculous rain made of snakes came down on the rabid host!  The snakes ignored the Xekarni but bit at the host, creating a chaotic mass of snakes and confused bear-men!  It was just the distraction the Xekarni needed to break the host.

Meanwhile, Spudwolf danced with the colossus, pricking it with his spear again and again.  When the host was broken, the remaining Xekarni were able to help with the colossus.  It was the warrior with the venomous bite who delivered the killing blow by driving his her spear though an eye of Ursaxus and into his brain.

In the end, the colossus was dead and the remaining bear-men scattered. The Xekarni were victorious, but Goruk lay dead, and 1 Naga warrior was injured.

Mabel bet 8 on the Xekarni and won 7 FP!
Blarg bet 3 on the Xekarni and won 2 FP!

Spudwolf solemnly helped to build a cairn for Goruk in I4.  Then he took his 6 food and 1 worker and returned to Darkwolf Forest.
The Naga spear warrior with the venomous bite has performed a heroic deed, is now legendary, and can be named!  Nagas gets 2 FP!
Disci was impressed by the Xekarni's discipline!  She gets 3 FP!
Blarg gets 2 FP for a battle that was partly in a swamp.

The violent intelligent seagulls attempt another raid on C4; but this time, they bring primitive bows and arrows!  Keerim gets 3 FP!

Godly actions of note:

Disci orders Tallamon to go to the hidden monastary to teach the monks.  Then, for 5 FP, Disci creates the artifact book Sunzi's Art of War and places it at I5.
Izzith spends 5FP at H5, causing a massive magical tree to rise from the ground destroying the Titangate and turning the tile into a Huge Magical Tree!

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

"For all the Zaps received, Cait Sith sure likes to complain alot, unsure about whether they want to be trained or not..."

Disci creates Sensei's Staff of Discipline and places it at J9. The Staff of Discipline looks like a well made mahagony staff for a sensei to hold. Students beaten by this stick become disciplined and more diligent.

Mabel
"Enough is enough."
Create the Stone of Grounding at D4. This large and heavy rock makes the entire tile it is located in a no-fly zone. Fliers that enter the tile it is in fall out of the sky.
make a tribe of pixies at F11 for I believe 10 or 15 FP? If I can't have both the pixies and the Stone of Grounding, prioritize the Stone of Grounding.

((I don't think heating something that is right above us to a ridiculous degree is very smart. Worst case scenario we become +metal statues+. This is a finely crafted metal statue. It is encrusted with sharkmist and HMRC. On the item is an image of HMRC and Pancaek. Pancaek is laughing. The HMRC is melting. The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

Mostly because we're still invested in finishing this monster of a tech.
We kinda have to hunt with 4 everyday, so we are very much still a bit primitive with only 5 actions to go around..

Neheb, disciplined seagull MMA & seagull JMA discuss/study discipline with/under Tallamon guidance

GM, my question about building in two places/moving settlement is a 'NO'?)

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

Nagas invests another 10 FP into One Eye Screaming. Then he attempts to unleash a swarm of magic-eating, crystal-eating, magic-crystal-eating copper snakes at D10 for what he figures is probably another 10FP.

He also whispers to his chosen Xekarni: "Excellent work. Shame about Goruk, though. Another god opposed me. It seems not all of us want to see you succeed. But that is a matter for me to deal with; for now, you should continue according to the plan."

Jotun Oligarchy

Just as the Jotun Oligarchy started to formulate a plan to deal with the Seagulls, it seemed that Mabel stepped in to assist them! The giants reacted to this more strongly than normal because of the many other gods who spent the majority of the FP generated by the Giants on other civilizations.

The Jotun Oligarchy decides not to even make it possible for the Seagulls to attack by working in the eastern part of their territory.

Upon realizing that the research for temples was actually completed already, the Jotun Oligarchy decide to begin work immediately. How much the temple was going to be used would be a subject of extremely intense debate that may require attempting to consult Amastay directly. Despite Amastay's perceived indifference towards the Jotun Oligarchy in spite of their construction projects, the temple would be too great an asset for the giants to simply ignore...
