the heck man? i asked him to go bring back survivors to stay, not kill them! explain in detail that he is supposed to nonviolently and nonthreateningly try to convince them to join the town so that there are more people capable of scavenging and tending to the farm plot.
go give the people he killed a proper burrial, and pray that he hasn’t become a well known psychopath...

the heck man? i asked him to go bring back survivors to stay, not kill them! explain in detail that he is supposed to nonviolently and nonthreateningly try to convince them to join the town so that there are more people capable of scavenging and tending to the farm plot.
go give the people he killed a proper burrial, and pray that he hasn’t become a well known psychopath...

Don't worry too much about the one mistake, Smoke Mirrors. Your character was memorable for all the demonology and story writing.

There's was a random psychopath wandering around the woods but he's dead now.
Hell has been renamed to Centron Corporation.

A large part of Canada is still on fire.
Its now raining again.
Its November 1, 3:30 P.m.
Outsider didn't post for the ninth time so random action.
TricMagic didn't post so random action.

Use magic so the fire doesn't damage the car or the people on it. (What? having a flaming car would be cool).
The spider army keeps cleaning the lake.

(Magicking the car = 3+1 For god powers) Using your god powers you make it to where the fire doesn't damage the car or the people inside.
(Spiders cleaning the lake = 6) The spiders continue their work, but when they start to bring in their latest hall the net gets caught and tears and everything they just caught floats back into the lake.

Have  half of the servants put on whatever costumes they like, while the other half scavenges for building materials.  Cast a spell summoning rain in my general area.
(Servants putting on costumes = 4) After a bit of wandering and changing they come back to you, you now have several little wizards, werewolves, witches, skeletons, and a sack of potatoes as servants.

Design a PSA against bullying.
(5) You spend several minutes writing and you end up with the perfect anti bullying PSA.

Divvy up my mass into a horde of humanoids, who will repair and inhabit the big city. My city now.
(Becoming a horde of humanoids = 6-1 For being able to do that) It takes a bit but you turn into sixty four, ten foot tall humanoids, then you start to rebuild the city.
(Eight bodies repairing the city = 1) They try to fix some stuff, but some rubble collapses on top of them and they get trapped.
(Eight bodies repairing the city = 2) They move some stuff around but get nothing accomplished.

Find some people for my band, namely a drummer and a bassist.
Call my band "Infected Wound".

(Stealing a guitar = 2+2 For not being that hard) You look around until you find a pawn shop which you break into and steal a guitar.
(Finding a drummer = 4) Then you look at all of the people fleeing and ask around for a bit and you eventually find someone that can play the drums.
(Finding a bassist = 2) But even with all the searching you can't find anyone that can play bass.

BEGIN FLEXING AND SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS WHILST POWERING UP
(6) You begin to scream and you scream so loud all the glass at the gas station explodes, then you begin to flex and you flex so much and so fast the the gas station explodes, and you continue to do these things gaining more and more power.

Have the wizard servants cast spells to  create more servants , the witch servants  craft more costumes,  and the sack of potatoes provide moral support. The werewolves  can start reinforcing the store, and hunting around the area for survivors to bring back.

Cast a spell mending the rubble in my area.
