Turn 8: Impact, Fanatics, and Soulball
Get that soul!
Ochita and Cheeetar both attempt to snatch the twisted soul. Ochita [4] Cheeetar [3] Ochita succeeds in snatching it up.
Add my plants to my planet and then snach the soul and seal it within a large crystal.
Ochita adds his crystal plants to the crystal planet. [3] They're not arranged very nicely, but they're there and should start growing now. He further stuffs the soul into a crystal. [5] He imprisons it perfectly, ensuring it won't be going anywhere soon.
Crystal plants added to one region of crystal planet.Hozac stares, after arriving at Vraccas place, admiring the creation process.
Hozac listens intently to Vraccas' work. [3] He feels slightly inspired, but his next creation probably won't be that much better than it would otherwise.
Steal away all the swords on Karus. Preferably stealthily, but if not, the Karante does not quite care yet. Use the metal from those swords and the earlier gathered swords to add metal deposits to Karus.
The Karante attempts to snatch all of the swords on Karus. [4] It does so. Stealth [4] The elves have no idea where the swords in their hands just went, but they know some greater power is at work. Metal Deposits [5] The swords swirl about, artfully digging into the soil of Karus, some shifting to make other metals as well.
Swords removed from Karus. Metal veins added to Karus.Speed the soul's journey towards Hoz-Tar, aiming for the ocean.
Cheeetar is unable to recover the intriguing soul, and so plots instead. [2] He can't come up with anything good, however.
SHIELD THE ELVES ON HOZ-TAR!
Alex attempts to shield the plummeting elves. [2] It doesn't really work, so they're still in trouble.
And more Turnips, if I have time.
Alex belays his turnip plan to save the elves again. [3] He gives them a shield that will soften their fall, but they'll still be hurt.
Three litres of booze every day keep the doctor away.
- Gospel of Agamemnon, chapter 2:1 - proverbs
Agamemnon attempts to warp the strangled saplings. [2] It doesn't go well. Wetlands [6] They're still the same trees they were, but they now require and can tolerate quite a lot of water. Edible [3] The bark is tasty by dwarf standards. Brewable [2] No booze can be acquired from them, however. Seeds [6] The immature saplings spring to life with seeds, which Agamemnon gathers up and flings to the skies.
Karus [6] The seeds sent to Karus impact rather hard, but at least arrive promptly.
Hoz-Tar [6] The seeds sent to Hoz-Tar similarly find a rough but expedient landing.
Crystal Planet [3] The seeds will get to the crystal planet some day.
Shadow Planet [2] The seeds don't reach the shadow planet, possibly because it's hard to hit something you can't see.
Crystal Moon [6] It's pelted with seeds. The elves cry out in surprise and slight pain.
Ukulele Moon [4] The seeds sprinkle onto the ukulele moon as well.
Saplings rendered water dependent and resistant, bark rendered slightly more edible. Seeds scattered to most planets and moons.I create sentient insectoids that can survive on the shadow planet.
HmH attempts to create shadowy servitors. [6] He creates monstrous, massive, jet-black insects to serve him. Shadow [1] They tend to... vomit light every now and then. Huh. Evil [5] They're cunning and malicious, with sinister laughs to match.
Monstrous, sinister insects added to shadow planet. Occasionally vomit light.Elves and Aquatic Elves: You will always obey my Laws. That is the First Law.
You are not to fight each other. That is my Second Law.
My Third Law is that you will expand your numbers, as empty land and food permit.
OBEY!
Nirur appears before the fratricidal elves. [2] They attempt to ignore him and continue killing each other. First Law Elves [3] The normal elves look up and notice the peculiar form, deciding at the moment they should do what it says. First Law Aquatic [6] The aquatic elves promptly gain a fanatical look to their eyes and seem to wait eagerly for Nirur's next pronouncement.
Second Law Elves [2] The normal elves scoff at the notion that they're not supposed to wipe out the abominations. Second Law Aquatic [6] The aquatic elves swear off all violence against their kin, ever, for any reason.
Third Law Elves [2] The normal elves are similarly unimpressed with Nirur's attempts to manage their personal lives. Third Law Aquatics [4] The aquatic elves decide it is their duty to maintain "proper" numbers, and currently they have a quota to fill.
Karus elves dubiously interested in Nirur's commands. Aquatic elves fanatically loyal to Nirur's command and nonviolence against their kin, plus feel a duty to breed.Put some radishes on my ukulele.
Bob decides to put radishes on the ukulele. [6] On the ukulele? As in, encase the ukulele, right? Numbers [1] Oh, radish
es? Oh, that's... well. Size [4] A ukulele the size of a tiny moon now rests on the other moon.
Large island-sized radish added to ukulele moon.Attempt to make herbvores again, and get a smal group of the dwarves and bestialise them, they can keep sentience but they will reject civilisation, i will show myself to the dwarves and make my selection depending on reaction, those that will follow the true order will gain claws and a more powerfull phisique
Yei'astol tries to make a herd of herbivores. [2] She can't figure out how to make them not need meat, though. She instead decides to reveal herself to the dwarves. [4] Some are suitably impressed, and she selects those most willing to embrace her ideals. Warp Dwarves [3] It goes alright, but there's some side effects. Rejection [1] The transformation somehow causes them to embrace civilization as the utmost ideal to strive for. Claws [3] They gain noticeable claws, but they're far less massive and sharp than they could be. Muscles [3] They also grow stronger and faster, but not quite enough to be able to hunt on their own. The end result is rather bizarre: Physically superior, but not outright bestial, dwarves with a penchant for civilization.
Some dwarves rendered more bestial, and granted love of civilization.Vraccas seems to ignore you completely.
Vraccas continues his great craft. [6] He pounds the anvil furiously, making excellent progress but perhaps getting a bit ahead of himself. Almost done, don't get hasty now.
Entity ActionsLand gracefully?
The elves attempt to land gracefully. [3] They do alright, tumbling and getting somewhat roughed up, but Alex's shield helps. They're fairly injured due to the long distances, but they'll make it with no serious trouble.
Thrive!
The fish attempt to thrive. [6] They overpopulate themselves, which would be more of an issue if they weren't primarily eating each other anyway. Mutation [1] Somehow some of the fish mutate to be large, slow, and defenseless in response to the feeding frenzy. Huh?
Hunt!
The beast attempts to find something to eat. [4] It picks up the elf scent, and begins making its way towards it.
Kill!
Determined to ignore Nirur and dispatch the horrors, they elves attack. [3] They slap impotently at the aquatic elves' armored scales.
Flee!
Determined not to harm their brethren, the aquatic elves flee into the water. [1] They manage to mire themselves into the mud.
HAHAHAHAHA!
The beast breaks free from its prison, howling and attempting to find food. [6] It barrels headlong towards the elves, who see it coming from the cloud of turnip bits it churns up in its wake.
Shhhh!
The elves attempt to hide. [3] They don't give themselves away, aside from gasping at the giant turnip.
Ranch!
The worms attempt to care for their herd. [1] Oh, elves don't eat that way, that just strangles them. Hrm.
Hunt!
The beast attempts to find those damned elves. [2] Ugh, nothing but enormous turnip.
Elves? Or something?
The dwarves look around for something to kill. [1] Those are toes. YOUR toes. They try to get on track. [2] Nope.
Progress!
The improved dwarves spur their comrades to civilization. [5] Within moments they've got efficient squads combing the planet for materials to begin industry and progress. They find plenty of muck and blue rocks.
Thrive!
The growing clan of elves try to survive. [3] They're not feeling terribly good, but they're not dying.
So... jump?
The elves on the crystal moon try to figure out what to do. [3] They briefly consider starving to death on a luminous rock and plummeting to death on a blue rock. Neither seems very appealing.
STRIKE!
The beast ambushes the elves. Attack [3] vs [4] The elves scream and run out of the way. The beast is right behind them, however.
...swim?
The elves formerly orbiting Aphronze try to make it somewhere safe. [3] They make a little progress.
...happy landing?
The elves formerly orbiting Gamthra are now plummeting to Agamemnoid's surface. Landing [2] They hit solid rock. Don't Die [1] They burst like ripe tomatoes.
...swim?
The beast tries to aim itself someplace nice. [4] It succeeds, heading for [Agamemnoid] Agamemnoid. Progress [4] It arrives. Landing [3] It hits shallow water. Don't Die [4] The impact injures it, but it drags itself to shore and lays down to rest.
Thrive!
At last able to grow, the plants do their best. [1] They wither, either not suited to their new home or perhaps not properly placed.
Recover?
The last sickly elves try to make it through. [6] They leap up and prance about, laughing to themselves. That can't be healthy... Food [1] They begin stuffing their comrades' clothing in their mouths. Probably not okay.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
The twisted soul cries out in fury at Ochita. [6] It's ethereal wail is audible to all the gods.
Ohhhh?
The shadowy insects look for something sinister to do. [3] They begin mildly irritating each other.
Whew. Will update universe later; much like the entity actions, I'm going to split each celestial body into its own spoiler.
