Turn 16: Power Up!
Show Hozlings gemstones of the Hoz-Tar and teach them how to carve them into items or cut them into shiny jewels.
Hozac realizes there are no true gems, and attempts to create some. [2] He fails, and concludes his children will have to work with quartz and other simple crystals for now. Gemcutting [1] The Hozlings decide crystals are delicious and begin eating them. Crafting [6] They do at least figure out that they can be carved into potentially useful or decorative items, and a new form of decadence is discovered.
Hozlings learn to eat crystals, or occasionally carve them into items just for luxury's sake.Continue the merging of soul with body!
Vraccas continues hammering the soul into the body. [5] It fits perfectly, the two strengthening each other and the soul reducing some of the body's deficiencies. The resulting creature is broad and extremely solid and well-muscled, as well as having skin that looks almost like grey ore. It is extremely resistant to damage, incredibly strong compared to a mortal, and relatively nimble for a creature that almost looks like it's made of rock. Its eyes glow vibrantly gold from its own inner strength, and it knows nothing of despair. It possesses an inner greed, tempered by its inner strength and resolve into a desire to create beautiful and valuable things, but also a reluctance to give them up, even when not using them itself. It is intelligent but not particularly creative.
The First Dwarf created.Design a huge temple that takes up most of the space of the planet on top, then make chambers, 1 for each world and put a pool in each. I shall also teach my elves crystal-working, learning and building with civilisation
Ochita attempts to make a ridiculously large temple. [4] He succeeds, making a crystal temple that looks like it was frozen as it flowed, rather than being built. Pools [3] He creates small chambers with a pool in each, but they're rather dwarfed by the rest of the place.
Crystal temple created on Hemisphere World.Have the Warrior worms domesticate the Beast worms.
Bob attempts to convince the warrior worms to domesticate their wayward brethren. [4] They dutifully set to work. Domesticate [3] vs [6]. The beast worms maul the warriors a bit. Ow. Bad Worms [4] vs [1] The warriors take it in a stoic fashion before scolding them, managing to make the beast worms feel like they've been bad. They're not domesticated though.
That kelp will be tasty and delicious, in addition to being highly addictive.
Nirur attempts to make the kelp delicious. [6] It's not likely the elves will be eating anything else from now on. Addictive [5] It's also mildly heroinesque.
Kelp rendered absolutely delicious and physically addictive. Withdrawls are very unpleasant.(4/5)Almost there! Continue the Grand Design on Karus.
The Karante attempts to create herbivores. [1] The resulting abominations eat meat, but spend most of their time digging up and killing plant life for no particular reason.
Malformed plant-destroying carnivores added to Karus.Infuse the Shadow Gem with my spheres.
Cheeetar attempts to infuse the hidden shadow gem with his attributes. [4] He succeeds, empowering it. Growth [5] The gem takes especially well to the concept of growth. [5] It also takes especially well to the concept of knowledge. Change [6] It takes a bit too well to the concept of change, but then it was supposed to change on its own anyway, right?
Planted shadow gem heavily infused with spheres of knowledge, growth, and especially change.Apply immunity to weapons to all my creations
Yei'astol attempts to strengthen her creations' resistance to weapons. [2] She is unable to do so, however. Hide [5] She settles for making the white beasts' hides and furs thicker without hindering them in any way, increasing their resistance to damage in general.
White beasts rendered slightly more resistant to damage.[I wait and accumulate power.]
HmH attempts to gather power. [3] He focuses some.
I create... A NEW GALAXY!
Alex attempts to create a new galaxy. [5] He succeeds magnificently, creating a truly massive and beautiful spiral of stars. It's only a few times larger than most planets, and its made of blobs of light rather than actual systems, but it's still big and nice.
Galaxy thing created.This time, I create a hat
Agamemnon attempts to create a hat. [1] They're pants. Stylishness [2] Ugly pants. What is this, last year? Strange Mood [4] It successfully inspires a life-or-death creative project. Anti-Discretion [4] It also removes most silly notions of bad ideas and tells physics to go to hell. Test Dwarf [2] The initial results are disappointing- he wants to wear the pants, but gets this strange notion he's supposed to put them on his head, and so never gets around to putting them on. Holiday [4] Agamemnon grants it to the dwarves anyway, who agree to elect someone to put it on once a year. Common Sense [3] The dwarves realize the dangers inherent to such a device, and so think about it before putting it on to see what will happen.
Pants of Imagination created and gifted to dwarves. Dwarves now have annual holy day involving said pants. Not necessarily the only day they're worn, however.Entities:Delicious Kelp?

The dwarves attempt to thrive. [6] They go a bit nuts, and it's now a rather large tribe composed of several shallow pits for sleeping. FUN [3] They mess around with the flamethrower, suffering mild burns. Common Sense [2] Pants go on head. Idea [6] Cackling like a lunatic, the dwarf with the pants on his head proceeds to brutally murder a few fellows and dash around gathering up numerous other materials.
