Hag elf republic comes under Bob's direct control.KILL DARK ELF WITH EXTREME HELP FROM ELVES, NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TAKE THIS ACTION AWAY FROM ME.
Ochita attempts to recruit some elves. [1] He turns them to defense of the dark elf. Wrath [3] His divine fury manages to kill a pair of the dark elf's new bodyguards.
Seeing the dark elf's unneccisary cruelty, yea'astol sends a mesenger of her divine wrath
Yei'astol attempts to create a divine servant. [6] It's a large, shiny, armored, winged humanoid and has a wolf's head. Strength [2], Tracking [5], Persistence [2], Loyalty [3], Hardiness [1]. The messenger is rather weak for a deliverer of divine wrath, easily distracted, and shatters into divine light upon being successfully struck, reforming elsewhere. On the bright side, it's a disturbingly good tracker, able to sense the general location of nearly anything in the universe once it sets its mind to it. It's not overly loyal either, but at least mostly follows orders. Target [6] It immediately sets off to deal with the dark elf, arriving quickly. [1] vs [3], [5] vs [6]. It lashes out at its quarry, but is blocked by two elves. The elves counterattack, missing but causing the servant to dodge right into the ground, shattering. It begins reforming near Yei'astol's side, shrugging and figuring the matter is settled.
Divine servant created, in service to Yei'astol.I create Karus Vines: A fast-growing, inedible plant that thrives beneath the sea. Post-death, its unique crystalline structure hardens and can be used to form wonderful blades for edged weapons. It is somewhat like obsidian in that it's very sharp, yet not very durable. It tends to shatter on impact, devastating unarmored flesh.
Nirur attempts to create crystalline vines. [1] They end up as an interconnected network of vinelike crystals, with residual magic running throughout them. Somehow this results in a sentient being inhabiting the entirety of the depths beneath the ring lake. Depths [3], Hardness [5], Defense [5], Intelligence [5], Intentions [1]. The being thrives at a lower depth than the vines, but still likes being somewhat near the surface. It's incredibly hard to damage, but can flex its tubes to shatter them, spraying razor-sharp shards at incredible speeds with surprising accuracy. It's also incredibly intelligent, and would like to get the elves to annihilate the entire world for some reason.
Crystal vine entity created in ring lake on Karus.Try to make the one big space fish react to danger near instantly again
Cheeetar attempts to make the fish mutate in response to danger. [3] It can mutate in response to long-term threats, like constant electrical damage, but it's useless against anything sudden or that would do much harm over a short period.
Space fish now mutates to resist continued effects.I give spiders an irresistible urge to create.
HmH attempts to give the shadow spiders the urge to create things. [1] They gain the urge to utterly foil anyone else's attempts to make anything.
Shadow spiders granted urge to foil creation.Build a tall Hozzarium pillar close to the heart of Hozlings' kingdom. Grant it an ability: when something will endanger Hozlings, the pillar will start to ring, very loud. Enlighten Hozlings with knowledge about this device.
Hozac goes to sleep.
Hozac attempts to create a Hozzarium pillar in the Hozlings' kingdom. [5] It's massive, beautiful, and mostly invulnerable, extending both high into the sky and deep below ground. Danger [3] It rings when obvious danger approaches, but it's a bit slower and pickier than would be preferable. Enlightenment [1] They really don't understand what it does, and are likely to be distracted by it instead of focusing on the dangers at hand.
Hozzarium pillar created in Hozling kingdom. Rings loudly when blatant threats to the Hozlings get very near.The Hoz-lings survived wave 1. Wave 2 consists of RED HOT LAVA.
Alex attempts to flood the Hozlings with lava. [4] He succeeds in sending torrents of lava at them. Accuracy [2], Power [1]. The initial torrent completely misses the Hozling holes, and it lacks the force to really swirl around and make its way into them. Consequently, hardly any drips in there, and most Hozlings had completely abandoned the surface already.
Steal away the void magic from the dark elf.
The Karante attempts to steal the dark elf's void magic. [4] It succeeds in snatching it. Learn [2], Forget [5]. Though The Karante fails to properly master the void, it succeeds in robbing the dark elf of his power over it.
The Karante gains poor knowledge of void magic, dark elf loses ability to cast void magic.Auto-Pilot: Travel Station Defenses
Agamemnon attempts to teach the dwarves the importance of a defensive perimeter. [6] They begin zealously guarding the travel station, despite not even knowing it was there prior to being told about it. Walls [5] They also masterfully create thick, crenelated walls facing both sides of the transporter, despite having few tools.

Thrive!

Deeper!
Convinced that aboveground is not a friendly place, the Hozlings attempt to delve deeper. [6] They succeed in penetrating very, very deep depths, but they don't have much in the way of workshops or living quarters, just tunnels leading far, far below. Thrive [1] They huddle in fear in the dark.
