Cool, anyway lemon, its your turn.

[adwarf]

hey elitetaco is it ok if I make a race of trolls in the mountains where your dwarves live ( I still need to add orcs, goblins, the great library, librarians, and several other things )

[lemon10]

I roll a 5+2=7
I use 4 points to advance the city of last haven, it becomes a center of healing, using both magic and scientific knowledge to increase their ability to heal people.
Thats it for my turn folks.

[elitetaco3519]

Allright I rolled a 10 +4=14
I use 5 to advance the dwarfs to legendary miners
I use 5 to advance them to legendary smithers.
I now have 4

[squeakyReaper]

8 + 3 = 11 points.  I advance the Quarrus (5) to increase their skill with smithing.  They're on par with Dwarves, but rely less on magical abilities.  I create an order within the Humans (6) named the Magistry, who seek to study magic down to a science.  No map update needed.  Adwarf's turn.

[adwarf]

I rolled a 4 + 6 = 10

I advance the gnomes and give them advanced metalworking
I advance the gnomes and give them GNOME COPTERS their dream achieved.

Ok I am out of points so your go furtuka

[squeakyReaper]

Ehhhh...  The whole flying machine thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.  This is a high magic world, and I'm okay with magic but...  Seems completely out of place.

[lemon10]

Meh, as long as they are steampunk or mechanical or somesuch its fine. But i think that they have advanced far enough.
7+4+3=14
(14-8=6)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

EVENT: Above the world, two vast orbs circle each other, descending across the sky in a double helix, as they descend vast waves of energy emanate from them, clashing garishly. The Green Orb shoots pulses of green, while the Black Orb has a steadily creeping aura, that advances in between the waves of green, and falls back slightly when hit. Everything living on the world can sense their battle, so titanic are the raw energies involved. The Avatars are smart enough to stay out of it, since one of these Orbs would be able to squash them like a bug if it so chose.
The green orb is losing, its waves pushed back before the relentless black tide, and it becomes clear that unless something is done it will be destroyed. The orbs pass above the otataral waste, and something old within the rusty plain awakens, a wave of antimagic and the forces in conflict fragment, a vast wave of antimagic travels upward from the plain. Shattering the magic the Orbs are loosing at each other, flinging the orbs far apart, one lands far northwest, the other lands slightly southeast.

As the black orb lands, it drains the life from the surroundings, killing everything within a large radius (hex it is in), and nothing but grass survives in area outside of that zone (hex's around the hex it is in).
This could only be THE ORB OF DEATH (basically, it drains the life of anything nearby, more as you get closer, touching it is instant death)

As the green orb lands, it gives life to the surrounding area, and soon trees grow from nothing, one in particular  grows right below it, pushing it up, and becoming a tree the likes of which the world has never seen (super tall and large), the animals of the earth appear out of nowhere, and soon the area is teeming with life. But something is strange with the life in the area, they are both stronger and strangely more vital, as if they can contain a infinite amount of life. The feeling appears to you that if you chopped the head off one, it would just grow back.
This could only be THE ORB OF LIFE (it gives excess life to anything in the area, more as you get closer, too much life energy will kill you, touching will explode you).

Soon zachina drops two dragonlings off near them, and cautious of the orbs flys far away.
The one near the Orb of life grows up within a few years, gaining powerful magic life magic.
The one near the Orb of death sickens and dies, becoming a undead revanent of frightening power, with the ability to drain life and animate the dead.

Soon, Ekona (6-1=5) Drops by the orb of death, intent on harnessing its power to his own nefarious purposes, but its magic is too great, and even he is unable to touch it or bind it to his will.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After that Ekona creates a pain-golem (5-1=4, i was thinking about having it as a event, but its just a single random monster, its not a avatar to me either, nor is it a whole species, so it wouldn't be a create race).
The pain-golem feeds on the pain of others, and uses it both as a weapon and sustenance. It is able to channel its powers into a weapon, and any that gets struck by it will write in unspeakable pain. The more it tortures, the more powerful it gets. Although it can be struck down fairly easily by a group, attacking it on your own is a sure way to die. After torturing something for a while, it is able to plant a "seed" in them, then, next time the pain golem dies, they will die, rotting, and their bones will be animated by the pain golem, starting the cycle again. The pain golem appears to be a regular animated skeleton, surrounded by a red aura
Basically, the pain golem is pretty dangerous, but as its just a skeleton with crazy powers, fairly weak. A few people fighting it will probably die badly, but 10 or more people will probably be able to take it down without too much trouble.

EDIT: need to edit the map to put in where the orbs fell, will do that momentarily.


The orb of death is to the north of acid city, the orb of life is southeast of tonai.

[squeakyReaper]

Epic.  Hey, you don't mind Falak being an elder dragon, right?  Not as strong as Zachina, as she is the mother of all dragons, but ridiculously powerful in his own right.  I believe in Dragons being the strongest mofos around.  Also I await your map edit.

EDIT:  Also, it's Furtuka's go before the next century starts.  Elitetaco, it's actually the third century right now.

[lemon10]

Honestly, i sorta imagined that their would be two teirs of regular dragon, those with cool features where they live or near to them (eg. acid, lava, land of light/darkness, orbs of life/death, the hive, the jelly sea thing, otataral), and those who aren't able to draw on cool features (eg. regular mountain, forest, plains, lake).
Yeah, no problem with falak being able to curbstomp anything but a party of epic level heroes or similar.

[adwarf]

I wont advance the gnome sbut once more for an improved crossbow and then I move on to my next project the goblins and spiders

[squeakyReaper]

Zachina is the mother of dragons, and thus incredibly powerful.  She is also a direct avatar and handforged by the gods to be powerful, but is directly ordered not to kill things, just foster more dragons.

Elder Dragons are those who absorbed the land fully, are completely independent, and have their own kobolds.  These are vicious, territorial, and epic, meaning nothing short of epic fighters will kill them.  Falak is a black dragon, and has absorbed power from the acid to be able to spit torrents of magical acid.  They are not avatars, but for the creation of the world purpose (this thread) they cost the same.

Dragons (usually referred to just like that) haven't absorbed power, can't, or have founded in a place that isn't a mana source.  They're not notable enough to spend creating avatars, but they can terrorize small villages.

Dragonlings are your race.  They're not independent, live in Zachina's Forest, and are fairly helpless.

[adwarf]

Does it cost points to make the gnomes and elves allies forever ? or will I have to make a gnome avatar ?

[squeakyReaper]

The rules say that you have to have an order or avatar to command a race or city.  That being said, if it makes sense dramatically go for it.  I don't see Gnomes and Elves getting along very well though.  Gnomes slaughter trees and use things inefficiently.

[adwarf]

Actually gnome slive in the mountains where there are very little to no trees and because of that had to adapt and began using coal and other burnable objects beside wood to make their equipment and such then the copters are made of lighter metals with some wood. The elves in this understand that all creatures must destroy some trees to survive, and because of that they do not get to mad at small tree cutting, but they take a great disliking to large scale deforestation which may  cause war between several races and the elves.
