"Fascinating. I would very much enjoy seeing what's inside."


-Terraform+Divine: Create a vast temple of living, self-repairing obsidian southwest of the divine dwelling.

-Exploration: Walk the plains/grasslands around my tribe's home, searching for anything that would be of use to them (or me).

-Manipulation: Convince the seeress to use her talents to command, or at least advise, her people.

-Divine: Meld my red-brick afterlife into a solid onyx floor veined with gold, decorated with massive pillars of the same.


EDIT: Plans cancelled due to high DCs.

Risth breaks out into laughter. "No thank you good sir. I don't particularly trust you, and you wanting help opening it is just a bit too unlikely."

Risth smiles then and with a quick flick of his hands, a spectral deck of cards appears in his hand. He grins and say's "A game of cards anyone?"

When the forest exploded with energy Luc'Valanraga turned his head in shame, but the elves still took to the land and even better, they kept their faith in him. If they wouldn't give up on him or the land, then he wouldn't either. He lifted his hands again in an attempt to breathe life back into the land that he destroyed. If it was the last thing he ever did he would create an orderly life free from the grasp of chaos for all his followers.

Terraform Phase + Manipulation Phase - Revive the forest that you accidentally destroyed and create subservient fruit trees to feed the elves while life is returning to the forest.

Exploration Phase - Look for the a leader among the elves to lead the community.

Divine Phase 1 - Create a single leveled afterlife in the form of a vast forest known as the Great Woods. (I'll put this into multiple parts as well)

Divine Phase 2 - Create a seed. (Preparation for the Holy Tree)

((Bad rolls hurt. I lost 3 of my phases to the last turn, and now I'm trying again. Oh well.))

Divine Phase 2 - Create a great sapling to flood the area it's placed in with life. (Assuming this is possible)

Pulling something awesome out of your ass will have a DC of 19-22 on a d20. Luckily, as one of your domains is Plants you get +3 to the roll, so it is still within the realm of possibility. I wouldn't call your chances great however.

((Bad rolls hurt. I lost 3 of my phases to the last turn, and now I'm trying again. Oh well.))

It was a natural 1.

Changed it to be more realistic. By small area I mean within 20 feet, so like 2 trees out on all sides. It's enough to get my followers attention and maybe help make enough food to feed people until I can fix the natural 1.

The difficulty is in making a magical item out of next to nothing, not making a particularly powerful item out of next to nothing. What you did may reduce the DC by 1 or 2. The trick is to cooking up divinely awesome stuff is finding and using components other than the basic elements in the volcano and your own powers.

Exial sat on an edge of The Divine Dwelling that he had grown particularly fond of, overlooking the north, fiddling with the last couple of staves he created. Though disappointed in the many failures, he was sure he could find a use for several....thousand of them.
He was surprised by his vain attempt at raising one of the plateaus. His terraforming abilities seldom ever failed him in his old home. "This world is a powerful one indeed."

He gazed upon his followers to check their progress on reaching the plateau, the strange cacti found would certainly be useful. He looked at the scattered corpses of his tribe members, and then the group that had taken a liking to other deities, and glanced over at Empathica with a look of discontent, before focusing back on the mortal realm.
Seeing Kyazir's followers run around babbling, he could not help but chuckle, and a smile returned to his face. Spirits lifted, he began his next course of actions.

Terraform Phase: Create a sturdy, natural rock spiral stairway around the plateau, leading to the top.

Terraform Phase 2:Erect a large stone statue of myself in the center of the plateau. It will allow my followers to know they've reached the correct destination, and perhaps instill more faith in them.

Exploration Phase: In the form of another tribesman, speak with the leader of The Harbingers. I wish to know his name, and anything else of interest about him.

Manipulation Phase: If there are any, find a predatory animal in the surrounding desert, and have it guard the plateau against all but  my followers.

Divine Phase: Bring the souls of the fallen Harbingers to the piece of afterlife I hid.

In that case I'll just bless an existing tree rather than create a new tree. I'll change my post once again. If blessing an existing tree doesn't work for you I'll hope for an amazing roll in crafting a new tree.

The only tree in the Divine Dwelling at the moment is rooted to Dagmach's back. Blessing an existing one would be a Terraform action methinks.

How's my temple looking?

As in, intermediary steps or running around looking for stuff beforehand?

If you are being lead to the chest, I'll call it a free action.

Either finding/making supplies or taking intermediary steps helps. As for your temple it faces the same problem with high DC... I treat magical buildings as artifacts.

Hm, that's a problem then. Does stacking the same action over and over again ("I create more magical gold") give increasing bonuses to eventually attempting the action? What about actions with similar results or intent ("I create magical marble")?


EDIT: Also, does chaining effects provide any benefit? ("I create magical stone. I transmute the magical stone into magical marble. I transmute the magical marble into magical gold.")

Meanwhile, turn.




-Free: Accompany Azundan to the chest

-Terraform: Prepare the ground for a grand temple southwest of the Divine Dwelling

-Exploration: Venture into the volcano, seeking out inspiration for my temple amid the dancing lava and smoldering stone

-Manipulation: Convince the seeress to command, or at least advise, her people

-Divine: Meditate on the plans for a truly massive temple to my glory (and that of my concepts)

-Divine: Transform my red brick afterlife to solid onyx veined with gold, with numerous massive pillars of the same

Empathica winces as he tornadoes wipe out some of Harbringers. Oops. She decides to make it up to them-they're even praying to her now! Wow! And she didn't ask them to.

So much to do, so much to do...she's got a lot of places to go, and the egg is almost forgotten as she thinks of a new project. Why do all the good minerals have to be locked in the ground? Why can't some come from the sky, she thinks. Dwarves shouldn't get it all to themselves...

But first she was distracted by the charming Risth...again...

Risth smiles then and with a quick flick of his hands, a spectral deck of cards appears in his hand. He grins and say's "A game of cards anyone?"

Empathica then brightens up, cantering over in a rush of cold wind, causing Risth's spectral cards to fly out of hands. They fly back into the Gods hands a moment later, reshuffling themselves.

According to their mutual will, a divine green felt table, gambling chips and chairs appear.

Empathica shimmers-obtaining shapely Human legs in exchange of her horse body, and sits down with grace and pose.

"Deal me in, Risth. I like you, you know. No one wants to have any fun...it's all work, work with the rest of them.

As for the wager...let's say whoever loses gets to create the first part of Hell? It's a dreadful chore, I agree. I think we can all agree bad mortals need a bad afterlife. Or boring ones need a boring afterlife...

You or I can make the ring reserved for cowards. What do you say?"


Empathica smiles and folds her hands, feeling a bit excited-and causing a few random mortals who been praying to her at that time to burst into flames. Oops.

Actions

-Terraform Phase: Empathica draws some objects from space and earth, and makes natural light weight crystals out of the magic of the Air they can be used for weapons and armor. She drops these crystal desposits all over the world, only making sure a few land near her harpies. If succesful, she will name these "Skystones"
-Exploration Phase 1: Empathica flies among the Harbringers in her Divine Eagle form-again, looking for someone to challenge her. Instead of fighting, this time she reveals her true self-and instructs them in the proper belief of Empathica.
-Exploration Phase 2: Empathica travels among the Jellyman once again, looking for an notable ones like Risth is doing.
-Manipulation Phase: Empathica visits and heals the Harpy warrior who challenged her-and tells her that she is the new prophet of her word.
-Divine Phase: Engage in a Holy Card game with Risth, if he agrees.

If she loses the game, Empathica creates the Seventh ring of Hell, the most outer ring of this world-reserved for cowards and traitors. Ideally, it will be extremely boring. Like, DMV boring.

If she wins, she goes back to work on the Divine egg-drawing up some element the strongest winds and her own divine matter to create it.

I believe getting them to settle down requires a Manipulation action.
