Name yourself - Aidel.(2) Aidel seeks a lonely prophet, one ar removed form his fellow sapients. He is attracted to one dark soul, who appears far from others of his kind. Unfortunately, that distance is purely in his heart. Upon contact, Aidel discovers that his new prophet is indeed right in the center of a largish village, during festival. He runs a food booth, albiet sourly.
Name one trait your potential prophet has - Secluded.
Name yourself - Gorgolath(1)Gorgolath locates the most broken mind on the planet. The poor fellow sits drooling in a shack on a small rock of an island a short distance from the mountainous coast and the only village for miles - a small fishing village. Gorgolath is unable to enter the broken man's mind. A most unsettling situation between god and prophet.
Potential Prophet Trait: Insanity
Name thyself! My name is Omin!(5) She smells fantastic. Omin has no smell receptors, but gleaning rom the minds of those around her, she does indeed attract positive attention due to her hygene and natural pleasant aroma. Perhaps it's her, perhaps it's the fresh bread she bakes for the large village she lives in. Maybe a mix of both.
Who is your prophet? I don't know, but to attract my attention, he must smell really good!
Name yourself - Everything(1)Charming, roguish, persuasive. these are three adjectives to describe Everything's new acquaintance. Unreliable, thieving, selfish are three more. This new prophet gets his own way, but it never lasts. Probably because everyone in this coastal village knows he would sell them all for a beer.
Name one trait your potential prophet has: Charisma
My name ---> Thugdoblat.(2)Sure, she likes to hurt other people. Petty gossip, character assassination, insults, simple acts of spite hurt a lot of people. Of course, they also make this little harpy rather unpopular in the frozen little community subsisting on mammoth meat and whale oil beneath the brittle Northern Lights.
Trait ---> EVIL.
Name yourself - Ryleus Aluin.(5)Skillful, crafty, sly, devious. This one has made quite a name for himself, and life is only looking up for her. She knows the movers and shakers in this village, almost a town. Her hands are on the political heartstrings of the community, and she bends them to her will, more often than not.
Name one trait your potential prophet has: Great cunning.
Name yourself -THE COMMUNIST GOD!!!!!!(Exclamation Marks not included in proper name)(3) Eh. He hates the Nobility, sure. But everyone has issues with their family, right? I mean, it'd be nice if he managed to upset the social order a bit, but just not ... not too much, you know? "Wait, what? You want me to NOT believe in you? Uh ... whatever."
Name one trait your potential prophet has: THE POWER OF IMMENSE CHARISMA TO INSPIRE THE WORKERS TO RISE AGAINST THE ARISTOCRACY I BELIEVE? BASICALLY ALL THE THINGS A PROPER COMMUNIST LEADER NEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Name yourself: Nah(1)It's rhythmic alright, if a bit erratic. It's undulatious, for a given value of undular. Twitchy, some would call it. The dance halls in the large village he lives in have been contemplating banning this guy for months. He brings in the gawkers though, and business is up, usually just enough to tip the balance in favor of keeping him around.
Prophet trait: Rhythmic Undulations
Name: Bob(4) "Hi I'm Bob."
Prophet: Named Bob.
Aidel.That would take more influence than you currently have. You can make signs and symbols, some small light effects, and some small sound effects. And can communicate with your prophet.

Ryleus Aluin.(6-1) She eyes you askance ... well, she eyes the air askance, as you have no corporeal form -but seems on board with your scheme. (2) Her storytelling leaves something to be desired, and her dinner guests are not amused. the topic quickly shifts to more interesting topics - lace, and debutantes and scandal and ...

He then drags the serviceable canoe over next to the canoe he uses to visit the mainland, and ties it of at the little dock. The Madness is ready to row.

Well, let my prophetess have a bit of a break to do whatever it is she does on these occasions. After she's done, though, remind her to return to a pleasantly aromatic state.
Farf, god of diseases(2) you try to encourage Fireboy, and at the same time command her to recruit the sick against the healthy. You see her eyes cross during your conversation, and she sits in the doctors office with a poultice for a while instead. (psychic overload ||...])

"IT'S FINE FIREBOY, YOU DID A GREAT JOB! NOW IS THE TIME TO GAIN MORE SUPPORTER, YOUR JOB AS A PROPHET BEGINS NOW! TRY TO MAKE SICK PEOPLE ANGRY AT HEALTHY PEOPLE. "WHY WOULD THEY BE ALLOWED TO LIVE JUST FINE WHILE WE HAVE TO SUFFER?" IS WHAT THEY MUST ASK THEMSELVES! TRY CONVERTING PEOPLE WITH INCURABLE DISEASES FIRST! WE NEED A LEPER ARMY! ALSO YOUR FIRST CONVERTED WILL BE CALLED PAPERCLIFF!"
What is Wrong, My Emperor(1) You receive an answer. it is unintelligible, unless you can read meaning into vomitus. you can't.
EverythingYou discover that these three drunks are old, poor sots, peasants who have outlived their usefulness and await death in their cups. On the bright side, the town is charitable toward them, leaving a spot for them to sleep near the fire pits in the great-hall, and allowing them to eat the scraps after communal meals, even occasionally directly giving the ends of bread loaves to them.

+1 Power Politics -1 Eye to Eye with the Divine

Now have my prophet keep her ears out for gossip and what's being talked about in the town while I myself listen for these snippets of information throughout the rest of the village.
Name: Vashna.(5) Vashna locates a prophet who likes to take the law into his own hands, meting out justice as he sees fit. Being the village head's son, no one dares complain. (+1 A Law of His Own, -1 The System Works)[22, 160]

Tell my two remaining followers to go home and sleep off their drink when they've drunk enough.
Find Potain in his lab to cure his lab(4) Since his "lab" is the Outdoors, it's more or less healthy. Something tells me you weren't loking for this: Potain (http://www.manitowoccranes.com/potain), so you don't find that. you do find a peppermint bush nearby. If he can drag himself to that, he could settle his stomach with a ew leaves.
Ryleus Aluin.(5) ... you draw the lime green message with a lime glow in the sky in bright orange for all to see. (2) nobody has a clue what it means. Chaos ensues as people argue over why they are wrong. Some attend church services repenting of their sins, some sell their businesses and take up pottery, a couple even leave town, viewing the recent signs as omens of great misfortune to come.The astroloers throw out their horoscope tables. farmers start planting oddly colored fruit.

Omin, God of Pleasant Scents(5) "Moderation is key!" becomes a doctrine in the cult of pleasantness. your prophetess returns to the bakery, cooing over new lie and baking the best bread. (3+1) Your disciples set out to educate the masses on washing their filthy hands before they eat and after they defacate. (4) Hygiene begins to rise in town. You gain two converts - the tavern keeper, who's floors are less covered in vomit every day, and the midwife. how about that? you have a male disciple now. Diversity +1. not an actual bonus. Diversity limited to natural gender and does not include race, religion(duh), color, language, species, handicap or other markers of diversity. Diversity is not for everyone. Ask your local oracle if diversity is right for you.

[334, 54]
Teach my prophetess of the undesirability of excess in pleasant scents - a pleasant thing is always good in moderation!
Have the disciples work on incentivizing conversion with the help of fresher bread and some free soap as well as the many, many benefits that cleanliness itself brings.

A potion, Thank you for listen to me
Farf, God of diseases(3)The welcome break counterbalances the, err, quite substantive presence of Fireboy's god in her mind. She neither gains, nor loses psychic stress this round. (3) She seems to have a mild infection. Nothing a little penicillin wouldn't cure. (2) You don't have any penicillin ???

YOU CAN TAKE A BREAK FROM YOUR HOLY MISSION, JUST DON'T TAKE TOO LONG, WE STILL HAVE MUCH TO DO! ALSO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T LOOSE THAT JOB, WE STILL NEED IT FOR A BUNCH OF STUFF!"
Determine if FIREBOY caught any new disease, reduce it's lethality if there is any. Help her relax otherwise.
Make small glowing words appear in front of my prophet's face saying Hello future prophet of Vashna, I am here to help you bring Justice to the world but first, where is the nearest city?(1)You paint the word "Justice" in bright orange with a neat maroon shadow on your prophet's forehead. He is completely oblivious to this turn of events. Likely, he will not remain so for long.
Omin, God of Pleasant Scents(2)Your prophetess is busy arranging flowers, baking bread, and cooing over her new niece. (6) Your followers, on the other hand, set to work, organizing supplies, pestering their husbands / brothers / fathers to pitch in, and in general being a big nuisance in town. they drive the tavern-keeper near batty with insistence on joining the bath-house to the tavern. (4) The work attracts attention, and the bath-house foundations are laid. Some its are dug in the locations o the various bathing pools, and a pile of supplies gathers behind the tavern.

Have my prophetess and disciples work on the creation of a public bathing space where all my wash off their filth and come out smelling nicely. This bathhouse ought to be popular with traveling merchants for sure. Maybe make it an addition to the tavern?
well. Prohpetess: tell me what her dreams are. Thug: acquire money.(2) "Well, I had this dream where a fish was eating my toes. it looked at me and yelled: You need to hang the laundry, or it will never get dry! ... is it a sign, master?" (6) Your thug goes off and establishes a small protection racket. You now have income! Your thug is now Skimming of The Top!
Ryleus Aluin.(5) Your prophetess agrees, the time is right! (4) She makes a long speech, and the crowd slowly settles in to listen. Many scoff and dismiss her claims as nonsense. But, at the appointed hour (tea time, that is) those interested meet in her drawing room. You now have one Prophetess, 2 noble followers, and 10 commoner followers! Ding!

THE COMMUNIST GOD (+1 influence). Prophet: Minor Noble (+1 Rabble Rouser, +1 Absolute Faith, -1 Organized Religion)(5)Your prophet eagerly gets to work, spreading the news. (1) In temple. On a holiday. His mother is so embarrassed. leaving the temple afterward, he is set upon by several burly men. A mob is forming.
AND SO THE COMMUNIST GOD COMMANDED HIS PROPHET TO SPREAD THE RELIGION TO OTHERS IN THE SETTLEMENT.
Master, Majesty please make potion for yourself(5)You command, he obeys. (5) gathering a few vials, a pot, and some water, he mixes a potion over an open fire, throwing in the ingredients you offered, and some dirt, a stick, and a rock, for some reason. He then drinks the potion, and straightens up noticeably, looking much healthier nad ready to go.
Farf, God of diseases.(1)You encourage your Prophetess to relax and work hard. Conflicted, she freaks out and runs away from the village. Oops.

((Glad to see you back, that game is great fun :)))
Edit: Oh hey, I didn't know about this emoticon^^^.
((Is there space for one more player?))sure. name your god and give one quality or aspect you want your prophet to have.
((Do I have the ability to talk directly to anyone other than my prophetess? Also, how much Influence do I have?))As a miracle you can appear/communicate with someone other than your prophet. you get your prophet communication free, but every action otherwise that affects the world in some way counts as a miracle. You could eaily enough communicate with your current followers, but that would essentially count for their turn. you could instead make one miracle communication elsewhere, but it risks confusion on the part o the recipient, as with the colors and lights you did so far.
determine local opinion of mysterious substance.I'll give you a couple for free, because they are general knowledge you should gather naturally. During the turn I'll check for the others.
determine local exports and imports.

determine the amount of people loacally who are polythiests. determine how common magic is in the local area. determine the most powerful magic users in the local area. determine the average level of education in the local area. determine the level of technology in the local area.

Well, fine. Go hire some other thug, dont want your friend to be alone.(5)Your prophetess gets a dark gleam in her eyes, seeing the money start to come in. She goes to hire another thug (6) and gets the last large, burly, mean looking fellow in the village. You now have two thugs skimming the take! Ding!
Vashna shall speak to his prophet "Damn Mystical lights 'R Us, cheap crap. Hello my prophet, you shall do great things, for I am your god, Vashna lord of justice, and comic books but the comic book thing is more of a hobby. You shall become a great hero against crime, but first you need to follow my 5 or more step plan.(5)you make a rousing speech. Your prophet is compelled to learn the mystical martial arts. (1) Failing to find a mentor, he begins to train on his own, trying to lift heavy boulders, outrun bulls, climb mighty oaks. Several broken bones and crushed kidneys later, he is in little condition to fight anything at all.
Step one: make your origin story. You have already done this so lets move on to the next step.
Step two: Learn how to free run, how to be a great detective, and at least three unarmed fighting styles one of which must be ether fallen czar style or doombunny style.
Step three:Come up with a secret identity, this shall be the name you take when you fight crime.
Step four:Get a intimidating costume based on your name.
Step five: Fight crime!"
((Do I have the ability to talk directly to anyone other than my prophetess? Also, how much Influence do I have?))(2) Your commoners are too revved up for the new faith and go around town starting arguments and painting fruit in your honor instead. (2) Aaaaaand your nobles refuse to set foot near a temple, preferring to search for methods of making lights in the sky, in your honor. (4) they discover the fine science of fireworks, and set about gathering ingredients, blowing up drawing rooms, reeking of suler and saltpeter, and in general having a rip-roaring good time.

Have the Commoners merely continue their daily life for the time being and send one of my Noble followers off to gather up all information regarding the village gods Bah and Olm with their connections within society.
determine local opinion of mysterious substance.local opinion of mystery substance seems quite high. The locals view the stuff with careful reverence. Finding ingredients proves challenging though. Maybe it's a closely guarded secret? As for polytheism, well, you can't' really gauge the religious faith of the people. You struggle to get into anyone's head - they are dark and murky places, filled with confusing images and sounds. (1) your prophet becomes quite still. His lips are quite blue. Looks very cold in that gutter.determine local exports and imports.locate nearby places where the ingredients could be easily gathered from the wild.

Name:Nyxta(1)Nyxta is attracted strongly to a soul who looks to be able to toy with the emotions of others with ease. it is not until they are bonded that Nyxta discovers that this person is simply too blunt and honest, and any emotional disturbances were the reult of ignorance, rather than control. Oops
