Much more elegant and EVIL than my own solution.
+1Idea Two: Invade the priests mind, break him to our will. Have him order the people into increasingly depraved actions to “ward off the creature”. Culminate in a human sacrifice. We will pick off those who oppose the priest. If we fail to dominate the priest, we will break his mind.+1.

Break into the Temple one night, murder and mutilate the priest, before and leave his corpse upon the alter.No, no. Invade his dreams, and leave his psyche shattered, so he is babbling about "HE WHO COMES" before he slits his wrists in a blood sacrifice on the altar.

Ah, never-mind my vote, this is better.
Don't kill the priest.+1
Offer protection in dreams to a few susceptible, ask only that they put the animal blood mark on their door and follow further orders.
Then kill someone in the village without the mark.
Let the mark spread naturally.
Then contact them again and tell them to be truly safe they need to kill the priest and use his blood to put the same mark on the temple.
Better to make them kill the priest out of fear.

« on: January 31, 2019, 09:04:01 pm »I don’t think the village is quite ready for us to reveal ourselves just yet. But we can lay the groundwork.+1, seems wise.
Kill the Priest. If the priest were to disappear, it would discourage the village without scattering them to the winds in panic.
Offer protection in exchange for worship. Mentally contact those susceptible to us and tell them that if they worship us they will be safe, and to mark their door in animal blood.
Escalate attacks on unmarked houses, starting from the outskirts of the village. Stop people trying to escape.
Goal is to be in position to take over the town next turn.

The destruction of the Suns was pleasing to Zo'Vass, but it was insufficient to sate His thirst to Undo the wretched works of Mana. He bore witness to the planet at the base of Yggdrasil, swiftly found it wanting, and considered His deed for some time, though His decision was made before He ever laid Unseeing Eye on it. From His self came a mote of dust, sparse and insignificant, but knew that with a piece of Essence, it could come be so much more. Zo'Vass poured His power into the rock, until it became swollen in size, and wielding an unfathomably mighty burst of telekinetic force, brought it hurtling down onto the Aquarius.
Action 2: Zo'Vass summons a tremendous meteor, and sends it hurtling toward the planet with malevolent intent. [Titanic Intervention][1 Earth Marble + 4 Essence]

« on: January 30, 2019, 11:42:48 pm »I agree with KitRougard on this one, the castle might have some unforeseen power that we're not prepared for, plus we're not exactly at our highest strength.
Under cover of night, corrupt some of the village wells with a poison to make the villagers' minds weaker.
If we do decide to attack or convert them, I feel this could be a first step.
...Sigh.+1 to both.
I was hoping we could stay here for a while, you know? Use this as a seat of power from which to grow. But it looks like although it knows we are kin, it sees us unfit.
Say, out loud so that the castle's presence knows we acknowledge it, "Very well. I shall leave for now, but know that I shall return, as you have said, to claim what is mine.
We should probably gather up our cult and find a nearby cave/mine/hidey-hole to set up in, then. And take a moment with one of our cultists to see what kind of force made our Boneyes into their current form - Perhaps we can undo this, send a spy of corruption into the village.

« on: January 30, 2019, 05:02:37 pm »The blazing blade swings back at the bloody mass of the Undoer, fending the thing backward as the angry Titan boomed. "YOU dare defy ME, you malignant mass of filth and misery? You would have the entire world gone before it had a chance to exist at all! Begone with ye!" The shield surged forward, bashing at the creature, if it could even be called that."So long as Entropy Eternal shall one day reduce the tallest tower to rubble, I shall oppose you, and I shall oppose you a thousand years hence!"
The Downward Force recoils, screeching at the flaming blade, and if He had teeth to bare He would. As it is, the fog shrouding the Undoer prevents any more than a glancing blow, and He retaliates with a burst of crackling lightning wrought from the Flux storm, too weak to serve as anything but a diversion, but a distraction it is, for as He monologued, Zo'Vass's full attentions were in truth focused on the works of The Shining Revelation.
By the time the Shining Revelation showed up (late), Creation was in full swing. There were suns, and a world; if not perfect then at least ready to be shaped to its whims. Certainly not worth the fuss that seemed to be brewing over it. The titan would doubtless have not got involved if it hadn't been for that Spider.
Darkness, the absence of Light, has its place, certainly; without it Light means nothing. But eternal darkness, the corruption of a Sun seed? That was unacceptable.
Action 1 (Light): Prevent the Hollow Dreamer from consuming the suns; let their light flare up and drive back the darkness-loving Dreamer. (Titanic Intervention, 1N + 6EE)
If this results in combat (not 100% sure on the rules of this yet):Spoiler: Combat Plan (click to show/hide)
Purchase two random Marbles from the Divinities (-20EE)
Beneath the lid, He Who Undoes gazes upon the suns, and finds their presence loathsome. The Spider intervenes, eager to devour their taint and He is most pleased, but another emerges, wielding radiant Light, brazenly baring Revelation most profound, and ushering in the Essence of Nature, attempts to deprive She Who Weaves from her ill-earned feast. Enraged by the most disgusting of atrocities, the earnest endeavor to preserve what Should Not Be, Zo'Vass unleashes His unbridled power. Not one, but two motes of purest Flame, perhaps the hottest ever made dart out into both of the dual Suns, each infused with a Minor God's ransom of Essence and enough Flux to shatter the greatest of defensive mortal wards that were to one day come. Those gathered stare, some in horror, others fury, some apathy, and a handful in glee, as the Fire forces the Suns to expend a thousand eons of light in a single moment, hopefully leaving them decrepit husks. The sight is a bit much, and it's perhaps a good thing mortals with functioning eyes were yet to exist.
Action 1 (Destruction): Zo'Vass attempts to burn-out the Suns in a single instant, and if attacked, fights defensively. (Titanic Intervention, 2F + 9 EE)

« on: January 30, 2019, 01:13:16 pm »The Defender charged forth, the golden form throwing itself at the spider as it set itself upon first Mana, then all of reality. A great shield seemingly forged of pure water coalesces over one arm, then crashes into the Hollow Dreamer. A sword of flame appears in his other hand as he turns to face the unholy being known as Zo'Vass.
Defender spends 5EE+1W+1F to counter the attack on Mana (but does not attempt to kill the Dreamer or Zo'Vass.)
"Enough, ye foolish Titans! This injustice shall not stand! Mana already pays the price for their mistakes. Shining Revelation, these beings run counter to your very principles! Forbidden Observer, and the others of the contract: you stand to lose much should Mana, or this world, fall! Assist me and we will all be the greater for it!"Spoiler: Combat plan pending (click to show/hide)
Much of the tsunami of visceral gore washing over Mana is turned aside, and the Sealed Eye hisses at The Defender's rebuke. Far from dispersed, the tidal wave of intestinal gore thrashes and turns, renewing its assault.
"Stumbling, shackled Slave to the soon-to-fade Light, you DARE defy me!?! Fool, you do not understand, this Creation is FLAWED, and it must be UNDONE. If you are so eager to see the misbegotten miser who so greedily indulged himself at the expense of the whole spared His well-deserved fate, you shall be SORELY disappointed!"
Zo'Vass does not increase his Attack investment, but He doesn't reduce it either. Instead, He continues the onslaught, heedless of The Defender's valiant defense.

For now we should leave the sword to soak up ambient evil, and then go investigate the other fragments.

No need to destroy the suns? I've got that handled hopefully!Hopefully.
Quote from: Demonic Spoon
Could someone perhaps then just remove the world's sun regeneration powers? Alternatively, I now have a cool breath attack where I spit suns at people! It even recharges every thousand years!That sounds like a pretty good compromise, and a metric shit-ton of Essence.

« on: January 30, 2019, 06:27:16 am »I would generally find the world portion of the Aquarius non-offensive, if it were not for the fact that it apparently might try to regenerate the suns. As such I want to nip that in the bud, which is why I was hoping you'd take care of that. Hopefully next turn is still in time to prevent sudden heartsunburn though.Neither do I, it's pretty nifty and there's a lot of potential for planes nested in the branches of Yggdrasil, but from an IC standpoint I'm obligated to hate it. As for the suns, I would try to destroy them, but I figure they'd be replaced in short order, and it might be more fun to corrupt them instead. All depends on whether or not your consumption's successful, but, then again, destroying them would give plenty of room for Maximum Spin to come up with a volcanic vent system, or TopHat to do something a little more esoteric. I don't know, doubling up on the destruction feels like salting the wound a bit.
A Pantheon sounds swell! Totally up for that.
Great! !Not!Lolth and an Entropic Eyeball feel like prime cult fodder.

If the attempt is successful,<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3"So it shall be. This creation is sickening, and the sooner its Maker is Undone, the swifter an ecstatic End shall come.

The Spider spoke, and never one to refuse to answer, Zo'Vass replied with measured haste.
"It is repugnant, repulsive, and rancid in its wretched presence. So long as you are willing to contribute a sufficient quantity of your soul to its destruction, I shall be most satisfied to assist, though I am content to serve as no orbiting satellite, and fear the remainder of our peers will see our efforts to Undo what never should've been are wrought in vain."
