((I have a -1 to rolls using my left hand? So, theoretically, I could fence left-handed at a -1 penalty? Okay, -2 because Wyrm is right-handed, but still.))

Wake up. Demand to know how I got these injuries.

"Er..." Selina doesn't look very... disswayed by Victoria's answer.

Dissuaded?

"Mostly, I guess that fluff cushioned me, it has a use after all."
((I was replying to semile))

...Do you mean Selina?

"The reason I am so tired was I spent last night giving someone extensive physical modifications, including alterations to their nervous system."

Which reminds me, can we figure out how that went? Pretty please?

How do you mean?

I mean, I hadn't gotten to that point and forgot to remove that comment when I did.

You know what's more annoying than thinking of a great response to something a couple minutes after posting? Not being able to add it for hours.

On that note...how did Fortuna (?) pick up Angel? I'm a pretty big guy, and my not-quite-four-year-old cousin is pretty hard to pick up. Add a year and change (to both sides--Angel's birthday wasn't two days before Orientation Day) to her and subtract some strength from me, and I'm not sure if I could pick her up. I certainly wouldn't want to.

Your family might want to feed your cousin a bit less, because I am not at all a big guy and I can pick up and carry around my 3 and 5 year old cousins fairly easily.
Hell, with a bit of effort I can lift both at once, leading to the HUG MONSTER, CAPABLE OF GIVING SEVERAL HUGS AT ONCE!

I blame miscommunication. I wasn't saying I couldn't pick her up, I'm saying it wasn't comfortable. I'd imagine it would be even less so for a girl* picking up an older child, and hence wonder why Angel had to be asked to be put down.
*Call me sexist, but women have lower upper body strength than men.

Rome wasn't built in a day, but Olympus was. Still your point is valid.

Yes, but...underdog?!?

And no cannibalistic power absorption?

Underdog[/color]

What?

In other news, I just got inspired to write Angel into the next Arena. I don't think I will, though.

Ninja'd. Oh well.

Ninja'd again, with...wow.

((OOC thread, which really should be linked in the OP.))

Was there alignment in 1st Edition?

Yes. I ignored it in this case, since i'd have to graph your actions then randomly hit you with level loss for "not roleplaying"

You see why everyone was chaotic neutral, yes?

Hm.

Sad that I can't ask Xantalos to be a little less Lawful and a little more Good, or something to that extent.

Tantiy feels the new beings run across Its surface. How lovely, thought It. Tantiy was glad that it would not be alone in making the world--others made it so interesting, so deep.

Then Tantiy felt the blood of human and Jotun run across its surface, marking the first wars. Examining the site of these battles and the surrounding lands, Tantiy discovers that the humans suddenly began killing those of other races. This was unacceptable, and could not be allowed. The humans that did it...their nations could not exist with the rest of the world. These individuals could not exist. Yet, Tantiy could not kill them either. Hence, It created a new world for them to live in.

But the problem must be solved, as well. Hence, Tantiy focused on a wart near the site of the first battle of this first war. It extruded a blue, glowing goo, which solidified into a cobalt rock glowing faintly enough to see in the dark, about the size of a troll. The rock was shattered, spreading its calming dust and stones across the world.

Tantiy felt something across the cosmos, and connected the feeling to one of unease so shortly before the blood of war ran across Its surface. Examining it, It found that a new god was there, creating life. While this was not bad, the fact that it felt so much like what seemed to cause the wars. So, Tantiy watched, and in the meantime blessed these elves.

Act?: Create the Gullet of Tantiy, a massive, faintly glowing cavern within Tantiy that is filled with fungoid organisms. This "fungus" can turn nearly any kind of nonliving organic matter into more of its kind, save for the Bloodspore Mold which grows from living organic matter. Also present are several species of arthropods similar to crustaceans who feed either on fungus or smaller arthropods, and some glowing songbirds that feed on the small arthropods. The Gullet may be freely moved within Tantiy by Itself without disturbing the environment within.
Act?: Create an entity among the Elves similar to the Oracle Spirit of the humans. It functions in essentially the same way, but also grants knowledge of Tantiy for free. Call it the Prophetic Spirit.
Act: Divide into three? Minor Acts.
Minor? Act: Open pits from the location of individuals who participated in or supported the war with the Jotun or the slaughter of Chaos Beasts and the like, as well as some of the maddest Drakes. These pits lead into the Gullet of Tantiy, and also take some pets, livestock, and perhaps wildlife which is near those brought in.
Minor Act: Create the Calming Stone, a rock which glows almost imperceptibly and creates a wide radius around it where feelings of hate and anger are reduced or nullified, stronger the closer you are to it. This property is retained by all pieces of the Calming Stone.
? ? ?: Shatter the Calming Stone and spread its pieces around the war-affected areas of Tantiy.

((Would an entity like the Oracle or Prophetic Spirits be an Act or a Minor Act? It's essentially a minor modification to a race, and is a lot less than a whole separate race.))
((Also, I wonder what would happen if trolls incorporated Calming Stone...))
