Respawn. Summon Godzilla.

[2] No Godzilla for you!

Become the god of confectioneries

[6] You become the God of Dessert, but you also become the Desert of Gods. Each other god wants a piece of the pie, naturally enough. Respawn?

Ragnarok: Burst out of Cheesecake like a confectionary-hating Kool-Aid man.

[1] You turn into Kool-Aid.

Respawn on the Serenity.

[2] You respawn in deep space. Respawn?

Eh. Want to go harass some mortals?

[6] "Sure. Hey, I heard that you had gone mortal..." Before you can explain that that was Ivalos and not you, or even come up with an explanation that doesn't reek of convenient-good-twin, [1v4] Nyarlothotep breaks its splorch on you.

Do cabin boy things. And be added to character list.

Sure.

Claim the new universe as my own. Call it InsanityIncarnate's Universe for future reference.

Create anti-universe explosives. Test them on the original universe.

[2v5] Cheesecake doesn't let you claim or rename him. Poor CheesecakeIncarnate. [3] You generate some bombs and [3] they blow up an outlying star cluster.

The new universe is me. I name it Cheesecake.

Avenge the eaten Cheesecake.

DO NOT PERMIT ANY OF THIS. InsanityIncarnate's Universe SHALL REMAIN MY UNIVERSE.

Luckily for CI, Cheesecake wasn't specific.

Gehen Sie zu einem Bewohnten Planeten im der Cheesecake Galaxie. Finde heraus, wer Dort lebt.

[5] You locate a planet of black-shelled three-finned jellyfish with many genders and psionic hypnosis. Their government is a declining meritocracy, and their culture is something like the Aztecs. Their technology is roughly equal to what Earth had towards the end of WWI.

(Hastur luk: 6+6)
Hastur's waiver becomes a hypnotist's watch arcing with lightning. The bolts from it are powerful enough to burn his hand slightly, but he can feel his flesh repairing itself instantly the moment it is burned. The watch seems to be ticking slower than normal, but Hastur can't tell whether this is because its made him faster or slowed down time around him, so he decides that it must be a bit of both.

"Well this is bound to be... interesting. From what I see... I have regeneration... shock... and enhanced time rate of some sort. I like it~"
Grin, heading off in search of something to test just what this thing can do on. Then use the watch as a flail to smack it in the face if it looks like I can take it and isn't human.

You can take the mudfrog!

Look at the things around Oric's hand. They resemble the outline of a Soul Star. Is that his Soul Star doing that, or does he have some sort of power over the Stars, and therefore their respective souls?

It looks like the Astral Influx's outline, so I'm guessing the latter.

This is supposed to be an inconsistent cycle though! With so many more mistakes!

I'm not buying it.


Four things to consider about "remaking the prison":
1. If someone is remaking the prison, they were imprisoned before. When? (Don't just say "Previous cycles"--the Cycles started sometime, as far as we can tell.)
2. What if whoever is "recreating the prison" hasn't finished it yet?
3. Why does Rilitia know the answer?
4. Floe is The Voice.

GWG: I never said I want to kill it.

Then what DO you want to do? Let it run about and kill anyone it comes across?

No one man should wield such power. Controlling it is unacceptable because it makes the person controlling it a tyrant. Therefore, not my problem because I don't care.

You say you want to kill the Bookwyrm and can't believe that you were excluded from the alliance.
Now you say that you don't want to slay it and hate the very idea.
You are screwing with me.

The previous long list of abilities was depicting the possible advantages of non-humanoid forms, and not meant to imply that all of those properties would be possessed by a single entity. My apologies for ambiguity.

Ah.

We currently have a priestess, cultists, and goblins. I would expect this to increase, but yes, stuff could potentially happen.

Precisely. We cannot rely on any one resource without any backups.

I suggest keeping a supply of potential hosts with minds already crippled on hand. Methods to reduce the likelihood of them being detected would include focusing on poor individuals. People significantly harming themselves in pursuit of vices. And preferring immigrants.

A fair idea, but what makes you think that:
1. we'd be able to access our supply when we lose our current host?
2. we'd be able to easily feed that supply?
3. we'd be able to hide the supply?

Our main opposition is likely to be adventurers and political opponents. Both groups are known to hold many members who are willing to kill civilised species. I would expect us to typically avoid personal combat with credible opposition, but regardless, if we are facing an opponent without a humanoid host, then it is likely that we are doing so because they are equipped to battle a humanoid form.

Firstly, killing a humanoid isn't that much different than killing a non-humanoid. Secondly, those adventurers are likely to be our most dangerous opponents, combatwise at least...and they fight monsters more than humans.

I played, I think that it was Resident Evil IV, on the P.C., which lead to most of my fear being reserved for the interface... It was quite a while ago, but I recall the most intimidating monsters were random mooks with massive weapons.

I meant the movie.

Adding extended reach, sword-length spikes, smaller or more aggressive torso, hardened ridges, greater ability to react to things behind us, and less exposed sensory apparatus with more coverage would all degrade a human appearance.

Supernatural stuff covers it. Mind you, it would be a bit harder, but from a gameplay perspective I'm as certain that we could add those to a human form as easily as any other.

We are embarking upon a path of control. If we are bereft of cultists then we have already failed.

But we can come back for another day, if we have backup plans.

Gaseous form has issues with physical interaction, while it offers some advantages, and it would be good for our physical form to offer different advantages, just because gaseous form possesses a property does not mean that possessing that property in a physical form would be redundant.

It does, however, devalue forms with that quality in favor of forms that have qualities the gaseous does.

And people expect living things to be animate, if we can pass ourselves off as inanimate then it offers additional opportunities, inanimate and mobile is ideal...

...I'm not seeing what this has to do with stuff.

It is much easier to sell a pure-white horse with a spike sticking out of its forehead as a magical cure-all then a strange human with a vial of unknown liquid. To be certain, it has been done, but it will generally be more challenging...

So now you want to be a unicorn?
At least hermits are trustable. Snakes? The most trustworthy was in the Garden of Eden.

I think at this point it might be best if the G.M. just made our new form a multiple choice question...

Quite possibly.

((We accidentally chased off Goldie's girlfriend and "have terrible ideas," how horrible.

And 100% of the time, which "two for two" is, is actually pretty regular. Especially when you consider less major bits of bad luck...))

Be quiet and look around to see if anyone is around.
Also determine what's there.

Quite the opposite, in fact. I was asking your motive so I could determine how to convince you how keeping the bookwyrm alive is in your interest.

Now tell me, good hero: What justice is there in killing an innocent being that had no choice in being a giant murderous dragon when you could turn the beast to the side of good? My plan will have the Bookwyrm attacking only the evil. In addition, it will form a base for the Forces of Good and Justice, a mobile base which can take Good to the Evil!

One talent lowered, the other not.

Also, 18 seems a bit young for an officer...
