Maybe we just find the source of the water curse, and destroy that?

We tried that.
We need worshipers NOW, and a promise of breaking the curse if they pray to us enough isn't too attractive.
Thus...
We make the Dark Cows or whatever, getting more power and a consistent supply thereof. Once we do that, we examine the curse and see if we can destroy it. End result: Happy village with a good source of wealth that also serves as a constant reminder of why they worship us, as opposed to an annoyed village with no further incentive to worship.

No.

1. We're a God of Shadows. It's unseemly for our creations to die when darkness comes.
2. Darkness is easier to find than light.
3. We're a god. Physics need not apply.

Hmm, good points. Apart from the third one, since it's probably harder work to go against the laws of physics than to follow them. Since we're just starting out, I'd say it's best to minimise workload, so we have a good supply in case of bad stuff. It's why we chose the cows, isn't it?

Mr. Ninja, it may be like that, but since we're a God of Darkness we have an edge at making dark-feeding creatures, like a God of Life would be better at making a photosynthetic one. Anyways, it's more flavorful and works better for us.

Your eventual demise comes when you unwisely wander into Wonderland without a vorpal blade and are caught by the Jabberwock.

I tend to ignore things I can't make fit.

Yeah, sorry about starting the Akinator thing...

Skog: Get undistracted and give one of the nice ladies your spells.
Others: Get un-lined-up, prepare to swap the arm blade or love letter for the spell(s).
Rilitia: Attack again.
Ciro: Zap, stop being Autocorrected to Cairo.

Being fed up with all the horrible, horrible messes time travel has created, not the least of which are your children, you have decided to go on a crusade in your late one hundred and twenties (though you still resemble a 30-year-old) to eliminate all time travel from whence it sprang, in all iterations, variants and potential wellsprings. Because seriously, screw time travel. It was fun for a while, but it became so incredibly convoluted and at the same time utterly pointless that you thought it should end. Forever.

Due to the other time travelers vehemently disagreeing, this is a bit more difficult than one might think.

[3-1] You've considered doing this, but given temporal stability it wouldn't do anything.

In fact, you will spend your final years in the Dark Ages as the first female viking captain, because raiding is delightfully simple compared to this wibbly wobbly timey wimey ball of stuff that time travel is, and eventually got imprisioned for blasphemy. You know this because you witnessed your execution first-hand, while hunting down a particularily elusive piece in your wanted posters collection.

Wibbly wobbly ball of stuff? Not this kind of time travel. That was established long ago.
[3] You got imprisoned in the Dark Ages for blasphemy and were also a Viking captain, but neither of those lead to your death; in fact, the two happened the better part of a century apart.

You have a shotgun that uses books as ammunition.

What?
[5-2] You invented a shotgun which fires wood chips; insert wood block, output dangerous projectiles! It can work on books, too, but that's not as effective.

Next turn is it! Might wanna name the kid...

By my calculations, exploring and getting in shape by pushing in a random direction would probably command a good proportion of the vote.

Wait, which forced bid?
