Hm, yeah, piece placement needs work...



Doomblade had one choice for his new Scout: F8. I took the liberty of placing the Scout there.

Dariush? Be sure not to Dari-rush on this turn.

We are in the lady?
Aren't we possessing the priestess?

Anyways, there is no point to having a priestess if we don't have a following. She is here to keep the minions in check and she should do that well. We need to set up our religion quickly so that she can work on that while we are off possessing folk. I still say that hoarders should have been largely overlooked and should have some potential to them. Alternatively, we could go with the rotting/poison thing and work on some sort of unhealth based religion. It shouldn't be too hard to help people to collect or poison and rot things...
Well, some sort of cult would be nice.

Woah. Kim's looking even scarier...
Kim may be looking scarier but Rothe just got a level in badass.
No, just a level in spiky. We'll see about badass...

Actually, "Urist" is the dwarven word for "dagger."

If the primary staff housing is not complete, wonder why the D-Class stuff was built first and claim a bed temporarily.
The D-Class housing has less amenities than the employee barracks, and is therefore easier to construct.
(True, but it's also almost entirely useless at the moment.)

Well, yes, but, the destruction seems to have pretty concise borders. If that was all one big kaboom you would expect debris and a few collapsed buildings outside of the worst of it.
There's a trope for that.
Anyways, there seems to be a bit of devastation outside the circle...but still suspicious.

At least lets tell the children that to give them false-hope that the city was just teleported and they can still save everyone...
Ah. We can do that.

I've got a bad feeling for...well, any kind of subterfuge as long as we're in this lady.

You could always try to negotiate a teaching agreement with someone. I, for one, would be willing to endure a single turn of starvation for a good enough offer...

Strangely enough, the game has no word for "Dwarf" programmed in.

Just to point out...
Corvus was acting in self-defense (and actually only inflicted insanity) and I'm pretty sure Az-Sho was trying to kill Udil...not successfully, but hey, he was trying.

And yet Vanida is more vulnerable than he is. Seriously, she rejected the only god willing to help her when she was right on the same planet as Udil and Aodun. Who's as hungry as fuck.
Naive as Corvus is, Vanida is a bit stupid for rejecting just about the only offer she'll get unless someone proves me wrong.
Quoted for truth. Poor Vanida.

and you dont need a scientific explanation for everything. We are Gods and there is Magic...i think you can't really explain most of that with Scientific Stuff...but if you want to go ahead, just wanted to tell you in case you felt obliged to give your Soulcatching planet some kind of pseudo-scientific explanation.
How does a magnetic field affect souls, anyway?
Doesn't stop me from trying
Thought's in the brain are a sequence of synapses, which function by slight chances in their electic charge. This changes the surrounding magentic field by a miniscule amount. A strong magnetic field and a good sensors could read and preserve "souls" that way.
The problem is, said synapses are contained entirely in the brain. If a soul is to exit the cranial cavity, not to mention not suffer horrible trauma destroying its form upon brain death, it obviously must be transmitted into some other medium. If you want to have the souls reach a whole other planet, you have three options: Aether, some sort of particle, or magic. I'd advise the last, although the first has promise...

Well, Corvus was sort of pissed as fuck when she tried to call him a hypocrite. This is the guy who doesn't like lying or having to backstab others, and he's also quite intelligent and connects the dots slightly easier and faster. He makes the assumption that others can too. Sadly, from first hand experience, a common occurrence IRL.
I know the feeling...poor Corvus...

@Ghaz:Can people be revived Ghaz? Without a pantheon.
Can people be revived with a pantheon?

I mean, most mythologies have godly underworlds, so it stands that here there should be one. In theory, this means that anyone short of an Overgod could be recalled, but they'd either be zombified or weaker, i.e Ancients become Youngers (sorry Az-Sho), Elders become Youngers, (sorry Neyravah), Youngers become Ascendants (sorry Aldemas), and Ascendants become pure mortals (sorry Nelkathar). Also, due to pragmatic reasons, only gods whose players are still around and unbanned by Ghazkull could be returned, so no Mutare reviving and Thaneos is probably staying dead, unless Shootandrun comes back.
I'm amused how two of the guys you're feeling sorry for are me.

Nelkathar outclasses any mortal just by virtue of being a dragon mountain.
Mountain-Dragon. A dragon mountain would be a mountain with dragons on it.

What if Neyravah went insane after their resurrection?
Yay, someone used the right pronoun! And to answer your question, there's a few possibilities. They might try to kill people (an incompetent god of death sounds like a lot of fun), or They might suddenly gain more competence, or They might have some completely random psychosis come up.

...God of Plagues has just arrived. Nurgle, is it you? It's me, Tzeentch.
You wish you were Tzeentch. Move over, Khorne is here.
I'll be Malal ;)
The God of Being Retconed Away? Maybe you could rule the Squats.
...Dwarves aren't squats for the purposes of this joke.

Determine the extent of damage done to my clothing. Prepare to try repairing them with magic before realizing I'm probably not that dextrous...try practicing my dexterity by magicking little designs in the walls.

33944
I'd be willing to try again, but this time understanding the rules and such ahead of time. You will fear my not-horribly belated smithies!

Am I the only one who interpreted scapheap's quip as indicating alcoholism?

Anyways, Blackwing's civilian name is Charles Crow. Nice name. He's a writer of some sort of popular fiction, with exact details of his work varying based on what time period we're going for member of the Presidential Cabinet or something.
