I had actually gotten some okay stuff for those down. Although I suppose I should choose a weapon and outfit.

let's jump in right now.
Use an explosive katana launcher to devastate the opposition.
Is that an explosive launcher that launches katana or a launcher that launches explosive katana?

Aether Remnant, head off to one side.

So...bring turkeys and alpacas as well, make the military an axedwarf and a marksdwarf, and wish we could add new creatures to the raws after worldgen? Any objections?

Wonder what the heck was wrong with Johan if the will is read.

Leave either way. Search the next room for loot.

Anyways. So, do I actually get a chance to try something or am I dead no matter what, despite the fact that I should have been able to see the phoenix and decide that, gee, maybe the Spire isn't such a good idea?

His work done, Aodun sets for for Spire, intent on devouring anything in sight

Basic laws of physics indicate that if you could see him, he could see you.
One problem.
Aodun is a giant glowing phoenix. This makes him conspicuous.
Nelkathar is a mountain in the shape of a dragon. The fact that he's made of rock makes him concealable.
Thus, Aodun is visible the moment the Spire comes over the horizon, while Nelkathar would need to approach more.

Check menus, flee off the side of the screen.

@ GWG
You are aware that you created massive mountain sized turtles which live of the trees on their backs? This alone defies the laws of physics and nature and you are complaining to me about that they can swim? Seriously?
TORTOISES.
WHICH LIVE ON LAND.
And yes.

the ecological collapse of the Jungle hasn't happened yet because not enought ime has passed. What you describe would take a spawn of several hudnred years and not a few dozen as have passed inbetween the recent turn.
But im sick of explaining myself.
Funny, that's the first you've explained that.

To make it short i think you have two possibilities left since you are obviously not in any way going to stop:
A) You leave the Game
B) you accept the way i administer this game and stop this constant complaining about every little bit.
I only just started complaining today. Okay, a couple barbs in previous posts, but seriously?]

I am the GM of this game. I am supposed to be the somewhat neutral Referee. If you think you need to constantly question that please leave the game because your turning it into a royal pain in the arse for me.
I'm sorry about that. Just...make sure Udil's pain and other "inconveniences" actually inconvenience him, okay?

Anyways. So, do I actually get a chance to try something or am I dead no matter what, despite the fact that I should have been able to see the phoenix and decide that, gee, maybe the Spire isn't such a good idea?

My problems are with Udil's "indordinate luck," not with anything he's done being mathematically impossible. As well as with my own actions ending absolutely as bad as they could have. Seriously, anything I do for dwarves is ignored, anything else is taken to the point where it hurts dwarves as much as possible, even beyond the levels of possibility (the more I think about it, the more tortoises which are made of rock swimming out to sea seems fishy), and no matter what I lose. Oh, and my arguments as to why there should be at least societal if not ecological collapse on the Ninth Continent were completely ignored, even when bringing them up as a reason why Udil was favored and not for explaining why the dwarves were doomed. That was a warning sign.

And Nelkathar pretty clearly stated he didn't know where the Spire was; how could he go thate? And if he could see the Spire, surely he also saw the giant flaming phoenix, which should give me a chance to run away before it saw me, or at least talk with it?

And I had forgotten that Golgo was personally helping Udil, okay? I thought that the spider had mostly convinced him to attack. Besides, that leaves everything else...

Jeez, what do you want Gwg, honestly if Aodun attacks you you are dead, i dont even need to roll for this he gets a +15 bonus on his rolls. you get nothing
together you have 1d6+3 bonus and 4 Healthpoints against a 1d6+15 and 9 healthpoints...if you have an idea how to circumvent dying go ahead and post it IC, i will change the post accordingly, but really i dont see any hope for you guys...
Simple.
Several points, in fact.

1. Udil killed Neyravah without a scratch when he was a dwarf, theoretically almost a cripple from age and wounds. Nethalkar and Traurig lacked any such limitations, and one was a freaking mountain-sized dragon made of rock! Either you favored Udil or we would have had a chance in a fair fight...if it had come to that.
2. Neither of us made an action to go to the Spire. Nelkathar's intent was to do so, but remember--he only had rumors about it. And Traurig didn't even try to move to the Spire.
3. What makes you think Nelkathar's first response would have been to fight back? Talking would have been more effective, and would probably occur to people before attacking the giant corrupted flaming phoenix.

Udil has had help in all of his battles. I imagine he'd have died long ago with no benefactors.
Who helped when he killed me?

34048
For which part of my statement?

I got called out by name directly and insinuated that I had no grounds for anything, when in fact I was dropping examples throughout.
And we were dropping reasons why your weren't true or were true for both sides of the argument. And you really could have phrased your own points better than I rather than claim Kain called you a dumbarse. You don't really expect me to be able to cite your reasoning as well as I can my own, do you?
Don't give yourself any credit. You never cited one historical example. You talked about police, and demotions, and various other modern concepts, because that's all you had.
1. I used police as analogies, and never actually said or implied anything like them would exist and be useful to my position.
2. Demote =~= Strip of rank, which is a legitimate concern.

34050
I agree. Why didn't GWG or gman get a chance to run like fuck first?
Nelkathar could plausibly fly away, but Traurig was definitely dead unless he climbed on Nelkathar.
And I would have let him.

Yes, but even so....at least give them false hope!
And you never know--even with just two minor acts, we might find some way to escape with our lives. Or, at least, negotiate...because it's not like even the craziest of gods are beyond the ability to talk to.


Oh, and I'd like to note this disturbing trend of things I say about Udil not being disproved. Two Ascendants with reason to hate Udil? Don't even get a chance to respond to being attacked.
