"Sally, Shloan--When you're in town, can you see about picking up some parchment or something? Pretty please?"

I'm not ungrateful, but my call would've attracted anyone.
I'm putting them to work smithing things and fighting. I think that's fine.

If they're treated as the people they are, fine by me.

Can you really blame my children for hunting them, though? At least we domesticated the Soultaken. We treat them well.

The Soultaken were still sentient! They really shouldn't have been robbed of wit and reason! YOUR DWARVES ENSLAVED THEIR OWN KIND!

Exuse me, but there are no dwarves but my kind. az-sho's people are dwarves no more, they are creatures of fire. BTW, I have created dwarven civilization, so i would apprecieate if you stopped blaming them for shit they didn't do. I still have things to sort out with one god...

You both may deny it, but they are still dwarves at heart, as they were made from dwarves and retain dwarven minds and souls. Don't deny them their dwarvenhood due to scales and such.
And I'm kinda the creator of dwarven civilization; even if you deny direct influence, I did kinda grant you the ability to come into play.

You are an inspiration for dwarven civilization in the same way that plagues are an inspiration to make medicine.

Might I remind you who brought the dwarves together in the woods, made you their leader, you ungrateful crippled alcoholic little beardling? Without me, you'd be nothing. Besides which, beforehand there was no motivation for anything. Now, with a hefty kick in the correct direction from me, your race has prospered and is one of the mightiest in the world. What do I get in return? Hate.
...Weird. While Neyravah wouldn't say that to Udil, I wouldn't say that to you. What is this?

I should think of a good app...

Would being the Elder God of Time be a boring job? Unless you people start messing with space-time continuum.

I might freeze time sometimes.

You try, but there's no Einsteinium nearby. You collapse, and are released as a gamma ray, along with your counterpart gamma ray, Bill. Your collapse triggers a Resonance Cascade!

A what now? Find a way to impart energy into another atom. THERE'S A REASON I SAID CARBON; You didn't listen! Carbon is STABLE, BONDS WITH MANY OTHER ATOMS for later molecules and won't explode into gamma rays instantly.

Why do you expect Bay12ers to be logical?

(One that was on the run and hasn't really spent time or money acquiring all that many resources.)

(...Good answer.)

Inform her of her part in the plan first, though.

I actually wouldn't, it would be difficult to do without raising suspicion, and she should be smart enough to figure it out.

We wouldn't do it in plain sight, silly. Is whatshername right next to the battlefield? No? Then let's go get her, and tell her when we find her.

If we actually need an excuse for her attacking the party, it should be easy enough to persuade them that she was doing it out of fear and conditioning from the other goblins.

That's what I'll call Plan B.

We sure are.

say word at the guy
Command/throw the cup to go into the pool
If safe, grab the coin

[2+1,2-1] You cast a spell! [2-1] You fall asleep...zz...

Ask the bird to help me. Also, say FAK two more times. It's fun to say.

[4+2,5+1;4+2,1+1] Two huge globs of filth, dirt, and trash appear, smothering you. Your wounds are probably infected, by the way.
The ABCD seems a bit...uncertain about helping you.

Fine fine... point at the statue and say words.

You do so. [1+1;1+1] Neither works. Ducking back into the room, you get a fleeting thought to make a sacrifice to the Random Number God.

I try to take energy from Arnok again
Then I pick up the sword I made a bit ago and sit down in the corner of the room to regenerate some energy naturally
I wouldn't mind if you let me take some energy Greenstarfanatic, it's not like you don't have a ton of it already.

[6v5+1] You can't quite overcome Arnok's mind. To console yourself, you grab The Arrow Greatsword.

Make a bolt for room for and search the room for anything of interest.  If my pool is at 3 currently say words at the door into room 4.

It is.
[3,4-2] You summon a creature. It is a sort of...thing. It is glowing red and has a birdlike head on a chitinous body with a pair of jointed limbs tipped with curving blades of light and two pairs of thin wings, and a fish's tail on the end. It drags itself towards you...

Carry on trying to save Arnok's life.

How nice. [1] Sadly, you just make his demise sudden and painful.

Ask if he need any help, check the room for list of other people.

"Um, yes, please hurry up..."

Cast SPELL at vines and try to free myself again.

You cast your spell. [4-1,1-1-1] (Oh dear.) You feel a bunch of air being drawn towards you. It kinda hurts, and compresses you a little. This causes the vines to constrict even tighter around you--you'll need to make Toughness rolls each turn to avoid falling unconscious.

-----

Oh my.
That was...kinda sad. Well, then.
The ABCD looks at Arnok's corpse, which vanishes. In its place is a mirror, which has a crystal frame and looks delicate. You can see a thin silhouetted swaying within. Of course, around that mirror are many of Arnok's possessions; perfect grave-robbing material.
Meanwhile, the new monster drags itself along the ground, as noted. [1] It kinda slips as it attacks--these new light-claws don't seem to be the beast's usual appendages. It manages to sever one claw.
The black pool convulses, belching up a single elephantine blob of inky goo. [3] Taking advantage of its snoozing quarry, it engulfs Javier. [4-1+1] He awakes with a shock!

Holy moley mother of Darwin.
piecewise, how in this or any other world did you manage to make something like that?

I'd advise spreading the words a bit to save your hide, Onyx.
A. You don't die.
B. It's potentially more people in the Alliance of Knowledge, which is always helpful.
C. It's not like words are going to remain the Only Big Thing once we get around to understanding runes. Once I spawn I'm gathering everyone willing to work with me for a systemized study of circles. Anyways, if you don't tell them, someone will...
