HP Rolls

Add 8 for 1st level and 16 for my Constitution modifier, minus 8 for the flaw, and Alecks's maximum HP is 56!

One trait and one flaw...Polite and Frail. Of course, "frail" is a relative term, what with his Evolutionist abilities...I imagine that being a bit frailer than normal was part of an inferiority complex which lead him onto the path of the Evolutionist.

Run headfirst into one of the pillars to see if it will set off any sort of trap.

NOOOOOOOOOOO
Try to grab this guy

Using party link, hope this guy succeeds!

Continue studying Earth magic. If I lose the roll to study there, swipe an unused Earth Magic book and read it even if I'm not yet advanced enough to understand all the principles.

((How long is each turn, give or take?))

Tell Edward to experiment with his saltwater-firenector mixture, maybe there is a way to control the explosion by spraying small amounts of it together, creating a small, incredibly hot, but not explodey flame.

This gave me an idea.
Could the mixture be used as a substitute for gunpowder with a little work?

Lower on the evolutionary chain? In a way, yes.

EVOLUTION! DOES! NOT! WORK! THAT! WAY!

What's wrong with having a bunch of 'slaves' in our people's possession?

The slave part.

Okay, sure, calling them slaves may be a bit much, but they wouldn't be indentured servants nor cattle.

Then why did you call them "slaves"? A slave isn't a mere laborer, it's someone who is sub-human (or whatever race), property rather than person. Making workers? Fine with me. A new race, just to be slaves to the humans? No.

It would be the sphere of temperature if we could freeze things. We can't. We have control of the chemical reactions of fire, can increase the temperature of something, or reduce it up to a point; that point likely being somewhere around a hundre to a few hundred degrees.

Actually, as has been quoted, previous Fire Gods have reduced temperatures, to the point of freezing paths across oceans. We probably could do stuff like that, too, if we tried (and had absurd amounts of mana to burn).

Oh, fun idea. Move the heat from the water to freeze it and boil the water around the ice bridge. Then when the enemy trails us, collapse the ice and cook them like lobsters. With a delicious iron shell.

That actually sounds kinda hilarious. But we'd need a substantial moat to try that.

I'd reckon that giant I saw earlier had something to do with it. But, as I said there's relatively no dwarves living where Emeraldhome was. They seem to have just vanished.

Really? Now that is truly odd...We wonder what could have happe--What was that? We just felt something...Please, pardon this rudeness. We must check on something...

Neyravah left his friend and sped to where They thought They felt a new presence, much like Them...but younger, more vivacious and mutable.
Soon, They found Alexandrus.

Greetings, younger god. We are Neyravah, the Elder God of Life. May I ask who you are?

Lower class is relative. The lower class might be starving but live in pristine homes.

Do we have anything to suggest this to be the case?

No, but...
It's probably easiest to assume the Order gods have a 1984 setup going, anyway.

Which kind of suggests even further that the lower classes don't have "pristine" homes.

I don't know about you guys, but that's no way for a person to live. We have to do something about this.

Anyway, I agree with using mind control bugs on people; as long as they have a trigger. Like, they can grow into someone's brain, but unless we expend mana telling them to go off, they remain docile.
Or really just any scheme to allow us to control them.

Only if we can de-trigger it as well. And ideally have the fungus clean itself/allow itself to be cleaned from the host's system.

For the troglodytes: slave class.

NO.

Lets make them into either bug or plant creatures(lizard beings might be rude to Krait, and I think Leto might not mind if they're bugs), and then get them to propagate. Bam, instant bunch of slave workers.

Leave out "slave," and sounds good.

And as they lack powerful souls, it's obvious they're less free-willed, or less intelligent or less.. something than regular beings. So we can control them, or setup their bodies to be controlled, with ease. Compared to humans.

I'm a bit edgy about this...

I don't advise them as worshippers. Jaras are superior in that respect.

They'd worship us either way. Besides, the more the merrier.

Our Life forces have so far been mostly insectile. I think bugs should be our theme, or "Lower" life forms, anyway. Even though they dominate the planet.

Seriously, reading "Micro" has given me huge respect for my insect friends.

..."Lower?"
"Lower?"
"Lower?"
LOWER?!?
I can't stand when people use stupid terminology like that. It's an Aristotelian ladde rof hierarchy with no basis in fact and much against it for millenia. I am going to stop before I go into a huge off-topic rant!

Bugs are abominations and when we make a mammal, we should toss all our previously made insectoid life into a lake of fire.

-1, the lower life thing is cool.

+1, except for referring to arthropods as "lower," you hominid centrist.
