Patience, Grasshopper. But yes...eventually...Yes, comparing to her magnitude, Maher is a minion. He can't know everything about herNot for long. Soon, we'll have him begging for scraps.
And we are a minion comparing to Maher...
Yes, comparing to her magnitude, Maher is a minion. He can't know everything about herI wouldn't say that. We're not quite as strong, perhaps, but we're no minion.
And we are a minion comparing to Maher...
I kinda like the idea of having the prison be under Jiorya...Remind me, where's Jiorya?
My suggestion for this turn ( assuming that Corruptor aren't writing it already)My critiques on your suggestions:
a) visit the afterlife, look for unusual souls among that 137No objections here. Is it just me or are we seeing eye-to-eye more?
b) Upgrade Tibeius with a single manarack nugget (we have 15!)
c) Grant some people farming boon (I prefer 10), make them prepare food for the feast and for the caravanMaybe 5, since tons of people are against it. More of a compromise.
d) reject the offer of the goddess, or agree if we will retain the right to sell products from the fire nectar and process it [/b]I'd rather do the second. We're definitely taking some form of the deal; periodic favors PLUS firenector sales? But yeah, the right to process firenector and sell the products would be good. (Bring up Uristiel and say we've promised to sell him some flamerum.)
And that's all, next update will be the trading one, one next is the ournament one.. then we may consider new MegaprojectsThen let's also do things that don't cost mana, like asking Serena what she knows and is willing to shares about the nature of souls.
"Heh. Well, I might have gotten a little reckless there...but it's all good. There's this one dwarf, Udil--he's basically my prophet now--who killed a Fangdrake all by himself. And, no offense, but if it wasn't for the cold a Fangdrake could probably munch a pack of your wolves for breakfast. They'll do great, especially with my guidance.""A nimble beast that's the size of a wolf, but has claws and fangs that leave a substance that freezes the wound and causes extreme pain and can also heal in small amounts. The other predator is a large beast that is similar to a bear but has eyes that are so fearsome animals freeze up in shock upon seeing the eyes. Then, there are these adorable little rabbits that are indistinguishable from the frozen ground, but they are a wee bit twitchy. I would suggest some smaller and tamer animal for your jungle, seeing that your dwarves have a fair bit of trouble dealing with those awfully huge drakes."Well enough. There's a few groups; one's fishing, one hunts a type of massive beast--the size of whales, but with elongated necks and tails, and living on land; I call them whipdrakes--and the ones I focus on, who wouldn't likely survive otherwise, are living in the mighty jungles, full of more massive creatures of my own creation! And they're doing quite well; I'm proud of them. My, what's this little dealie you're working on? Some sort of predator?"Also, during the time when Neyravah rested, he flew over the world, visiting other gods' lands to greet the gods and see how and what they were doing.Greeting, brother. It is nice to see you here. As you can see, I'm converting the lands that all of you neglected into winter-lands. Might I ask how your dwarves are going about with their business?
He would know because he's rather powerful, been around a lot longer than us, and seems to have had these a constant quarrel going with her for quite sometime. But then again, I bet so has every other god.Still...by his own admission, there's millions of orcs.
Devil of Earth here. Unless you plan on making the prison out of wood, I'm your deity.Probably with help from Jim, yep.
"MY MISTAKE! SHOOT TRUE!""Good luck. WHO'S MANNING THE GUN?"(I'm pretty sure Furtuka is on the gun.)
No, they wouldn't. Sentient plants aren't human, by any stretch. We'd have to see the final product to be sure, of course...+1; Let's just do one or the other. Both seems redundant to me, although to be honest I'm not sure which I'd prefer which is sort of the problem. Would sentient plant followers make humans obsolete?All in favour of trying to make our stems a full blow race, say aye.Nay.
Make a Stem-like race which is a full race but is visually distinct from our Stems. That way, not only can our villagers tell them apart, other gods won't think we're invading if some emmigrate.Also anyone in favor of genetically modifying our human followers to breed faster, grow into adulthood faster but also live an overall longer life?Okay, while we're at it, let's just make them learn faster as well.Aye if we use volunteers.
I like how you people try to break the game. Do you hope that GM will not counter any overpowered idea?What makes these overpowered? Races have been made and/or modified, the same can happen again. Stems have been made to reproduce fast before, we can do it again.
After some rereading of the first pages I am sure that it's veeery hard to create a worshiper (Yep I tried to propose that with firejackets, my mistake)Hm...we really need to do our research.
When we turned Tiberius into a golem we lost one worshiper and mana income. So creation with human soul, doesn't give any mana if it's not a human
Mutating humans may lead to the same result...
And I dislike what can happen with bad rolls
C,D: Implied to be false by Maher, what with the "The". Of course, how would he know?QuoteA: Stupidity and the right culture don't leave a lot of room for change...not that we've investigated orkish society much.C - some orcs worship more than one god
B: She killed the other gods of orcs?
D - There are orcs that don't worship her, but they are a small minority
I was thinking that we could institute some competitions around harvest time or some such. Perhaps some that could be used to help toughen up the populace and talent scout decent fighters. It could be a "common mans tourney". There could be a a fistfighting competition, an archery competition and a stave-fighting competition, perhaps each with a modest reward of grain and a place at our table during the feasting. We might also arrange a dance, though that would require in the least some crude instruments, if not a bard or three. Though come to think of it a bard could definitely help bring in business for the tavern.I like this idea.
A: Stupidity and the right culture don't leave a lot of room for change...not that we've investigated orkish society much.Well then, I misunderstood. But then I must wonder why a) both her and the orcs are so alike in personality, and b) How the hell she managed to be the sole/chief goddess of all OrckindQuoteMaher did.Maher never said that Grumugga created orcs. He said that she is a goddess worshiped by all orckind.
here are his words:QuoteMaher chuckled. "You don't seem to understand," he replied. "Grumugga is not a Goddess of Orcs. She is the Goddess of Orcs. All of Orckind worships her, and across this entire world their total population is in the millions."
EDIT: I took the 'She is the goddess of Orcs' bit to mean that she was their progenitor, as opposed to one who had climbed to the top though other means.
