Lords of Creation 2 (A World Building/RP Project)

[Sicarius]

Time for Mommy to play with Baby.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Just FYI there is no Lunar Palace or... anything, on the moon. It's pretty much the moon we have, except it's a huge eye in space.

[Innis Cabal]

Hey Mike, your god can't stick around on the Material for long. He's DR 6. :smallwink:

We don't want it to unravel and explode.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

He'll be travelling to Limbo, or put there for his own good. :smallamused:

[Suberman]

Hey Mike, your god can't stick around on the Material for long. He's DR 6. :smallwink:

My mistake. I didn't even think about that.

[HoundDog]

Sorry to disturb your thread (I couldn't find anywhere else to put this message) but where is the recruitment thread? The game looks really cool, and I was wondering how to join.:smallsmile:

[Innis Cabal]

On the second page of the recruitment thread actually.

Here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97449&page=3)

[HoundDog]

Okay: thanks!

[Innis Cabal]

Mike. You don't have AP untill tommorow at 7 PM EST.

[Evil DM Mark3]

I was about to ask about that. What is the +/- GMT on EST?

[Innis Cabal]

Umm....should be two hours.

[Evil DM Mark3]

About 23 hours to go?

[Mike_the_Mystic]

In this world, Hyenas, Hyenadonts, and Andrewsarchids are related. :biggrin:

[Evil DM Mark3]

I have never even heard of two of those...

[Innis Cabal]

Thats fine mike...but not untill tommorow.

And about 22 hours Evil.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Then I shall edit so it only happens tomarrow!

[Innis Cabal]

If..you don't mind can you post your AP spending tommorow? As you have 0 at the moment, not fair to the other people comming in tommorow you see.

And I have also never heard of the other two. What are they?

Edit: Thank you :smallbiggrin:

Everyone will get their AP tommorow. And then you can all go nuts!

[Innis Cabal]

Ah, pre-historic creatures. Alrighty. Had never heard of em..

Thanks :smallbiggrin:

[Evil DM Mark3]

Everyone will get their AP tommorow. And then you can all go nuts!I have a highly interesting cat coming, if dad gets out of the light.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

They look cool, do they not?

[Reath]

Hey, it worked- Thanks!

[Evil DM Mark3]

I have put my soon-to-be creation on the homebrew thread. Not the most martial of servants but certainly likely to make mortals more superstitious, no? (and if certain other gods get blamed, well, not me fault is it?)

[Reath]

Oooh, thassa nice pet to have.


... wonder how I can get some living on Daryl (Daryl is the name of both the tree, and the island, by the way.)

[Evil DM Mark3]

... wonder how I can get some living on Daryl (Daryl is the name of both the tree, and the island, by the way.)

It is amazing how far and fast a creature that lucky can travel.

"What is that out there on the water?"
"What?"
"It looks like an animal floating on a fallen tree, yes it is, there is a small animal on that tree, which has apparently just performed a very neat dock with the beach."
"How far away do you reckon it came from?"
"I dunno, but I reckon that animal has to be famished, I wonder if it eats fish..."

Years later:
"Legend says that the first cats arrived on this island by sailing a tree. Cats are very wise, very stealthy and very lucky, and it is bad luck to be cruel to one."

*Amendment!*
And Hyenas, Hyenadonts and Andrewsarchids find these creatures quite delicious and actively hunt them.

[Reath]

Actually, it's a flying island, which makes the whole situation a leetle more difficult.

But, I bet that Dayo would like the concept of luck, seeing as he's into the whole chaos thing. And besides, what makes you more emotional than winning big or loosing everything?


Also: I'm trying to point out where everything is on Zeta Kai's map, to try an organize all this terrain in my mind. If you guys could point out where everything is on the map, that's be great. (Oh, and it'd be great to know where Yen's city is, too, for the sake of putting down at least one city.)

On a side note, it's really interesting looking at the map up close. You can see the pixels!

[Evil DM Mark3]

*Amendment!*
And Hyenas, Hyenadonts and Andrewsarchids find these creatures quite delicious and actively hunt them.How do you hunt them? First off without magic you can't tell them from cats, second they have DIMENSION DOOR as a swift SP 1/round. Go to bite them and they are gone. Oh and third pack hunters do not usually go after such small prey, they need large prey to be able to feed the pack.
Actually, it's a flying island, which makes the whole situation a leetle more difficult. "Um, did that eagle just drop something?"

[Reath]

Perfect! Hooray for eagles! ... and cats who almost get eaten by them!

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Oh, you made special cats, not cats in general? I see the importance of your post now, But hyenas/hyenadonts/andrewsarchi eat ANYTHING, from grass and small animals, to larger beasts. So cats will be eaten, if they catch yours, then even better! It will actually help Herrak to eat a magical animal, so that's their mentality to eating your cats. :smallbiggrin:

[Evil DM Mark3]

Animals already existed, and thus cats in general. As such in order to make people more superstitious there are going to be some cats that are magic. 99.999% of mortals will not even know the special cats exist.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

I'm sure most (almost all) will get away then, but consider your magic cats a delicacy.

[Innis Cabal]

Hey Vadin. L.A do either of you need the 1 AP from the pantheon tommorow?

[Vossik]

What domains are taken/open?

[Aergoth]

See the recruitment thread.

[Innis Cabal]

Ok! Roll over tonight. Please remember first poster -after- 7 PM please post

Week 2

At the top of your post before your God's name and location. Thank you.

I am working on several things at the moment for better and clean recruitment.

As for the spoken of combat system.

I am working on that as well. It will take time unless anyone would like to chip in. If so, please PM me and we'll get it all worked out.

Thank you to all in advance. Have fun with your AP tonight! I know I will! :smallwink:

[HoundDog]

Hiya! I've been given permission to place my God on this OOC thread, so here it is:

Opalum, the price to pay
Played by HoundDog
DR6 Druid 20 Heirophant 5 Lore master 3
Home: The Void (until he can create one of his own)
Domains: Healing, Evil
Portfolio: Poison
Symbol: A sprig of deadly nightshade
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Favoured Weapon: Sickle

Description: Many know that everything comes at a price. For healing, the price might just be Opalum. He is the God of healing, so long as you keep your side of the bargain. Otherwise, he is the God of venom in your veins, of the slow corruption and rot of your flesh and life. Whilst his bargains are to the letter, he is not adverse to fun and can be rather fickle (not to an inhuman extent though), and the punishments for crimes against him vary greatly: from being very harsh to being barely noticable.
His natural form is that of a wild man that appears to sometimes be made of liquid and at other times appear to be perfectly natural: although with a sickly green colour on his skin.

[Vadin]

Opalum: +1 vote!

Innis: I don't forsee needing it this week. (EDIT: The 1 AP from the pantheon)

[Innis Cabal]

Which? The Domain list or the combat? Or something else?

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Another vote for Opalum... but I can't shake the feeling I've seen the concept somewhere...

And it seems noone wants to travel to the lands of Luumu or Lerios' Emerald Crown.

[Innis Cabal]

What do you mean? And he's in tonight then. He has 3 votes.

As for travel...other then gods..its going to be hard for mortals to travel.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Well, I dunno, I just feel I've heard the concept of "evil healing god who heals people... at a price"

Also, they already traveled to the Shadowkin Mountain, and some other peoples lands...

[Innis Cabal]

All of them are connected by land. The water is to rough to ride and boats arn't around. Just saying, nothing but things living in water will be able to...get through the water.

Edit: Also, lost myself there. HoundDogs god needs a begetter.

Editedit: And there we are. We may not have oceans and the like, but we do have the air! Stats and the like after I am done with the domain list.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

The time for the children of the Eye has come! Or, if you want to hold off till our societies have contacted one another, I was thinking of making Cyclopses.

[Vadin]

LET IT BE DONE! Beholders, BE BORN!

And then we'll create cyclopes (cylco-peez, the plural of cyclopse) to be the armies of the beholders, and the Disciples of Luumu will be the secret police, and the vampires will be the aristocracy and diplomats of the great slave-taking Iuran Empire, and then we shall conquer the world! MUAHAHAHA! HAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

*cough, cough*

Umm...yeah, go ahead with that and stuff. I'm gonna...go...over there now...

1 AP has already been spent towards them, so they just need 1 more from you to come into being.

[Incendius]

A question, how are realms like the moon considered for Gods to walk upon? Like is it alright if I say I'm at the moon, being a 6 DR deity, or am I really saying that I'm at the moon as it relates its aspect across the Astral Plane, and that I am not actually physically at the moon itself?


More of a philosophical question than a real one, but heh, something to occupy :smalltongue:

[Lord_Asmodeus]

IT... BEGINS!

your turn Vadin (tags out)

Edit: You already spent 1AP on the Beholders right?

[Incendius]

Just in case you didn't catch it (Because I did put it up in an edit) I made a part of my post addressing you LA.






So is there a great stream of fire from the Sun to the Moon now or something, because thats how it sounds like it is :smallwink:

[Vadin]

Yeah, I spent 1 AP on them already.

And no, the moon is just going a little fast and then sun is going a little slower (strecthing across the sky to see each other), nothing is actually shooting across the sky.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

And thus, Beholders start their glorious birth in the world!

[Incendius]

Sicarius: You need to Raise DR before you can evolve physically.




Also a question, is lime a bit too hard on the eyes for everyone? I'll change it if others don't like it.

[Innis Cabal]

Its a little bright.

And Mike. Your DR 6, you can't go to the mortal plane.

Also, that rule was placed in so new people just didnt blow their first 3 AP on Evolve and have nothing to do for the rest of the week.

With half roll over, that rule really can be removed as the purpose it was put in for is..well...it isn't a problem anymore.

Vadin, L.A you ok with that?

[Mike_the_Mystic]

I thought the midnight carnival was a place for the dead. And that wouldn't stop an evil god, would it?

[Reath]

Hmm. I may have to reconsider my following ations. For now, my people can probably live quite well with what I have planned for them...

Hmm.


In any case, two things: a) What is the sky sea? Will it interfere with Daryl's path?, and b) do you mind if a couple of Daryllians enter the meeting that's going on right now? It would be the perfect opportunity, because I'm hopping to introduce them to Arcane magic, and they could easily act as carriers for spices you need transported from continent to continent, resolving the whole land-bridge problem.

Daryl travels around the world rather quickly- I'm thinking it makes a full revolution every 2 or 3 months. It's orbit is also curved- it crossed the continent of the encepholeans, up into the dwarven artic, back down near (See: about 100 or so miles from) Tenki, crosses over a very small portion of sea and desert, crosses some Great Forest, then hits where it started and starts all over again.

[Innis Cabal]

I thought the midnight carnival was a place for the dead. And that wouldn't stop an evil god, would it?

I misunderstood, he went to the Midnight Carnival. Thats fine, sorry bout that.

@Reath

1. The Sky Sea is what it sounds like. Yen made the sky into a sea because the actuall sea....is harmful to life, it has conditions and the like, and i'll post em. More or less, ships can sail in the sky. Mortals can't swim in the sky though. Again, conditions.

2. I wouldn't mind if they did, its up to you :smallwink:

[Reath]

1. How high up is it? Daryl is about a mile up.

2. Great!

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Tag team switch! (slaps out)

Vadin, you're up! :smallbiggrin:

[Vadin]

Wooo! Go Team Eyeballs!

[Incendius]

Why didn't you name the Sky Sea Skypiea? :smallwink:

[Innis Cabal]

Because...I would never type again ;P

Though I love the joke.

[Vadin]

LA: Now then...cyclopes, perhaps?

[Lord_Asmodeus]

LA: Now then...cyclopes, perhaps?

INDEED! CYCLOPSES! (YES, CYCLOPSES :smalltongue:)

[Innis Cabal]

Sorry Reath, edited post for ya

[Reath]

Hey, I finally finished putting everything on the map Zeta Kai gave us! My edits are kinda... horrid, but I hope you can still understand it.

http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp44/reathteer4/InnisCabal-11.jpg

Yes, the path of Daryl is horrid at the moment, but I'll redo it at some later point.

[Innis Cabal]

Thats awsome Reath

Also sort of done(The numbers are off Yes I know))

DOMAINS

Please note: New gods can come into play using a domain from the taken, claimed, or contested list. They must first, however, convince all the gods listed to give up that domain - this both creates a power vacuum for the new god, who now has something unique to do; and ensures that the plans of existing gods wouldn't be ruined by the newbie. Feel free to say no, folks, you were there first.

Every domain has three "slots" - one for a primary domain only, and two for secondary domains only. A god who attempts to gain the domain when this limit has already been reached counts as contesting the domain, but does not actually receive it; whether they win the right to contest in combat, or use the Gain Domain option.
Every god receives one alignment domain for free at character creation. There is no limit on how many gods can share an alignment domain.
ALIGNMENT:

{table]Domain|Available To
Balance|Any Neutral
Chaos|CN, CG, CE
Evil|LE, NE, CE
Good|LG, NG, CG,
Indifference|Any Neutral
Law|LG, LN, LE[/table]


New gods should choose a domain off the following list. Ideally, you should choose a totally open domain, indicated with a bold domain name. Domains with a bolded deity in the first column are not available.

Let me know if I missed some people

[Reath]

I'm tempted to grab Courage and Dream at some later point...


Waitwaitwait-

Wouldn't a herogod-ascended-to-godhood be the perfect candidate for holding the Hero and Courage domains? I mean, that'd be really great.

Someone needs to take that.

Edit: Hmm.
Love, Greed, Lust, Envy, Pleasure, Joy, Passion, Pride... aren't those Emotions? Eeenteresting. Very eeenteresting.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Seven sins gods and goddesses for the win?

[Innis Cabal]

There are also the 7 virtues on there as well.

Though Pleasure is so Yen

[Reath]

Eh, only four of the eight I listed are Sins.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Lerios is probably either Pride or Envy. Probably some of both, Greed too.

[Reath]

Is the placement of the Emerald Crown fine, L.A.?

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Well... it's supposed to be on the other side of the planet from Iuro (Luumu's land) Also, just for clarification, you know it's not shaped like that right?

[Sicarius]

The First Road, that Cryala made to guide people away from the crushing sea, is not on there -_-

[Reath]

Ah! Where is the First Road on the Map?

Also, you said it was a chain of islands.


... creative liscence? :smalleek:

Arg, I'm gunna have to redo it after all. :smallannoyed:

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Ah! Where is the First Road on the Map?

Also, you said it was a chain of islands.


... creative liscence? :smalleek:

I described it pretty thoroughly though... it's a rough circle of islands around a large island, but they're all connected underground: Here's the actual quote:




Lerios decided he needed a counterpart to his brothers desert. Where his brother used the brutal strength of his light to make the land barren and obedient, Lerios would be more subtle, however subtlety was relative, and this WAS just the beginning... On the opposite side of the world from Luumu's desert, arose a new kind of place. It was a chain of islands above the ground, forming a rough circle of smaller islands with a single large island in the center. Below the water it was a massive land-mass. The land mass was surrounded by water, and there were a number of caves that lead to the sea, but it was also criss-crossed by tunnels, and many of the caves eventually lead to dry land in these tunnels. Lerios would do more with this later. For now he focused on the top of the islands.

From all of the islands great forests and jungles rose. Each of the forests resembled the sort from the area they took around the center. For instance, the top most forests were like those in the far north, full of pine and spruce and oak, whereas the bottom one was filled with jungles, and so it was if there were shades of forests over the world. In the center island palm trees grew besides maple, and all the trees and forest life of the world intermingled, and grew huge, and mushrooms grew as large as trees. In these islands, the blinding light of the Sun could not invade past the tops of the trees, but the subtle light of the Moon could penetrate, and so it was during the night, and not the day, where there was light, a white light that was cool and soothing. Into these lands he placed dozens of kinds of animals, from foraging squirrels to panthers and tigers, to tusked boar and savage wolves. He gave all such creatures a predilection for the night-time, when the moon was full and the sun was not to be seen.


There'd probably be at least 6 or 8 islands surrounding the inner island. Also, Luumu's land is a desert/scrubland around the size of Asia, and the Emerald Crown is larger than Europe. (the entire landmass is, width and height on a map wise as well as overall size)

[Reath]

Found that after you mentioned the fact.

You probably should've mentioned that when I PM'd you... in any case, I read it as England sized, not Europe, initially, so that's the whole 'Size' issue. <.< >.>

Y'know, come to think of it, I probably should've chosen a smaller island to turn into Daryl, too.

[vegetalss4]

Innis nice list but you forgot that i also have the dragon domain.

Reath you forgoth my Irr'karrtana mountains (they are all over the large kontinent)

[Innis Cabal]

I knew I was forgetting some stuff, i'll fix it

[Evil DM Mark3]

I wonder if I will get away with these shenanigans or not...

[Innis Cabal]

Trying to pass off your brother as a mortal contestant?

[Evil DM Mark3]

Trying to pass off your brother as a mortal contestant?Trying to pass off half of me as a mortal contestant, yes. To be fair it was that or a fortune cat...

[Innis Cabal]

Gods can sense other divine presences unless AP is spent to hide it. Not saying it won't work.

Its all up to Yen :smallwink:

Working on the actual way things will be set up.

Also, this is totally not a "DM" thing. This is absolutly spur of the moment Yen.

[Evil DM Mark3]

Of course he is present, he is right there in the cat mask...

I am also not saying that it will work, but seeing as no other god has more than one body at the moment it might just be that no one works it out.

Do actions to get domains need to be thing you spend AP on or can then be RP? Because if it is I think we may both (by you hosting it and me trying to cheat at it) have got an action towards Competition.

[Innis Cabal]

You have to spend AP on it.

The only actions that don't count for domains are DR raise, Evolve and Gain Portfolio.

[Evil DM Mark3]

Hmmm. Because I hadn't been thinking about this I wonder what domains the cats would count for, Fate maybe? I already have Luck.

[HoundDog]

Hi!

Thanks for voting me in but should I send a message to a player asking them to beget my God?

[Innis Cabal]

Ya, sounds good

[Sicarius]

So do I need to raise DR before I Evolve?

[Innis Cabal]

Nope. Your all good from here on.

[vegetalss4]

rules question
as an avatar count as a semi deity can you spend ap's to get them to help you in combat?

[Innis Cabal]

No. Avatar's are you. They spend your AP...well...you spend your AP....through you.

You can have them help fluff wise...but as the combat system is written it does not take Avatar's into account.

[Vadin]

So LA...I take it that Beholder is mine and the Cyclops is yours, or are you trying to catch your brother off guard? :smallwink:

If Lerios is trying to subtly usurp Luumu's position among the gods, I'm cool with it. That would be something quite interesting to see play out.

Well, LA? Is that Beholder mine, or will I have to eat it?

[Lord_Asmodeus]

The Beholder is Lerios, the Cyclops is supposed to be his Champion. He's wearing the sunburst mask because... it's a mask, he thought it was clever :smalltongue:

[Vadin]

Well then...I can play that game.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Also, the Cyclops is supposed to be all the things he's/obtained in one (mortal wise at least)

[Vossik]

This is the OOC thread right?
Faalisk, the Wanderer
Vossik
Divine Rank: 6
Classes: Monk 17, Wizard 6, Enlightened Fist 5
Symbol: Ouroboros
Home: Astral Plane
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Domains: Time, Law
Portfolio: Time
Favored Weapon: Quarterstaff

Faalisk personifies time the speed is irrelevant, however the direction is. He normally will not take action, however he will do everything in his power to prevent the past from being altered. He believes in order, above all else the laws of time must be obeyed. He encourages his followers to study the past instead of looking to the future in order to grasp what is ahead; knowing very well that the past repeats itself. He enjoys watching progress, but hates the destruction it causes. He understands that all things must come to an end; even those he has gifted with a timeless body.

[Fierywasabi231]

...
Well I am evidently an idiot because I didn't see the new thread until just now...
Sigh, can I join in?
I know I was meant to be one of the original gods... Dammit...

[Innis Cabal]

You can, but a warning ;D we already have a tech god.

Also, try to keep it High Fantasy all of you!

[Fierywasabi231]

Sigh, I wish someone had Pmed me or something about this, I did help design some of it after all. I had assumed that LoC 2 was referring to the 4E version and the I didn't see a link in the OOC. Oh well, time to design.

If we are sticking to high fantasy, I'll probably play a beserker god or something to that order...

[Innis Cabal]

It was posted in the old recruitment thread :smallwink: (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5325575&postcount=331)

And its not the same world.

[Reath]

So...

At -some- point, a giant Sea Whale is attacking Daryl.

No question about it.

[Fierywasabi231]

Yeah I noticed from the absence of metal as an element...
My bad there.

So whats the thing about second wind, do we get that on top of the weekly gain and is it of what our current total AP is? And if so is it after or before the weekly AP is added?

Also where is the IC, I can't seem to find the link.

[Reath]

[Innis Cabal]

The second wind is half your weekly AP gained at Rollover time(Changed to 7 PM EST for you non-american's).

And thank you Reath.

And wouldn'y a SKY WHALE be more awsome?

[Reath]

Sky Whale, Sea whale...

What I meant was SKYSEA WHALE! :smallbiggrin:

[Innis Cabal]

I'll be spending the AP to make the Skysea creatures monday.

Thursday will be...flying "buildings", AKA ships.

And Sky Sea Whales would be bloody scary. All of a sudden...the air is filled with a wail...and your ship is devoured.

[Reath]

Yeah, I can imagine. Even only an occasional Skysea whale drifting downwards would give the Daryllians reason to train fighters.

But, on the flipside, one whale could feed the entire city for several days!

[Vadin]

Hahaha! Which is the champion? Which is Luumu? Does it seem obvious? Is that part of the trick? Ooooh, you'll never know!

Ok, so you'll know, but not for some time, apparently.

And 4 AP! Huzzah!

[Lord_Asmodeus]

I'll be spending the AP to make the Skysea creatures monday.

Especially frightening is the massive Moby ****, a huge white skywhale that blends in with the clouds effortlessly... seemingly immortal, and nigh unkillable this legend of the skies is the terror of Skyships, a boogyman that all believe to be fable but is dreadfully true, and when the Skywhales mournful tones fill the air, airsailors pray to the gods that they are far away, and Moby **** isn't on the prowl...

Edit: Well aint that just a... word... I'm talking about a name from a book >.<

[Innis Cabal]

Yes. Truely the biggest foe to all those living in the sky would be Herman Melville

[Fierywasabi231]

So you only get half of your weekly AP a week? Or is it split up?
Also is combat the same as the last LoC?
And... wow. Week 0's got 18 AP? Wish I had realized that this game had started.

[Innis Cabal]

Roll over is monday(At 7 PM EST). You gan half your weekly AP on thursday at the same time as roll over. You gain both.

[Vadin]

FACT: Luumu is DR 8. I believe that might put him at the top of the high DR heap? And LA- get to DR 7! GO! GO! GO! FOOOOTBAAAAAAL!

[Innis Cabal]

That would make him the highest DR God actually.

I also want to point something out. All the Sky Lords are Neutral Evil. What in gods name does that mean.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

That Yugoloths will be the dominant Fiends, and the world is ****ed? Also, that means I get 2 AP or 4AP?

[Vadin]

4 AP.

@Innis: Umm...what exactly will be happening at this here party?

[Lord_Asmodeus]

hmmm, I believe I might have 4AP left since I don't believe I'd spent much since the original creation... but I may be wrong... must investigate!

[Innis Cabal]

4 AP.

@Innis: Umm...what exactly will be happening at this here party?

:smallbiggrin:

Mortals will be fighting for godly amusement. Non-lethal combat >.>

Its just something Yen thought up for fun.

And you get 4 AP(if you are evolved) on monday and 2 on thursday.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Upon further review, I have realized I haven't spent any of my Thursday AP, so I have 4. If I missed something please inform me, otherwise, DR7 HERE I COME!

[Innis Cabal]

If you didn't spend your AP gain from thursday and were evolved then that would be 2+4. Meaning you get 6.

Last time:

You gain your -full AP- on monday. Half of your -full AP- on thursday. ALL THAT 7 PM

[Fierywasabi231]

Hmm, I've got too many ideas on what kind of god I want to play, a metal god, a force god, a magic god, a spell god, a temperance god, a ranger god, and a war god. But I have to sleep so I'll decide tomorrow and post it.
Glad to see LoC 3.5 is still alive and kicking though. Too bad I didn't notice it until now.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

If you didn't spend your AP gain from thursday and were evolved then that would be 2+4. Meaning you get 6.

Last time:

You gain your -full AP- on monday. Half of your -full AP- on thursday. ALL THAT 7 PM

No, it would be 4, because I didn't spend my Thursday AP for of them, and I was evolved both times, I spent this Mondays AP... or am I tacking on an extra Thursday?

[Innis Cabal]

I tried. Alch sent me a PM today as well. A "hope everyone is doing well" and he might join when he gets time.

And does everyone get roll over?

Curse you Draken and your Second Wind idea.

Edit: And I see, yes 4 AP then.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Excellent... say, Vadin, what's say we make Yugoloths? :smallbiggrin:

Edit: And when we're posting the divine actions to gain a DR, do we have to post all of them from in between the last time we raised DR and this time, or just enough of them to count?

[Innis Cabal]

Just post them to count.

And Yen would very much like in on the Loth's! >.> <.<

[Lord_Asmodeus]

I'll just post the most recent 5. Once we raise DR we start over again right?

Also, isn't it just 2AP to make a race? Maybe we could spend extra AP on them to make like... Demons and Devils as subraces of the Yugoloths?

[Innis Cabal]

Sure. I mean...merc evil creatures that sell their abilities to everyone...sounds very much like Yen....

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Pure evil creatures that aspire to overthrow all those above them and rule, but are willing to work with others to get there? Sounds very much like Lerios...

Edit: Maybe, we should make Demons, Devils, and Yugoloths as the servants of the Sky Lords, and reside in the High Realms. Yugoloths serve Yen, Devils Lerios, and Demons Luumu...

[Innis Cabal]

That would be the Devils ya?

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Yea...

Maybe, we should make Demons, Devils, and Yugoloths as the servants of the Sky Lords, and reside in the High Realms. Yugoloths serve Yen, Devils Lerios, and Demons Luumu...

[Innis Cabal]

We lack a chaotic element in the Sky Lords really. Though if its ok with Vadin then that idea more then suits me.

I'll be reflavoring the Loths and restructuring them though.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

We lack a chaotic element in the Sky Lords really. Though if its ok with Vadin then that idea more then suits me.

I'll be reflavoring the Loths and restructuring them though.

Yea... Well Luumu is somewhat Chaotic, just like Lerios is somewhat Lawful (but both of them are still Neutral Evil, because they're predominantly evil, and don't care as much about chaos or law) since Luumu is more about directness, strength, and brutal brazen power, he seems like a Demon candidate to me...

Edit: Though obviously they exhibit traits of both law and chaos.

Edit2: Why do I feel like Luumu and Lerios just had a DBZ moment IC?

[Innis Cabal]

Because your a dispicable human being.

And the Skylords do seem rather well balanced as far as the gods in it. Yen is really only evil because he dosn't ultimatly care how he gets his jollies. He'd be CN otherwise probably.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

No but they totally did! Luumu was all "glowy glowy power increase" then Lerios responded with "Glowly Glowy power increase"! It's DBZ I tellz ya!

Also, yea, they are pretty evenly matched. I think the whole "upper-fiends" thing to be a unique idea.

[Reath]

Are their power levels...


OVER NINE THOUSAND?!?!?!?!?!

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Awww, we aren't hurting anybody, incidentally:

Lerios and Luumu:

My wrath....is passed down by the RIGHT HAND OF GOD!

:smallfurious:

You have to admit my picture was fairly accurate in its comparison :smallwink:

[Heliomance]

Am I allowed to evolve once withot raising my divine rank? I'd quite like that extra AP, bu I don't want to stop having access to the Material plane.

[Suberman]

Am I allowed to evolve once withot raising my divine rank? I'd quite like that extra AP, bu I don't want to stop having access to the Material plane.

It turns out that Evolving physically is required for Raising your DR, but you don't actually have to do the second part, since they are actually two separate actions. Evolve Phys. is independent of DR Up. So, yes, you should be able to evolve phys. w/o raising DR.

[Innis Cabal]

Am I allowed to evolve once withot raising my divine rank? I'd quite like that extra AP, bu I don't want to stop having access to the Material plane.

You can yes.

[Vadin]

I am pro-demons for Luumu as long as I can then make angels (yes, angels) as well.

The sun god giveth and the sun god taketh away.

You want to make a contract with Luumu? Sure, yeah, here's an angel to bring you his power! Maybe this angel will help you out of a tight jam. Maybe the angel will help you achieve something really impressive, like overthrow the local warlord and take his place or slay that dragon or give you that vital piece of information about the location of the ancient magical sword. Maybe, just maybe, you might even become an angel! OooOOOooh! Very lawful good.

But then you have to pay the price, and the demons are there to collect. And if you don't give what you offered the first time, you don't get a second chance. They'll go totally crazy and wild and rip your body to absolute shreds and drag your soul kicking and screaming back to Luumu so he can add your knowledge and power to the collective pool of souls that powers the world's incarnum. Very, very, very chaotic evil.

"Of course, brave knight! The great and glorious sun would love to grant you the power to slay the wicked dragon in yon bog! There is a cost, however: you must give the sun lord half of the dragon's treasure and your first born son. I will take the treasure after you conquer your mighty foe and another servant of the oft maligned Luumu will arrive to take the second half of the bargain after his birth. Know ye this and accept the terms?"

"Umm...yes?"

*Knight kills dragon*

"I'll be taking this now. Fare the well, good sir!"

*Angel flies off with half of the dragon's hoard*

*Years pass...the knight's first son is born...a few more years pass*

"Well, I guess Luumu isn't such a bad guy after all. Clearly, if he's let my son live to be five he musn't really want to take him."

*Demon appears*

"Your son! Give him to me!"

"Nay, foul beast! DIE!"

*Knight gets totally owned by a demon, who then proceeds to take the son to a temple dedicated to Luumu where he grows up to be a powerful necromancer*


YES. I totally love it. Angels offer excellent deals to all types of people for a small immediate cost and a great but misunderstood and future cost. If the second cost isn't paid RIGHT WHEN THE DEMON ASKS FOR IT, the person gets slain by the demon.

Thoughts?

[Innis Cabal]

-awsome stuff-
Thoughts?

I love it.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

I'm going to make a Hell a literal underworld, by situating the Baatezu beneath the Emerald Crown (in the huge land below the actual islands) from where they will cast their influence, eventually, I'm going to make it a plane in the center of the world from where they reign.

[Evil DM Mark3]

Is it just me or does the term "grimdark" not quite cover the level of dark and evil this world is accumulating?

[Innis Cabal]

I think the world will be in good shape. Its a good thing that the Sky Lords arn't all CE.

They are at least(well...Yen is at the very least) caring of the things they themselves made. And for the most part, there are gods that the Sky Lords respect.

Its a small and varied list but it still is more then enough to make things safe

[Lord_Asmodeus]

It's not really that bad. There are as many good/neutral gods as evil, it's just the evil gods are... well doing what evil gods DO, domineering, plotting, planning, and generally just working to make themselves more powerful by any means necessary, Lerios is sort of like Yen, in that he doesn't have to be a bad guy, he's just willing to take any means to power. On the otherhand, he can be a real... well, evil bastard, he'll stab you in the back if he believes, honestly, it will get him power, and he doesn't really care about the world... Besides, there needs to be a few settings where Evil outweighs good. What's generally the case in D&D is that evil, while seemingly equal with good and neutral, get the short end of the stick since it's much less willing to work together, such that most nations are either neutral with good and lawful tendencies, outright Lawful Good, with actual evil nations being rare, and powerful ones even rarer.

Edit: Innis, what do you think of my "Hell as literal underworld" idea?

[Vadin]

Is it just me or does the term "grimdark" not quite cover the level of dark and evil this world is accumulating?

That's what happens when the good gods aren't as agressive as the evil gods.

ALSO! Suberman: A warning- no steamtech until at least year two. The world is only a few generations old. The general levels shouldn't be much higher than early Egyptian at MOST, and that's only if the culture is one that focuses almost ENTIRELY on advancing general knowledge and technology. Remember, it took us humans several thousand years to figure out bronze after we figured out how to kinda sorta work iron.

Could we get a recap from somebody of all the concepts that have been created and all the guide populaces that have been used so far?

[Innis Cabal]

Agree more or less with the above. Though Evil is in fact outweighed in this world.

Again, there are roughly 8 seperate factions in this whole thing currently, the number might have increased as well.

As for Yen, he does have good tendancies unlike The Brothers. He just likes to have fun and be amused and to make his position in the world stronger. If that meant getting a paladin in his flock he'd allow it. If that meant saving a flock not his own, he'd do it, so long as he stood to gain more then what he thew in.

I don't doubt for a second if it stood to profit any of the three of them that they wouldn't sell each other out. I mean, their evil.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Well now I have a clash of ideas. I could have a "literal underworld" and eventually put the Baatezu in the Core of the World... or I could go with "Death from Above" which is more unique and would fit the whole Sky Lords theme (and we could all have upper realms filled with evil outsiders)

[Innis Cabal]

As I said, i'll be reflavoring the Loths to fit the theme and feel of Yen, and will probably will base them out of the Midnight Carnival.

The Midnight Carnival is supposed to be(At the moment) a blend of the elemental plane of Air(wide open spaces and all that), the plane of storms and weather(it rains/storms/is windy) and trade, more or less a catch all plane. Its also the afterlife for the Shikigami and Yen's worshipers.

The Sky Lords(this is just a pending Idea) could make the "Plane of Evil" as it were, and have it layered for the three evil exemplars if you wanna pool in AP, 1 from each

[Fierywasabi231]

Atheos, The Ultimate Ideal, The End of the Storm, The Divine Armory
Played By Fierywasabi231
(DR:6) Fighter 32
Symbol: A trailing hand with a grafted, clawed gauntlet crumbling off the skin, revealing a sword tattooed on the palm and a bare wrist.
Home: None
Alignment: True Neutral
Domains: War, Indifference
Portfolio: Peace
Favored Weapon: Long Sword

Brief Description: Atheos is not your typical war god, he possesses a calm and apparently passionless demeanor and begins few fights of his own. He is the perfect warrior, calm, powerful, calculating, graceful, and ultimately insurmountable. He fights and guides war not for love of combat nor for primal bloodlust, in fact he detests such things, he fights for the peace, the inevitable end of the storm. In his eyes battle prowess can only be gained through discipline and effort; true strength is born from striving for an ideal not from bloodlust or simple love for battle. Atheos' chosen symbol represents his highest ideal: At first the sword is one with the true warrior, even a blade of grass can be a lethal weapon. In the nest stage, the sword resides not in one's hand but in one's heart, even bare handed a true warrior can slay a hundred fierce warriors. But the ultimate ideal is when the sword disappears altogether, the true warrior embraces all around him and peace fills his body and soul. He ultimately wishes for the end of conflict, to relinquish the burden that fate has appointed him and achieve his ultimate ideal. Ironically, Atheos realizes that conflict and thus war is a mortal inevitability and so is his existence, a solemn inevitability. Still he strives, perfecting the art and execution of war and pursuing his ultimate ideal.
Although Atheos is neutral, he cares not for sides for law and good beckon for conflict equally to chaos and evil, however mostly good or lawful mortals choose to worship Atheos. Few with evil demeanors can adhere to Atheos' principles and ideals and fewer chaotics can satisfy their nature with peace.


Unfortunately I'm not aware of what gods are present in this playground so I'm not sure who can beget Atheos.
I've always wanted to play a war god that was not a bloodthirsty berserker, one that strived for peace and an ironic end to their dominion.
Atheos has heavy influences from the Broken Sword character from the Jet Li’s Hero(A beautiful movie if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. Great Kung Fu with powerful philosophical themes that manage to not be overwhelming)

[Lord_Asmodeus]

He looks good. IMO, except I believe someone already called War...

So far for gods we have
Yen, Neutral Evil god of Air (Innis's god)

Rendirllyn, the Chaotic Neutral god of Nature (played by Heliomancer)

Luumu, and Lerios, eye-based Neutral Evil gods of the Sun and Moon respectively, also brothers (Vadin and my god, also respectively)

Lyarin, the Lawful Good god of Entropy (played by Aergoth)

Oceano, the True Neutral god of Oceans/Water (played by Draken)

Ishtar, the Lawful Good god of Fire (and dragons to a lesser extent) (played by Vegetalss4)

Ataraxis, Lawful Neutral god of Creation (played by Suberman)

Herrak, Lawful Evil god of Gluttony (played by Mike the Mystic)

There are more, that's just off the top of my head.

[Innis Cabal]

Whew....site's been hairy all day huh?

Vadin, didn't you say Dabull wanted War? Thouth Atheos looks awsome.

And Yen is the god of Air and -Trade- thats important :smallwink:

[Reath]

Uh, hmm.

Dayo could beget Atheios, actually! Since was is kind of a torrent of emtion and battle- and I've been thinking about having Dayo be sort of a battle-oriented god-

Well, maybe he could forge a sword so powerful that the very divine essence of Atheios forms around it to claim it?

[Innis Cabal]

Dabull did post his god here. And....reviewing both. Fire's just seems to fit better in the world, and already has some who would beget him. And a vote from L.A

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Having reviewed DaBulls god I must admit Atheos fits better. Though the name sort of seems odd... :smalltongue:

Also, Innis I was being serious about that Great White Skywhale thing...

[Innis Cabal]

And I was being serious when I said that the true enemy to our world will be Melville. :smallbiggrin:

[Reath]

Quick!

Someone Make A Patron God Of Whales!

[Innis Cabal]

Wouldn't that be the god of animals?

[Reath]

Hmm.


... works for me.

[Aergoth]

Lyarin, the Lawful Good god of Entropy (played by Aergoth)

And slowly going crazy.

[Suberman]

That's what happens when the good gods aren't as agressive as the evil gods.

ALSO! Suberman: A warning- no steamtech until at least year two. The world is only a few generations old. The general levels shouldn't be much higher than early Egyptian at MOST, and that's only if the culture is one that focuses almost ENTIRELY on advancing general knowledge and technology.

Could we get a recap from somebody of all the concepts that have been created and all the guide populaces that have been used so far?

Quite fair! Please excuse me. I'll slow their roll a bit, as it were.

[Fierywasabi231]

Thanks for the comments! I could name him Demos instead of Atheos although I do enjoy the irony in his name...
Plus it actually reflects somewhat upon his beliefs because he believes that strength comes from striving for an ideal and i his eyes gods are just a manifestation of such ideals, or simply another ideal.

Hmm, I don't want to displace Dabull's god...
I haven't seen his entry but maybe Dabull could re-flavor his god to fit wrath, strength, or something similar to it. I was actually hoping someone would make another warrior god that opposed Atheos' ideal of peace, not that I've seen Dabull's entry, I don't really know where it is...

Also how are we handling divine combat in this iteration of LoC? Because I might want to edit Atheos' classes accordingly.

Pie

[Innis Cabal]

I'm working on the system Alch sent me. Its a pain as he only had it "half done"

As for displacing Dabulls god, it was a pretty...ho hum god of war (No offense Dabull). A god of Violence and such. Its here in the ooc thread, i'll look for it.

[Fierywasabi231]

You guys are on what? The third week perhaps? Honestly your mortals shouldn't even have metal at this point, they are far too premature. They shouldn't even reach Egyptian level, at least the middle kingdom, until about half way through the first year. If it continues at that rate and steam tech comes about before the end of the second year, you'll be faced with either a sci-fi setting at the end of the third year or an abrupt end to advancing technology about four or so weeks after steam is introduced.
Just my opinions, I'm not a mod or anything but that's my observations from the previous iteration of LoC. We had airships and advanced steam tech half way through the time line and pretty much reached the predetermined cap for tech way too early.

[Aergoth]

My shadowkin are fine, but yeah, I've thought it's getting a little out of hand. I know Jirryn is the god of technology, but at this point this does mean we are living in huts.

[Innis Cabal]

1. Suberman already said he'd slow down.
2. This is a fantasy setting where Gods aid their followers. Not saying its a cover all for this sort of thing. Just a statement.
3. Why shouldn't mortals have metal at this point? We've already stated its after Bronze Age, concepts such as trade and buildings exist.
4. We're cloaw to where LoC 1 was at around the same time.
5. We have advanced concepts of government and social interaction. The evolution of society has already been set as a precident, things are hardly at a tribal state in this world.
6. There are cities. Not tents and such, not sprawling metropoli but buildings all the same. Nourish Pops are a great thing.
7. The world's very set up is nothing like our own. Again...Gods make things harder to stick down.


What i'm trying to say I guess is....its a fantasy setting where gods freely meddle in things to the point of divine miracles being rather common still. There has been no definiate passage of time, it could have been 200 years since start to 2000. Time is a strange thing in godly games.

Who is Jirryn?

[Vadin]

The god of innovation in LoCCoA, played by Fiery.

And yes, DaBull had wanted War, but I'm fairly certain that Wrath or Strength could work for what he has planned just as well...
Oh, what's he got planned, you ask? You'll see. You'll ALL see! MUAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHA!

[Innis Cabal]

Ah.

And so long as both parties are alright with it then

[Aergoth]

Two LoC games. Hard to keep track of everything it is.

[Fierywasabi231]

Innovation and technology.
I understand all of that, I was just making a statement based on my observations from the previous LoC games, if you let the world advance too quickly(which has already kinda begun) you reach the technology cap(steam punk I assume) before even the end of the second year, limiting what you can really do on forth technology wise.

Also, is Atheos accepted or do I need to begin collecting votes / post in the recruitment thread. And because he will start with 1.5x 3AP, is that 5 or 4 AP?

[Innis Cabal]

Tech levels nothing to worry about really. Thats why we've got mods :smallwink:

You'll start with 3 AP. All starting gods start with base AP for Monday, as the monday after they are voted in(Or if they are voted in -on- monday) is the first time they gain AP.

I don't(and never liked) the idea of saying YOUR IN! now wait a week to even post. Rping and the like is fine if your up for it. AP starts as above.

You have my vote and L.A's I am guessing. You need one more.

[Vadin]

It seems I didn't vote for him yet. And why is that, you ask?

...because I forgot to in my last post. Have a vote, Chinglander!

[Innis Cabal]

Alrighty. Your in then I guess. AP as stated starts monday as its after 7:00.

Oh yes. Second wind, poor poor server. Please don't die on us.

Party will also be getting underway so as not to steal the gods time. TIME FOR THE MAS CORRIDA!

[Fierywasabi231]

Awesome, thanks guys. Also didn't someone say something about Dayo begeting Atheos?
Also who are the mods? I can assume that Innis, LA, and Vadin are but are there any others?

[Innis Cabal]

I beleive Reath did.

[Vossik]

Also who are the mods? I can assume that Innis, LA, and Vadin are but are there any others?

I am interested in this as well.

[Innis Cabal]

And Draken.

[Aergoth]

Lyarin just leveled up. Soon, epic wins.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Oh monkeyballs, no one is on >.<!

[Evil DM Mark3]

So when is this competition going to happen?

[Innis Cabal]

Shortly. Just working out the kinks

[Heliomance]

Hey, I finally finished putting everything on the map Zeta Kai gave us! My edits are kinda... horrid, but I hope you can still understand it.

http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp44/reathteer4/InnisCabal-11.jpg

Yes, the path of Daryl is horrid at the moment, but I'll redo it at some later point.

Um, heh. Just realised, that means north on that map poins down. I've made several references to the Forest stretching to the frozen North :smallredface:

[Lord_Asmodeus]

At some point, I was considering begetting a god, now the whole point of this god would be that noone would know he's a god, can gods just tell when others are gods, or could I get away with it if he just seemed like a powerful mortal?

[Innis Cabal]

Like a god under your control?

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Like a god under your control?

Yea, you know like a god you make and play...

[Innis Cabal]

You can't. One god per player at the moment.

[Aergoth]

So we will eventually be able to play as more than one god? Could we even create a backup god in case we die.

[Evil DM Mark3]

I know it is not the most sterling RPing, but what do you expect when all my creations are FREAKING CATS!

I wrote it fable style to allow any inconsistencies to be smoothed out as retelling embellishments.

[Aergoth]

You should have more AP now. Remember, you can be places, more than one place at the same time.

[Evil DM Mark3]

I have 1 AP. I am saving it to Teach a populous that I intend to make on Monday, in any case both of me are at the party, one as me and one as my champion.

Just a note of clarification, there is only one god, one mind, one person. He simply has two bodies and uses two names interchangeably. There is no Termar and no Ramter as individuals, the names do not apply to specific bodies.

[Draken]

You can't. One god per player at the moment.

The idea is cutting off the mana batery god thing. I guess Asmodeus could make a god by the beget rules. But no matter how much DR the guy had. He would gain 0 weekly AP. And not be evolveable.

And then, with this, we get to the rule that limits secondary deities. With no AP gain, the rule becomes kinda pointless, since you will really only use the deities for RP purposes, because making a god is expensive.

[Fierywasabi231]

@ EvilDm: Did you spend AP to have two separate bodies? Because that's essentially what the point of having an avatar is, to have a separate body that can be in a different place at the same time, which of course costs AP, unless the ruling has changed since the last iteration of LoC.

[Aergoth]

Nope. Lyarin created him with two bodies, it was approved by ze mods before he did, so I think he's cool to do it.

[Evil DM Mark3]

In any case I will only start to actaully go other places from myself when I have spent AP to do so (evolving physicaly).

The point of an avatar is infact mostly to let DvR 6+ deities stride the earth.

[Fierywasabi231]

Well, yes an avatar does allow a lesser+ god to traverse the material plane but that's not it's sole purpose. It also acts as a second body that is consistently the parent god's DR-1, as long as it's not on the material plane. So a god in hiding could use their avatar to meet with other gods without risking being attacked or to continue influencing the world if they are imprisoned somehow.
Still, if the mods approved it than that's fine, I was just making sure.

[Evil DM Mark3]

Well the way I am looking at it is that two bodies is fluff, I may RP off it but no real benefits until I can spend the same AP as everyone else.

[Fierywasabi231]

That's cool, I was just making sure it was okay with the mods.

[Innis Cabal]

You should have more AP now. Remember, you can be places, more than one place at the same time.

People can retire their god if they wish to play another. You have to go through the same process of creating a deity as when you started.

[Aergoth]

I meant the fact that he had two bodies and it was roll-over yesterday. Dude should be able to make something now. Other than cats.

[Innis Cabal]

Forgot to answer this.

Yes it was approved. Its like the Valk's.

AVatar's simply allow for gods to go to the mortal plane and such. A god can always create a mirror image or things such as that. But thats all it is

[Sicarius]

Question: If we get 3 AP/week, on Thursdays do we round up or down?

[Innis Cabal]

Down. 1 AP for 3, 2 for 4 and so on and so forth.

[Evil DM Mark3]

Either way I only have the 1 AP ATM.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

I have 3AP (2 from the Rollover, 1 left over) so whenever you guys want to make the Demons, Yugoloth and Devils.

[Innis Cabal]

I have 1 AP. Ill make em monday when I do a few other things.

I'll post the rules for the Mas Corrida tommorow.

[Heliomance]

Why round at all? What's wrong with gaining 1.5 AP at second wind? You can't use the .5 for anything, but the next week you'll get another 1.5, making 3 overall.

[Innis Cabal]

Its cleaner. Also, after Lesser god, you'll have an even number more often then not.

Edit: Also, nothing else works on fractions.

[Aergoth]

Nothing else is numbered. Except the rounds.

[Innis Cabal]

AP spending, and the old combat system. Albiet, that was broken as all get out.

Also unlocking planes and how many actions it takes to raise DR.

[Draken]

I got 10 AP.

I am seriously out of ideas right now.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

I got 10 AP.

I am seriously out of ideas right now.

You're the god of the ocean right? Well the world is sorely lacking underwater... anything. At all.

[Innis Cabal]

I thought you were going to make your own plane?

[Draken]

No plane yet. But yea, I am going to populate the oceans a bit more. There's a lot of fish in the sea, but no crustaceans, no aquatic mammals, no hydras...

And what is the world without TDC*?

*Those Damn Crabs.

[Innis Cabal]

One that hasn't had the chance to be optomized.

Also, no damn Far Realm

[Lord_Asmodeus]

One that hasn't had the chance to be optomized.

Also, no damn Far Realm

As in you don't want us to have one?

[Innis Cabal]

As in I don't see a reason to need one. Nor is there one currently.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

True. We could just go with the "Stars are malevolent beings, unknowable to mortal, and even god, alike" deal.

[Vadin]

Draken- Creat an infinite plane of water, then use create portal: ocean floor.

You know you want to. You know you want the god of the seas to be able to literally eat things that fall in his realm.

Or go for another all out assault on some uppity mortals (those elephant guys (encephalons, I don't care what they really look like, they're elephants) and their land bridge...they know what they did!).

[Draken]

I am going to curse you all with giant crabs of TPK vileness . How worst can it get?

But yea. Bottonless ocean-plane, hmm... That's an idea.

Edit: 2 AP left now.

Wouldn't that first one drown the world, since you're connecting an infinite source of water to a finite source of water? Or would the pressure keep it all where it is?

[Reath]

Flood the world works. <.< >.>

Only the Daryllians and those underwater folk will survive! MUAHAHAHAHA!

[Innis Cabal]

Its rents that are the portals as it would appear. So...no.

Water would also be going through the portal at the same time. So it could have the reverse effect.

[Draken]

So in the end, the pressure evens out.

Also, just went and looked Vossik's entry. Yea, I can vote for him. I guess this is his third then.

[Innis Cabal]

Alright Vossik your in. You can RP now you get AP on monday.

Also, in regards to HoundDog, been speaking to him in PM's just waiting for a reply from him and we can get the compitition underway

[Vossik]

Awesome, ty. I will go over the rules again and read as much of the thread as I can.

[Innis Cabal]

If its not to much of a problem, try to find a god to beget you as well.

[Vossik]

I could ask Suberman or Aergoth I guess? I'll send them each a pm.

[Sicarius]

Aw, I wanted to beget the time god as well as my polar opposite. Between the two of us, we're velocity!

[vegetalss4]

True. We could just go with the "Stars are malevolent beings, unknowable to mortal, and even god, alike" deal.

no they are not. they are holes in the nigth sky that leads to The Divine Flame, that Ishtar made:smallwink:

[HoundDog]

Also, in regards to HoundDog, been speaking to him in PM's just waiting for a reply from him and we can get the compitition underway

I'm ready when you are! Adding my reply now...

[Evil DM Mark3]

I don't suppose an explanation of how this is going to work is available is it?

[Aergoth]

Wouldn't that first one drown the world, since you're connecting an infinite source of water to a finite source of water? Or would the pressure keep it all where it is?

Pressure would keep it where it is, or the levels anyways. Air pressure would probably help a little, but the only problem in this whole: "it'll mix" deal, is that physically, you can't have stuff occupying the same space. If it's an infinite plane of water, you don't have anything to exchange really, because any water that moves out will just be filled by the infinite water of the plane. Does that make any sense to anyone?

[Evil DM Mark3]

Repeat after me these mantra's three:
"It's just a game,
I should really just relax."I shall not bring physics into fantasy settings for god will kill catgirls.A. God. Did. It.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Repeat MY three mantras

"If I'm not yelling, I'm probably not angry. I don't have to relax"
"There's nothing wrong with physics. Magic trumps physics, doesn't mean there isn't physics"
"That. Doesn't. Mean. It. Will. Work. As. Intended."

[Aergoth]

MST3K Mantra= Sanity.
And you know, it's almost some kind of compulsion.
The second mantra should be: Complex Physics. We need the simple kind for stuff like gravity and mass, and basic necessary things like that.

If you're arguing, you're at least somewhat angry. Don't deny it.

No it doesn't, and I'm not arguing. I was curious as to the repercussions. That doesn't mean I'm arguing or angry. I can wonder if opening a portal to the infinite plane of water will flood the world without being pissed off.

[Evil DM Mark3]

"That. Doesn't. Mean. It. Will. Work. As. Intended."Yes. It. Does.Unless of course you are going out of your way to make it work another way.

There is an infinite body of water joined to a finite body of water. Deal. If you need a science explanation here is my best sudo-physics DM make-the-player-stop-whining type answer.

The infinite water is occupying infinite space. As such the pressure on the finite water is negligible as the infinite water is not under any sort of pressure or restraint. Nor is it possible for the finite water to enter the infinite water as the infinite water is filling all the space and pressure would need to be applied to compress the infinite water. As there is infinite water that would entail infinite pressure.

They physics is probably wrong but it patches the holes well enough.

[Aergoth]

I think we've sorted this out then yes?

[Vadin]

Guys...its magic. If magic can turn a person into a red dragon, I think stopping all the water from going one way or the other isn't too big a hassle.

[Innis Cabal]

Ya. The above ^

[Vossik]

I was considering heading to the Midnight Carnival however I don't have a champion to bring to the table. There is so much to do and so little that can be done right now. XD

[Aergoth]

Right I forgot to add that "beget god" thing to my post. But yeah! Vossik's Faalisk is now created and currently chilling in the god-forge where I left him.

Vossik, build one. It's a divine action to make an entire race, but perhaps you could scoop up an animal or something. If you ask very nicely, you might be able to borrow a shadowkin. Lyarin brought a giant cat for goodness sakes.

[Vossik]

I have all the time in the world to decide what I do before I act. :P
