Dang. That was metal. Sorry to hear what happened, @gracnieumierac. Seems like the strongest of the gulls have died, but there's still some champions around, I believe. Congratulations to Txcvm and his Sharks.

I actually rolled some dice to determine the result. It was 87 vs 9. It was surprising how it ended up so long.

And it's interesting how the Act of EDM was described. We now get that ___'s are without a doubt, reflections of us, our actions, and our personalities (or at least our intentions and goals) as far as the innate setting goes, and conflicting Acts.

___ is supposed to be like the Makers, Primordials, and Titans. They're supposed to be you and not of this world, and I couldn't find a good word to describe that. I'm not expanding the lore until later.
 
@ShieldCrown ,@Redikai ,@Zakelga could i get you guys support in turn of me supporting you?

Also for fellow titans who wish to at least have your species survival in case of hostile species hunting them down, or a apocolypse you can support me.(Think of it as a real-estate ensurance)

Strange inhospitable environments, disturbing creatures, powerful animals/monsters, a terrifying night cycle, ooze that corrupts all it touches. We kind of created a Death Island huh? Even has a, heh, dragons hoard of gems to attract people despite the danger.

All we need is a sleeping underwater menace, a being of epic proportions that would destroy anything that came near its territor—wait…I was thinking of a kraken, but that just sounds like the dragon. Well, either way, his island is one to remember. A much more volatile place than our last one.

Interesting that you do background rolls for some things. The only other time I've ever seen or heard of dice being used in this quest format was when Mannan rolled for the Time of Tribulations, right before he quit. I'll hold you to your word on the lore.

Does anyone want to trade? I saved two slots left, since I predict Small necessary at the least for my Act.

Aid the Sharks, Duck Father, and we shall have an accord.

Authored Act

[X]Create Raging Lava Crabs
Magma crabs who decide to fight back against their predators are given the ability to absorb lava directly and use the lava's power with their rage against the suffering they have endured ,which increases their toughness of their shells, provides more strength and gives them the ability to attack with fire however this ability comes with a curse, those who choose this path will have to be constantly search for its next battle otherwise the rage will cool off turning the Raging Magma Crab into a solid igneous rock statue as the lava in it cools down.

[X] Creeping Greens

The steepest slopes and cliffs now grow greens of various shapes and sizes. It can be long thin vines, flowering ivy, patterned lichens, shaggy beards of mosses and much more. But mostly they grow precisely on the slopes and sheer walls of rocks, sometimes touching the ocean. It is rare to see them fashionably covering the flat tops of columns or other such places. Almost all of them are edible to some extent, using moist fog, rare rains or sea water for living. Some of them are not green at all, but dark and slightly brown to grow in dark places or can emit a dim glow in the night. Some of the flora are slightly poisonous or dotted with thorns.

I wanted to record a demo of a video game I'm working on (that hasn't been touched for some time), but I encountered a really big bug and stopped recording. I spent half of the afternoon debugging it, and it apparently was just a single boolean, so the function thought the action was a failure and didn't follow through to PostActionFuncs(). Now I have to look through almost 20 similar functions to make sure the same bug isn't occurring there. I'm not looking forward to it.

Anyway, to ratings and replies!

I rolled dice because I didn't know what direction should the fight go. When the fate of the battle was sealed, it became easier to write.

[X] The Memory of time
During the growth of the Great tree, many different species fought over its leafs, barks, and branches. All of them absorved for nutrients except the Brains. The special thing about brain is that it has unique feature that gives mind to something. And those special things prevented the Great tree from absorving brains, causing them to cluster together and form one great brain.

But this is not just a simple meaty brain. It is a brain that is intertwined with the roots, plant matter, and body of the Tree itself.
It is something that will grow in intelligence as more bodies get absorved the smarter the being before being absorved, the greater boost in intelligence it will provide.

But it is limited in what it can do. As only by the ______ grace of the ___'s could it even exist.
It has three great missions bestowed upon it. Each one more important than the other.

1) To record all knowledge that it gets and discovers, all things it has seen, the history, the people everything must be remembered, and recorded in whatever and most efficient way it can. (prioritize the important events)
2) To protect and ensure the continued survival and mission of Great Tree by anyways necessary
3) Ensure that no species ever truly goes extinct and preserve frozen yet living bodies inside cold region in the big tree

[X] Net Ray

A fish with a long flat black body a net ray has a single golden eye on the top or bottom of its body its long tail and fins trailing out behind it as it swims. Their mouth is a network of flesh forming a small mesh they can spit out and drag before sucking back in. They feed off detritus and decaying things moving slowly through the seas in small groupings. Net Ray's won't eat large living things and if not hunted by them will clean dead scales and parasites from the bodies of other fish, sharks, or even crabs.

Net Rays will carry their young from egg to adult on their backs as they swim stirring up material for their children to eat. Overall net rays are passive helpful creatures. Their only defense being a mild toxin in their body.

Small Act. Fun Fact: I heard that rays have a venomous tail.

[X] Lava Fields
The volcano goes into overdrive and spews out lava that floods into the deepest of depths. These molten streams flow in all directions, creating pools, lakes, and rivers of lava scattered all across the ocean floor.

[X] Mega Frogs
The surface and shallows become home to colonies of giant frogs, with a serious taste for seagull and long sticky tounges to catch them with. They are amphibious, and have a defense in the form of poisonous skin that can sicken or kill sharks or fish that try to eat them, though it could potentially be cooked out and rendered safe to eat with fire.

[X] Egg and Energy

The Egg and its charge continue their path of gestation, growing in strength. Little by little, it comes ever closer to the power necessary for the ____, patron of Ducks, to hatch it. But for now, it adds another step to the process to further its growth.

Every drop of water drained begins to break apart into its base atoms, releasing chemical energy within the Egg, and then reforms and harden, trapping the energy inside the Egg. The energy then proceeds to swirl round and round, until it forms a solid core of energy dead-center in the Egg.

That is... The Egg already does that. It's like you're making a duck with a heart of plutonium. I'm interpreting this as "The Egg intensifies what it's already doing."

[X] Create the Giant Inchlings

There's a lot of cultures popping up in these isles, even if the cultures cannot recognize each other.

[X] Enhance the Shark Monument.

In the maw of the Shark Monument, a trident shall appear that represents a new power granted to it. The Shark Monument my offer a choice to all the Sharks it can communicate with: Remain as Beasts of the Deep, or obtain the power to live upon Land and in the Sea. Should a Shark choose the latter, the Monument shall grant them a human form with the tail of a shark that can exist in both the sea and live on land. This form is just as strong as their original form, just spread out and refined for a humanoid form.

These Sharks shall receive a Trident of their own, which contains the essence of their original bestial form and can be summoned and dismissed at will. Should a transformed Shark require greater strength, they may impale themselves with their own Trident and transform into a more fierce hybrid form that massively amplifies their physical prowess. This is temporary, lasting about 1 ho

I relate to this way too much. Had a similar thing happen in my level and wasted an hour redoing my code to "fix" it when the solution was just to change a couple variables.

It really is interesting to see these societies develop alongside each other without fully realizing it.

Just like the sudden emergence of the gulls from blood and salt, so did something else emerge from their tiny terrible minds. A desire to cuss out every creature they came upon and this desire to be just a bunch of pricks became a tangible thing. As the gulls gained the power of speech in the minds of any creature they met with an uncanny ability to insult them were it hurt the most.

No one ever expects the bird with radioactive powers. That's why it's such a reliable technique. Interpret it how you like—as long as the Egg is getting stronger, I don't mind.

He's probably just editing the post for the description, and either sent it to early or just needed some time to write but still wanted to get his vote out there. Or, his vote just says it all. Shaping a marble as a cavern.

Also, Mangoflan, does mine scale with Grade? I might change it so that it's not just drain more, but if it does, then that'd be pretty useful for stockpiling power.

Yes. It scales. The Egg, correct? *Quickly scribbles notes.* There shouldn't be a huge problem.

I have plans to tweaking the grading system. The bottom tier is a bit weak and the upper tier might become more interesting pushed up, but I'm thinking of considering it at the end of the Era. I'll see what happens when there's more perks.
