With barely a thought you bring yourself over the child and pluck them from the water just as the sea beast tries to bite into them.
After bringing them over to the beach the child's parents check over them with almost excessive detail and with great care before the turn to you.
"You saved our boy, thank you, thank you for your mercy!" the mother says as she tearfully looks to your floating essence.
"We praise you!" the man declared as he got onto his knees and bowed before you...
It felt...right...to do this action, though you could have unleashed your wrath upon the creatures of the sea, you did not...
It felt...Good.
*Gain 1 Karma point*
Barely had this happened before two entities appeared in front of you, smaller then the mortals before you yet each seemed to radiate a aspect.
"Greetings Leader, I must say it was a good thing to save the child, who knows how long they would have lasted in the water?" the small bearded mortal look alike that sat upon a white cloud said as he stroked a rather remarkable beard.
"Awww to heck with that! We could have let loose some Carnage boss!" declared a foul looking red skinned, bloated, horned being...
"As you are wondering we are your conscious boss!" The red being declared-
"Good..."
"And evil!"
"Ying and Yang..."
"Black and white!"
"As part of you boss were here to guide you through this world, giving advice and all that!"
As the spirits finished their speech (which sounded rehearsed for some reason), you turned your attention to your followers.
Seeing your attention they got up from their worshipful stance and smiled with eager looks on their faces.
"Our people will want to worship you Great one! Please follow us to the village!" the male declared with joy as he moved his family along the pathway behind them. Following after them you find a large rock after a half hours journey through the pass, noting its strange appearance to akin of a beast. During this time you noted that the village they had spoken of was in a large valley like place, with a beach to the south of the village. In the center a hastily constructed village with a few quaint homes and what appeared to be the town center of public worship-
With a rather large crowd of people talking excitedly until they spot not only you but also the villagers you followed.
Out of the crowd a single elder (being the oldest of the village you have seen so far) stepped from the crowd and turned to the people "Praise be! the legends have come true! now we may finish the temple, let us gather the remaining resources to finish its grand design!" with this said he and the rest of the most able villagers rushed to the storehouse to start gathering the wood needed with great relish as they headed out in bands of 3 or 4 with large stacks of wood being carried.
Looking past the villagers moving about you notice the half constructed building, perhaps its this temple they spoke of?
With some caution born of the importance of the matter you follow them to the building where they begin to finish its construction.
You note that as mortals they can only carry so much, and as of now it would take them time to finish building this temple...and it feels quite important to your very being that it is finished, however you do not know the full state of your followers, perhaps it would be more prudent to try and know of their state first before you tend to this daunting task?
Or perhaps do you wish to do both possibly?
(You have two actions as for the first turn, after the temple is finished turns will be done by weekly basis...so turn 2 will be week 2 and so on and so forth, there will be battle mini-turns in the future or if a important event pops up that will require your attention)
-[ ] Tend to the village, your followers could use more guidance, and with such a great project you are sure that there must be needs that will be left unfulfilled during this time
-[ ] Tend to the temple, it is the seat of your power, and thus your tie to your followers...put more effort into its creation.
-[ ] other tasks? (write in)

*Note on Karma: Karma will play a important part of you being a immortal, some actions will require a Karma check, others will sometimes give rewards based on Karma, I will try to be fair if you end up either good or evil.
As the moment, you are inching closer slowly to the path of good. expect certain rewards if you choose this path soon.
Relatively if you decide to change your mind, I will do the same, however this is a land of innocence, once you have left this land remember that karma WILL matter in the long run. so think carefully and discuss with your fellow questers for this!
I will not hold back if you crit fail a roll.
But also reverse is true, if you mange to crit something for a success then I will reward it, a clever write in might also get a reward...but remember don't try to bank the system...
Have fun with this guys! and thanks for trying this crazy idea I have had!
