I'm not that well educated on the intricacies of the awe inspiring, fearsome monstrosity that passes for rules in this quest, but wasn't Fear Glut the thing that made Harzivan increasingly powerful and insane in the last third of the original?

What I am trying to ask is, was it a good thing that we exploded?

Bad:
-Shrine exploding can cause traits to be lost.

Good:
-We have too few traits to actually lose from exploding shrine.

Bad:
-Shrine exploding means no shrines, no power base, and very soon after, death.

Good:
-We have a Holy Place, which is explicitly extra durable, so we are back to our freebie shrine.

Bad:
-Fear Glut usually means you killed your support base.

Good:
-Fear Glut also means you got a lot of power very quickly.

Bad:
-Fear Glut means we will have too many traits.

Good:
-We already have too many traits, it's liable to raise the trait cap.

Bad:
-We gave Saiga explosive sex.

Good:
-We gave Saiga explosive sex.

Result:
-WTF

I just hope our babies made it. They'd probably start out WEIRD though.
 
Fear gluts get more difficult to cause as time passes, to the point that only the total annihilation of entire civilizations can cause it at Fear 10. As you are now that the turn is over? You'd probably have to spend every DE from your new cap of 70 on violent Vehemence generation to do another one, and roll fairly well on most of them.
 
For all we know our shrines exploded into a rain of mutated, semi-divine octopuses. Which explode at random intervals as part of their mating habits.

Fear Gluts are that crazy from what I recall.

...I forget, did you end up changing the DE cap (I know at one point you thought about basing it solely off fear/faith), or is it still 2 highest attributes * 10? Since we currently have Fear 1/Avatar 3/Influence 2/Shrine 1, if its the latter we got *at least* 2 buffs, more if it wasn't avatar and influence!
 
For the record last quest we went crazy from having too many traits and conflicts there of for being a spirit.

Surely nurturing (explosive) children will settle Gaerig. Still not sure how to describe her wanting to bang an octopod though. Maybe she saw the fisherman's wife?
 
She might even be a single mom now since we probably blew up the one and only shrine of our dear husband or was there any mention of Saiga having others?

If not, we killed our husband on the wedding night by having a threesome with an octopus as the third. Maybe. Probably. There simply aren't enough survivors to be certain.
This will be one of those chapters in our future holy scripture.

Things that happened today:
Gaerig asploded doing a magic-powered ritual (like she should have the first time you tried it).
All of Gaerig's shrines asploded feeding the ritual.
Gaerig accidentally procced a Glut from all the asplosions.

Now I have to figure out how to describe this series of events, because what the f*** is that?
