Bless
(Not sure if these get skill modifiers or not... i'll do <base value list> -> <With skill mod list>())
Astrology rolled 12, 18, 9, 18, 7 (64, 97, 36, 97, 21 -> 72, 105, 44, 105, 29)
Trickery rolled 11, 10, 15, 5, 17 (55, 45, 85, 10, 94 -> 61, 51, 91, 16, 100)
(Without skill modifier: 3/4/1/4/1 flat successes for Astrology, 2/2/4/0/4 flat success for Trickery. Total: 13 + 12 = 25. Avg: 2.5)
(With skill modifier: 3/5/2/5/1 flat successes for astrology, 3/2/4/0/5 flat successes for Trickery. Total: 16 + 14 = 30. Avg: 3)
(This is a good example of how even small skill levels can have a good effect overall; 4 and 3 skill pushed us over a success threshold 5/10 times)
Gain 15 DE (PoM says blesses usually return 1-1.5x; we had some really good rolls here and got 1.5x.)
(Theory: Either blessings can go higher than 1.5x return without crits, or i believe it likely that we do get the skill mod, since getting the max listed return with avg 2.5 successes seems unlikely, since thats equivalent to a 50...)
Inspiration
Influence rolled 9
(36 + 4 = 40, 2 flat successes)
Call Fish
Fishing rolled 6
Minor Failure
(15 + 4 = 19...so very close; also suggests that call fish is DC 20)
Moonlight
(This happening now suggests that blessings/inspires and call fish don't benefit from it, even if the blessings/inspires are astrology)
Influence rolled 7
Minor Failure
(21 + 4 = 25, 1 flat success, suggests that Moonlight is DC 40)
Bear Ur-child: 6 Legend
Base 1 + Paid 1 = 2 random traits
(Our inherent trait gets 30%, 20% each for our spirits...because these are simpler in concept? lower level? Can't be that they're closer to our inherent trait, or sea would be higher)
Bear Ur-child: 3 Legend
Base 1 + Paid 1 = 2 random traits
Bear monster child
Base 0 + Paid 1 = 1 random trait
(Monsters add a "parent bonus" that displaces some of the other traits. OA - Sea is up to 20%, likely due to it being a sea creature, though SotS still went down...)
Wander
Navigation rolled 11
Moderate Success
(55 + 8 = 63, 3 flat successes. Implies that Wander is DC 40)
Read the Future
Astrology rolled 17
+1 Astrology
(And that makes the sixth or seventh astrology roll of 17. This is seriously becoming a theme.)
(94 + 8 = 102, 5 flat successes)
(Still confused but pleased that 17's are giving us skill ups...perhaps its any roll that exceeds a Major Success (that is, achieves 4 degrees of success above the DC, which in this case is 40)?)
Minor Legend
Fear rolled 11
Gained 2 Legend
(55 + 2 = 57, 2 degrees of success -> 2 legend...which is interesting, since last turn we got 2 legend with 3 degrees of success on the same roll (the "minor legendx2" that was actually one roll. Hmm...It's possible PoM either read this one too high, or that one too low?)
Meet with Saiga (Learn Him : Learn Area)
Trade rolled 6
Minor Success
(Untrained: 6 -> 5 : 10 ...which means there are modifiers--likely a +10 or more for being a friendly spirit who is in his pantheon and also his wife? If its the usual DC of 40, then +30 from those...)
Trade rolled 13
Major Success
(Untrained: 13 -> 12 : 64. So the modifiers are such that 10 + Mod is over a minor success threshold, and that 64 + mod is over the major success threshold; if the threshold starts at 20, then 10 <= Mod > 16. If it starts at 40, then 30 <= Mod > 36)
Spirit Encounter
Fear rolled 17
Gained 4 Legend
(94 + 2 = 96, 4 flat successes for 4 legend)
Reflecting Pool
Calm Seas rolled 9, 12 (Uses influence: 36 + 4 = 40, 64 + 4 = 68. 2 and 3 flat successes)
Astrology rolled 15 (85 + 8 = 93, 4 flat successes)
Second Magic prerequisites not met
Wild Magic rolled 14 - The Black Star (79 + Mod, assuming this isn't just a selection out of a table.)
--- rolled 21 (...still not sure how exactly to handle exploding die conversions... over a 100, if nothing else)
(-- is likely Mysticism or a related trait?)
Ritual of the Black Star
Astrology rolled 18 (97 + 8 = 105, 5 flat successes)
Drain 15 DE, Drain 2 Ambrosia
(...Not sure if rolling that high made it more effective and costly, or made it cheaper. I'm betting cheaper, since we still "only" got fear 2 from fear 1)
(Fairly cheap for a 2 point trait on an accidental ritual, to be honest...so yeah, that really high astrology roll was rather helpful i'd say!)
Not enough Ambrosia, Drain 45 DE
Not enough DE, Cannibalizing Holdings
Avatar cannibalized for 30 DE
Apostate village shrine cannibalized for 10 DE
Saiga's village shrine cannibalized for 10 DE
(15 DE to make up for 1 Ambrosia in ritual)
(Avatar worth 10*Avatar)
(Shrines presumably each worth 10 * Shrine-Tier)
Ritual Cost met
Gain Fear 2
(Woot!)
Explosion at the Shrines
Child rolled 6
First Ur-child dies in shrine explosion
(Alas, i wanted to see what moon let him do)
Child rolled 13
Second Ur-Child survives!
Child rolled 7
Child gained 3 Legend
Child immediately pays out investment, gain 5 legend?
(Sweeetttt...how is this calculated again? We gave her 3 legend and 2 traits, so threshold of 3...do we gain threshold + (# traits)? is this 5 gross or 5 net?)
That was very impressive... and very scary
Fear rolled 22! (...Still don't understand how exploding values work: at least 102 value, so at least 5 flat successes...a 30! is worth 1000 value iirc, so likely at least another success or 2? Might be a multiplier, so its worth 200, or 10 successes?)
Gained 20 Legend
(At most 4 legend per success, maybe as low as 2 per success...)
(Our actions: Moderate blessing for sacrifices, 1 inspire, call fish (failed), moonlight (faied), study stars, reflecting pool (with calm seas), impromptu ritual, exploding shrine/avatar, 3 kids, with humans and an octopus, demand to improve our shrine)
FEAR BUY - Vehemence (17)
(Vehemence>10*Fear)
Legend rolled 13 (72 + (Legend Mod))
(Need a legend roll to get glut/affect glut?)
Major Glut - Must spend at least (17) Legend
(72 + L is enough for full use of vehemence)
(...Also, holy shit! The first firestorm proto-glut in AA gave us 29 legend worth of traits, but that was...you know, burning a large swath of forest, killing hundreds, and on turn 75, instead of turn 9!)

(Very nice haul!)
Your year is far more busy now, though it's easy enough to grant your divine blessing on the people when they ask your aid. You selectively grant some of your cleverness and knowledge to the especially devout, and leave them to return with proper sacrifices, and once again gift a divine inspiration to a sleeping person. They wake, but seem to not have been as heavily affected by your inspiration. How rude!
The stars have especially interesting information for you this year, telling you that you must take certain action as quickly as possible, lest the seeds you've sown are washed away...(A bit confused as to what it's referring to here...) You're a touch worried about what the stars imply, but they also imply you go find some men to lay with, so it's probably okay. You start with Saiga, of course, but you know that you'll have to save your strength for your other conquests, a sentiment Saiga thankfully agrees with, for now. Upon your temporary marriage bed, he tells you a little of himself, often distracting his stories of himself with stories of his explorations. (Results of minor success) You learn that for a long time now, Attrouska has seen terrible futures, so Saiga and Saitev - a raven spirit and apparent close friend of Saiga's - have been careful not to overextend themselves for many years. His stories of his exploits in recent times have been understandably dull, where he keeps a close eye on the horizon for a Dread Thing from the sea. He seems especially glad that you will be with him now, in a form of flesh though he'd traveled your waters for decades, to make his lonely vigil more exciting. (Results of major success)
You ignore pointing out that you came from the sea, and that you've done many terrible things to the people since your awakening.
Your first mortal conquest is a fine-looking young man from Saiga's village, who you take into the bones of your new shrine to bed under cover of night. There is a feeling of purpose and power within you and you nurture it a little before you leave, bidding Saiga a temporary farewell. Your second comes from one of your own people, as you draw him towards your shrine at night, away from his wife. You nurture another purpose within you, feeling pleased that you will have children now.
You end up traveling rather far soon after, your wanderlust having gone unsated for too long, and in the time you spend away, you get a better sense for the shore for a few miles, a curiously round crescent that your good sense of distance tells you seems to center around the great pit near the sunken village. In your travels, you find a curious little creature with many tentacles, so small as to fit in your hand. In a fit of curiosity, you decide to also add it to your list of conquests! The logistics are tricky, but you eventually manage to coax it to give you another child.
Your third child, poor thing, doesn't seem to have the same kind of power the first two did, but it's okay, you like it more anyway since it can swim and live underwater with you; something you get the feeling your other children can't share with you... While you wait to bear your secret children, and your abdomen swells like the mothers on the land, you try to experiment with your newest powers, pouting when nobody seems to notice that you'd even used them! You know you made the moon glow brighter... a little... And there were more fish in your shoal, though you could never really count them anyway... (Alas, our failures make her pout...come to think of it, if no one noticed, we should still get first time legend gain when we use them next =D) Bah! At the least, your children will still be born soon, and you will figure out how to do those new things better next time.
Your first birth, though the final child you'd taken, is kept secret in your shoal. (Interesting...Is this just octopus gestation time? however long that is? or do Ur-children take longer? or Monsters take less?) A small number of tiny eggs, maybe a dozen, free themselves from you suddenly, and you sequester them away near the bottom of your Holy Place, around the depth you'd found them at so they grow as best as they can! (Not actually just one child! Good to know...) The second child, and first you'd taken into yourself, is born later, in your shrine. The birth is painful, more than once you snap at the old women who remain by your side to try to help you birth it, but eventually the child comes out, and his sister shortly after. (Not a secret child anymore at all, i'd say
) There is some light bowing and praising when the women see the children for the first time; your son has strange eyes that do not match, one blue, one silver, while your daughter has only bright blue ones on her pudgy little smiling face.
And then the Long Night arrives. You still the waters as the moon peaks over the horizon at the apex of the stars' path, and, with greater care, peer deeply into the reflection...
You catch a flicker. It comes again, but it has been twice now that the strange body has been only barely seen. Seeing it fills you with desire, with terror-joy-love-anguish-a pinnacle! The reflection of your eyes shows them dilate and shift from phase to phase, and you lick your lips, feeling unnaturally dry despite your innate form. With trembling hand, you reach out for the hollow place in the sky, and cup the still water in your hands, bringing it close to your lips as you take one little sip...
Quite suddenly, everything is wrong. Already low on strength from the year's near-end, you feel a pull from the sky as you are both empowered to greater heights and drained to a low you have never felt before. Your shrines, anointed with your power, implode suddenly as you feel your domain shrivel and shrink. Your body emaciates itself, and for a split second there is only a terrible, terrible hunger before it bloats and explodes, joining your shrines as they bring daylight to the long night, and as the earth shudders near each separate ground zero, panic overtakes everyone in amounts you've never felt before, never comprehended before.
The waters of the shoal buck and heave as you try to shudder without a body, to moan in ecstasy without a mouth. You fall into a contented haze, basking in the power you've gained, and all you can think of is the color Black. (COLORS. IT BEGINS AGAIN)
The stars have especially interesting information for you this year, telling you that you must take certain action as quickly as possible, lest the seeds you've sown are washed away...(A bit confused as to what it's referring to here...) You're a touch worried about what the stars imply, but they also imply you go find some men to lay with, so it's probably okay. You start with Saiga, of course, but you know that you'll have to save your strength for your other conquests, a sentiment Saiga thankfully agrees with, for now. Upon your temporary marriage bed, he tells you a little of himself, often distracting his stories of himself with stories of his explorations. (Results of minor success) You learn that for a long time now, Attrouska has seen terrible futures, so Saiga and Saitev - a raven spirit and apparent close friend of Saiga's - have been careful not to overextend themselves for many years. His stories of his exploits in recent times have been understandably dull, where he keeps a close eye on the horizon for a Dread Thing from the sea. He seems especially glad that you will be with him now, in a form of flesh though he'd traveled your waters for decades, to make his lonely vigil more exciting. (Results of major success)
You ignore pointing out that you came from the sea, and that you've done many terrible things to the people since your awakening.
Your first mortal conquest is a fine-looking young man from Saiga's village, who you take into the bones of your new shrine to bed under cover of night. There is a feeling of purpose and power within you and you nurture it a little before you leave, bidding Saiga a temporary farewell. Your second comes from one of your own people, as you draw him towards your shrine at night, away from his wife. You nurture another purpose within you, feeling pleased that you will have children now.
You end up traveling rather far soon after, your wanderlust having gone unsated for too long, and in the time you spend away, you get a better sense for the shore for a few miles, a curiously round crescent that your good sense of distance tells you seems to center around the great pit near the sunken village. In your travels, you find a curious little creature with many tentacles, so small as to fit in your hand. In a fit of curiosity, you decide to also add it to your list of conquests! The logistics are tricky, but you eventually manage to coax it to give you another child.
Your third child, poor thing, doesn't seem to have the same kind of power the first two did, but it's okay, you like it more anyway since it can swim and live underwater with you; something you get the feeling your other children can't share with you... While you wait to bear your secret children, and your abdomen swells like the mothers on the land, you try to experiment with your newest powers, pouting when nobody seems to notice that you'd even used them! You know you made the moon glow brighter... a little... And there were more fish in your shoal, though you could never really count them anyway... (Alas, our failures make her pout...come to think of it, if no one noticed, we should still get first time legend gain when we use them next =D) Bah! At the least, your children will still be born soon, and you will figure out how to do those new things better next time.
Your first birth, though the final child you'd taken, is kept secret in your shoal. (Interesting...Is this just octopus gestation time? however long that is? or do Ur-children take longer? or Monsters take less?) A small number of tiny eggs, maybe a dozen, free themselves from you suddenly, and you sequester them away near the bottom of your Holy Place, around the depth you'd found them at so they grow as best as they can! (Not actually just one child! Good to know...) The second child, and first you'd taken into yourself, is born later, in your shrine. The birth is painful, more than once you snap at the old women who remain by your side to try to help you birth it, but eventually the child comes out, and his sister shortly after. (Not a secret child anymore at all, i'd say
) There is some light bowing and praising when the women see the children for the first time; your son has strange eyes that do not match, one blue, one silver, while your daughter has only bright blue ones on her pudgy little smiling face.And then the Long Night arrives.

Divine Enhancements

(Oooh, very nice! Discounted by...Moon probably? It's a new trait, so i can't say whether its base cost is 8, or if its been increased by anything. I think that would only happen if we got a divine enhancement, so 8 is likely the base cost)

[X] Remake plan to fit our actual DE/Ambrosia available
For anyone not intent on reading my full post, if i'm reading the update right, PoM messed up both the DE calculations (forgetting our blessing DE) and the DE cap, so we should actually have 79 DE and 1 Ambrosia, instead of 74 and 0.
Also:

That is,

To show that all the minor aspects have base cost of 2, but modifiers result in different actual costs.
Double Edit: Also, just to be clear, you haven't changed the skill modifiers from +2 to +3 yet, right? If/when you do, can you let us know? Also, if you're still deciding and want a chart like i made earlier to show the differences, let me know; i got partway to making one last night before i found some bugs in my code, but if you need it i can fix it tonight.

Also:
Speaking of trait synergies, you said before you would be willing to document any such synergies we actually have unlocked, since that info is relevant to decisions about despising, and isn't as ridiculous as listing synergies for all unlocked traits or hte like. When you next update the character sheet, can you include those? I think we know about Spirit of the Sea boosting our water actions (or at least control waters), but not any others--i assume waves also improves control waters (or at least whip waves), but i'm not sure, since its unwritten...

@Abby Normal, 58 total legend is correct. 36 + 31- 9 = 67 - 9 = 58, it's just an annotation error.
In addition, I believe the DE was burnt through by the ritual? Not totally sure, though. Lemme double check...
Yeah, it says right there by costs, it nabbed the 15 DE we got for Blessings, but it didn't have enough Ambrosia, so it turned to DE; except we didn't have enough of that, so it exploded things.

The first part is right.
And my reading of that was that it was:
"Cost: 15 DE, 2 Ambrosia"
"Not enough ambrosia, updating costs to replace inefficiently with DE: 15 + 2 * 30 (conversion rate) = 45 total DE"
Plus, if it works your way, then replacing ambrosia with DE in a ritual is 22.5DE/ambrosia, which is a really weird rate, and it means that blessing DE, and ONLY blessing DE, can be used out of income to help with in-turn expenses--our Rites weren't used, our PB wasn't used, our Vehemence-Before-Ritual wasn't used, etc. And i think the Blessing DE wasn't either.
And the equation at the end seems to support that;
74 - 73 (Expended) - 45 (Wild Magic Ritual) + 50 (Cannibalized) = 6 + 4 (Rites) + 82 (17 Vehemence) + 7 (PB) = 99
So the total cost of the ritual was 45. It didn't just say "+ 5 (left over from ritual cannibalization)", so it seemingly is writing everything out. With your argument i'd expect it to say "- 60 (Wild Magic Ritual) + 15 (Blessing DE) + 50 (Cannibalized)" or " - 60 (wild magic ritual) - 65 (Cannibilized)"
If nothing else, there's atypo, and i'll wait for PoM to tell us more...
For now, @Pandemonious Ivy why wouldn't you call on Saiga for help with Ambrosia? Without help, we can't fully form our avatar no matter how much DE we get; we'll have to attempt with 2/4, and likely go on a minor rampage...

Neat, can't wait to vote for your plan just because. I'm joking this time, don't get excited.
Since when do we have Fear 4?
It does seem to support that, you're quite right. Wait and see, indeed. Hopefully he's not completely flooded with pings and alerts when he gets back on.
This last update was a real doozy. Fear 2 from a surprise ritual, then Fear 3 and Fear 4 from the Glut that resulted from the explosions caused by actually paying for said ritual.
Abby Normal
High Clerk of the Ymaryn

Check the Glut again, we got Fear 4 at the end and PoM missed it when summarizing/calculating the first time around.
Also, @Powerofmind if i am right and you missed the blessing DE, a suggestion: in the interests of a second update, maybe just push those sacrifices off until next turn and give us the DE this coming turn? Maybe the fluff would be "the sacrifices were delayed due to the explosions"?

We should keep in mind that we caused quite a ruckus last turn, so the Crone is definitely aware of our presence now. Laying low and being as non-threatening as possible will help a lot in case she decides to investigate. Randomly blowing up the island is bad enough, but it would be an even poorer first impression if Saiga has to explain to her that is new wife is unavailable for a chit chat because she is busy murdering the mortals for fun.
Saiga has an interesting build, and we get a look at the T3 Bear/Human/Exploration trait
Bear is highly offensive, with the ability to add a strong modifier to damage outcomes and a large Melee/stealth bonus. Do not fight a bear(but we should know that)
Human adds Innovation and Trade at T3, but it's unclear what else the trait actually does. However, granting a monster Leadership, Innovation and Trade is an essential part of being sapient(if not a full person that can worship).
Exploration adds +2 Survival at T2, and boosts the distance you can wander. Pretty cool overall, but now that we know it, I think it's probably not a very good investment for us.
Raven reads omens, flies and sings. Very tasty trait for us, as far as animal traits are concerned.
Spirit of Law comes with Art, and a hidden skill. So that's probably a hybrid skill there.
You know, I just realized that if we had just smashed Saiga with a Roil we'd be facing down the whole pantheon.
Ordered not to go wander around.
I wonder if we could spend the extra DE to invite him to show us his discoveries. Overland exploration + the waifu surcharge?
I'd point out that for Fear spirits it means you'd have trouble generating them at all, unless you can bank your way to minimum over multiple turns
Shove the liquid from our Secret Place into our other Secret Place? Lewd.
They tended to be. Seafarers are basically the textbook infidelity source. Both the sailor and his wife.
Octopusbaby has two stacking abilities to change it's appearance.
Perform Trickery is used for seduction.
It really was.
You will <Simultaneously Impregnate an entire village>?!
Now, I actually did make it clear. Your plan was more likely to explode.
My plan was less likely to explode, but if it did, it would be big explosion
It's something for God tier spawn apparently.
It's like...a Monster has no capacity to lead, to innovate, to discourse, to understand give and take. It is not stupid, in fact, many monsters are quite cunning, but it's flatly incapable of faith. Aspect of Humanity lets it have the ability to do SOME of these things, but it cannot learn like a human would, only within the scope of it's domain.
Less an animal, more like...Siri. It can learn but only within a given scope. It can pretend to be, but it's not human.
Naw, already mentioned. Local God gating.
Chimera just lets you make a really monstrous human, which is to say, going at the problem from the opposite direction.
Probably the modifier for having sex with him earlier.
Dice explode when we roll 10,10. Which gives us a 100+Success from doubles
Then we rolled 1,1, which gives us a 10 + success from doubles.
So we get a bbase result of 22+2 successes.
Incidentally that means:
-We exploded from ritual.
-We exploded the dice.
-We exploded from too many traits
So when we speculated we should have guessed All Of The Above.
The seeds we've sown refers to the conflict with Saiga, where we established a pattern and he was basically trapped in the "getting a wife" narrative thread instead of the "slay monster" narrative.
We fucked him, so the deal is complete
Then we exploded.

Actually, i'm pretty sure we just roll 1 extra d10; one of the earlier posts had it happen, to my knowledge, and the example PoM gave to explain how to value it was that a 30 (that is 10 + 10 + 10, so three dice total) is an order of magnitude greater than a nat 20. So i'm assuming its "multiply the value before exploding with the cumulative chance value of the extra die/10"--in this case: [nat 20 on 2d10] * [bonus d10 roll 2], which is 100 * 2 = 200, which is consistent with [nat 20 on 2d10] * [bonus d10 roll 10] being 100 * 10 before the extra die?
