Time of the Gods: Into the Amber Age

Reader mode
veekie said:
Amber is reasonably renewable actually, and Harvest Moon uptiers the material.

So what's uptier of Amber?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
This straight up seems like begging to explode and destroy the surrounding area. If it's renewable then we can wait until we see how much we might need to make something for Gaerig to smack people around with before we start trying to blast it with moon magic right?
 
so I found the message that we must grind into the very essence of the crone.



With the way our dice work we are obviously the God of pure chaotic nonsense along with magic and the moon.

Honestly we're Bill cipher, except a woman instead of a cycloptic triangle.

    No, this will not stand. With a flourish and sudden transformation, you reveal yourself. "I am Gaerig, and know that none shall dare enslave man under my dominion!"

    The guards are stunned into stupefaction, giving you time to go at the disc with all your might... but it is rather sturdy. Seeing your intent, the Children of the Rune once more turn their hands against you, and you punish them thoroughly their transgressions, seeing the two ice-men get their fair share of attacks in, now that their patron is near to being freed.

    The guards dispersed for now, you rain blows upon the disk, spidering cracks and chipped pieces falling away. Your efforts renew the vigor of the defending Rune Children and you are nearly overwhelmed, but the Ice-men have slain their opponents, rushing to the disc and crushing it with their simple tools.

    Newly freed, the spirit within seems to gain incredible vigor in moments, it's formerly frail body bulging with cords of muscle and coated in a thin layer of frost. With a furious howl, he tears one of the Ice-men's tools from him and leaps into the fray with you, scattering the Children in fear. He does not let up the chase, and when he drives them out of the shrine, bellows up the basin "I AM FREE, MY CHILDREN! SLAY THE MURDERERS TO A MAN! KILL THEM ALL!"

    The sounds of the dying Children of the Rune echo for several minutes, blissful music to your ears, and the spirit, along with his Ice-Men, greets you properly. "Who are you, stranger, to save me from my torment?"

    "I am Gaerig," you say simply. "I have bested the Crone and claimed her place as mistress of the Geshtaf."

    The spirit grins widely. "Splendid! Splendid," he repeats, gesturing to his Ice-men. "These are my sons, Norte and Morte. I am Keshketev. I once had many more names, but the witch stripped me of them and shackled my people, forcing them to create symbols of her power over me and others. It... It has been so long, I had feared I would die. I owe you my life, Gaerig, now unto the end of my days."

    He bows before you. It is... good.

    A bit clumsy, but it does help (minimal boost to Saiga's growth efforts)

    (At this point I'm just fucking confused because the vote devolves into a confused mass of things in near-random order, in some cases repeated, some of which don't even belong under certain umbrella votes. If you're not getting exactly what you hoped for, tough beans because I'm guessing my way through this.)

    When you return, it is to the accidental death of your new breed of Pixie, their apparently capricious nature being... poorly suited to their normal mating and hunting habits. Disappointing, but not a serious setback.

    Your plans for the year complete themselves, and your coordination with Saiga... leaves something to be desired, though it works well enough. Hopefully, people will return to your villages soon. In the meanwhile, you try to figure out something new with your silver pieces, and Seski crafts a curious bit with amber and wood, sticking it into a flute. The amber vibrates in some impressive way when she plays, producing a beautiful, perfect set of tones. You encourage her to play further, and so distracted are you by her efforts, that you do not notice when the silver changes suddenly, becoming a beautiful deep blue powder, which a cursory test of reveals it to be an excellent pigment!

    More of your time is spent in contemplation of the world itself. You discover that Silver, in particular the powdery crystals you possess, is a catalyst. When properly formed (if only you knew what proper was or how to do it), it can form nearly perfect reflections, having transmutative effects on other elements. You even figure out what the bubble was! Apparently, your body is so grand it presses against the weakening fabric of all things about you, and you can take this private space and use it however you will! What fun!

    When you try to play with Ghette, you soon discover that very young babies are boring little creatures. He wails over nothing and barely lifts his head. You do not know how to play with such a child! You are petrified of trying to care for the creature, so you leave it in your other shrine and wander the earth, hoping to find more things. You spot a few of the strange furry beasts, but the things are especially difficult to goad into doing what you want. The males are all busy rutting each other, even! Ridiculous animals, they make no sense!

    You approach Saitev in your travels, and an idea strikes you for a trade. He agrees, but you are unable to follow through on the deal... You may have a problem carrying out your end of the bargain.

    Frustrated, you go to the fox instead, who immediately gives you a sense that it is time for a rematch, his pride impinged.

    You are... defeated. In a fit, you level an angry stare at the smug little beast, who bows with mock politeness, saying "I would be delighted if you'd come again next year, clever friend!"

    Stupid fox. Stupid Baby. Stupid... stupid giant furry things!

    So with this giving us a faith score if we get it would it then put the equivalent of awesome and fearsome on the table because we'd have both faith and fear? Also how do we keep this on the fear table if we don't have any more chances to free things?

    ...Oh yeah we can improve to tier 4 now. We should do that with our main shrine, get the increased strong boost going and 2 improvements for the creche =D

    ...Darnit, that common alters is not actually all that useful :( Well...depending on how strong it is...any chance you could give us a general idea of how much the boost is? a free success worth (so base 1.4/1.1, instead of 1.2/1.0?)? Something more? less?
    With the common not a general "free DE income", i'd prefer the Chamber of Change, honestly...its literally a shiny and i feel like a hypocrite, but i dont hink we'll use the blessing boost enough, unless it makes a very big difference.

    Wait...is the +1 faith supposed to be crossed out? or would this give us faith in addition to fear? I'm assuming its just a "PowerofMind didn't hve the time/energy to check this"--same for the lack of "Greater spirit of mischief" or the like?

    Woohoo! Spirit of Mischief.

    And I actually like the idea of Goddess of Freedom. It marks us as the opposite of the Crone.

    If we weren't the current pantheon head I would agree completely. As is if we have plans to draft/trick people into our pantheon (and I honestly think this is one of the best things we could do) then it is pretty terrible for us.
     
    I feel like Gaerig would be ok with someone who was not us taking over, given we're trickster we're practically best when under someone else.

    Also I want to destroy the crone not dominate her, so I'm ok with the lessened control.

    Yeah I feel that too. The best leader would be one specked to handle all the matters of a pantheon, but that falls into the problem of the fact that they can become as tyrannical as the Crone.

    And I really like Goddess of Freedom. Based on what it does as a lesser trait I would bet that the full trait would make us effectively immune to dominance in exchange for not being able to to dominate, which is actually find considering that Gaerig is really not specked for rule.

    Ok, so things i consider essential this turn:
    -Either go attack one of the crone's villages again, for DE return, or do more blessings and good things at home for growth and DE
    -Go to saiga, release him from his bindings, in exchange for an ambrosia.
    -Use that ambrosia to build saitev his shrine, so we get ours.
    -Don't go exploring, or making babies, or any of that shit, because we are short on DE, sustenance, and ambrosia at the moment
    -study stars to read the future...but probably just the one, and likely not even omen reading; dont have the DE to spare...and if we did we should do a second study stars, because that is a hell of a lot stronger and might give us ambrosia
