Time of the Gods: Into the Amber Age

Reader mode
The point was having a place to put him up, but mostly having a place for his brood and him to put him if one voter side wants to kill him/them or if the other voter side wants to spare him/them.

tl;dr: It's a polite middle ground.

I think either option would equally difficult/easy to achieve regardless of where it is.

Hunter Spirit Backed By Fear Goddess is no joke.

That... that wasn't the point.

People were up until the last update or so, recently, having conflict with one another over what to do with her.

"Let's minimize their damage, however possible"
"Let's kill her"
"Let's let her live"

So on and so forth.

Therefore, I personally find this as a happy middle ground where the incoming bitching can be avoided when Rashelki murders Saiga and/or half of our population. Or sends out a brood that starts eating our very limited population.

It was a rather elegant solution, so I thought, but apparently nobody is for it... for nearly the same amount of reasons that people were bickering in the first place. *shrugs*

The thing is, for Gaerig to even try to do so she needs 1. an Avatar, 2. To find it and 3. Somehow drag it along into her realm.

At which point we could already be either sparing it and putting it into a creche or killing it.

*rubs brain to prevent explosion*

The. Point. Is. To. Prevent. Incoming. Whining. About. What. To. Do.

I honestly don't think I have the skill with blunt language to say this any other way.

Some people will want X, others will want Y, others might want Z.
This is a 'third' option that prevents that bickering, which has already started somewhat. Because I don't want to read 15 pages of arguing over whether to kill or spare, when we can have a place to toss her and/or the babies.

1. Covered above.
2. My tentative final is 0.75 VE per success, increased to 1.5 VE per success 'when causing harm and damage with abandon'. Appropriate affinities add a straight 0.25 VE per success to applicable checks. Example changes from last turn would read, on Hail, as something like 8 total harm successes->No affinities (snow, sky, weather, etc.)->8*1.5=12 VE as opposed to the 16 VE it was worth originally.
3. Yes, but they are an upgrade line.
4. Yes.
5. Tier -1.
6. There is some miron tracking difficulty, I'll probably go over it again after I get a bite to eat.

Btw @Powerofmind here's where i got the "Tier - 1" equation for unshaped materials. So presumably you changed your mind on that at some point?
 
There you go, @Candesce

We can still add to it. And we probably should do it while we're still dispersed, honestly, because once we get back on our feet, we'll probably be too distrac-

@Powerofmind can we use our Divine Realm to store Ambrosia?

Even if he doesn't have a weapon I think he can win if we use the right control water actions. He should definitely bring a trash weapon of some kind though so he isn't taking damage for every melee action, but bring a really special weapon against rashelki is just a terrible idea due to the shark stuff.

Magic weapon should resist the damage though. And they aren't THAT hard for us to assemble.
Expensive in material/time mostly.

How would that work?

It would be hilariously high upkeep, because ambrosia doesn't naturally sit around in massive pools without a divine's assistance and often a significant amount of effort. It would depend on what kind of mechanic you were aiming to get, because there's a number of ways I could go about doing it.

I might need to change my vote.

Start off with a Divine Bank in case of emergencies.

OOH, maybe we design it so that half of what would auto-condense into Amber, instead is deposited into our Divine Realm!

Here's what I'm thinking:

So much DE that we have spillover.
We fill our personal tank of Ambrosia.
The rest will convert to Amber, BUT instead-
Half is stored in our Divine Realm before it's condensed.

I'm thinking it can also include a bit where it auto-converts some of the Ambrosia into the Stability, thus raising it every time we store Ambrosia and reducing Upkeep.
 
That effect is ridiculously powerful and I'll honestly decree it not legal, namely because it A. allows permanent ignorance of the ambrosia cap, and B. the only cap it can have is 'Stability=Infinity'.

I was thinking a passive income, maybe just a cap increase? If you still want that particular brand of effect, the upkeep will be brutal, and a lot of the effects will get stripped away straight up.
 
Hrm.

What would an effect that caused ambrosia to congeal into materials other than amber cost?

Like, hard crystals, or precious gems, or silver.

I'd thought about that at the start, but in the long run thats the point of building temples, and in the short run we're not likely to be able to store enough ambrosia that way anyway--i figure that will need to be dealt with by "get pop mod high enough to survive us rampaging at first, then demand ambrosia from allies"--though with the telekinesis bit in veekie's realm plan we might be able to communicate more with our allies while dispersed instead of our only interactions being demand/give ambrosia/DE. @Powerofmind ?

Alternately, @Terrabrand 's question
