A god am I

[Aldgar]

Iura Ciel, Myalon
The Lady frowned. This Valkir was clearly overstepping the limits of his domain when he refused to let her believer's souls enter the afterlife she had created for them. Not only that, he dared to try and oppose her will!
He would soon rue the folly of his choice.

Iura was... surprised, to say the least, at the dark Jester's invitation; and even moreso at his interpretation of her actions. Surely her Law had brought Order to the world, manifest in the Lawful, and the purging War they undertook at the moment would bring the same Order to the other mortals as well. Order would succeed, and if it had to be enforced through the throes of Chaos - so be it.

Her response was swift and decisive. "I will consider your offer, Jester, Lord of Chaos and Madness. While I do not agree with you on many matters, and while I do not wish to increase the influence of Chaos in this world, I shall nonetheless think about an alliance. You have been scorned by Valkir all the same, and you possess enough power to be considered a valuable ally."

The Lady then turned her attention to the Material world once again. A strange unrest had spread through her believers, a hint of subtle fear coupled with outrageous rumors. Doubtlessly, the work of a deity opposed to her plans.

Was it Valkir? Perhaps, though such a direct course of action seemed unbefitting to the self-proclaimed Judge.

A closer look revealed a multitude of small devils in disguise among her people, spreading lies and false rumors, inciting fear, turning her believers against each other. Iura's anger flared up, and she immediately commanded Isochet, the custodian of Alexion to deal with this annoyance.

Her followers would NOT falter. They would not fall, and most certainly not by such a petty campaign of confusion.

Isochet Ceav Tahlan D'ur, Material Plane -Alexion-
The silver dragon, ruler of Alexion, heard the Lady's order and reacted immediately. He commanded the troops left in Alexion to exterminate any imp they found, to disprove the false rumors and to reassure the citizens.

He himself utilized his powers as proxy to assist them in getting rid of this plague, and sent several battalions to aid the nearby townships in the same manner.

Isochet had been given a task: To guide and protect the Lawful while Claire conquered the Lawless. He would not fail his duty.

Claire ci Vallé, Material Plane -About 50 Miles from the Forest of Illusions-
The First halted the army's march and went to investigate the sudden shift in attitude some soldiers portrayed. Formerly eager to fight, those soldiers now were hesitant, almost fearful - as if doubts and scepticism had gripped their minds. Claire quickly realized this as work of a Deity and acted appropriately. She commanded the Army to rest, and created a grand feast for her soldiers, especially for those that were affected by this unnatural fear. The goddess could not afford to let her army suffer from bad morale just before a battle.

Okay...
First, none of my gods have AP left atm, so I can't do...much.
Iura uses Alter Reality for Sending, once commanding Isochet, once replying to Mumbles.

Isochet and the reserve soldiers in Alexion(~60.000) go and kill imps in Alexion and the surrounding towns.

Claire uses Alter reality to emulate Heroes' Feast lots of times.

Ihta nods to herself, "Excellent, things progress...Would you care to send an envoy to our cities? The Federation endorses any sort of cultural acclimation and education, I believe we'd appreciate the chance to understand yours as well. As for the...pilfering, it is of little consequence in the Great Plan, although we could simply offer these things to you as payment for this woodland you have graciously allowed us to portion."

[Alber]

Sk'rk, with Ihta

As soon as Ihta uttered the word "payment" the Bandits swiftly disappeared into the trees along with the equipment, apparently anxious for any hint that they were able to depart.

NOW the events that had been rewinded occur, although chronologically they don't completely resolve until after this exchange.

"Well...I suppose that takes care of that..." Sk'rk stated, looking at the fleeing Bandits, then turning back to Ihta, "I believe that an envoy would be a fine idea, and of course we will allow you the same courtesy."

Gallat

Noticing that Claire's army was nearing the forest, he decided to implement his plan for a little interference. The Dragons under Claire's command were formidiable foes to be sure, but they had one weakness. Gallat thought back to the time when he conversed with their, now elusive, creator. He remembered vividly the pride and arrogance he possessed and, although Iura managed to hide it through her Call, that same pride was ingrained into the Dragon's very being and could not be completely erased.

Slowly, and subtly so as not to arouse suspicion, Gallat implanted a suggestion into the minds of the great lizards. "The Law is great, to be sure, but why must we share it? Why must these lesser beings receive the same blessings as us?" These and other such questions were risen up to the forefront of the Dragon's thoughts, but it was a gradual process, and even at it's peak Gallat knew it would not be enough for the beasts to turn on their commrads, unless provoked, but it would be enough to insure division in the ranks.

As ships of deserting Arkun left for the Kitsune lands, other ships were coming in. Kitsune Warboats, armed with the best seige weapons they'd come up with, and manned by the first group of the volunteer fighters that wished to help the Arkun in their defense. Leading the floatilla was The Explorer retrofit to thier new standards, and captained by the cheif Paladin himself, Captain Ahad. Though somewhat older, he was still as enthusiastic as ever about coming to yet another glorious adventure.

Lukica the Inheritor with 5 AP, at home

Watching her servants initiate friendly contact with the Arkun was bolstering to her thoughts, she repeats the phrase her litigious worshipper had said, "Things Progress...." As they wrapped up their meeting, and went their separate ways, She absently shifts the globe, looking at the armies on the move, the ship sailing across the great sea....

Something catches her interest aboard the ship, as her gaze picks up on the true nature of all things. Some of these races had divine abilities! She examined it closer, almost so close that she had almost changed planes to be upon them. This god...the rather humanesque god...Roberts, was it? had found a way to allow his people to act as a conduit. Novel...and ingenious.

She looks back to the south coast, where the ones made in her image banded...the humans. For a moment she considers the fact that herself and other gods had the same image as them, that perhaps it was a...protoform, a mold that was simply left basic. Another change catches her eye.

Yet another civilization emerges, yet this one seemed appealing to her, scholarly...surely the largest buildings there served the divine purpose of education. It dismays her even further as she discovers the creators of this wonder.

Lukica the Inheritor at the Vor'Sathar Institute

She appears before her brother and his aberration companion. "What is this?" She asks rhetorically, "A school of the bodily arts, and who do I see founding it?..." Lukica motions to Vorm, "Well done, I am quite pleased to see your interests pay off...This concept...seems unusual, I am interested to see how it plays out." She doesn't say anything to Salthar'thir at first, but it becomes as inevitable as Gatz that she asks the question to him, "You are not the Tainter I have seen, yet your form is so very similar. What business do you have here on my world?"

[Draken]

Truth be said, Synads look like perfectly normal humans. They are just far more accomplished psionic beings (aka: Better than elans in most possible ways).

Salthar'thir

Salthar'thir pokes Lukica curiously.

Hello! Hello! What are these? Tools? Hehehehehe. You must be one of the deities of mechanisation the Warper thought of. You ask why I am here. You compare me to my sibling... Say we are similar? How so? Answers, answers... Let me answer. Yes, yes. We are similar, in that we are completely unlike anything else. Experiments, heralds, faces, that is what we are, children of the great Warper of Flesh. Beyond the scope of your unerstanding it is, both physically and psychologicaly, yes, yes. We are its hands in this world, like a thousand more are in a thousand others. Yes. Yes.

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Ostochre

Ostochre looks about at all the gods in Valkirs hall, he would have sneered derisively at Iura, if he skin and lips with which to do so. Instead here merely spoke, breaking the silence. "This blindness wears thin on my patience. Forgive me Judge of Souls, I shall take my leave of your presence for it now includes hers" He indicates Iura, before stepping backwards in a door-shaped opening in space, which promptly closes behind him.

Back in a pocket of the void, the ethereal ocean which waits overhead all, Ostochre begins to craft a vast machine. For this machine he gathers mortal components from all over the world, the bodies of the dead, the tools of death such as swords and axes, he brings coffins and nooses and broken dead trees and everything to do with death and it's act. He begins fashioning and molding them, melting them to their base components or breaking them down, putting them into new places. Finally, for his last act, he takes all the hearts of all the creatures he had taken, and forged them all into one vast organ, which he placed at the machines center, and it began to beat and thrum with unholy energies, powering oil, black blood, and dark fluids through the machine.

Grinning his macabre grin, Ostochre opened the steel coffin to which the machines heart pumped it's unliving force, and stepped inside, connecting the vast humming machine to the base of his skull, the middle of his spine, his arms and his legs, and then closed the lid, blackness, the humming of the machine, and the beating of it's core his only companions as he soaked up the energies of his foul creation.

Chorsotok

Chorsotok looked down into the waiting army, and then at his small force of True Dead. He spoke to them "Come my children, let us see what all this is about" and with that he set off down to the army. He passed through the camps towards the most potent source of power, a divine being no doubt. His True Dead showed no fear at following him through what was obviously a field of their enemies, and for their part they strangely seemed to have no inclination to attack this strange silver apparition or his small band of followers. When he reached the location of the divine power source, Chorsotok bowed his head in light respect and said "Greetings, I am Chorsotok, The Prophet of Bone. Might I ask why it is you bring an army to the Arkun, an act which will surely interrupt my missionary work here?"

She looks at Salthir, puzzled, before venturing a guess, "Did a strange jester visit you recently?" She adds, "I am elder than your Warper, do not presume my ignorance to these things." She gestures to the Igors, "I was curious to this new race..." She looks at one of them, focusing on him, analyzing him further by examining his true nature, if but the surface of it. She says thoughtfully, "The addition of monstrous appendages to the more civilized races...a momentary usage, unless it's capable of being passed on in the bloodline..."

[Draken]

Salthar'thir, the Shaper.

No jesters, no, no. No clowns either, I have seen none with my own very eyes, but many in the dreams of the Warper, yes, yes. - Mumbles or no Mumbles, Sal'thar'thir is quite mad, funny and friendly, but still a cloudcuckoolander.

And you can be old, old, old, older than me even, in infinite ways. But the Warper is old in ways that you could not understand, it is older than future. Yes, yes. It spawns infinite existances, and it is formed of endless improbabilities, yes, yes. Infinite impossibilities. Yes, yes. Indeed, of course.

Suddenly, Salthar'thir starts to glow, while a similar white light comes from the south, from far, far away, from Illazan.

Blessings of the father!... Mother... Whatever. Blessings! For me and my brother... Sister. Sibling! Indeed! Bask in it!

Pass on? No, no. It does not. To change a life in such a through way is no simple feat. Grafting, grafting is the art I give mortals! Art I say! And what is art if it is not unique. No, no. What is the point, if it passes on, identical, free of possibility of mistake, no, no. Bound for the knowledge to fade, no, no. I say!

[zerombr]

Lukica the Inheritor with 4 AP + 4 AP + 1 FP
with Vorm and Salthar

She finds the new god's words somewhat perceptive, taking a stance to reflect her more focused attention upon him, her arms crossed.
"Why would you allow any enhancement to fade willingly? Knowledge especially is to be preserved and taught to the next generation, so they may accomplish more than those before them. If these ones could inherit the changes made to their predecessors, they would have already accomplished a level of adaptation. What you have....is temporary, and forgettable, but...as I have said, interesting enough. I suppose I shall see in a while how much the changes affect those that live here."


Gatz the Inevitable 2 AP + 1 AP

The bot seems to be in a rather effacious mood, swaying side to side, humming in a staticy voice some tune he had heard once. "IT IS EXEMPLARY THAT THE ARKUN HAVE DEEMED FIT TO TRADE AMBASSADORS. SUCH A CORRELATION OF CROSS-CULTURE THEMES IS BOUND TO BIND THE RACES TOGETHER. HAVE YOU DECIDED UPON WHO WILL REPRESENT OUR CULTURE IN THIS EXCHANGE?"
Ihta, weary of his incessant chattering, climbs out of the carriage, thankful to be on solid earth again, simply looks up to him.
"ME? WELL, IF YOU INSIST...I'D BETTER CLEAN UP." The mechanized godling's armor plates extend outward, then flip about, as several adjustments are made to him from internal levers and gears, steam pours out of him for a moment. He looks remarkably similar to his previous form, "THERE, ALL BETTER."

Salthar'thir

Not everyone wants a heart made by the Silthilar, not everyone wants their bones and not everyone wants their hide. Fewer yet wish for the grafts of my sibling's creations, those that roam the sea and the sky, yes, yes.

Grafts are temporary things, yes. They are made by mortals, yes. With their owner's demise, they die, yes. To made then anything greater would put this art beyond the scope of what mortals can do. Or it could be a risk, yes. A great risk. The genome, it is our instinct to dabble with it, yes. But to a mortal, these infinite facets of life are as unknoable as the will of the Warper is to you, yes, yes. As such, I gave then this art, you mistake it for the art to make life, but in truth, it is the art to forge a sword, with bone and flesh, yes. Flesh is greater than gold, yes, bone is stronger than steel, yes.

Miriad of tiny beings crawled out of Salthar'thir's flesh, and far away, the same happened with Illazan.

Gifts from the Warper, yes, yes!
Gifts from the Warper, it is pleased!

Seeing his swarm spreading across the continent, Verzen smiled smugly to himself. It was a truly magnificent return. He looked at the faces of every member of Iura's army. Despite the blow to the brunt of their army, the cut off trade routes and other incoveniences he had caused, their morale didn't waver. Their goddess must have a tight hold on all of her soldiers. But like every bond, it may be broken. If she works on the inside, then I too shall work on the inside.

She visibly startles as the Dark Jester appears, "Yahh!" It takes her a moment to regain herself, and it's obvious that losing her cool demeanor ...especially in front of the other gods was grating on her. "I should have known you would have your say in this." She points a hand accusatory at Mumbles, "Foul cretin, I will not tolerate your inanity here, while science and progress is written."

"There has been error!" The god said to himself "I will right it" . So the god of justice did true justice. Those who were good and prayed to Iura were sent to her heaven for them.

If a blot of darkness would grin...Mumbles would be the blot.

"Alright, Lukica explosives....how...repetitive. You really need to learn new tricks. Here, I'll show you how to be....creative!"

Mumbles' darkness spread over the world, snickering was heard over the whole of the world. The Iboic opened in full and millions upon millions filled the world. The World itself was nothing, a dark nothing.

Assault and Battery left the dark carnival to find the Kitsune. However, neither defended anything, lobbing creatures back and forth, from time to time one of them would drop a Kitsune. This would make a nice smear upon the ground.

Chaos was released upon the world, Mumbles laughed.

Forest of Illusions, A group clowns

The group of clowns walked up to a group of Arkun. They snickered as one spoke.

"COME ONE, COME ALL! SEE THE TRICK OF A THE CENTURY!"

A single Arkun walked over to the announcing clown. The clown's almost overly friendly eyes darted to the creature.

"We have a volunteer!"

And with that he snapped his finger catching the poor creature aflame. The creature ran over to the others and soon the group were flaming. The flaming group hugged trees. The clowns laughed at the misery. One by one the Arkun of the forest burst into flame. The forest was destroyed in a little under an hour.

(Iboic has 3 AP, he spends 1 Curse Arkun with flaming touch, if they touch a green plant they burst into flames. 1 AP to shape land, Charred Forest, and 1 AP to Curse the Illusion to make it seems as if the forest itself is what is attacking the Arkun....did I mention I love my job?)


The Ocean, Assault

Assault had wondered off from Battery. That might give the Kitsune from the ports a bit of a break, but the ocean becomes a dark and forbidding place.

Assault decided that the ocean needed more....combat. Holding his great angelic hands out he brings a pillar of water up. The water fell down quickly, however not before some creatures poured out of it.

First, a Long serpentine creatures flowed out of it. The creature's mouth bellowed out tempest winds and lightning when it opened it. The creature had what seemed like a set of wings on it's side but they had skin connecting them to the rest of the body.

These would be known as Sea Dragons.

Second, a creature bellowed out, bringing a great splash. The water around it creating several tidus that could sink great ships with little problems. This bulbous creature had a great maw able to engulf five or six ships all at once.

These would be soon known as the Great Whale.

Finally, the horrors would end, with the last great monster. The worst of the three. It measured as long as the ocean itself. Long arms stretched out from it's body. The arms searched for food. It's giant eye sealed shut. The only saving grace against such a horror. It's first action as it's great arms searched the oceans was to grab a Great Whale and pull it into it's center. The Great Whale was no more...eaten by this monster.

This..creature would be known as the Horror of the Sea.

Assault was happy. He had wrestling buddies. And not Battery...speaking of Battery.

Ariel, Battery

Battery heard the lovely song of the Songtouched, he was touched. He wanted to smash it. But, How?

Battery was not the smartest God in the cosmos, but he did know that if you beat something it dies. And if you have a good song it has a beat!

"I know!"

Battery reached one of his monstrous hands out, gripping the air. The song in the air started to gain a dark tone, a heavy beat. Slowly the Songtouched started to explode. One, by one. Battery now blood splattered giggled with sadistic glee.

"Lukica, if you do not..heheh..stop being so bland each divine week I will release more and more Chaos unto the world. All you have to do to stop me...is..."

A drum roll was heard.

"Kill the Valkir"

Mumbles hung in the air, his power was glowing around him. A box floating inside of him.

"An answer?"

[lesser_minion]

Medea, Ariel

The goddess had been crying for some time. It was partly the shock - half a populace annihilated in such a horrible manner.

It had been even worse for the Arkun, who were left on the brink of extinction. There had been a few songtouched who had marched towards the forest of the Arkun. Most of them were dead due to the curse.

Even the forest they had been moving to protect was itself gone. There was nothing left worth fighting over, nothing that could be salvaged. Nothing that could be saved.

Even so, she could always offer hope, if nothing else.

A gentle - albeit rather salty - rain fell all around the world, infusing the soil itself with the essence of the plane of dreams, and increasing its influence on the mortal mind.

Aggression and anger seemed to seep from the world - those who had been incited to war awoke from their sleep having seemingly undergone an epiphany. Nobody among the armies of the world was still prepared to fight, and a mysterious curse seemed to strike down any mortal who still prepared for war or conquest.

The power of the box empowered Mumbles giving him the form of a dark clown. Long arms wrapping around Lukica. The powerful God's giggles seemed darker and more aggressive.

"Brotherhood will carry on!"

The Voice of the clown smirked. Lukica's attack utterly destroyed the clownish form. The dark clown reappeared.

"Raise your power if you must."

Two beams of divine might empowered the dark cloud. Wrapping around Lukica.

"Each and every one of us."

Alright, with the divine combat already started by Lukica I don't have to spend anything on it.

This is a little complex so i'll do it in steps.

1. Mumbles is DR 6.
2. Iboic is DR 1. He gains a AP from the Pantheon to 'Oppose other Gods' He uses it to Aid Another on Mumbles. This gives him a +1 Bonus, bringing him up to 7.
3. Battery is DR 1. He uses the 1 AP he has left over to Aid Mumbles. This gives a +1 bonus, bringing Mumbles up to 8.
4. Assault is DR 1. He gains a AP from the Pantheon to 'Oppose other Gods' He uses it to Aid another on Mumbles. This gives Mumbles a +1 Bonus, bringing him up to 8.
5. Finally, Mumbles spends 3 to Gain Divine Rank. This changes his base from DR 6 to DR 7.

Mumbles has a Divine Combat score at this point of 9.
Lukica has a Divine Combat score of 5.

This is just using DR, as I always hated the 'class levels matter' stuff. Jesters are Full-Casters in that case. And that allows him to add a Plus 20 to it for 'Going Nova'.

(1D6)[3] That is what I rolled. If it's a 5 or higher Mumbles wins. And Lukica will loose a DR. Lukica still has to roll.

SO are Assault and Battery both all tapped out?

Yes, infact Mumbles has 1 AP left for the week. >.> I guess you could go around destroying my stuff. But why would you go do that? Battery isn't even messing with you. You want to go after Assault if anything.

Then again, do you really want to deal with a Mumbles when you harm his child? I mean that is what the Twins are..his kids. Mumbles is pretty scary.

Also, I don't really attack anyone. Unless they attack me first >.>

The Ocean, Assault

Assault had wondered off from Battery. That might give the Kitsune from the ports a bit of a break, but the ocean becomes a dark and forbidding place.

Assault decided that the ocean needed more....combat. Holding his great angelic hands out he brings a pillar of water up. The water fell down quickly, however not before some creatures poured out of it.

First, a Long serpentine creatures flowed out of it. The creature's mouth bellowed out tempest winds and lightning when it opened it. The creature had what seemed like a set of wings on it's side but they had skin connecting them to the rest of the body.

These would be known as Sea Dragons.

Second, a creature bellowed out, bringing a great splash. The water around it creating several tidus that could sink great ships with little problems. This bulbous creature had a great maw able to engulf five or six ships all at once.

These would be soon known as the Great Whale.

Finally, the horrors would end, with the last great monster. The worst of the three. It measured as long as the ocean itself. Long arms stretched out from it's body. The arms searched for food. It's giant eye sealed shut. The only saving grace against such a horror. It's first action as it's great arms searched the oceans was to grab a Great Whale and pull it into it's center. The Great Whale was no more...eaten by this monster.

This..creature would be known as the Horror of the Sea.

Assault was happy. He had wrestling buddies. And not Battery...speaking of Battery.


(Assault has 2 AP, he spends them on Create Populous: 3 Monsters, Great Whale, Horror of the Sea, Sea Dragons)

Roberts was seriously getting annoyed. Once more the minons of Mumbles had assualted his soverigntry. And right after that bit with the Carnival tent!! And NOW, Now that braindead Scion of Madness had unleashed monsters far beyond his extremely limited understanding!

He fealt the Mavolence coming off the Sea Horror. And So could the Sleeping One! It, awakened by the threat to his people and the sea was getting ready to fight the invader to the deep. And Roberts wasn't entirly sure who would win. Enough was enough! He would Demand that Mumbles control his Scions and leave him and his alone. If Mubbles couldn't or wouldn't control them, well... Pirates had a great many ways of dealing with opponents...

Battery was last week IIRC.

But the other point would be that if Assault Battery have no AP, they can't directly help anything else that might befall...

And the Kitsune were mine. And a good deal of the Arkun were adopted into the Family.

And yet you still try to turn them into your evil clowns, or feed them to Sea dragons, or wreck their ships with sudden holes in the middle of the sea...

Besides, Mumbles can only be so scary to so many people at once...

Sorry for not posting the last few days. I had lots of RL things to take care of.

Speaking of RL issues, I most likely won't be able to post during 30.4.09 - 4.5.09, because I won't have internet access during this time.

Claire ci Vallé, Material Plane -on the Outskirts of the Forest of Illusions
She had waited too long. Announcing her conquest in advance had proven to be a mistake - giving the opposing gods enough time to prepare their defenses and even forcibly compel her very own soldiers to lay down their arms.

The First knew that she could not gain anything by renewing the Call to War, at least not at this time.

However, the conflict had quickly spread -even extending to the gods themselves. Claire had wanted to keep this matter to the mortals, but the present situation left her no choice.

"Soldiers - it seems that our mission has come to an end. Divine powers beyond mine have taken this struggle to the very heavens, and your abilities cannot hope to match the forces at work here.

Return to your homes, and guard them well -prepare for the upcoming chaos that will ravage this world. If I cannot convince the Lawless of Order, I shall at least prevent them from tainting my chosen people with their incessant lies."

Somewhat disappointed, the army turned and marched back towards Alexion. The demi-goddess took note of some that radiated arcane power, unlike the Lady's Gift yet similar to it all the same.

These...warlocks would have to be watched carefully to prevent them from causing any disorder within the lawful Lands.


Iura Ciel, Myalon
Iura focused, and rose in Rank yet again - she needed power for her plans, and trying to take souls from both Valkir's and Medea's watch would require certain finesse.

The Jester's offer would grant her an considerable ally; but the very thought of allying herself with Chaos made her feel sick and disgusted.
Nonetheless, she could not afford to disregard this opportunity, not at this time.

The Lady sent a ball of brilliant energy to Mumbles and warded Myalon against anyone but those authorized by herself - Noone should ever dare to tarnish the sanctuary she had created for the souls of her chosen.

Myalon, the Plane that Lives
The living plane had been given a specific task, and the self-appointed judge Valkir opposed it. Even though the blind judge had conceded some souls to Myalon, he still held a part of them captive - an insult impossible to bear.

Myalon moved close to the heavens and hells, opening countless portals within these planes - drawing the souls of Iura's believers away from these realms into itself.

Actions:

Iura has 6 AP. (3 from rollover, +3 from Faithpoints generated mostly by Claire)

She uses 3 AP to Raise Divine Rank(four actions to qualify: Create artifact(crown of leadership), create race(humans), Create Plane(Myalon), Create NPC god(Myalon)).

Iura is at DR 8 now.

She then uses 1 AP to Join Pantheon(Dark Carnival), and 2 AP to ]Lock Plane(Myalon). Now, anyone not authorized by Iura cannot enter Myalon, and you need at least DR 12 and a successful Rank Check to forcibly enter.

Final AP: 0/6

Claire pays 2 AP retroactively for the nourish on her army that some of you disliked. She then leads her army back to Alexion, recalls the divine rank from Isochet, and has 1 AP left.

Final AP: 1/5

Myalon plane shifts to a coexistent location of the heavens and hells, and uses 2 AP to Guide Populace(Believer's souls). The affected souls will enter Myalon.

Myalon then planeshifts back to a coexistent location of the Astral plane.

Final AP: 0/4

alright I've got 20 casting levels too, so they balance out
I have a DR of 5
I also have a Panethon, which includes Iura and Vorm. Unfortunately Vorm is mostly idle, and Iura has her own thing going on, though Valkir could jump in here, iirc the rules. Is Gatz automatically part of my panethon? or does he pay as well?
I figured I should roll on my own. I don't have time at this second to post my loss against you (probably) but I want this out of the way in case I'm doing something wrong

apparently I can't use the forum roller.
