Welcome back, UnCO3! Lots of interesting things coming out of the end of this Age, so next Age should be fun. For real though, I hope everyone is ready for Faustus to try and dunk everyone's head into the Black Mirror just to see what comes out.

Ananke is already kinda straddling the line of benevolent/malevolent so I really wonder what she'd see in there. Ditto for Nochtli.

Julia snake-eyes: Sharon gets enough of her boss and engoddifies out of spite, goes and makes an alternative Halls of Judgment that is mostly the same just more chill and has booze and all the souls go there instead because Sharon is less anal about this whole judgment thing. Seriously though, I wonder if Julia's EVIL TWIN would be some chaotic god, or more of a darker, more actively tyrannical version of herself.

The latter, and they'd be -truly- dedicated to their work. Evil never rests, after all! (Evil also runs a way more efficient celestial bureaucracy, she'd say, sneering in Sharon's direction.) UnCO3 posted:Hey, it could happen to anyone. Sometimes they might even want it! I mean, there would have been no way of stopping Vhar from heading straight to the Black Mirror to get down on his hands and knees and stare into it... ... intent on headbutting the emerging face so hard there would be an out-of-season backwash.  For this, and many other reasons, are you guys lucky that UnCO3 chose to spare you The Challenger's presence.

We have our first Crisis! First Crises, actually, and unfortunately they’ve both affected TheFireMagi. A Crisis happens when a god’s reach exceeds their grasp, when their passions exceed their power. At the start of each Age I’ll roll d6s equal to the AP I give and total the results, then roll d6s equal to each god/demigod’s FP and total each one’s results as well. If the FP roll is higher than the AP roll (half the AP roll, rounded down, for demigods; three quarters for those in between gods and demigods), that god suffers a Crisis - their Apex goes out of control. Maybe it goes wild, or, in this case, enters a slump, or something else weirder happens. During a Crisis the afflicted god rolls 3d6 for each action and takes the lowest 2 results; they lose 1FP per action; and the Crisis continues until the end of the Age or until they have 0FP. Anyone who attempts an action that relies on the god's Apex being present and under control must also roll 3d6 and take the lowest 2 results. In this case, anything that involves major mortal ambitions or inventions will take that hit. Note that this doesn't get rid of any of the god's FP. Anyone can try to help or hinder a god - adding or removing 1FP is a difficulty 9 action. As Crises go, these are relatively benign - the world’s unnaturally stagnating, sure, but things could be so much worse. We also have some prayers to demigods. As these demigods are all PC-created, I'll let the relevant people request how their demigod should handle things (they'll probably follow your orders).

I am so strangely happy right now. I wanted to know what happened when FP was stockpiled? Well, I found out! Things could be worse though! In fact, there's an incredibly high probability of that happening with the potential war on the horizon alone, let alone all the other nasty business. Should be a good time. I believe Nochtli and I should be at 7 AP though, since we answered a prayer at the end of Age 2? Also, I don't think you put in when Age 3 is going to end unless I missed it, which is entirely possible!

Actually, updated projections: Age 3 ends 10/12/16, midnight (GMT) Age 4 ends 15/12/16, midnight (GMT) Age 5 ends 22/12/16, midnight (GMT) So Ages 3 and 4 cover 5 days each, and Age 5 is a full week. No 'Last Days' period, but we'll still get 5 centuries (and I'm guessing the last Age will be pretty busy anyway).

How much do we know about the "new" gods? Are they characters with preset personalities or are they things we can play around with in our posts?

You mean Glister and Ferolian? They both have (rough) personalities, but if you have an idea, PM me.

Also, gotta say, I'm pretty amused at how well the Crises dovetailed with some of the prayers. "Gooood, help me! I can't bring myself to solve my own problems!" actually makes more sense than it usually does.

UnCO3 posted:That would just be gilding the lily, or whatever the opposite version of that is. Burning the lily and shoving the ashes into an incinerator, probably. Anyway, I'm at little curious. Can a god affected by a Crisis try to help themselves with a DC 9 action, and thus potentially lose 2 FP an action at the cost of (at a minimum) only 1 AP? Odds won't be in their favor, but some might want to go for it. Also, can the afflicted god actually call on their Apex still with AP, like normal, or is it borked and unusable until fixed?

A god can try to fix their own Crisis, and they can still use their Apex even during a Crisis. The results won't be as great as they normally would be, but it's not mechanically prohibited.

Looking for some more god bones to boost your ninja's item level? I'll post once I've figured out what kind of story to tell in this stagnant world.

Some comments on some of the poo poo going down: Theantero, are you actively trying to get me to make your demigods act on Hunger Iron Chef, NPC stats and such are in the character list in the first post. Glister's a full-fledged god with Primals of Desire and Dreams, and an Apex of Illusion. He/she also has Hungers of Greed and Wonder. I've added a Hunger to Ferolian's sheet that should have been there already, and also updated Galarian's sheet a little.

UnCO3 posted:Some comments on some of the poo poo going down: No, but I will not be opposed to them doing that either. Of course, I'd rather they not leave spare AP lying about at the end of the Age either, so if they can achieve what they need to without excess hunger that would be swell. Julia tolerates no slacking after all

Nochtli clumsily paws about his chest until he finds a hidden zipper. He pulls it down, revealing a group of 12 incredibly obese men standing on each other's shoulders. Benny Hill begins playing off in the background.

Incidentally, can I lift a devil into a Demigod of Purity (they are all about burning away all that pesky corruption after all) with Judgment?

Ahw, thanks. I'm enjoying how he turned out too. BTW, Fathis Munk, do you mind if I have Galarian know that the Dean was in fact a goddess? Not that he's gonna spread it around. But poor Ilindra might appreciate knowing she never actually failed.

As a respone to a sort-of question I got via PM: Regular Homo automata get recycled through the cycle of life/the horrible maw of the Bog, unless Julia/Theantero objects. The Scion of Stonehallow is a special case who's horribly warped by everything that's happened. They've got its own beast-human-alien mind. By default it'll go to Julia's Halls... if it dies.

UnCO3 posted:As a respone to a sort-of question I got via PM: If they are human enough to have a soul, said souls go through th Halls and Julia will fight to make it so (certainly, Nochtli could just ask to have them, in which case their destination after Judgment would most likely be the Bog). But if they are more beast than man, and have no such soul to speak of? Then they are outside of Julia's jurisdiction.
