Awesome. So we figured out how to create a deity. We really, really went full overachiever on this one. Welp. The client did ask for a religion.  Grey Hunter posted:Now we must deal with the ban on Asherans in the city. C. Take out those who most fervently support/participate in oppressing Asherans. The Hurnists publicly threatened violence IIRC, and there was that attack on our priests. Hit back in turn, but don't escalate yet.

E (meanwhile, in the library). Start researching how to convert souls into raw mana to fuel spells beyond what the mana well is capable of.

This seems like the way to do it They'll probably counter attack. We get a bunch of souls, do some reincarnation to cement the new religious tenets, and then escalate if we need.

We should do this for the assholes/troublemakers. If Asherah is cool with it of course. poo poo. Should we convert and maybe become the Lucifer to his Yaweh (before their falling out) or however the gently caress that works? *magical teleconference with client*  So I think we're on track to achieve what you contracted. We'll likely need a few more months for Asherism to spread, but we'll get there. Also I'm teleporting one of these seashells over to you, be sure to keep it on hand and start wearing it under your kingly garb or whatever before the war starts. Fancy. What's with the shell, and why are you wearing one too? Oh, yeah so Asherah is a real God now. The seashell is his symbol, wearing one when you die lets you through to his afterlife, lets you reincarnate if you want. Funny story, I'm kind of his fixer now.  Have a bonus.

This, sweet gently caress Irwin alone will be loving lethal with the blessings we've bestowed upon him and the new lease on life he's been given. A rogue with a lifetime of experience stuffed in a powerful body with natural toxin production... Just drat. He hasn't been given a chance to truly shine yet, this could be it. Blasphemaster posted:Really looking forward to the "So which one of us is in charge?" moment. Same. That's going to be an interesting conversation.

Why don't we worship Asherah and see what buffs we get as a result? And then since Asherah is our creation and draws power from us, maybe he'll get buffer too. And then his increased buffness leads to bigger buffs for his worshippers, including ourself... A wondrous perpetual motion buff machine!

I really appreciate how legit this religion is. Sarga could have just pushed out some half-assed cult thing that doesn't work, but here we are with a physical demigod, reincarnation, self-sustaining doctrine, and barely any wanton slaughter or destruction.

The best part is that organized religions have historically with very, very few exceptions universally developed as tools for social control, and we're no different. We're just a lot more subtle about it.

We're probably more than ready to let the Emperor take over. Our employers have a religion willing to support their war and a sort of pseudo-immortality through reincarnation as a sweet bonus.

The younger generations are getting the short end on this one. "When I was your age we respected our elders and weren't our elders' elders come back from the dead to continue telling us how much of a disappointment we are."

I'm sure Ash will be fine playing along until it's the Emperor's turn to go for a swim. Then bam, full on cannibal king!

I hope we don't get in trouble with any gods over this. Like Asherah for example, he seems like a hard rear end.

Why don't we start investing in magical gear and such? Bad Tidings and the Manapool are great, but we could do with some more protective gear for ourself, maybe some equipment for our more capable minions? IIRC, the wealth limit is on liquid assets. Let's improve the manapool and hoard some +# Blanks of Blank or whatever, ostensibly on hand for emergency equipment for the rank and file.

Speaking of, how is our Manapool after that little snafu creating a god? I'm assuming it's drained, but is it still, ya know, in one piece?
