[color=Aquamarine]“First the outer walls and duct lines…”[/color] Guul was, as always, more focused on the task than the other two of three. [color=YellowGreen]“This isn’t some major philosophical quandary, although you have trouble with those so I suppose it makes sense you would struggle even here.”[/color] A replying harumph was all Kiim needed to continue over any objection, [color=YellowGreen]“It is quite simple, we display a matter of Divine will and power, a promised land to which a selected group can be carefully guided towards more right minded thinking while keeping them safe, ensuring the prosperity of Thaa’s ideals!”[/color] [color=Teal]”It would still be much simpler to burn a city or two and dictate to the survivors…”[/color] [color=Aquamarine]“...the notable towers and gates facing the four cardinal directions, inner walls and ducts back to the central point…”[/color] Explosively speaking, [color=YellowGreen]”And would completely not serve the point! Even if short term the souls would be saved in the long term a philosophy enforced by force would again antipathy beyond normative reason!”[/color] [color=Teal]”Why do we bother convincing so many? A few diseases, some droughts and curses, we could bring down half a continent if tried on our own, all these little plans never seem to work out very much.”[/color] [color=YellowGreen]”That’s because a little subtlety is beyond you as it becomes ever more apparent. Quiet down and maybe we can go unleash a blight somewhere I suppose.”[/color] [color=Aquamarine]”...central chamber of blessed water to fill ducts when sluices are opened at appropriate levels, infrastructure for the city…”[/color] [color=Teal]”You’re just trying to play me off, you’re not that subtle yourself you overgrown puppet.”[/color] Truly getting work done was actually somewhat easier with one head instead of three as it sometimes did occur to Guul. Shaping the city below, near a river with good access to trade routes, tribal populations and of course the alluvial plain. Now the defenses and ensuring everything was to specification that was a bit more… ...magical. [color=YellowGreen]”Puppet am I? You’re a child, lashing out at his parent because he can’t stand to be the same, I can at least see good sense and agree when a good point is made.”[/color] The mists bellowed out around the tower, death energies setting into the land itself and spread out from the newly arisen city, it was a careful guided energy. Guided with purpose beyond the avatar’s direction even as control ultimate came to them. The mists would target whoever was chosen, by Thaa, by The Three, or by the soon to arrive Dragon. A very strong protection against any attempt at siege, one that most mortals were by far ill-equipped to even conceive to defend themselves. A clever enough plan to protect a burgeoning haven as it was to be, a good place for good people was the thought as Thaa said. [color=Teal]”Agree-agree,”[/color] Sing-song mockery was well know by Jaav to be the height of argument, [color=Teal]”you don’t have an independent thought in the entire stretch of you, whenever you do something its radiates unoriginality.”[/color] [color=YellowGreen]”You’re addled, its probably all those bits of life you insist on eating so much, I’d said you’re as dumb as a rock but even life knows not to eat them, most of the time at least.”[/color] [color=Teal]”THAT WAS ONE TIME AND YOU KNOW IT!”[/color] A flight of birds from some nearby trees gave Jaav pause and lowered his voice as he replied, [color=Teal]”Its not my fault it looked like an egg.”[/color] [color=YellowGreen]”It was by a river, why would you think it was an egg?”[/color] [color=Teal]”Some creatures lay eggs by water…”[/color]Jaav trailed off as he noticed they were leaving the area. [color=Teal]”Hey Guul, we done?”[/color] [color=Aquamarine]“I want to go to Mydia. I think I will try painting.”[/color] [color=YellowGreen]”Huh, okay then.[/color] And they were finally quiet. For at least an hour. [hider=Summary]Guul makes a cool city with cool stuff for Cool Sigerans and Friends while Jaav and Kiim bicker over things. They then decide, by Guul deciding, to go to Mydia. Guul wants to paint.[/hider] [hider=MP Summary][color=Fuchsia]Thaa Start: 5 MP 5 DP -3 DP, [b]Baleful Mists III:[/b] This locale is surrounded by unnatural mists that being in the mere presence of will cause unwanted intruders to gradually sicken and die. The mists attack the life of anything deemed unwanted, those who flee in good time may still find themselves ill or living out a shorter life due to the damage inflicted. These mists are essentially manifestations of a local suffusion of death energies, however ones that are guided to target only the unwanted lives present. These mists are targeted and controlled by Thaa or his representatives on Galbar, Avatars, Heroes and Artifact Holders granted power over the mists by the Lord of Death. -2 MP, [b]Wellspring II:[/b] The Well-spring of Sweet Water generates an amount of freshwater within itself sufficient to supply the needs of some hundreds of persons each day. The Well-spring will continue to generate the water till filling the pool that it rests in, of a size that the same population would use in a week. Most notably is this water remains fresh water and free of any mundane growth or infection as long as it remains in the pool. Once the pool is filled, the Well-spring stops generating fresh water, until some amount of water is taken from the pool. -3 MP, Make City and Surround Infrastructure of some complexity Thaa End: 0 MP, 2 DP[/color][/hider]
