@Hael Vula doesn't have enough Might to level up
Announcement of Milestone Might Bonus

As we have now reached our One Month Milestone, and are moving on to Turn 5, each god will receive a 6 Might bonus at the beginning of the next Turn.

I thought we established that time was relative? How else could normal mortals like Cherry Eater and Gerrik live across the spans of time that our gods are dealing with? Anyway, your use of 'probably' strikes me as interesting. Nobody has the slightest clue how long things take, or what time everyone's at in the IC, and even if they did each post would be dealing with its own timeframe. The entire RP is a time anomaly of 'probablys'.

Almost nobody uses time in a significant way, anyhow. The closest I can think of is the recent post about the Furl's evolution. Everyone else just throws in something like 'an untold time passed' or 'a great many eons stood still while X hung there in thought'. I don't see what the point of being fastidious about time is. It only becomes slightly relevant when people are controlling pure mortal characters, since apparently millennium can pass while gods have conversations.


Neither Cherry-Eater nor Gerrik are 'normal' humans. They are heroes and thus immortal (or at least, Gerrik will be a hero soon, Teknall is just slightly in the past). My use of 'probably' is a signal that we have not yet worked out the exact number, which we are now in the process of doing.
@Kho Seesh, that is a lot of responsibility.

Ok, I'd say the turn starts and the end of the Hain era, probably its last 1~ thousand years.
Humanoid Era, well, Notte mentions that by the time she was going to Jvan humans were already many generations down the road. Niciel's angels have similar posts.

I'd say overall we crossed 2~3 thousand years in the post. (The ending event being Toun's flood)
On my scale I will probably fuse Hain and Humanoid age together, the flood event really changed the way I was seeing the era.


We also need to take into account Ull'Yang's 'He condensed his divine essence, endlessly concentrating it inside his core. The process spanned a couple thousands of years, but that's of no importance to an ageless being such as a god.'

The creation of the Mahd River Valley also.

The developmens of Vestec's creatures in the Changing Plains.

The creation of Toun's White Ocean.

4000 years overall?
@Antarctic Termite you're into sciencey stuff, opinion?
@The Omnipotent Sphere @ArekTheAbsolute Guys, can you please check in as soon as you can? You've both been gone for well over two weeks without an prior warning.
@Kho Isn't that the point? The world is full of hain and slough creatures. Suddenly Notte.

Oh I see what you meant now. I can edit it to "short while" which is based more on his perspective than on numbers, but I will wait for Lugi.


Since you are the creator of the different periods, how long do you think has passed in this Turn so far?
@Muttonhawk 2 Might in total to teach programme Kaolokinesis into their minds and make them capable of using it. Mind you, this means that they can ONLY use that kind of magic, other forms of magic and basic magics are beyond them.
<Snipped quote by Kho>

Ah. I guess I misremembered how freepoints vs. might points worked for things like magic. I am about to head to sleep, so I'll be able to talk more tomorrow, but I'll at least give some response.

Toun intends to have the slave hain in particular learn kaolokinesis without teaching anyone else on the planet. Toun isn't giving every hain on Galbar this ability. This is a population of roughly 200-300 at this point, essentially hooked up to a hive mind with Toun at the centre now that Cornerstone has being built around them. They would be bestowed and taught how to use their new powers more intrusively than normal. I'm not sure if these parameters change anything about what I was trying to do but I would have no issue spending straight up might on it.

If the process has to be gradual with one might point, would two or three make it quick enough for use within, say, a few months, or a week? I've still got a few points spare.


I guess automatically 'embedding' or 'programming' magic into their minds is possible with an additional Might, and seeing as they are unthinking slave-hain, it's not much of an issue.
"Fine? I, madam, am ecstatic! I have been on this world but a few days, and within it have found so much deplorable ugliness that I had begun to lose hope in the providence of beauty..."

@Lugubrious This creates a Time anomaly. The interaction with TOBIA and the fibreling was probably tens/hundreds of thousands of years before humans got to Galbar and Notte set out on her mission.
@Rtron 'A giant, clawed, hand reached down and plucked one of the Brush Beasts up, and it's roaring terror was suddenly cut off by a crunch and sickening splatter sound as the parts that were not eaten landed on the ground.'

As Lugu pointed out, Brush Beasts are humungous. The picture you use for Grot suggests that he is about the same size as a Brush Beast, so you might want to edit. Unless the picture used is inaccurate scale-wise and Grot is in fact the size of Mt Everest.
