A Strange World :: Civilization's Dawn (OOC/Signup)

[The GAmeTopians]

Well you specifically mention that the hearts of the trees around her are open to her, and trees in a tundra are particularly resilient not just in their bark but all throughout, to deal with the low temperatures and extremely short growing season. I could also see this resiliency granting her at least a slightly bolstered rate of recovery, considering the name being "Resiliency" (The dictionary definition is "the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties" )

Yes, yes, but we're not talking about "blood replaced with sap, hair as leaves" being the tree. I mentioned skin like bark specifically so the Dao had an easily comprehensible and concrete effect, instead of being generalized.

Fair enough. But with the power of google, the main cause of death in childbirth is hemorrhaging post-partum, and improved skin could certainly possess greater ability to recover and prevent the excessive hemorrhaging.

An interesting thought, but not really one we want to carry to its logical conclusion. Otherwise the Dao of Resilience would kill its practitioners when their lungs hardened and could no longer absorb oxygen. It’s better to leave it as a contained “stoneskin” idea.

Hemorrhaging isn't through the lungs in this case...

[Ralnis]

So are my workers sick, weakened and got to take a turn away form soul-sucking shrine, or what?

[Holy Tedalonia]

So are my workers sick, weakened and got to take a turn away form soul-sucking shrine, or what?

If the shrine is indiscriminately sucking souls, then I would expect that to be the cause of you right worker problem.

[Ralnis]

I'm guessing it's an offering thing to energize it, I will have to consult the Dead to find out what just happened.

I’m well aware- my point is that having the Dao very particularly target internal tissues that would be useful but not internal tissues where it wouldn’t be useful seems a touch silly. That’s a metal amount of magical control for someone who just learned anything about the Dao.

So are my workers sick, weakened and got to take a turn away form soul-sucking shrine, or what?

I don’t believe I mentioned anything about your workers being permanently weakened, did I?

You have a point. I suppose I'll have to take the crippling loss

[Ralnis]

No, just kind of jump the gun. It seems I need to watch out for my shrine as it has spoopy things about it.

At the moment, nobody understands it. There’s nothing at all preventing you from rediscovering it.

[Turkducken]

Hey is there an app or anything or is this closed?

[Kelmet]

I know we have to be specific and all, but it is assumed I was harvesting barley to transplant into my irrigated farm right?

And was I on the right track using bellows and coal for the furnace?

Yep yep, that all looks good.

Oh thank god, I though I was going to get stuck with a wasted year.

[The Federation of Kendor]

Is this already a new update or still Saturday's year. Because I haven't posted

So, to inform you all, I am going to have a mid test and entrance test from 17-27 September? So expect no post, or if I can post, no story to it until after the mid test finishes

Hear, hear!

[Holy Tedalonia]

So will a post come out today? I don't mind waiting, just curious.

Also what exactly is the extent of runes? I was hoping they could be used for making magical armor, but if it keeps decaying, it doesn't make good gear.

[The GAmeTopians]

Mine should hopefully go up in the next couple hours, sorry for the delay.

I was thinking of trying to mix necromancy with writing in order to make tomes, power words and artifacts that can help record history of the Dead, summon and teach other generations easier.
