The Wayfarers, having achieved their conquest, begin crafting clever illusions to misdirect the destruction hostile gods might rain down upon their volcanic cities. Meanwhile, a large hunting party moves its way to the south, and Celios sends an emissary to Grotar.
"Earth-shaker! We are sending an expedition to hunt the beasts that prowl the open seas. In exchange for your non-interference, I have tamed the wild lands in your westernmost settlement."
Even as the messenger speaks, the jungles dry up and become less wild--and a nearby jungle is sunk into the ocean, all the better for the Wayfarer fleet to embark into the great blue oceans to the south.

Rectifying an old mistake. Way back in turn 4, I accidentally did: Buy: Religion +4 (5), Armour 2 (6), Weapons 1 (7). This has screwed up my advancement costs ever since. Right now, I have 40 advancements (Survival 7 Religion 8 Agriculture 5 Armour 6 Weapons 10 Seafaring 4). I will start counting my advancement costs (with discovery) from 40 (40/2 = 20).

RP:
The acceleration of Grasvolk military might is frightening: Granted a brief respite of peace and prosperity, they dispense with a physical foundation for their weapons at all, and channel now the pure, living embodiment of their god's power, and that of life itself, into runic wands that can exude the power to form any weapon that is necessary.
And they use this power.
Grasvolk raiders assault the Earth Shaker's domain along Eastern Shores, using the advantages of their swift ships to blitz two separate settlements. Meanwhile, the Orc Lord's armies that attack Darjuu's domains are subjected to the wrath of Fraemaour realized in the power of the Earth. Like in earlier ages, the plant life of Darjuu's barren wastes come alive to realize bloody vengeance upon the Goblins. Cacti, however, are the main forms of attack this time, as a horrifying march of barbed plants first surround, and then crush beneath razor-sharp spikes, the pinned warriors of Grotar. The sands turn rusty, inundated with the crimson runoff of the massacre.
But the act of intervention is not one of beneficience. No, it is an act of war, "Darjuu, this world brokers no mercy for weakness and folly. Alas, for an Enlightened one, your wisdom has sorely lacked: I, and my vassal, have extended the olive branch of peace to you. You have spurred our advances, and now we make war where once there was peace. A pity, for your people are a kindly one, and my Grasvolk shall mourn their passing from the world."
"Iazamaz, conquer. Darjuu's lands are yours, and if he resists, I shall exterminate him to the man. He has no place in this world if he does not flee your sight."
"As for you, Orc: I have dealt with your Goblin minions before, but yours is an aggression that even Mogar, the Broodsow, did not have. But perhaps you also have foresight which she so sorely lacked: Content yourself with peace and it shall be granted to you. Darjuu's domains are my vassal's to claim, not yours, and these lands which I shall assuredly conquer are now mine, and shall reman so in perpetuity. Pursue your war with the Syphinx - I care not, nor shall I intervene against your action against him - but the holdings of my vassal you shall not imperil.
"Spurn this treaty at your own loss. I've the might to destroy you pitiful ease. Let your aggressions march West, for if they turn South, you shall fall."

the mood is grim and there are few smiles over in the eastern mountains. The monks are grim as they scale the peaks of the mountain range, converging on a single point.
Iazamaz visits Fraemaour once more, now in his true form, or so to speak.
"My lord. i beg of you. Give the God Darjuu one more cycle to respond.I am unprepared for such war."
The sound of horns echo from all settlements controlled by Iazamaz.
It is a hollow, bitter, empty sound.
He-Who-Gives-Life-to-the-Land is less than pleased.
"Not all battles can be held off, and opportunities wasted are a loss. You have failed me, Iazamaz, and must show yourself worthy upon the next cycle of the world.
"The damage is done. Prepare. Darjuu now knows our plans. You've till the next turn, or I shall give Grotar free rein to take those lands, or perhaps I shall conquer them out of necessity."

Darjuu grew violent like a raging storm. "Grotar! Leave my Children be or this shall be your fate!" The clouds above the armies of goblins began to swirl and grow dark. As they gained strength, three cyclones descended from the sky and engulfed a vast number of the little beasts. When they faded to nothingness, not a single sign of the goblins engulfed remained.

Turn 13 Begins
A distaste for miscegenation and cohabitation compels the Lord on High to act to curb the diversity of peoples below:
"How bothersome is it for the peoples of this world to be subject to control of a foreign god! Let it be so: That no god may ever again command another's kind, and upon conquest, the population shall be replaced rather than assimilated."
RULE CHANGE: You no longer gain armies of another race when conquering a tile. The population shifts and becomes populations of your type. The map has been updated to reflect this.
Alosvalophos: God of the Far-Right, clearly!
"The time of the Gateway has arrived. Shortcuts to Eastern Lands are now available. Make use of them, ye gods. I favour the bold and look kindly upon the daring!"
Clarification: You may elect, or may elect not to, warp to the locations if you land forces/settlers in the warp areas.

Iazamaz prepares to send his warriors into war. He blesses them once more, so they will be the walls and the floors of the land they step into, invisible, ever changing, like water. shapeless, formless, a rather fitting end for a god like Dajuu to meet."monks... No. You are no longer protectors. You are warriors. You are Shinobi.You know what you must do."
iazamaz goes to war.

Turn summary will come tonight when I come back from work. However, RP to explain things:
RP:
The world is granted a boon by He-Who-Gives-Life-to-the-Land. Summoning the immense energies of his fecundity, and harnessing the blessings of the World Tree, Fraemaour casts his power liberally across the world that all might prosper.
"My fellow gods, I have seen fit to grant unto all of you a boon that my people might grow as well. Use my gift wisely and prosper."
Yet that is not all that Fraemaour contends with this Cycle. No, he has an enemy to placcate, and a danegeld to pay.
"Earth Shaker, Orc Lord!" calls Fraemaour from across the skies. "Accept my Grasvolk wisemen to teach your Goblin kin and these barrels of my medd to satisfy your thrist. I have evacuated my conquests along the Eastern Isles as well, that you might retain them. In return for this, I demand a pledge of non-aggression against Iazamaz as long as I declare it enforced, non-interference in Darjuu, and peace with me for 2 cycles of the world. If you do not accept, then you have declared war upon me."
OOC: More to come when I come home.

It is unclear whether this is the continued work of Celios, or simply the result of the dynamo he has set in motion, but the lands of the Western Continent, once relatively verdant and peaceful, continue to dry up at an alarming rate. Magma flow is common, and the toxic fumes of so much molten rock spread across the Wayfarers' lands, polluting the plantlife--those that do not wither and die twist and become strange new mutations.
The Wayfarers themselves continue to spread throughout the land in their endless quest for novel experiences--they evidently find a satisfactory outlet in the crafting of illusions to deceive their foes. Armies they encounter on the field often find that they are fighting apparitions rather than creatures of flesh and bone: the Ghosts of the Western Continent.

The goblin tribes lurking in the western lands take to the sea, hunting mermaids with harpoons and battle cries!
In the east, the forces of Grotar work feverishly. Word of the New World to the west draws more explorers, and cities celebrate the flow of silver snd slaves coming from the victories there. New fleets sail to the goblin outpost, while the Conquistadors already there face counterattacks from angry natives. In one outpost, defenses are prepared to slaughter the native attackers, while in the second, so recently taken, an approaching army of aboriginals is swallowed up by a massive earthquake. Taking this as divine inspiration, conquistador armies, buoyed by enslaved native soldiers, rush out to spread the Word of Grotar to the benighted natives in their quaint, peaceful cities.
Toward the south, the priests of Grotar flog the warlords into pausing their assaults on the pathetic cities, and armies turn to retake that what was stolen. Grotar replies to the emissary of Celios, messages authored in tumbling stones and cracked earth, "I find your offer acceptable. In return for adjusting those lands, I shall ensure that none of your hunters in the western and southern seas are troubled by my slaves. There is prey enough for both of us there." And to the god of grass, the stones speak, "Grotar accepts your tribute, and your terms. You shall have your peace, and my slaves will leave their blades unstained as you ask... so long as your shapeless mush of a vassal deity or his goopy followers trouble me not, nor his worthless, mewling prey or the prey's droning, tedious servants."
Darjuu receives a less amiable reply, cruel laughter and "Come and get me, if you dare. My slaves are not made so that they melt in the rain. But perhaps you should throw a few buckets at your southern border, fool godling, before your rains dry up."

Grotar:
Utatnaphor kills without loss at M4. +21 points for Utatnaphor and a tile of 1 population.
Edit: Paizo screwed up for me. Isaw my mistake here and put the other armies from this. However, paizo erased my post and I can't back the totals. The results of the edits were Grotar killed 1 of Uta's guys.
Combat at N3 v. the 1 force left behind from the retreat.
Utatnaphor:
Grotar:
Utatnaphor kills without loss at N3. +3 points for Uta.

Darjuu: +3 points. Iazamaz: +6 points.
The map will now be updated.
Fraemaour
I6 was never terrain altered.
Grotar
L3 is 2, not 3, pop. Well, before +1 to everything. Nevermind!
Iazamaz
You have religion +6, not religion +5
Also, you can't jump two tiles to attack Darjuu. You have to use inspire army. I am casting it for you so I don't have to mess with the map again. Next time, don't do it.
I am taking all your remaining power for that as a penalty.
Also, please write a turn summary as I said last turn. It makes it extremely difficult to change the map to accomodate your turn if you do not give me something easy to go by.
Thanks.
More updates to the map to come. I've Utat and Celios to finish up and then the new turn will start.
Celios
B5 is 5, not 6, as it was 3 beforehand + growth + bounty.
Ditto with several others. Double check for me to be sure, but I think you misread your pop totals on a few tiles.
Turn 14 Begins
Heaven is silent. An evil omen?
Last Turn Advantage Modifier:

2. +30 power.
3. +25 power.
4. +20 power.
5. +0 power.
6. -20 power.

Power Roll: + 157 religion + 1 last turn + 35 First = 210 Power
Science: 57 (19 volcanic settlements) + 12 last turn = 69
NB. since I screwed up population counts last turn I definitely had less than 24 science remaining. The number was definitely more than 12 but I figured I'd deduct 12 from myself for screwing up and also so I don't have to actually recalculate last turn.

The Wayfarers continue their maritime hunting expeditions, and the ranks of their armies swell and move towards their expanding borders. The desiccation and corruption of the land has slowed, for now, but who can say when the fiery trickster god will grow tired of these strange new wetlands his people have claimed? Perhaps the entire western continent will be a fiery waste ere the age is through.
For Warlord. This turn will be considered processed last for the sake of last turn advantage modifier, absent any sort of bonus/disadvantage.
- remember, Warlord, I changed it so gods kept their max dice roll + 61 power = 70 power + 33 from religion = 103.
Okay. Good amount of stuff!
Currently, I have 24 advancements. That means with discovery, my advancement costs are /2 and begin at 12.

Obnoxious Correction
Well kiss my butt in Macy's window, I forgot one more thing with Grotar v. Utatnaphor:
Grotar was on Wetlands.
This means he has +1/+1. Sadly, this was also the square in wihch Paizo ate my post, destroying my capacity to keep a record of the roll.
Ugh.
I have to redo the combat. My apologies to both combatants, but this nullifies the previous roll. Depending on the results, I will consider how to make amends for this. My apologies again.
Utanaphor has weapons and armour +7, Grotar has weapons +2 and armour +4.
Grotar has +2 armies from the retreat and +1/+1 from Wetlands. This means he has weapons +3 and armour +5 for this round of combat. 2 + 5 = = 7 9 - 5 = 4. 5 and above kill.
Uta:
Gro:
Uta kills 7, Grotar kills 3.
Round 2:

Uta kills 4, Grotar kills 1.

Uta kills 9 of 9 +27 points (+6 points updated).
Uta conquers that tile with 3 armies now.
+5 power to Uta to accomodate the inconvenience of this as he got the short-stick on this. Not like he needs it! (Mr. nearly 300 power in reserve.)

The glorious goblin whaling fleets seek larger prey in the southern seas! They are joined my more explorers from those distant cities, linked by magic warps.
In the east, guided by their odd tutors, the forge-masters turn their production into overdrive. Black smoke of goblin forges churn out thick armor for use in the war against the natives of the New World.
In that new world, bloody-minded warlords raise fresh armies of conquistadors, attracted by easy living supported the multitude of native slaves, and seek fresh lands to bring under their banners. The earth shakes under the might of his armies, despite the native offensive that - at great cost - overwhelmed their initial seat of power. Boats take to the sea in an effort to reclaim it, and armies pour forth from conquered, hellish cities to bring the Word of Grotar to the unenlightened natives.
Whoops, my new pop total is 118.
Also, I can't smite I4 because of that protection domain (there wasn't a settlement on the map when I posted). This leaves me with 11 power remaining, not 4.

Fire swells up from the ground in the cities of the Sphinx, attacking the interlopers and burning them to ash. Armies are raised with surprising quickness, marching on the foul foe. Learning from the beatings their armies have taken, the Lords commission new, better armor for their troops, hoping to stem the tide of goblins.
20 power from moving 4th + 195 from religion + = 242.
15 science + 3 = 18.
The nitty grits:
Cast OBLITERATE on J3. Cost: 3 + 20 = 23.
Cast OBLITERATE again on J3. Cost: 3 + 20 = 23.
ONE MORE TIME: Cast OBLITERATE on J3. Cost: 3 + 20 = 23
69 power together.
173
The result of obliterate should be to destroy the settlement (sorry Grotar) and kill 48/2 = 24/2 = 12/2 = 6 all but 6 of Uta's armies.
MOVE the 2GV armies from F5 and 3GV armies from H5 to G3.
Then INSPIRE FORCES on that combined army of 5GV at G3 (cost 10 + 2 = 12).
161 left.
Split the army so that:
1 goes off to G1 (through F2 electing not to warp) to ATTACK the undefended settlement.
1 army goes off to G2.
The remaining 3 armies ATTACK H2.
CREATE ARMIES: 7/3 = 4 + 1 (scrub) = 5 at a cost of 5 (hills) at H6.

CREATE ARMIES: 5/2 = 3 + 1 (scrub) = 4 at a cost of 4 (hills) at G6.

CREATE 3x ARMIES at I6. Cost: 6.
146.
Move 12 GV armies from H6 to H5, all 7 armies from I6 to H5, and 11 armies from G6 to H5.
Cast INSPIRE FORCES on this combined army of 30 GV armies. Cost: 10 = 1 = 11.
135.
Now split the army after the following:
10 ATTACK H4.
10 ATTACk I5.
10 attack H3 (through G4).
SMITE the 6x armies from Uta attacking J2. 4 + 7 = 11 * 6 = 66.
69 power left (giggity).
SMITE the 3x armies from Uta attacking L4. 3 + 7 = 10 * 3 = 30.

RP:
Carried aloft on stratospheric gales from distant lands, a sky-blackening swarm of vegetative pods at last descend over the armies of Utatnaphor and Grotar. As the air pressure increases with their descent and warms them, they burst and release a steaming liquid that becomes an aerosol mere feet above the ground. Within moments, the ground is swamped with a pea-soup coloured fog, within which is nothing less than agony and terror.
The mist is a blistering agent of terrible efficacy. Within mere seconds of exposure the most vulnerable areas of the body--the eyes, the nose, the ears, the mouth--are beset with the howling agony of enormous pustules that do not even grant the mercy of death by choking, but pop with scalding liquid so that asphyxiation is never achieved. The skin follows soon thereafter--protected or unprotected, it matters not--as flesh is first boiled, then liquified, by the terrible toxin unleashed. Only after minutes of this does the pain finally cause death, by which time even the muscle tissue underneath began to be assaulted, such that the corpses that laid strewn across the land--hundreds of thousands of Syphinx and Goblins--are mangled masses of gooey flesh.
Not a single man is spared this gruesome fate in the area of strongest attack (J2). In other areas, the winds work to restrict the chemical assault to only the armies of the Syphinx, saving the Goblin by the divine intervention of Fraemaour.
"Utatnaphor," calls Fraemaour, "it is the way of the world that I ally with Grotar to destroy you. I would beg your pardon, but I would not insult you through false apologies. Instead, I shall pronounce: vae victis.
"I shall not pursue you as you shall no longer be a threat to me. Depart from these Northern Lands."
"As for you, Grotar: I offer you a weregeld for those who were victims of the assault amongst your ranks. This should pay for the goblin lives sufficiently, I assume? Nay - I am even more generous. Take these volcanoes that you might need no longer my knowledge, but instead learn from the fiery earth yourself."
Grotar responds, "A fair price for the lives of those puny slaves. I accept."
"Most superb," responds Fraemaour as he eyes the destruction he wrought and the destruction still to come from the armies of Grotar.
"Celios," calls the god through the trumpets of the grass. "I have 25 barrels of medd to the same of your fire water, to be delivered on the next cycle, if Grotar's hordes emerge victorious but for in the far North where they face twenty legions.
"Do we have a wager?"
OOC: 25 power if Grotar conquers the other lands, but fails to conquer J1.
Celios, the Flame of Enlightenment
The trickster god responds in a voice from an illusory flame: "You offer a risky wager, Lifegiver, but I am prepared to accept. And either way we shall both drink deep of the chaos in the Northern Continent."
Iazamaz oversees the destruction of the world, bitter and sorrowful as war wages on. The deaths, the killing. the terrible atrocity. it is simply too much for the god. The gods speaks to the rest of the pantheon, bitter and angry
"say you so that the world was once in peace, now it faces nothing but war. I myself have soaked my hands in the blood of the innocent. It is too much. too much to for me to bear. Your tear each other at the flesh and rend each other with terrible war. Bitter. Bitter am I. weary of the conflict cruel irony of which you dance in. I myself am no different. My peacekeeper are nothing but murderers. IF THE NEW WORLD IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR, SO BE IT.BUT I WILL NO LONGER PARTAKE OF THIS MADNESS." Iazamaz falls silent, then continues
" perhaps you will all be content with the ruins of a world."
He vanishes, giving no time to for the others to reply.
He reappears to his people, much darker than usual, his face slowly melting.
"my people" He begins.
"For too long have I allowed all of you to fall under more powerful beings. Foolish was I think that there would be hope for peace.The air is filled with ash much thicker than that of our native lands.Our patrons crush and trample those who seek to uproot them. and we too, take the live of those who oppose us. no more.NO MORE I SAY FOR TODAY WE SHALL NOT TAKE PART IN ANY OF IT"
He smiles, bitterly.
"Ashes,flesh to dust
Fills the air of which we breathe
Our lungs burn likewise"
The ethereals are silent but for a moment, then they start a song on their instruments. A solemn song, the notes hang bitter, and sorrowful. It is not a song one can describe easily. It is many songs, the songs of the cultists, the sphnixes,the wayfarers,the minoans, the Velmoru and grasvolks and even those civilsations that have left before the ethereals, the goblins, and orizaba. It is mant songs, yet no song in particular.It rises to cresendo then stops. All is silent, and the ethereals are no more

Updates to the map coming slowly but surely.
Turn half-updated. I will do the rest later on, as I have to go to sleep for work in the afternoon.
I will be querying whether some of our players might be dropping, too.
I'll be back this evening to finish the map.
Okay. Finishing map now.
I think everything is correct now. Tell me if anything is lacking!
Turn 15 begins!
As we have five players left:
1. +20.
2. +10.
3. -10.
4. -20.
5. -30.
If Uta drops, the game will likely end, sooo...yes.
More NPC-y action!
The depths churned with an unearthly, abyssal might--maelstroms form cliff-sides amidst the sea-surface, and tsunami consume stray isles. The time has at last arrived. The sea god shall
"Arise, o! Leviathan! Once you were a god, a thing of blood and wood - Itzpapalotl. Now you are a glory of the water itself, Great Tyrant of the Waters! Majesty of Might!"
The beast is a monstrosity the likes of which the world has never seen. Breeching the waters, it massive form briefly blots out the sun before smashing the waters with such bulk that the oceans shudder from the injury so inflicted upon their surface. Miles long and covered in an inky ichor slickening the surface of a thick, horny carapace surrounding a muscled, whip-like body, terminating in a jutting jaw lined with ten thousand rows of man-high teeth, it resembles the abominable combination of a sea-turtle, whale, shark, and sea-dragon combined. Were it not for its bulk, such a description would be impossible for nothing in the natural world dares to defy its might, nor draws closer than ten miles from it.
NPC: The Leviathan arrives on the scene. The Leviathan is worth 50 points to kill, but it shall be massively difficult to do. It has 15 armies with war and all gods will face it at kill on 6, die on 2. It is also immune to miracles. Moreover, if the players do not kill it by the end of the game, each player will be penalized a loss of points between 50 and 20 as determined by dice roll.
"I can abide this no more!" shouts Attiliax with a voice that echoes in the shattering blast of his descent to the world below. In rebellion to his fathers wishes, he shall proceed to the world of gods and mortals to do war with the Black Vizier who has angered him so!
His appearance is that of a giant, stone soldier sat atop a chariot driven by a legion of Centaur warriors, and accompanied by a cohort of his brother celestial sons. Their massive forms are yet dwarfed by the great Leviathan, and yet their majesty is a terror to behold, endowed as they are with the cosmic power of the Overgod, Alosvalophos.
"Your Leviathan shall fall before my strength interloper! BEHOLD! My chariot defies your seas and I draw nigh your abomination! The time will come that I shall slay it and you cannot act against me!"
NPC: Attiliax enters the game! He is worth 40 to kill, has 10 armies with war, and like the Leviathan, must be fought at a 1/6 disadvantage without the aid of miracles. He shall progress to the Leviathan over the next five turns. If he is not stopped he will kill the Leviathan, costing an even more expensive penalty starting at 75 points down to 40 as determined by dice rolls. If the Leviathan should be killed and Attiliax is not, Attiliax will take his vengeance upon the gods and cast armaggedon as the last action to take place in the game.
He is accompanied by a huge host of Centaur warriors serving as his steeds and cohorts of celestial sons. Celestials sons kill on 3, die on 4 and have 5 armies a piece with war. They are worth 15 points per kill. The Centaurs are as in the first round, save that are in vastly bigger numbers and are immune to obliterates (but not other miracles).
Even if combat is engaged, the entire retinue will advance closer and cloesr to the Leviathan each turn.
