Remote talking's pretty good. I say we grant ourselves the ability to talk to people in vastly different locations just by manifesting as a mouth (which is worth 1 point, I believe?) and then give our mouths creepy vampire fangs for extra intimidation factor (half a point?) -- and then save the remaining 1.5 points for an emergency / a rainy day.

>>28574
how many power points do we have?

Also, can we gain the ability to manifest as JUST a smile?

>>28574


I'm >>28579
didn't see the three point thing.

Anyway, are you guys attached to the little girl form, or could we be some kind of floating detached smile? Also, how many points would the ability to possess people via covering their mouth with a smile cost?

I'm guessing that the ability to remotely manifest talking smiles covers the ability to manifest ONLY as a talking smile for all practical purposes, since we DO have the invisible god-form still.
And honestly, floating smiles can be pretty darn creepy even WITHOUT fangs. I like the "something is subtly yet terribly wrong here" form of scary quite a bit more than the "big scary monster" approach.

In the long term, we need some form of smiting to enforce our will. I recommend swallow whole.

>>28583
I second swallow whole, possibly with the ability to leave behind a corpse covered in bite-marks after it falls out the back of our one dimensional mouth. completely optional.

Well, being able to bite people from a distance sounds pretty useful, as does remote communication. Remote communication could be vary usefull in messing with our opponents. Swallowing someone whole seems pretty useful, but we need to be able to... say... just consume someone's arm or something too...

Should we consider some peacful powers? So that we can be a kind god if we need? Healing is always nice, though something really minor wouldnt be half bad either... say... giving people nice, clean, strong white teeth? We could be the god of dental hygene and it wouldnt really cost us that much, i dont think.

>>28598
Spooky teeth aside, we are sorta pointed at being a goddess of the hunt so far, as our primary action has been to affect the outcome of a manhunt, and our largest sacrifice was a freshly hunted woodland creature.

Asking for a token sacrifice from all game freshly killed in the area would not go awry. Something small and mouth related probably. Cut out the tongue? Necklace of the teeth?

I vote trying to add eloquence to our portfolio.
Maybe communication in general?

God of: the mouth(dental hygene other reasons obvious), hunger(hunting, mouth related), communication (eloquence, mouth related).

Anything else sound like our portfolio?

>>28625
Maybe elemental fire or void, what with the DEVOURING MOUTHS OF DOOM, but that's a longshot.

Unrelatedly, what about minions?

>>28630
void sounds okay, but I don't think we can really claim that. some shadow god probably does.

>>28633
And there are probably quite a few gods of the hunt around here, as well as ones of communication and hunger.
At this point, we should just gra a bunch and fight for them later.

>>28630
like, our own brand of angels? I think we're a bit low on the totem pole for anything like that quite yet.

>>28663
I mean some mouths that don't require us in the immediate area to function.

>>28664
we'd need whole souls for that.

>>28636
good point. let's claim the void too. Do we have everything we think fits us?

We could go for trickery as well, given that we tricked those soldiers. That also ties into eloquence.

>>28671
I thought trickery fell under communication? but yes, trickery somewhere in there sounds good.

Well... we all know what Freud saw the mouth as... but maybe we should hold off on fertility, aye?
though you know... we are a little girl... that could also be seen as a symbol of fertility, or childish innocence at least.
And didnt we chose the form to put him at ease? Perhaps we should claim protection or safety or something as well.

>>28579
>Also, can we gain the ability to manifest as JUST a smile?
yes

>>28580
>Also, how many points would the ability to possess people via covering their mouth with a smile cost?
one if you're just going along for the ride, seven to take full control.


And swallowing whole would be five points.

>>28753
well, we claim hunger, communication, the mouth, the void, and trickery as our domains then, unless anyone disagrees.

so, what were we taking? Biting people and communicating at a distance, for 2 out of 3 points?

>>28768
"the mouth" and its related "dental hygiene" sound pretty lame to me, especially compared to the others. Appearance doesn't NEED to have anything to do with our areas of influence anyway.

I second the power choices though. It occurs to me that "bite" probably counts toward eventual "swallow whole" point cost too

>>28807
Never underestimate the power of strong teeth. Especially in a fantasy setting where people don't have the best of dental care. Its a relatively minor sphere, but think of what we can do with it. We can melt the teeth from peoples mouths, we can sew the mouths up, we can give people fangs and venomous maws, we can cover our worshipers in mouths to create horrible monstrosities! What is a dragon without its teeth, I ask you? Plus we can cure toothaches and help old people eat things other than soup. For those of you familiar with discworld, I remind you of ol' Cohen and his Troll Teeth dentures.

...actually now that I think about it, I suppose it would be up to our followers what our domains are. Whatever the sort of things they ask us to help them with turn out to be. We can tailor abilities to meet certain needs, and give them some prods on what we could do, but I don't think we can just stake claims and have them be true.

>>28812
allright, well, those are our vague goals for now then. I want to at least have mouth-significance, I like the creepyness of it.

>>28821
Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm the one who *suggested* the floatingmouthloliform, on account of creepiness. I just don't know how creepy it is to be called the god of molars when "hunger" and "the void" are on the table.

>>28824
What, we can't tack Goddess of Grins onto the end of our title? If its too costly we can drop it, but I figure it would be a nice little cantrap to add to our resume.

I think we should find/subvert/make catlike minions.
Then give them grins and invisibility.

>>28829
I was gonna leave that open because I imagine later on the chesshire cat will be one of our mid-range nemesises

You will eventually be able to get minions by shaping the souls of your passed followers, or if other spirits swear fealty to you. I suppose you could also make some sort of construct, were you so inclined.

>>28867
Oh god. Denture-bots.

>>28870
That hop, of course.

I think we'd need Artifice in the portfolio, though.

>>28870
Oh god oh god what have I done.

we need moar souls. Begin patrolling forest.

Demand sacrifice from the village. The first kill and all the teeth of each hunt are to be ours. Additionally, the when a child loses his teeth, those teeth shall be sacrificed to us in return for some token wealth.

>>29046
I think we might step on some toes if we just barge in and ask for the first kill or something.

>>29444
Definitely. You will have to step on toes eventually, though.

>>29473
So claiming the children's teeth (and some token blood) and some blood and teeth from kills should be sufficient to start with.
Also, find out the other deities this particular tribe worships.
We might be able to step in as the main hunt deity.

The Furnshakti Barbarians agree to dedicate to you the teeth of each creature they kill in hunt. The Vyntric army will sacrifice to you for protection as they pass through thus area. You have a shrine, in a clearing now dedicated to you. Your mouths speak your will and bite those who would not pay your respects.

You are established.

BEGIN CHAPTER TWO IMMEDIATELY DAMNIT

So much better than black and white

Yeah, seriously, this is pretty good. When can we expect the next little bit?

Gather up all the teeth, and use the ones we don't put in the mouths to build something.
Maybe armor?
Armor made of milk-teeth?

>>29544
I say we make teeth golems. They shall be our minions.

>>29544
>>29545
I say we grind the teeth up and use the powder as an all purpose magic device/flour/tea

We bake it, drink it, use it fo' magic, whatevs. but the other ideas are interestin' too.


Also, hell yeah, deity quests.

We'll build a pool of them and go swimming.

>>29544
>>29545
If I had to choose between these, I'd go more for tooth-minions than armor, as I don't think dental armor will work well.

Also, tooth minions- just grins? on legs? that hop?

>>29562
A cat and a fox.
And we shall name them chessie and crimson.
It will be glorious.
Hits the hunt, teeth, and hunger all at the same time.

>>29564
chesshire cat is something I want under our control, most certainly.

Unless it's already another spirit.

who's the fox?

>>29566
You'll never figure it out.
NEVER NEVER NEVER

>>29567
ah, I remember now.

>>29541
When I have time. School is about to start up for me, so that'll be a few days of driving followed by at least a few days to get set up. But before that comes packing, and after that I need to be sure that I know wtf am I doing in my classes. Could be as much as two weeks.


As far as constructs, something made of the bones and antlers and tied together with sinew, but with huge mouths filled with teeth from all manner of beast could work quite well.

The ability to create constructs would take a considerable amount of power, though, and as such is unlikely to come into play for a while.
