[i]Ragnaros wakes up, noticing that he is in a very dark and very stony place. However, due to his body's heat and composition, he emitts a bit of light the lava/warm rock surrounding him heit up around him for a bit. He recalls something disturbing his sleep and wonders what it was. Looking around he discovers a creature sitting in the darkness, it looks almost like one of the trolls. However, this creature is cleaner and has a very big and bushy beard. Ragnaros decides to ask it's name:
"What's your name?" Ragnaros asks. "Urist" the dwarf grunts and looks all over Ragnaros, it almost seems as if the dwarf is contemplating using his pickaxe on Ragnaros to see if he could get some very fancy, and shining stone. "Mine is Ragnaros, I think I heard you calling out something, Sentient, was it? If you were trying to find out if I am a living being, then yes. I am sentient, thank you for asking. How may I help you today?"
The dwarf grumbles a bit and then seems to decide he is better of asking his superiors and so he simply starts walking away. Ragnaros, seeing as it is a cave system and he is dying for companionship, decides to follow. [/i]
I will let it still be there for reference. I will write something new soonish.

"SENTIENT! SENTIENT!" Urgh.... Arkan, who was leaning against a tree asleep, clambers off the ground, his cloak whipping around him. "Oh, stop it." Arkan said, and the spirit promptly fell silent.
Arkan then turned on his physicsight, scanning the area all around him- wait, was that something -below- him? It was. A god, and judging by the signal, Ragnoros. In the ground. Arkan didn't want to know.
Oh, Oidip, no. Ragnoros had a literal aura of power around him, enough to kill the drained Arkan. -1 Act: Cast "Hidden Aura", a spell that camaflouges the entire area of the tree hut, as well as hiding the spirit's and Arkan's auras from Ragnoros.
That was taken care of. Next, Arkan crossed over to a patch of ground where stone once stood and took three large, loose stones. One was curved into a crescent shape, and the other two were cylinders with spikes at one end. Quickly, Arkan retrieved a long pole of wood, and affixed the crescent-shaped stone to it, creating a scythe. Then, he cut a small hole into the other side of the hole, affixing one of the pointed stones into it. With the other stone, Arkan starts a fire, smelting the stone and wood together with heat.
Throughly exhuasted, Arkan instructs the spirit to -WHISPER to him of any senients. (wake him too) -Attack any small game.
Taking out some lichen, Arkan consumes all of it, refilling his stomach. Then, crushing some mouistre out of leaves, Arkan drinks. He then passes out in the small hole he formed earlier.

What happened to the Arkan-Ragnoras friend-ship?

Obviously, Arkan is paranoid. He knows that Ragnaros has the power to destroy him in his current state. He doesn't want to die this early.

Ragnaros wakes up and is confused. He remembers falling asleep, and Arkan being nearby. He recalls something waking him up trying to recall he thinks he remembers the thing calling out "Sentient" something that seems like a rather weird thing to do.
Judging by the surroundings, Ragnaros starts to realise that the heat he naturallly emits is strong enough to melt rock, if put under the unfluence for long enough. He finds this fact slightly amusing and after a bit of experimenting he realises that he can swim around in the rock with a bit of effort. While doing this he comes by some coal lying embedded in the rock. Swimming through it, his body reacts differently than it had done with the normal rock, it is almost as if he is gaining energy. Yes, he's defenitely feeling revitalized and has the feeling of having eaten an entire chicken. He chuckles slightly to himself and starts to go/swim upwards, towards the surface. It might be a good idea to find out what that other god... what was his name?... Arkan, is up to.
Emerging from the rock, Ragnaros notices that all traces of Arkan has dissapeared. There seems to be a disturbance though, as if Arkan is trying to hide from him. Why he would try to hide is beyond Ragnaros. Thinking about it for a while, Ragnaros starts to suspect that Arkan is plotting to kill him. The whole friendly act was just for show. Becoming sort of sad and dissapointed. He did nothing to offend the god and this is seems like an insult.
Before departing, Ragnaros decides it might be a good idea to leave a message if he missunderstood Arkan, he takes his finger and simply pushes it towards the surface of the rock. He then drags the finger in what he recalls as a typed language, the message spelled out is rather messy and hard to read, but it works.
"Wish you no harm"
Being done with this, Ragnaros wills himself down into the ground again and starts to search for more of that weird sustencance he found in the rocks.

Who ever heard of a death god that wasn't paranoid?

And can we call Arkan the Grim Reaper? I mean, he's a god of death.

Wend-Wulfe has come to a realization. Life was for living. He was going to live it up.
Starting with calling people funny names. Assuming Arkan was still alive, Wend-Wulfe was going to call him "Grimmy" next time he saw him.

Suddenly feeling something, Fido tries to use his new power to summon something. A deck of cards appear on a stump nearby, and he walks over to pick it up. -1 act. Bored, Fido starts shuffling the deck, and begins playing solitaire.

Turn: "Who cares!"
Its day 2 for all of you!
Fido You begin to play solitaire obsessively. This makes you feel slightly more powerful but not enough to gain 1 act. You continue to here the shuffling of feet that led you to Xarik.
Wulfe The shimps gather some obsidian but not a large amount. Your preparations are ready for your journey.
Arkan Your strange creature is still sitting there. Outside you see a message melted into the rock and some foot-prints. Not Ragnoras's, they simply circle your home and then trail of in one direction.
Kyra You plants have grown nicely. Those to the north side of your plot grew especially well. Synth likes his name.
Ragnoras You are underground. You can travel twice as fast down here.
There is now a map of Nur. You have real locations. All sentient life has been invented No coming up with your own.
Edit: Acts duh...
Fido: 2 Wulfe:3 Arkan:1 Ragnoras:6 Kyra:3

The Shimps had gathered just enough obsidian for Wend-Wulfe's project. He took the sharp volcanic glass, a piece of wood for a handle, and a sturdy vine to create an obsidian knife.Taking the obsidian the shimps had gathered, Wend-Wulfe creates an obsidian knife. -0 acts.It would be useful, but it might not be sturdy enough to be much of a real weapon.
"I'm going off Shimps, keep an eye on the lava pit so that it doesn't get stopped up again. Build a real settlement when you get a chance, but don't be too hard on yourselves."
With that, Wend-Wulfe and Horace lift off into the sky. They fly low towards where Kyra had run off to, searching for any fallen gods.
There was a place where the tree branches were broken, as if something fell through them. Wend-Wulfe and Horace landed a safe distance away and stealthily approach the spot.
There was a smell like sweat. Wend-Wulfe knew that smell. It was the smell of oppression. The smell of Doreas.
Wend-Wulfe found the corpse of Doreas lying on the ground. To be sure he was dead, Wend-Wulfe stabbed his walking stick through his rotting head. Oh yeah, dead.
Using his knife, Wend-Wulfe cut away at Doreas's chest and grabbed his heart. This was where all the god's power resided. Wend-Wulfe ate it.Wend-Wulfe ate Doreas's heart. -0 acts. I'd like to make my acts more powerful instead of gaining a sphere of influence. E.g. 1 act is about as powerful as 2. Assuming Oidip allows that... Wend-Wulfe feels the power of Doreas rushing into him. He then turns his attention to his crude sack.Wend-Wulfe makes the crude sack nigh-indestructable. -1 act.
Wend-Wulfe makes the crude sack a bag of holding. -1 act.Bag of Holding Characteristics- Cannot be destroyed except by the power of a god.
- Can hold an infinite amount of items.
- Time does not exist in the bag, items will not age or change until taken out.
- Weighs as much as the items put into it.
- If broken, all items will be spewed out.
Good, now Wend-Wulfe would be able to carry everything he could possibly want, so long as he can lift it.
Wend-Wulfe's stomach growls. The fruit had helped, but Wend-Wulfe wanted some real meat. Doreas's corpse was starting to look pretty delicious.Wend-Wulfe cuts Doreas into strips with his obsidian knife. -0 acts.Wend-Wulfe ate a strip. Delicious, but it would be better cooked. He stores the rest in his bag of holding, but not before giving a piece to Horace. Horace would prefer a Jade Beetle, but he can eat the godflesh if he has to.
Wend-Wulfe ties his bag of holding to his walking stick and walks along with Horace on his sholder. Eventually he comes to some strange tracks. He has never seen anything like them before, and so decides to follow them.
The tracks lead past what appears to be a house made out of a tree. There is a hole in the house that a Flavian pops out of and looks at Wend-Wulfe curiously. Could this be the residence of the god that had run from the Vortex's crash?
"Hello there! I'm Wend-Wulfe! I'm a god from the Oidip universe, do I know you?"If I didn't make that clear, that's Kyra's house. I'm trying to call him out.

Drained again? Not happy. Arkan's aura was a barely-flickering thing. The Death God had to kill some things. All this was thought in a god's sleep-like trance, so the plan was considered and perfected over and over. When the first light of day came, Arkan awoke. Doing a quick scan of the Hidden Aura'd area, he found writing-"Mean you no harm"- and footprints. Perfect.
Done with his preparations, Arkan takes the enchanted sycthe and follows the footprints. Along the way, he finds the dead body of a god... Axotol. "Oh, how ironic. The god of life, dead. I think I can use you..." Slamming the blade of his scythe through the former god's neck, Arkan absorbed the power and afteressence of the god. Instead of transfering the power into a new sphere, I would like to transfer it into acts.
Feeling a cooling sensation rush over him, Arkan realizes that it may take some time to translate the god's power into acts. (Until I get the O.K.)
While he waited, Arkan enters the nearby forests and begins to cut down trees and kill animals with the sycthe, absorbing the feeling of death as he did. Arkan keeps a spell on his lips, ready to teleport a little away or to kill any smaller, mortal creature.
Finally, Arkan retraces his steps to the cave system were he found the senient lizard-men. He finds a stray lizard-man hunting for lichen.
Quickly, the Death god sprung into action, throwing a large stone right at the lizards head. The creature falls, stunned, and Arkan brings down his sycthe, killing it and absorbing its power. (If anything else comes, attempt to roast it alive with his only act, and if that fails, stun it and flee.)
Panting, Arkan grabs the body and runs back to his mountain hut. Lighting another fire, Arkan toasts the lizard meat with a spit. Leaning back against the tree-wall, Arkan waits for Axotol's power to be absorbed.
As he was about to doze off, Arkan calls the spirit over. With his single act -1 Act: equip the spirit with intelligence. Then, he instructed the spirit to take the meat off the fire when it was done, and follow his last instructions.
Sigh... Arkan fell into trance, concentrating on absorbing Axotol's power.

Bored, Fido begins wondering. If he felt more powerful shuffling the deck, than he must now have the sphere of chance! That means his spells that involve chance take 1 less act! Soooooo............... Greater summoning roulette!-2 acts. summons a random non-hostile creature.

Kyra, inside preparing a meal of various fruits off of the trees around his home, stops as Synth flies off his shoulder and to his perch to go outside. Kyra, curious, begins to walk towards the door. He years someone outside yell "Hello there! I'm Wend-Wulfe! I'm a god from the Oidip universe, do I know you?" He rushes to the door and opens it... He recognizes the name, Wend-Wulfe, and is immediately interested when he hears the word "God". "What do you know about gods?" he yells back as Synth lands on his shoulder...

"Hey! I know you! Didn't I see you on the other side? It's like we're cousins!
So yeah, I'm from Oidip. If you don't mind, I'd like to be friends."
Wend-Wulfe looks around at Kyra's flowers.
"Nice flowers you've got here. Let me water them!"
Wend-Wulfe digs a small hole in the ground. -0 acts.
Gathering the dirt from the hole, Wend-Wulfe lifts off higher than he'd ever been before. He flew to the highest level of the atmosphere he could be in safely and let the dust drift down into the clouds.
Wend-Wulfe seeds the clouds. -0 acts.
Wend-Wulfe lands back in front of Kyra and sips a bit of dew that lingered on a nearby leaf.
"You'll have rain in a day or so. I just seeded the clouds."
Wend-Wulfe looks up into the sky, waiting for the rain.
Seeding the clouds is where they put particles in the air that water vapor attaches to, forming clouds, which grow until rain comes spewing forth.
Also, by looking in the sky, I may see any other planets visible from Nur.
