Sima Wa: Espionage RNG Number 4-Shade has acquired an intact power core, complete with trapped tek spirit that just produces electricity forever. Currently traveling north to bring it home.
Automatons are being edumacated. As per research queue, unique model concepts are being explored by Lo’c. Though he has also begun a side experiment. All the current Jinko are being equally treated and educated, all born at roughly the same time with the same world experiences. He is having them carefully monitored to see how much variation there is in their personalities and skills. Does a unique body require a lucky soul, or do they transplant the soul of another one that has proven itself into it? So goes Lo’c’s experiment. Fuck that apostrophe clusterfuck of a name.
Teozix begins to take the role of educator despite his inferior body and model design.
Elements acquired for collection essence of: Moon, sun, phoenix fire, hellfire, destruction (it blew up in your face already but at least he tried), Teijin (no one knows wtf this does not even the guy who figured out how to make it), and a “lucky gold ingot”.
The steel gauntlets for ryner have been made

Lin sun: Aided by the luck god and rolling a nat 15 out of 15, Vris the detective manages to actually find out the full readout of what each paladin does. Though all paladins have two abilities. The first comes from their aspect blessing, the second comes from their holy weapons.
Zachariah’s Aspect posses the power of equality. Everyone within approximately a mile becomes equal to a mere man. In mechanics terms, he can turn anyone and everyone level 1. While they keep their powers and aspects, the power and control over it they have diminishes. Most importantly, it works on gods. This is why Thykenae won’t pick that fight, as he strips them down into mortals with only the most basic of abilities. This does however impact those around him on his side as well. Zachariah has two entirely different weapons. His wings can grow seemingly endlessly and the feathers can be animated. The other weapon is his two handed sword, it’s blade can turn into pure white light at which point it starts to do weird shit. Capable of expanding to massive lengths and exerting enough destructive power to blow right through buildings. Zachariah’s equality ability does not affect Divus blessings from Jehovah, but it will strip angels or holy weapons blessed by angels as well. Meaning it works on everyone but the seven paladins, Jehovah, and Moses. No one is sure how it would impact other kinds of beings though, for example no one knows if Milenkosi or Baridi is vulnerable to this as whatever the hell they are is a mystery in itself. So in summary: Makes you a starter character, tentacle rape, and a bigass lightsaber.
Vris has since determined two things. One: according to the Djinn while Zachariah can possibly kill Eli himself, depending who draws first, he does know how to do it even without his super powers. Second: On the note of capturing its possible that even though his equality power is some bullshit, that only removes raw power. People who do not need their powers to fight might still be able to handle him.
Naomi’s wings are her most known power. They were originally one massive chunk of stone, this was declared to be her weapon. She has absolute control over this thing, and can move its fragments as she pleases. The level of force they output is unknown but so far no shield (or giant stone temple) has even slowed them. She shaped the stone into those decorative obelisks that float around her to make up her “wings” but they break into even smaller fragments when she wants to. In truth she can fly because she forced fragments of this stone weapon into her body to alter her physical abilities. She uses this total control over them to imitate things like super strength and the shards in her body are what hold her up when she flies. Her aspect powers on the other hand are rarely seen, because its rarely needed. With Jehovah’s aspect she got the ability of extreme regeneration, which is how she was able to not die when embedding her own weapon into her body. If you cut her head off or something she’s not getting back up from that, but she can still shrug off a lot of damage.
Saint Isaac, wielder of a death aspect blessing can obviously kill anything. His weapon is a massive scythe that can ignore any material, spiritually empowered or not. It doesn’t actually break them, just passes through them. Granted if the blade hits something its going to die, his victims often have no wounds because of this weapon’s unique properties. His aspect ability is very similar to it, he is incorporeal at will. However, his weapon is always incorporeal and so he cannot block/parry, and his body must be corporeal in order for his weapon to be effective, his corporeality is somehow tied to whether or not he is actually there.
Saint Eleazor seems mundane at first with no significant powers beyond his wings, but his weapon can copy any spirit’s abilities it sees. Meaning if you have a magic weapon, he has that weapon too. His aspect abilities are also the same thing, while copycat powers are not unheard of, Eleazor can also copy blessings and their power level. If he is looking at his target he not only copies their powers and stats, he also gains a full understanding of everything their abilities can do. He has sometimes found out how to do things with people’s powers they didn’t even know they could do, killing them with it before they could ever try to use this new and fantastic technique. Notably his power has a limitation, he has to be looking at the target constantly to maintain it.
Saint Athalia ‘s aspect blessing gives her the ability of mass teleportation. She can move up to an entire Inn and all its residents over huge distances. Its not enough to throw a whole invading army somewhere, but the seven paladins don’t need to fly if they’re in a particular hurry. Her twin swords can teleport as well. Either to her hand or to wherever she wants them to be within a certain range. She has been seen to make them appear right inside someone, ending the fight pretty quick.
Saint Sarah’s aspect blessing gives her the power of omniscience. She knows where every black mage within a hundred miles are at all times. Not only that, if she knows the exact mage she wants to find, she knows where they are no matter where in the world(s) they might be. Though she needs more then a rough description to go off of, the limits of it aren’t well understood. The more famous someone is though the more likely it is she can keep tabs on them. Her weapon is actually a bow that fires an arrow of pure white light. Once fired it splits into dozens of itself, all of which explode. Carpet bomber basically. Fortunately she can’t fire the arrows as fast as a normal archer, they take about ten seconds to replenish in her hand to be fired again. She can actually transform the white light from an arrow to any other weapon, but she’s known as the paladin’s archer as thats her favored use of it. But in close combat she will likely turn it into a more appropriate weapon.
Saint David’s weapon has the ability to create clones of itself and by proxy Saint David. While they last for all of maybe two seconds, David’s aspect power is basically super speed. While the laws of physics are reduced for him, he is still subject to inertia and cannot run at his absolute top speeds without a bit of a running start and the willingness to have to put a lot of effort into slowing down, but thats only if he wants to start breaking the sound barrier or something. While his movement speed doesn’t turn him necessarily so fast he becomes invisible in combat (granted he’s still moving faster then anything else you’ve likely encountered), his sword arm does. He can attack with his weapon, especially with his brief clones, fast enough to replicate Machera’s abilities. Albeit shorter range.
Vris has begun to head home after learning what both Sarah and Athalia’s abilities are. And she’s putting some hustle into it too since Zaeed’s taking off to the east.
Lucifer does actually divulge what the secret meetings are about Quy On’s continued membership. He’s the first dark god on the roster, and leaving him on it could be…awkward. Also a bit of a PR problem. They would have asked Song but she ran off already.
Thandar does practices. Eret already sold out some viking conspirators to Nergals “super happy fun time team”. They have suddenly gone missing.The problem with getting Thykenae’s assistance to the east is time. Its a long trip even for gods, and if some specific gods were to rush ahead of the others and the nation they might be noticed…and you don’t want him to notice you.
Freyja doesn’t actually know where to find Tyr, the pantheon is so shattered that their individual followings are not able to find each other. Since each one is in hiding. Not all of them even know that Saint Sarah can still find them.
Con Lai:
Gremory has expanded the network and works to do so always, as it means more money for him, but it wasn’t really worth noting that a few more merchants have joined the guild of greed. Alice still traveling. Milenkosi actually can’t manipulate the dreams of that many people at once, thats your thing. It is assumed you did so. The Vua Cai inquisitors are actually growing thanks to the works of An-Lahn, who has received information from Vris that he should not dare leave Sthan Thi for awhile. Sarah, and by proxy Naomi, are watching him. Baridi and Eret hang out too much during his trip to the dream realm. Jin Zhang has actually built a pretty good band of misfits already. The jakaal nature of his training has enabled to recruit other misfit types of the proper caliber. Its a small team full of weirdos but they’re pretty good. Milenkosi actually manages to extract his whole priority list except artifacts and all purpose worshippers, while the civilians are left on the island still all the HVT’s on the list are out.
Milenkosi points out “Grabbing raji” and “be safe” contradict, so he’s just gonna not do that for now since “be safe” has an above all tag.
Freyja and the vikings are traveling toward Kaga to seek shelter, unsure of where their missing friends have gone they have been assumed to have left in the night due to grudges against Si Da. They are not incorrect…technically. However, they have no time to investigate as they would prefer to minimize the time they are moving and thus the chance of a paladin finding them.
Loki has renounced his position as a god, incarnated, and declared himself a champion of Divus. Thor and his followers were more resistant and are now dead.
Mastema recalled to travel the world with Quy Ong. Asmodaeus reports the discovery of an amazing artifact from the southern wild lands, it somehow amplifies the power of the god it is devoted to. So far no one else has noticed that Ishtar’s powers have mysteriously increased…a lot. Altepetl has begun mass construction progress with the help of Bahamut’s cult, whatever it is its massive and stone. He also discovered what Altepetl has for a military is pretty shit. It has some impressive heroes though.
The praeliators have joined up with the migrating vikings on the road to Kagayakashi.
Jade Empire has come under suspicion from the eastern world due to its lack of doing anything about the army skirting its borders. However, Quan Yin has entered Si Da lands. What she’s up to nobody is sure yet, but she’s traveling straight toward Sthan Thi, though she is alone. Wukong on the other hand has left Shenlong’s perimeter and headed toward Sekai Taki.
Taiyo has called several clans to Sekai Taki to prepare for battle with Song Yi’s forces. Raijin and Tsukoyomi are also present and an army of shinigami possibly two or three thousand strong.
