So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Grab sword. If it resists, hum a tune with it.

If successful, enter basement.

It was a sad, sad day for Kin. Failing left and right did not strengthen his confidence but alas, he would continue with Thrakor and Javier to explore the village.

Kin attempts a new word, directed away from his fellow companions.

"A WILD ICE WISP APPEARED! GO, GOLDEN BALL!"

Cup both golden hands around the wisp to imprison it, and the seal them shut, forming a hollow golden ball with the creature inside. If this fails, run like hell down the path and hope it tries to kill someone other than me.

I figured out how to describe Sanya's not-robe. It's more like an off-center poncho.

I suppose I could combine my black hole spell with some sort of container to make a Pokeball...

"Now this looks promising."

Wind up that bad boy!  Then keep exploring.
You turn the key on the mace until it clicks. A small trigger pops out of the handle. Huh.

Now as per exploring, there are houses here, a store house down the road, a strange, ornate building at the end of the road, or you could just keep going down the path.

"Cainthalsaz Zerth".
Orbit dagger around me.
Try again.
[pot:3+1]
You summon up a small dagger made of Arcane energy.
[will:5]
The dagger floats into the air and begins orbiting you on a slow elliptical path.

Hmmm.... rune science will have to wait until that mistwalker has been dealt with.

WORDS, unless he is destroyed first... in which case RUNES.
[pot:2+1]
[dex:1]
[Derm Awareness:3]
[derm end:5]

You manage to fire a pair of pencil thin beams of fire out of your eyes. And directly into Derm's back. Luckily a rather large copper ornament between his shoulder blades completely stops the flame.

Glassco nods, exiting the shrine room and looking over the white mask in his hands. After a bit of investigating, he puts it on and makes his way outside. Taking in the cold air for a bit, he mutters words, hoping for the best. "Damn I hope these notes are right..."
You slip on your mask and head down stairs and out to the temple grounds. 
[pot:2]
Well, You don't die. You don't do much of anything really.

'Where am I?! What happened?! Why am I-- Wait, no time for questions! THEY ARE AFTER MEEEE!'

>Charge through the door screaming bloody murder and attempt to bloodily murder anyone on the other side.
There is no one in the hall on the other side, but there are eight doors here, four on each side of the hall. And a spiral staircase at the end of the hall leading both up and down.

"Department of redundancy department, paging Joseph Smith..."

Will my staff to become a nice thick rod of smacking, and grow some spore pods on the end.
[will:4]
Your rod becomes a turgid staff with a throbbing knob on the end. Just like every morning.

"~Odd.~"

More science is in order.
[pot:3+1]
Nada. Hmmm.

And you can't  so much fly as jump and then drift very gently and slowly around.

Say words.
[pot:6+2]
The mist turns black and swirls around you, spinning into a burning, blinding whirlwind. You squint to see whats going on and watch as a ring of eight eyes appears around the Wisp and burn it away with concentrated plumes of flame. The black mist bursts and vanishes a moment later, leaving nothing behind save for a mark on your stomach with 1 eye open.

I'll head back outside the building, staying alert for any trouble. If anything attacks me or Glassco, I'll use my spear. If nothing attacks, I'll try out another spell.
You walk out of the shrine and quickly run back outside, away from the twitchy looking guy in the hall.
[pot:5]
A mark appears on your spear.

Hm... I bet there is a secret here.... that or they just store their candles here since there is no electricity. Let's see how much video game logic applies to this world.

Look around the room to see if there is anything slightly interesting... or at least something that'll give me a reason to light up all the candles. If nothing at all then head up to the next floor and what i can explore from there.

The room appears to be a memorial of sorts. Guess that one candle means one person has died. Wonder who it was. Oh well.

((AGHHH))
Drag self back outside once there say words 
You drag yourself upstairs to the temple grounds.
[pot:5]
You summon a human skeleton! It collapses into a pile of bones. Dang it.

The universe is kind of feeling bad for your situation at this point.

Grab sword. If it resists, hum a tune with it.

If successful, enter basement.
You grab the sword. It instantly deconstructs your right hand into dozens of 1 millimeter meat cubes.Oh dear. You are now bleeding quite a lot.

"Hmfp."


Action!
Hmm well, I assume this action is pointed at the now defunct mist man. But it doesn't say that specifically...SO TIME FOR FUN!
[pot:5]
[will:6]
[larry awa:1]
[larry end:4]

A burst of wind explodes out behind you and slams into Larry and his golden throne. He goes flying off his throne and into the men behind him.

"Woops."

It was a sad, sad day for Kin. Failing left and right did not strengthen his confidence but alas, he would continue with Thrakor and Javier to explore the village.

Kin attempts a new word, directed away from his fellow companions.

[pot:4]
Your left foot tingles.

"A WILD ICE WISP APPEARED! GO, GOLDEN BALL!"

Cup both golden hands around the wisp to imprison it, and the seal them shut, forming a hollow golden ball with the creature inside. If this fails, run like hell down the path and hope it tries to kill someone other than me.

You sit up and dust yourself off.

"And here I thought the threat was from magical mist, not Derm's magical flatulence."

Say words
Activate chest mark I somehow got/talk to eye
Keep exploring the village.

[pot:1+1]
No luck there, sir.

The mark doesn't talk or activate. Doesn't seem to be under your control.

As per exploring, see Toaster's post.

Search through the basement. Mutter a prayer.
Lots of junk in here. You grab a hand scythe, a gold ring, and bottle of booze.

Say magic words, then head down the mountain while tinkering with the windup key on my gloves.
[pot:6+1]

Your words create an enormous feline made out of arcane energy. It isn't alive, it's pretty much just a statue. Aw.

You head down the path as the edge of the cloud layer, but derm and his crowd of men are hogging the path from there on.

You turn the keys on your gauntlets until they're fully wound. You flex your fingers into a fist and the sharpened gears on the knuckles grind into rapid motion, throwing sparks as they buzz away like weaponized meat grinders.

Activate mark, fly down the switchbacks. Words.
A pair of wings, made of paper thin obsidian, appear on your back. After a few cursory flaps you walk to the edge and survey the way down. Hmm. You can either drift down slowly, which means spending time in that cloud layer which is probably not the safest, or you can dive down at high speeds, punching right through the clouds. And potentially diving head first into the rocks. Hmm.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Hmmm...
Ironic, how hubris will probably kill me. All those stories about how personality flaws killed heroes, and all those times I laughed in the face of such stupidity. Yet I am bleeding horribly because I wanted shiny wings.
Yeah... Obsidian is kinda fragile  :P.))
"Time for fun."

((Hm... I wonder if anything will happen here if enough people die))

Hm... some person died? That sucks... but nothing to do with me. Thus I don't really care much. Let's see what else this temple has to offer.

Head up one floor and check out what's there. If it's the shrine floor, let's just say I checked out all the rooms and I offer my blood the whichever one looks like will make me faster. I'm too slow right now to have much of a chance in a fight. If it's not the shrine floor, see what all there is to explore.

((Question, can you have an offering to more then one shrine? Or just one? or is that something I have to figure out on my own?))
