Try to persuade the friendlies to form a large ADVENTURE Team! Oh, and see what my bug can do without hurting them.
((Also, hey look, a boss. Not like we care if the guy fighting it dies.))
Your bug doesn't seem to be doing much, except for flying towards a mountain to the southeast. There seems to be a large column of steam drifting away from the peak...
Hold out my hand as a welcoming gesture to the giraffe. But not the man. Only the giraffe. then press random organ buttons until giraffe man explodes.

You extend your hand in welcome as the giraffe bears down upon you, but the beast pays no attention to your gesture, and the rider fires his clockwork gun, sending a brass shell flying straight at your face. It smashes through the cockpit, causing several minor lacerations to your face as glass shards fly everywhere before it begins to leak a thick purple smoke, which mixes with an oily white mist spraying from some of the pipes in your mech. Gagging slightly, you manage to hurl the poisonous projectile out of your mech before going on the offensive, but try as you might, you simply can't get a lock on the man.

As the giraffe cavalier reloads, the ground beneath him seems to crack open, revealing an expertly hidden pitfall trap. As the man's mount stumbles and tries to avoid the hole, a man in a brown leather duster leaps out of the hole and climbs up its leg, before driving a serrated Bowie knife through the rider's left shoulder. Both men tumble to the ground as the giraffe flees towards the riverbank, and after a brief scuffle the man in purple surrenders, just before the newcomer knocks him out with a punch in the face and turns to you.
"Ma'am, has anyone ever told you that you make darn good bait? I'd been waiting in that pitfall for hours, hoping just to bag one or two soldiers, and here you are, luring goddamned Richard Crowe into it. Those damned purples and their damned "democracy" will be gone in no time if we keep this up! And would you look at that! They're already retreating! Well, how about we go and see if someone back at Dog's Hall can patch up that pretty face of yours, and take this bastard back for some good old fashioned interrogation. Oh, by the way, the name's Craig. Or at least, that's what my folks named me. 'Round here, everyone just calls me Stalker, 'cause I'm always sneaking around.""Critical damage detected.

Quickly attempt to splash some of the molten metal off of my arm and into her, then roll down the mountain.

With a lunatic grin, the girl hurls her spear at you, but it merely explodes into a storm of dry leaves as it crashes into your back. You think for a moment that you might be able to escape this joke of an attack, but the leaves suddenly burst into flame, engulfing you in a storm of hellfire. You can feel yourself melting into a puddle of metal as the heat intensifies, and your processor becomes less and less structurally intact, until POOF! Your last recognizable sensation is the heat resistant alloys on your CPU turning into a soft goo in the heat.
SCYROTHE IS DEAD!DEEPER INTO THE MOUNTAINS! oh and cast the newest spell at osborn and team evil... that should help... maybe...
"Hey don't ignore me!" Evil Lucky yells at Overlord Zardak who is running in some direction. He turns to to Aurwyn and says "Make a mental note of the most entertaining way to execute him... just in case. Anyways let's just follow him for now."
Follow Zardak and if I see the book thief, tell Aurwyn to execute him as she sees fit before attempting to use my watch on him again.
((Oh, right... I guess I should say this))

Jim opens the book as he runs deeper into the mountains, but Osborn manages to read off an incantation before Jim can. The mad mage immediately appears right next to Jim, who spins away from the burst of flame that appears a moment later before reading the newest spell. A pair of flaming black angel wings sprout from his back, the ambient heat charring a portion of his skin, but not enough to cause any lasting damage... yet. Meanwhile, Evil Lucky points his ring at Jim again, but the spell fails horribly, and he looks on in surprise as even Aurwyn outpaces him as she marches towards Jim. As she approaches, Jim is suddenly brought to the ground by a crushing amount of weight, and is held in place by the intense gravity as Aurwyn daintily steps onto his back. Of course, with gravity being thirty times its normal force, the bone is completely crushed to powder beneath the tiny golden boot. Grinning, she continues to step delicately up his back, making sure to crush each individual vertebra under her heels until he stops trying to squirm.
"I'd give you a last word, but I think your vocal chords are part of my new red BOOTS," she says, gesturing towards her bloodstained feet before driving one through the back of his skull.
JIM IS DEAD!(Lucky luk: 2+5)
As Aurwyn walks back to Lucky's side, a triangular black hat with a long white bird feather falls from the sky and lands at their feet. Before Lucky can move to pick up this new treasure however, a cloud of ashes sweeps over a nearby ridge, followed by a young woman in orange and red robes carrying an absurdly large spear. As she catches sight of Lucky, Arwyn, and Osborn, her face practically lights up with lunatic joy, and her clothes are replaced with what seems to be a fabric woven out of solid light and heat. She looks over the group for a moment, before winking at Lucky and charging at him, holding her spear like a greatsword behind her as she prepares to swing.
"Well, it's not like I need treasure to kick ass anyway."
He sees his teammates chasing after Jim.
"Hey, where do you idiots think you're going? Wait for your illustrious leader!" He turns back towards Rambo "Come, thrall, I don't want anyone killing you in my absence. And bring some cabbages with you."
Zardak chases after the rest of Team Evil Badasses.
You follow your team, and show up just as some crazy bitch in semi-translucent glowing robes with a huge spear starts to charge at Lucky.
"Yep. Cabbages, follow you. Uh-huh."
Follow the cabbages, pick up Zardak. Or whatever his name is.
You kick a cabbage up the mountains like a soccer ball, and pick Zardak up onto your shoulders when you reach him.
Curiously examine gun, pointing it away from everyone, and looking down the sights. If safety is on, flick it off.
Activating combat control systems... Applying servo input filters... Reading current conditions... render test fire y/n
Test fire gun once, pulling the trigger and holding it for roughly a second or two, then releasing it.
ALGEM's eyes glow red momentarily as she blabbers in something close to translated machine code. Note that the above is paraphrased, as the rest was nonsensical jabbering about variables and universal variables and the environmental variables. Despite the sudden seeming insanity she seems the same as ever, and as soon as she test-fires the gun her eyes revert back to their normal soft green glow.
You reach to flip the safety off before realizing that the gun actually doesn't have one. Upon pulling the trigger, a slow moving orb of light is emitted from the barrel, accelerating faster and faster until it zooms off into the distance as a glowing stream.
Look around.
"What now?"
"The same thing we do everynight Charlie, try to take over the world Go looking for loot."

"We haven't been together that long, and it's daytime, but okay."
Explore sunward. Or antisunward if sunward brings us towards the battle again.
The two of you walk westwards, following the sun until you come to what appears to be a snow covered stretch of plains at the base of a mountain to the north of it. You can see a forest of dense trees on the other side, as well as some cold looking hills to the south of it.
Okayyy......
well, as long as it wont kill us all...
speaking of testing weapons...
Move off to one side about 40 feet away from others. test pipe. then (if living/mobile) return to others (if not dead.)

You give your pipe an experimental puff, releasing a cloud of red smoke which solidifies into a beating heart. As you remove the end of your pipe from your mouth, the heart floats into the air and seems to follow your hand as you move it about.
GENIUS AND RAGESON SPAWN!(Genius luk: 6+6)
As the Village Genius appears in the scorched crater, her waiver transforms into a blue two-seater biplane, with a rotating minigun attached to the propeller, and several magical-looking bombs rolling around on the inside. Good thing you've read all of those books on flying, right?
(Rageson luk: 2+6)
Rageson's waiver becomes a fist sized stone crackling with pure magical energy. It constantly shifts colors, ranging from a fierce electric blue to a rusty orange.
