Turn 1: Questions and Answers

A query, sir; you stated that each of the options is time sensitive. However, you also stated that the rift will likely not do anything for centuries. Should we infer from this that if we do not select that location, you will assign the task for someone else, and if so, could we request additional time before such an assignment is made, allowing us to perform one of the other tasks first and then head to that location?
Also, I request a Cloak.

Yes yes just grab a cloak. On the topic of the rift: It will probably be open for decades but in the desert things are never certain, and its quite possible that anything the rift reveals will be taken by treasure hunters by the time you finish any other business you have. So yes, you can go there after, but it probably won’t be the same as it is now.

Russ walks over to the table and grabs a magestone, and stuffs it in a pocket in his robe. He tries to remember what Myrta is, but for some reason finds the memory is simply unavailable. How odd, its as if he must make the decision of where he wants to go without knowing who (or what) Mytra was. After this he makes a gesture towards a direction that seems eastwards to him. Somehow the chancellor seems to interpret his gesture at the wall of the room correctly.

Ven picks up an elemental seed, and after playing with it a few moments simply plops it in his mouth.
Orcs! Excellent!
Good gods boy, you seem to have… Misinterpreted your lessons about Elemental Seeds. If you simply press the crystal it is in against your flesh, it is injected into your body. Now you must first… pass it before you can properly use it.

A test, then. Let us be off! saying this, Joe walks over and grabs a elemental seed, putting it in his pocket.

I'll take that cloak of shielding, if ya please.
Also, I'm gonna do all of those things, I reckon, not just one. Let's go to the east first.
Yes, as I told the other one, just go grab one already.

Cromwell simply goes over and grabs a magestone, ignoring the question about where he wants to go.

Well, it seems that out of the six of you, only three care about where you are going. Unless the rest of you speak up, I am sending you east even without your vote.

Created spells

Spoiler: Russ; Unstable Golem- Life/Chaos/Earth (click to show/hide)

Creates a golem from nearby mud that will explode upon command or death.

Spoiler: Ven; Languid Stupor- Water/Water/Death[/spoiler (click to show/hide)

Slows both the physical and mental speed of nearby targeted creatures greatly. When most powerfully effective it also lowers the targets metabolism hugely.

Spoiler: Joeseph; Chant of the Adamant Slayer- Fire/Chaos/Life (click to show/hide)

This berserker spell greatly increases the physical attributes of the caster. His strength, speed, and the strength of his skin all greatly increase. It also has the unforchanate side effect of increasing the recklessness of the caster greatly. While under its effect and in combat running is impossible.

Spoiler: Cromwell; Sword of Glass- Earth/Air/Fire (click to show/hide)

The caster creates a vortex of sand in front of him, and by manipulating lightning and heat in intricate ways, forms a razor-sharp sword of glass, strengthened by magic. When the caster drops or otherwise unhands the sword it disintegrates.

Note that descriptions of most items and all status effects use the abbr tag. That means if you hover over them, a little tag pops up telling you their effect. If you use firefox text with the abbr tag is underlined.

[Tack]

((Kudos to lemon for perfectly translating my spell descriptor into exactly what I wanted. Very happy.))

Russ gives a stern nod of approval at the Chancellor's excellent sense of direction. He then moves to stand in the conveniently-placed mage-circle, to await his teleportation.

-You can create as many spells as you want in a single turn.

...Okay! I shall flesh out my Tome of Golem while I wait.

Spoiler: Non-Golem Spells (click to show/hide)

Summon Order Elemental
Order|Order|Order
Dragged kicking and screaming from the plane of librarian. Very similar to an actual librarian in both usefulness and likelihood to run amok

Magnetic Sling
Earth|Earth|Order
Will bring metal things to you, or send them away... Very, very fast

Flame lance- Soulflame
Fire|Life|Order
What is a 'Soul'? I dunno, but burning it to enhance your spells is generally regarded as 'unhealthy'.

Stone Squeeze
Water|Water|Earth
Squeezing water from a stone is physically impossible. However using a stone as a conduit to host a 1-directional nth-dimentional gateway to the bottom of an ocean somewhere is So realistic

Bloom
Earth|Earth|Water
A favorite of Horticulturomancers everywhere, this makes the ground around you crazy fertile. Maybe even Supernaturally fertile.

YO, BE WARY The two above spells are really similar- gonna wanna get admin input on whether or not I can learn them both.

Spoiler: Golem Almanac (click to show/hide)

- Self: A golem's sense of being. All golems are created as mindless automatons, however those with a high 'Self' will eventually develop those pesky Self-Preservation instincts.
Addendum: Self also increases the chances of a golem developing sentience and going rogue.
Thankfully the more risky golems are -by their nature- unlikely to instantly attempt to kill their creator, but it's doubtful that they'd continue following their whims.

- Intelligence: A golem's ability to understand given commands. The most simple golems can only handle one or two monosylabular words. "Kill that", thankfully, usually does the trick.

- Special Ability: A golem's link to that beyond the mundane. If it goes boom, fizz, pop, wshh, or any other onomatopoeia, this is why.

- Longevity: Stone isn't actually meant to move and think, crazily enough. Sooner or later they all fall apart or become inert, and later is better

- Defense: Some golems are made tougher than others. This affects how hard it is to kill, if time isn't on your side

- Attack: General ability to hurt things. Whether it's because of natural martial prowess or the fact that their hands are on fire, this affects it

Magma Golem
Life|Fire|Earth
Feelin' hot, hot, hot

Unstable Golem
Life|Chaos|Earth
Just bombastic. Don't hug these.

Blighted Golem
Life|Death|Earth
Almost able to survive one swift kick, but has a sinister air. Seriously, don't hug.

Living Golem
Life|Water|Earth
Got wood? So smart, IT would probably groan at that pun... Except not, because wood isn't really that smart.

Faithful Golem
Life|Order|Earth
Like an elderly butler except it doesn't live as long and is infinitely more boring.

Strong Golem
Life|Order|Earth
Balls of steel not included. Take a while to pull up, take a lot longer to put down

[Harbingerjm]

Ren nods, briefly eying Ven, before stepping forward to pick up and don a Cloak.
"To the East, then."

Spoiler: Stasis Shard (click to show/hide)

Earth, Order, Order
Metal is shaped into a fairly small shard, about the size of a pencil, with a point at one end. The shard is outside the normal flow of time, rendering it inert and unresponsive to ongoing events... that is, until it is driven into a person or object, when it extends the effect to the thing in question, altering the flow of time for that subject. The shard (and any object so effected) is difficult to influence without spells specifically designed to do so, whether that be to move it, destroy it or otherwise alter it. Upon removal of the shard from the object in question, the effect ceases to effect it.

[Avis-Mergulus]

Ven looks slightly embarrassed.
- Don't look at me like that, it seemed like a clever thing to do. Yeah.

[Tack]

((I feel bad for inadvertently baiting you into that))

[Avis-Mergulus]

((Technically, I have pressed the seed matrix against my flesh. I am sure the human digestive tract can apply enough pressure to the seed to inject it. I hope so, because I'd hate to roll for "dig through remains of breakfast to find magic trinket")).

[GreatWyrmGold]

3) Unknown. It turns out that research into frying mages brains with carefully crafted spells (that also functionally require consent) is quite low for some reason.

So much for getting an insight into the game mechanics.

[The Froggy Ninja]

((May waitlisters begin compiling spells for when we get in?))

[Xantalos]

((My turnll be up in about 4 to 8 hours.))

[mastahcheese]

I vote for the east

[3man75]

Ptw

[Xantalos]

As I said, let's go east.

Spoiler: Entropic Flame (click to show/hide)

 Fire | Chaos | Death |
This bolt of flame is imbued with chaotic energy that unravels the life span of the target, shortening it by a significant number of years; the more magic imbued into the bolt, the more years. It can even kill someone outright if the number of years deducted exceeds the amount they'd live on their own.

[Tack]

((May waitlisters begin compiling spells for when we get in?))

((Not entirely sure yet if everyone's spell lists are different, or if a fire,fire,order spell will always produce flamelance.))

[mastahcheese]

Spoiler: Sandstorm-Earth/Air/Chaos (click to show/hide)

Harsh winds of sand are formed to blind and batter the targeted area.

Spoiler: Chain Lightning-Air/Fire/Chaos (click to show/hide)

Bolts of violent electricity lash out from the caster, and arcing itself between multiple targets.

Spoiler: Magma Hammer-Fire/Earth/Order (click to show/hide)

A grand warhammer of molten rock forms into being in the caster's hand. The handle is cool to the touch, and safe to wield, while the head is liquid, held together only by the flow of the magic that resides within it.
