Turn 23__________________________________________________________________
Make an Enchantment essence.
CMP [6+1=7]
POT [2+2=4]David caught by sudden desire to not blow himself up while casting, dexided to craft an esense of precision. It came out well, but was slightly more helpfull than nessesary. Sure, it would prevent death by misscast, but results may differ from primary plan.
{+2/+1, LUCK roll for extra Fun}
Grab the sword, and throw it at him! Then, collapse the castle wall onto his head!
"Hah! I'm just one step from magical efficiency!"
Using a handle of shadow warhammer, I push the stonemancer into the castle wall, optimally crushing his head with an impact.

DEX [5]Meanwhile, the duel between Isaac and Whaz continued. As now became almost routine, Whaz moved first. With great speed he rushed towards Isaac, not even bothering to swing his hammer. Isaac dodged away at the last moment possible, leaving Whaz to charge straight into the wall. Unfortunately for stonemancer, shadow mage managed to slow down enough to not sustain any damage greater than a bruise or few. Fortunately for stonemancer, he managed to roll away in the direction of the blade Whaz had left behind.
Ignoring a small cut on his right hand caused by slightly too precice of a roll towards the sword, Isaac grabed the blade and threw it. To his great surprise, in an astonishing show of skill, shadow mage managed to not only block the throw with his hammer, but also to catch the blade with his left hand. Not too fazed to forget the plan, stonemancer atempted to colapse entire castle wall on top of his assailant, yet both aim and power were off. A few bricks fell out of the wall above Isaac, mage managing to barely save his head, catching a brick to left shoulder instead.
{Bleeding 4 turns left}
"Grundar, could you please go explore those shipwrecks and bring me back something nice. Eat these if you get hurt."
Give Grundar the 3 healing pills and ask him to explore for me.
Try to communicate with the treetower again.
Craft 2 summoning essences.

POT [2+1+1-1=3]Like a real trooper, Grundar saluted and marched off towards the lake. James meanwhile resumed his atempts to speak to the treehouse. Five minutes of shouting later, treehouse responded in no way whatsoever. Maybe the people trying to make their plants grow faster by talking to them are morons, maybe you now look like one, the only thing clear is that your treehouse is not feeling chatty right now. With a dissapointed grunt, James resumed prepearing supplies for future summonings. His efforts netted a duo of esenses, one vastly supperior to the other.
Reach out with the aether to sense what affinities the creature has, since conversation isn't going too well.
CMP [1]
POT [4+1]Chosing the (possibly) shorter route, Jase looked in the aether making up the creature directly. What he saw was completely uniform void. Aether mage realised that he had made a wrong turn somwhere and now was wandering through creatures mind. Many things could had been here. Secrets of ancient times. Histories of long lost civilisations. Mysteries of advanced forms of magic. Memories of friends and family. Hopes and dreams. All were gone now, simply because he, James felt threatened. It was both sad and disturbing. Aether mage left the mind of the creaturre somwhat less upbeat.
Take the harpoons with me, could me a good source of directing my diseases. charge a disease essence once again, and look for any places of interest, particularly for making my diseases more potent
CMP [4+1=5]
POT [1+1=2]
LUCK [8]Crafting a fresh plague esense was as easy as usual, yet the idea of enchanting the plagues he wielded left Witness puzzled. Would there be any places where disease was rife here? Hardly, there were no swamps or anything simmiliar here. Nor there were any tropical enviroments. Besides, plagues from such places were already known to the plague mage. Suddenly, the Witness' face was split by a wide grin, as he remembered a place where he might find something new. The alien landscape contained within the salt fields. Yes, that might present some interesting oportunities.
Head outside of the cave then, once out in the open, swing my right arm from left to right in order to generate force. Using that, try to create a solid (-1) blade of force the size of a short sword extending out from my right arm.
CMP [6]
POT [2+1=3]Crimson thought that the time of respite best would be used to make a new weapon for himself. With the usual procedure to generate force, force mage began to weave a spell. The formula was right, yet the power was lacking, and thus spell atempted to compensate. Instead of creating a large solid blade, several tiny spikes of solid force sprouted over Crimsons right arm. Universe was probably trying to tell you something. That you missed a fantastinc oportunity in pimping bussines was probably not the thing, though you shouldn't write that one off just yet.
