Turn 33__________________________________________________________________
"Careful, Crimson. These obelisks are in balance right now. If you disturb one of them, the results could be catastrophic. Although if you give me a little while to prepare, I believe I have a spell that might use them to our advantage."
Make two aether essences.

POT [5+1=6]

POT [3]The power here was truly great, but it was wild, meaningless, easily controlable. Jase could already see it in his mind, a slight nudge here, opening a path there, it will be easy! But even something as minor as directing it will require strength. But there were esenses for that.
"Alright. I'll head up and check around."
Fly up and look around for anything else interesting.
LUCK [4]Force mage blasted upwards with ease, his wings were fully rested from previous flight. Yet as Crimson looked around he saw nothing but mushroom tops. Mushrooms and some rather large birds. Somewhat nasty looking large birds. With long talons and sharp beaks. They did not look agresive. Probably. For now at least.
Not quite enough essenses. I'm weary to use the chaos essenses for this. Craft 4 more.
While I'm at it, try searching the water for any treasure, maybe the mech stirred something up.

LUCK [1]James was geting ready for his next move. A few more esenses joined the stash of power. Deciding to go look for some fresh air and possibly some treasure, mage finished the champane and opened the door to outside. The air was fine, yet possible loot was lacking. Probably floated away on the waves while mech was hard at work. Just as James started thinking abaut going back inside a strange noise atracted his atention. Just behind him a summoning vortex opened and from it a pair of cyborg doctor octopus in cloaks walked forth. From their vox units a bunch of static spilled forth, and then one of them pointed at James.
"You. How did you steal our walker prototype?" Nothing better to do, off to the vault. Craft an essence along the way

LUCK [2]
END [4+1=5]Creating an esense was still as easy as ever, and so, Witness set forth. He reached the vault quicly, surprisingly quicly. Entrance to the vault opened beneath his feet when plague mage believed that it was still some hundret meters away. Needless to say, the sudden fall was quite surprising. Yet not surprising enough to cause injury, plague mage landed on his feet and roled suffering no damage beyond some minor pain in the feet.
"Goddammit!"
If stone is prone to aging (cracks and crumbles), work with my sword. It may take some time...
Cast death grip (ranged) onto the mage when he gets into my sight, buying me some time. Or, preferably, stilling his heart.
Oh, and if I can free the other sword... Throwing, anyone?
Aoshi smiles. This is it! The first challenge on the path!
Let's collapse entire tower on him. Once again fast motions with my rocks and transferring vectors to supporting parts of the tower. Use remaining essences.
Mental spellbook:
Throw both stones upwards and just a moment before they leave my hands transfer their vectors to the target. Effect of this should result stones remaining in my hands and the target flying up with double speed.
Once target is falling and almost reaching floor/ground, double his motion vector.
Bash my rocks together with full force, and a moment before they meet eachother transfer vectors from them on to the target's respective brain hemispheres.
End result: Rocks stop before touching eachother, and target's brain is making nice mush of itself. Or at least he'll have a serious concussion.

END [4]
LUCK [6]The great guide shouted out a command and for the first time here he was faced with failure. Some of the bricks that made up the tower flew out of walls and fell inwards, yet the tower remained upright.
Whaz meanwhile, was doing quite a bit better. Few falling bricks fell on the pile that had traped him, their impact noticable but not painfull. The bricks proved suceptible to his sword too, although they still took quite a while to break. So far, shadow mage managed to get both of his hands and the backup sword free, though his chest and legs were still weighted down by stone.
Idle.
LUCK [8]Whatever the strange creature was, it walked away without as much as looking at Alexander.
"The being knew what it was dealing with well", thought the Weaponmaster.
