Turn 75
James says to the Dragon:
"Congratulations on reaching godhood. What are your intentions?"
Then James shouts to everyone with his microphone:
"I know you're busy killing each other, but it would be in all our best interests to band together right now. We are stronger together. Join me in the forest by the lake if you're willing to ally."
Land in the forest, pick a few seeds from the tree.
Let it know that if it dies, I will plant its seeds and let them grow as completely natural trees.
Also craft 3 summoning essences.
{You crafted no essenses as you were distracted by what was happening in the lake. It was a bet you unknowingly made by listing essense making after movement. If you rolled higher, you would had snatched the shard from Dragon, something I wouldn't had given you the chance to if you posted essenses first.}

The dragon was a threat, one that was hard to get rid of. James knew that dragons were not passive beings, rather viewing all life as beneath them. Even a normal dragon would be a difficult opponent, but this was entirely new. It seemed to react favorably to the greeting, spreading its wings and striking a pose, yet in time it would surely bring destruction. And so James went back to the tree, which ignored him entirely, probably rightfully assuming that this new threat was also something caused by mages.
"Argghh! What in blazes just-"
No's anger flowed, and he used all 5 of his shards, 3 for potency, 2 for competency. He then proceeded to blast the sword mage atop him with a spell that- PM sent.
The spell I am using my shards for: causing the sword mage to see everybody as me.
Shape my sword into various spikes that snakes thrugh no.
Basicly send pointy lines all throughout his body
I apologize, but I needed to punch something. You just happened to be near. Sleep.

POT [5+1+3=8]Alex, noting that he was already lying down and that everyone else were occupied at the moment decided to take a nap. Demon summoning was not going too well, punching people was not going too well, maybe a bit of rest would improve his chances. He fell asleep immediately, completely ignoring sounds of two mages trying to kill each other literally within his arms reach. Dreams soon followed. Or were they truly dreams? A strange figure emerged from swirling darkness, a man dressed in white pajamas, holding a vase with a tulip in his right hand and a string of a hanging helium balloon in his left. "
How brave to sleep in a battlefield. Or is it lazy? Hmm? Maybe it is foolish. Possibly through luck you managed to place yourself in a favorable position here. But I do not believe in luck. You may have talent, would you like to test for it?"
Meanwhile, two other mages continued fighting for advantage. Flare hefted shortsword upwards, willing metal to strike out in dozens of blades, but alas. Due to rather loud snoring of Alex it was hard to focus, the chant was slightly off and the blades never detached from the sword. Spikes extended away in great numbers, overtaking any space in between each other, transforming once sword into a mace. Even worse, it seemed that whatever spell No was concocting succeeded, as where No was before, now there were two, both lying on the ground and one snoring obnoxiously.
{Alex, Cursed 4 turns}
GO TO WHERE NAV IS
Romanticarnus looked around the rare forest of plum trees, strange spiked dirt and root house standing in the middle. A mage wearing armor of adamantine was there, seemingly waiting for something or someone. Now that seemed like someone who would know a thing or two about his task, or at the very least, where one could get proper armor.
"Wha' was that? Ah dear, that's goin' to en' badly."

"Both."
Retaliate!
"It's a shame you probably wont be amenable to joining up with my friend and I, but I'll let you two settle it. I think I'm just going to step over here and watch for the moment, incase that dragon decides we look like snacks."
Don't want to be in the splash zone.
"Well, time to conduct some experiments..."
Heat up one small area of Crimson's body - elbow of the right hand, for example. See what happens and dodge consequences.

END [3]Kahel was quick to make use of curse he inflicted on Crimson, heating up a thin layer of right hands' elbow, creating an imbalance of heat, causing expanding metal to tear entire right arm below the elbow off. Loss of a limb did not faze most metal mage of them all, Crimson let a bolt of power lose from his spear, striking Kahel in his chest, though Temperature mage was no worse off for it. The bolt itself exhibited a curious quality - it did not stop attempting to move forward, forcing Kahel to throw the bolt to the side, where it flew off into the distance.
Dragon laughed at Jases' offer, it was a deep and rumbling laugh, joyous, yet menacing with unhidden threat.
"I am first and foremost a Dragon. A being with no burdens nor flaws. What uses have I for prophets or worshipers? But you have pleased me, I shall devour you last." Jase decided to move away, and not test the patience of this destructive overlord-to-be.
