The Gambler heads off to the forest making an essence as he travels.
If he gets there, he tries to find a suitable branch to serve as a weapon/wand-like item, making an essence as he does so.
Else, he makes another essence.

Gambler wasted no time getting up and moving towards the forest. Even though James did not seem too hostile, and forest would catch fire eventually, he had no desire to see if he could withstand a direct hit. Within the forest, it did not take long for Gambler to find a suitable branch to act as a club.
No tricks, no tricks at all because I honestly don't know what would happen if I took used part of the fountain of life's power, so tell me o'mighty ents, please tell me what would happen if I harnessed the power of this pool, hopefully before you crush me.
talk with the ents calm them down, if they still advance back away

Still you attempt to trick us. We know you are not that foolish. Ents closing in left precious little choice for Dwen. Negotiations failed and he was uncertain if it was even physically possible for ents to drink alcohol. But the trees were slow, even this close to the font. Dwen ran and ents were soon left behind. Brewer managed to clear forest easily, but this left him back near the lake with nothing to show for it.

Seva was enjoying himself, fresh air, songs of birds, and no one to disturb him. It was quite nice. Although the nature of this event would ensure that it would not last, it was quiet enough for now.
"Well. Thus the battle... eh I'm outnumbered."
"Outnumbered is relative. All you have to do is be a good enough mage."
"But I'm certainly not good enough!"
"Bah. Your perceptions are skewed. It is time to access the competitive side of your affinity."
Spasms of electricity expand from the visor, wracking the poor apiarist.
"AGHHHH!!!"
A few moments later, Jonas stood again, with a new perspective taken.
"Come. We will destroy the enemies of the Swarm, and of me by extension."
Jonas walks up to the purple legged man and applies a salvo of kicks. Anyone who interferes is hit with a PM spell. The elf minion will aid me in killing him, but his first priority will be defending me from anyone who would interfere. My bees will hang back and not act, unless I am attacked(not by the purple legged man, by another mage), in which case they will devote themselves to the purpose of stinging the offender's(not mine!) neck.

Jonas charged in, not giving Alex a moment to unnderstand what was happening. With a mighty leap Jonas flew at Alex, boot first, in an arc that finished when beekeepers boot impacted demonologists head. But dealing with demons was dangerous, and Alex would not be the mage he was if he couldnt take a few hits. He stood up and charged forward, his right hand outstreched. Jonas was still regaining his balance after that jumpkick, which left only Alerim to stand between Jonas and harm. And stand he certainly did, punching the outstreched hand of Alex away. But demonologist quickly changed targets, and the spell meant for Jonas was now used on Alerim. Elf cried out in pain as his left arm bubled up from heat released by a minor fire deamon sealed within. But the seal was done exceptionaly well, and after moments, wounds began glowing like embers, as fire demon fused with flesh.
MOAR POWAH. 3 more spatial essences.

END [5]Harden and Doctor continued focusing their power, yet it seemed that the volcano had quite enough of their presence. Dozens of magma rocks flew from the volcano towards the two mages. Soon, it became apparent that the majority of the rocks were flying towards Harden. It took some slick moves, but Harden managed to dodge the first wave of rocks entirely and second to the point where only injuries were bruises from some exceptionally close calls. Doctor on the other hand, while benefiting from not being the main target failed to dodge at all. One of the rocks crashed into Doctors shoulder, somehow knocking him falling backwards, yet inflicting only minor burns.
"That's a good entrance. Now for things, let's look at the throne room first. But where is the throne room? Better i look for it."
Look for the throne room.
It took Eterna a while to find what he was looking for. Eventually, after few dead ends, empty rooms and other nonsense involving a dark cabinet in which there was nothing but a rake, the strategy of following the most luxurious looking carpet worked out. Eterna saw the throne, beautifully crafted out of solid gold. On the throne he saw a misshapen corpse, chained to the throne, its limbs turned to gold and misshapen into mechanical forms.
Due to my previous attempts in body armor being a failure, this time, I will use force created with my spear to try and create a cloak made of solid (-1) force. Then one force essence after the attempt.

With Eterna gone inside the castle, duo paused their smugness and returned to meditation. Crimson attempted to forge another type of armor this time, a cloak to be precise. Yet, as if he was cursed to armorlesness, once more his effort returned a flat plate of force.
Try again for landing gear, use all non-chaos essences. Then 3 more summoning essences.

It would seem that James desire to land and not crash was now one step closer, as inbuilt computer confirmed that it indeed now had a usable landing gear. If any pilot would ever find out about this, there would certainly be some jealousy.

Viznor stood on the edge of the fleshy plain, the nightmare still clinging to his mind, causing him to doubt and rethink the choice. Yet would Gardeners wait too?
