((I'm not particularly surprised myself, yet find it amusing. Still, probability of second council is close to zero - most of the mages present would die some time after the first because of dangerous experiments, powerful adversaries and slow deterioration back into bloodshed. Hopefully, this will get raise to a new, much more violent batch of newcomers that would ruin everything we strived to create and protect, and feast on the remnants of glorious past. Until another period of stability comes.))

"The chamber would definitely need some refreshing green. No matter how deep into arcane you dive, you should never fall to far from nature itself."

[Trewque]

(I intend to utilize all my non-chaotic paleomage essences to summon the obedient Utahraptor. Thanks for asking me for clarification, thegamemaster123.)

"There are many more mages here than when this contest began. And the numbers continue to increase, not decrease as one would expect in this type of contest. It would seem a majority here are interested in other goals than wanton slaughter. But it only takes one mage to ruin what seems to be peace here and turn it back into a bloodbath. We need a way to govern ourselves, to prevent needless death. It is not my goal to stop the violence, as that is why some mages have come. They may still tear at each other's throats, but they cannot be allowed to force their bloodlust upon others who do not seek it. We need a Council." Jase speaks solemnly, making sure his voice is still loud enough to be heard.

"And every council needs chambers. That is why I have come. I will build us a fortress, a sanctuary in this battlefield to prevent bloodshed for those who do not seek it. To that end, I ask any of you in support of this vision to grant me a few of your essences. I will need them if I am to make this hope a reality." Jase continues. Once he finishes, he watches the other mages for reactions.

"You have my agreement."

Ah I see a luck mage. You do realize that all luck is an extension of quantum immortality. Right? Also if you know a better way to summon a sword when normal magic appears blocked, I'm all ears.

Upon hearing this, the Gambler turns toward Skelliborn, a dark look upon his face.
"You do realize that all a blade is issa hunk of material, right?
Maybe I'm just a petty court magician peddlin' tricks, fakin' an' lyin' to earn my daily gold an' keep an' destined for an early grave when I get found out as a fraud.
Well, my experience is jus' a lil' bit dif'rent. Luck issa force. Measurable. Changeable. Beautiful. You can feel it, see how the events fall with my enchantments. I can feel tha strings an' courses o' fate themselves an' bind 'em to objects an' people. If ya give me enough time, I could rig the dice o' the gods 'emselves. But if ya need a bit a proof, I could jus' take your luck, if ya think ya so right. May the Mistress protect you, if you do."

"Honestly I have no idea why you think the g-d of blood is a big deal. He's only a minor deity where I come from. But if you really care so much about who I request a weapon from I will change which I ask to lend me their blade. Wouldn't want to create a riot in the case that it failed.

Oh and you underestimate the power of the blade. While a non-blade mage can't control a blade fully and thus can't match up to other mages, blade mages have been known forge or summon blades that slice through magic like a knife cuts through cheese. There is a reason that blades exist. Because every once in a while, a blade mage creates a good one that changes history.

But I do see your point about luck and lets face it, there isn't much I can do with my current silicon ball blade thingy. So I'd like to ask your help. If you increase my luck  to help me summon a decent weapon, I will pay you 3 shards."[/glow]

If The Gambler Accepts:
Pay The Gambler 3 Shards
Pray to Zeus
Summon the Lightning Blade Vortex

If The Gambler does not accept:
Hope that The Gambler Has not cursed you yet.
Attempt to summon 3 blade essences

"I don' care about your god o blood. I was jus' warnin' ya ta be careful 'cause they're usually a bit warlike an' violence's a bit o a bad idea 'ere right now. Ya insulted my honor an' my magic, an' tha's what I care about. If ya didn' mean it, I'll give ya a pardon. I've got a deal already going wit' a knowledge mage for some information, but you'll be next."

"Oh, perhaps you misunderstand my comments about your magic. Quantum immortality is an extremely high level concept and manipulating it takes an over the top level of skill. But if your prides still soar, I apologize for my miscommunication. I look forward to doing business with you. I will begin making some preparations while you do whatever it is you are currently dealing with."

My Actual Action:

craft 3 blade essences and ask other mages if they would like to play baseball with the silicon sphere thingy.

[Sarrak]

((star2wars3, please, for the sake of DG sanity, post only one action per turn. And bold it. You've already made three different statements in the current turn - simply striking out irrelevant ones would do wonders. Or, alternatively, edit your first action post if you want to change it.
Talking is completely fine, of course.))

You, the one wishes to know of Terminus gate? I suppose it would not hurt to extend the longevity of a paying customer.

As I am sure you know, the drawing of power from an external source is considered a ...risky act, among mages. This is, of course, due how the source in question may be alerted to, or, for that matter, disrupted by your action.

What you may not realize is that the possibility and impact of consequences are determined almost completely by chance. Taking into consideration your own specialty, I believe further explanation is unnecessary.

You two are going to leech power from the portal?

((Must you always think people are involved in some sort of conspiracy? There's a mechanic where people can "draw upon" some source they find to get +1+1 to their spell, but risk causing something bad to happen. It was used at various times by by Jonas, Kahel, and Harden, generally ending with some major mishap.))

((Also, before you take the mention of Jonas as proof that I'm talking about gods, the Great Swarm Queen was a different sort of disaster.))

"No one want to say anything about gold exterior? For now,I'll do this..."

Yes, yes I must, if I wish to survive for as long as possible (which I do).

How is that different from leeching power from the portal?

[DreamerGhost]

I'm afraid I have some bad news. There will not be an update today, nor tomorow (probably).

The why is a simple one - flu.

I shall return when I get better.

[Sarrak]

Get better! We'll wait for your return and try not to start killing each other for petty reasons.

((The base premise of the game was people doing exactly that though.))
