Skelliborn:

It appears that someone got to the meteor here first. I best be moving on. Now lets see...

I ask for help from the g-d of the forge.
Hepheastus be his name.
He is the greatest smith of all
and may he have fortune and fame.

Today I beg of help from you,
because their is work I need help to do.
I pledge my loyalty to you,
and pledge my services too.

And if though doth not like my rhymes,
you need only speak
and I will oblige.


Action:
1. Pray to Hephaestus for help/guidance/protection.

if Hephaestus does not appear and doesn't give a sign that he will arrive then create 3 essences and head towards the eldritch portal thing.

if Hephaestus does appear and he tries to kill me (probably due to bad rhymes), try to appease him by giving him the teal crystal shards. If that doesn't work, run towards the eldritch portal and defend self using my previously created magic items.(Vortex Bane and the swiss army knife of protection)

if Hephaestus is friendly and appears, wait to see what he has to say and create 3 essences.

if Sun-Goku shows up instead, follow the same set of rules as stated for the appearance of Hephestus. (You never know, it might happen)

Wait. If you're protected from danger on the first turn, can't you use that to play infinite essence roulette?

((It doesn't work that way, unfortunately. I'm guessing it's mostly just a way to prevent deaths by magma-covered portal.))

((You can, however, submit an action to be carried out as soon as you enter the game. Should you ever need to make a new character, that would be a great time to play essence roulette.))

"Nothing to see here anymore... except the orb."
Pick the orb. Go west, and a bit south(1/3 of west).

Actualy, it does work that way. It is indeed there to prevent spawn camping, and there are rules beyond just first turn protection, but I don't want to tell them as people would likely abuse them.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

((Unfortunately... rules are there for abuse.
Add a rule that it doesn't protect someone from themselves. That includes collapsed essences.))

if Sun-Goku shows up instead, follow the same set of rules as stated for the appearance of Hephestus. (You never know, it might happen)

((I know exactly what the meteors are, and they have nothing to do with aliens. Or whatever "sun goku" is supposed to be, for that matter.))

((The Sun-Goku would be due to my trying to call on a g-d.
Sun-Goku is basically the type of g-d that to get his help he would point you towards the strongest monster in the game and then say "Kill It".))

Expedition to the portal!
On the way form a forearm mounted crossbow on the armguard. Make it a belt fed full auto crossbow.
4 healium essences.

Oh, and check with Grundar.
