Turn 152
Well, that's an interesting mix. Here goes nothing... Using all three essences, Chorkinaan attempts to patch up his flayed skull by creating a patch of physical magic, with its only asked physical properties being that it is flexible in a manner similar to cloth. If he succeeds, he then proceeds to dab up blood from around the wound with shreds of Henry's clothing. Chorkinaan notices a mysterious mechanical figure rising out of the water, and regards it with curiosity.

Having finished the battle with technically, merely a single strike, Chorkinnan turned to dealing with his wounds. He was under no allusions as to his medical skills, but it did not take a genius to figure out that the amount of blood that he was losing was unsustainable. Thus, as his first spell, Chorkinaan summoned a patch of same featureless material that he used and it covered the wound as cloth. The blood still seeped around the edges but the stream was reduced considerably, it seemed that it would now be able to seal naturally before Chorkinaan ran out of blood. Speaking of which, there was still rather much of it on Chorkinan’s face and especially his eye. Thankfully, Henry was no longer using his shirt and agreed to borrow it to Chorkinaan for wiping up the blood. It was nice to be able to see with both eyes again.
Oh,hello. Sorry for landing on you.
If treant is hostile, run. Try to get out of the forest
Otherwise, continue looking for a safer area
Seva, to make sure that he wasn’t angering treant capable of crushing ten of him with a single arm, greeted the treant and apologized from jumping onto it. Treant ignored Seva entirely and moved off after the supermole. Even though comparing sizes Seva was about as large as a sparrow would had been on an average apple tree, it was still a bit rude of treant, but Seva cared little. He moved on, deeper into the forest and higher up from the ground. Not long after that, he found a group of rather large nests at the very top of the forest. Each was over a half meter in diameter, and many were decorated in various bright colored scraps of cloth and metals. From above, Seva heard voices.
“Look new one”
“It is bright!”
“It looks strange”
“Let’s greet it!”A rather large creature landed next to Seva. It was smaller than him, but not by much, and it was followed by few others. The creature seemed a strange mix of bird and human, garbed in same colorful cloth that covered the nests to cover it’s human parts and provide decoration brown feathers failed to. They were forest harpies, as smart as their mountain cousins but curious instead of bloodthirsty.
“Hello new feathers” one of them greeted.
Well well well, seems like someones angry over the death of their buddies. Your luck is just about out though. You may have drained the power from some eternity but the thing is, now it's spread out which reduces its effectiveness due to distillation. Prepare to get wrecked by a blade somewhere along the tier of legendary.
Game over, Beholder. Game over.

The unpowered beholder and one of the larger ones remained on the Eternity, eating sizable chunks of it. The other of the larger ones left newfound lunch and moved to the mages that would want to chase them off. All of beholder's secondary eyes focused on Skeliborn and each of them unleashed white beams onto the mage. Few of them missed and another bounced off Skeliborn's sword, but few hit their target, making Skeliborn considerably slower. Nihilum reshaped his barrier to defend against any more of such beams, leaving Gambler and Skeliborn available to attack. Gambler charged first, slashing at beholder's main eye with his stiletto, leaving a wound that while shallow, quickly turned black and began to spread. Skeliborn charged in from the side, and slashed through eyestalks meeting almost no resistance. This beholder was rendered blind and magicless, but other two took this chance to feed on Eternity and grow. Smaller beholder grew to the size of the one they just dealt with, but the other one became even fiercer, all of beholder’s eyestalks now bore eyes and the center one turned cobalt. Its teeth grew larger and purple froth was now visible on them.
Wayfarer was silent for a moment. He stared at his opponent.
One might expect that the gigantic sword that just blocked his opponent's arrow could not be wielded by anybody smaller than a giant.
You would be quite wrong if you expected that.
Wayfarer grabs his absurdly huge sword and swings it at his winged enemy.

Wayfarer swung his blade overhead for maximum reach. It rose, slowly, and then fell with the kind of unstoppable momentum reserved to landslides. The strike proved as unsuccessful as Wayfarer's attempts to stop the blade from burying about a third of its length in the ground as Viznor rose higher up. Once again his wings aligned themselves to provide stable flight and arrow flew true this time. It caught Wayfarer in his left leg, a minor injury, but the magic within the arrow unwound and bound Wayfarer's ability to cast. While Wayfarer was trying his best to pull out his sword without putting too much weight on left leg, Viznor swooped down and grabbed the arrow that had missed before.
Craft 3 essences. Meditate and see if any good ideas come to me.

Bob sat down to think for a while on what to do next. He had no clue where his friend was, and little way of finding out. The solution was, to make himself visible so that Jiksap could find him. That was taken care of by summoning a T-rex. There was a possibility that someone would attack him, so it would be wise to get some defenses, but again, T-rex. There were of course all the mages going around that he'd probably eventually want to relieve of their shards, but there was no need to rush. That pretty much left only summoning more creatures as to prepare for all eventualities.
Summon Seed of Yggdrasil. Essences: +1/+1, +1/+2, +2CPM.

Shias, now finally having some time to do what he actually intended to do, called through the common ancestry of all plants all the way back to the archetype of all trees, the world tree Yggdrasil. From that tree he called back its essence and stored it in one of the seeds he had gathered. It grew in size, becoming as large as a fist, and became hard as a rock. Now he’d need to find a good place for it. Yggdrasils could grow anywhere, but if shias wanted to get good results he’d need to find a place where soil was rich in both magical and mundane.
Summon a cube-shaped power generator that runs on vespene gas. Use 1 +1 POT and 2 +1CMP essences to assist.

Cuberac called to the cubeverse again, and summoned forth a black cube with two valves marked "Input" and "output" on opposite sides of the black cube. It was probably a generator, as Cuberac didn’t feel the spell failing, but a generator of what, exactly? Vespene was too precious to be used as simple fuel by many of those that knew of it, and generator might be one to make something else than just electricity.
Clearly the suit was in desperate need of upgrades, particularly in the sensory department. Being near the water was probably not a good idea, though. And so stuff happens.
Move away from the water a bit. Probably towards that cool eldritch tower which managed to cross worlds. 2 essences along the way. Avoid any dangerous-looking specimens.

Jiksap got out of the water without any great hurry. The creature was probably too large to get out on waters this shallow. That it might notice something moving quickly was not a factor in the slightest. Not at all. Ground proved to be fairly even, which meant that Jiksap had no risk of hitting something with his foot and falling with a neat hard surface all around his head. The visor, though it left a lot to be desired, revealed to jiksap a familiar looking tower and a rather large looking beast on the way there. Jiksap moved out, taking some care to walk around the beast, and managed to reach the gates just as they finished closing up.
"Hello druids? My friend said I could find you here."
Walkie-talkie to Grundar.
"Hey. I found the branch, thank you for taking care of it. Did you find Jase yet?"
Reach out to the branch. Let it know I'm here and sorry about what happened. Ask how it feels.
This is a talking turn, so craft 3 summoning essences.

James looked around the sapling for any druids but saw none. It made sense that people who spend up to their entire lifetimes in the forests would be able to stay invisible among branches. James took his best unthreatening stance and called out to any druids that might be nearby. None answered. They were probably all out on a break or something. Grundar reported getting in the tower, but not finding Jase yet. Linking to the branch proved uncomplicated, but the thought within was nonexistent. There was a seed of thought there, but the tree was too small and hadn't commanded enough magic to house thoughts.
