Gambler decided to skip out on greeting those certainly nice mages. Being so nice, they probably won't take offense. The Tower was just as Gambler remembered it, full of mages doing some strange stuff. Some trading, some crafting, some wandering around.
Head to that tower.
Cuberac gripped his heating cube in a tight hug and began walking towards the tower his diamond eye saw. Slogging through the snow was an unappealing experience, only amplified by the difference in temperature between chest and feet. Finally, the tower was in sight. The entrance was thankfully not locked and there was no snow or wind inside. As Cuberac's eyes and ears adjusted to darkness and silence within the tower, he noticed a silent chanting coming from basement entrance that this tower apparently had.
Hey Chorkinan. What's up? Any reason why you're attacking a hole?
Transfer all sharpness caused by the essence collapse last turn into my fingertips so as to make my hand like that of Killua in hunter x hunter.killua
Skeliborn focused on his bones, on the very edge of them that formed a blade. He gripped the essence of the edge and shifted it, moving it to his nails, which grew and sharpened into spikes. As the spell finished it's work, the nails were a triangular spikes with sharp edges, fearsome natural weapon but rather obstructing if you wanted to hold anything.

Easter Sunday continued channeling power into the ritual, the lines outlining the future form began growing thicker and more complex. Wasplike features began to form, faint outline of wings and a stinger appeared.

Clownman focused on himself, and attempted to tear out one of his flaws by the roots. The flaw of being slow to learn how to communicate with creatures to be specific. He could feel as something left him, taking with it a fog that surrounded his mind, fog that he had not noticed before. He immediately noticed that the slime was becoming more curious with it's pseudopods and deduced that it was certainly attempting to communicate nicely from the lack of pressure pseudopods exerted on the balloon.

Seva had little interest in the stars or the telescope, although the open sky reminded him of business elsewhere. He was feeling well again, and with that his desire to stay in the Tower waned to none. He took flight through the open roof, night sky returning to daylight as soon as he rose above the half-ceiling and glided off towards the swamps.
Damond, Irritated Boxer Mage:
"You're a tough one! But I've got a bit more for you!"
Damond throws a GBM boosted punch... right at the troll's soul.

Troll was not a naturally swift creature, but just like alligator, it could catch unwary with an unexpectedly swift move once in a while. This was one such move and it caught Damond right in the jaw, chipping one of his teeth. Damond, however, was having enough of this slugging match. He recognized troll's great endurance, and threw a punch that would pierce any physical defenses. His fist stopped at the troll's chest, but his strike knocked a ghastly image out of the troll. The body collapsed, while the image stood around confused. It resolved confusion in the only way it knew, and ghost troll's arm rose for another punch. Some distance away, Jackson was singing a song that was not heard by anyone.

Duritarum took the opportunity as soon as it presented itself and fled through now no longer burning exit. The exit was a corridor, quite long and narrow, which reduced Duritarum's chances of dodging to nothing, a fact both burning skeletons made use of by throwing most powerful wave of fire yet. Even with all that effort, Duritarum continued his streak of resisting fire perfectly. The flames rolled over him without any harm, even his clothes were undamaged. In no time at all, he was in open air again.
Ah. Well, that cancels plan A.

Chorkinaan, deciding that pacifism and cooperation were rather stellar ideas, especially in face of fighting twice the number of mages he signed up for. However, the particular way in which Surg was stuck made helping him rather difficult without harming him further. That left Chorkinaan little to do but wait for Surg to help himself.
"I think i'm at the bottom."
Aim the PM'd spell into the floor near me(but not exactly where i am standing on, or anything near a wall).
Your situation looks like this
You are stuck in a crack because your foot is squeezed into paste and there is a rock on your shoulders. You are not standing on any floor.
Are you certain that is the spell you want to use?
Revelation Kahel has seen, was a bit too much for his weary mind. Of course, it did not mean that his psyche suddenly collapsed - no, mages could live through much, much more horrific events mentally unscarred. But it made him see the mistakes of his current ways and turn back towards more direct approach...
Leave the Tower. Walk in random direction, THEN greet the first non-Triad mage seen with a glorious 'Fireball'. Two +1 CMP essences, one +1/+2 essence and Lesser Blood Power.
('Fireball' - in most pyromaniacal practices, it is an orb of fiery death that explodes upon reaching the enemy. So, its probably equates to summoning a superheated/flammable orb-shaped liquid mass with following & ranged modifiers that combusts explosively upon coming in contact with any non-gaseous substance.)
((So, it's decided. Let the murder commence! I wish all mages present good luck and explosive fun.))

LUCK [2]
Kahel left the tower. It was an evil place, for no good place would house such horror. He spun around three times with his eyes closed and set off entirely at random, directly southwards. He crossed the plains, went into the forest and stopped almost exactly in the middle of it. A small branch fell on his shoulder causing him to look upwards and discover that there were vines with rather menacing looking spikes that were extending towards him.
"Progress marches onwards, I suppose."
Use a +1+1 essence to simplify the information contained within the manual, much in the same way I altered the alchemy book for my own use. Try and add a table of contents as well, if at all possible.
"That should complete the translation. My apologies for the delay."
Viznor suddenly glances downwards, abandoning his usual rigid posture.
"Having heard of your selflessness in healing others, I am ashamed to ask for anything in return. But, ah, if you do not have a use for those items..."
He somewhat awkwardly gestures to the magic containment box James is carrying, presumably referring to the various objects inside.

Viznor augmented the spell binding the instructions manual, forcing it to become actually useful for a casual user. Table of contents appeared, as well as clear instructions how to get to base position and how to change from base position to any other position with pictures for each form. The tome got only slightly thicker as a lot of useless technical information disappeared.

Magus N.A. was working away at focusing his power. The whole of the tower was a focus to him, and he was getting some very fine results. It was not particularly exciting, but excitement came later, along with victory and success.
Continue to reinforce the pyramid and create two chaos essences.
((Incidentally, could I get the pyramid's stats?))
The notion of cannibalistic rocks seems interesting, though I assume that they're entirely incapable of actually ingesting things. Nevertheless, conduct science by dumping Bernardo's corpse on them.
Blobs of liquid began floating in the air as gravity began to fail. The liquid was met by few small pebbles, few larger pieces and one particular stone which had certain pyramidine quality about it.
((This had nothing to do with Bernardo's law construct, right? I've postponed the investigation for quite a while.))
Search for the stone.

{Added Pyramid stats to Charsheet under NPC's}
The stones proved non-carnivorous and continued to try to eat each other and their less mobile brethren rather than Bernardo's corpse. This provided Xom with boredom, and thus, time for thoughts. Specifically, thoughts about how that pyramid cap was exactly the right size to be the pyramidine key he was chasing after in the volcano. The pyramid was now at full power, so recovering the key could be troublesome.
