Turn 202
4 essences
Woah, I kinda zoned out for a moment there. Back to preparing for the ritual, then? I'm ready to start whenever.

Skeliborn resumed his preparations as before the whole pollen fallout and was joined in this by Chorkinaan. Surg remained on the floor, seeing and experiencing gods knows what. The two wondered about what he could be seeing and if it was worth using the blade on him, but decided against him. A rude awakening might not end well.
((Shias... Using five weak essences, knowing well it is akin to death sentence in his circumstances. Why? And why I did not notice it earlier?
Yet another properly murderous mage prepares to bite the dust. And I still need some more revelations about nature of the world to take his place...))
"Unexpected fortune is always the most pleasant."
Ao smiled at his luck. What else could he wish for if the world was so generous to him? Oh, right. A rejuvenated body. He has spent far too much time lately practicing his mind and forgoing even the basic bodily needs, such as eating and sleeping, for a while.
Sit in meditative pose, regulate breathing and start the ritual.
Goal: Permanent Celestial Empowerment of the Body (all four stats).
Sacrifice: One Celestial Empowerment.. Will [Buff enchantment] sacrifice work? No sacrifice? If I'm wrong on both accounts - 4 essences and continue exploration while ethereal.
Add 3x +2 POT and 2x +1 POT on the first round of the ritual.
((It is very hard for me to fail rituals thanks to ridiculous luck that follows me in this incarnation.))
{Buff is also not an object. No sacrifice would technically work, but it would have to deal with 33% chance of fail with each turn. So not really.}

Ao left the observatory and ventured out into the tower again. This time he paused as he found a room that was fully furnished. It was unusual in this place, which is why he paused by it.
Doktor Diabolical:
"Odd! Diabolically odd! Still fairly nice, though. Oh well. More drones!"
Doktor Diabolical creates(-1) another robotic attack drone(-1 for flying, again?) that will obey his orders(-1). 3 +1/+1 essences, 1 +2 POT essence. Afterwards, he makes two essences.
Digger bot keeps digging the staircase, other bots idle.

LUCK [4]
Doktor conjured another bot, but this one turned out damaged. Doktor was going to say that it was damaged because there was no way he actually wanted a bot this lopsided. The propeller was positioned on the left and a way-too-heavy blade was hung on the right. This caused the bot to fly in circles whenever it tried to move, or just stay still in the air.
Three essences.

Gloomy returned to his meditation, content that there would be no interruption again. And if there were, well, he would educate them thoroughly on why that was a bad idea. But for now, whatever was happening was happening outside of this room and therefore, irrelevant.
"..Yeah, well that could have gone better. Or worse. But I'm not giving up on this just yet."
Khozek turns to his strangely idle partner with a slight frown on his face and then turns back to refocus on the task at hand.
Three essences. If I am to succeed in Project: Funny Valentine, I need better calculations.

Khozek looked over his friend who seemed to be swearing at thin air. Was it related to how he hasn't been doing much in past few minutes? Maybe. But it mattered little, he was going through with his own plan no matter what.
Fly higher, then dive. Make sure Easter hits the ground first and fast, don't care if I hit too, shouldn't hurt too much

Seva rose into the sky and rushed back into the ground. The impact sent a small rolling out, and sent air out of Eater's lungs. But he flew at a rather low speed, and the damage of the dive ended there. But Eater had had enough of this. He bent to his captured limb and bit into Seva's leg with his mandibles. He bit through the flames, heedless of the damage to himself. At last, he fell as the last of the flames connecting Seva's claw to the rest of him was severed.
{Seva has lost one of the claws in Phoenix form}
Keep trying to crush him.

Before Cuberac could get at Blake again, his enemy charged, grabbing onto Cuberac and dragging him to the ground. As they fell, Blake clipped Cuberac's solar plexus, nearly paralyzing him, but he failed to make use of it as the fall made his head spin again. Concussions were not that easy to shake off.
