Turn 220
((I was aware of the fact that a ritual takes multiple turns, but not of the fact that complexity generates minimum power instead of maluses. Thanks.))
Doktor Diabolical:
"Blast. This is going to take a while."
Doktor Diabolical continues the aether resonance matrix, and throws in all of his current essences, assuming he can handle that.

{Ritual power:16 Of it chaotic:6 Sacrifices left:3}
Not wanting to stay here all day, Doktor surged all power he could into the resonance matrix. Ghostly imprints of parts rose form the sacrifices and began joining in the main circle. Already it had grown larger than the three devices combined, although it was still not finished.
(Sorry about my inactiveness.)
Use two of my essences to upgrade the axe. Afterwards, find out what's wrong with the grey goo.
{It's alright. Essences have different values, it's better to specify which you want to use. +1/+1 and +2/+2 were used.}

Markus was unsatisfied with low toughness of his weapon, it would be very inconvenient if it broke in the middle of combat. With that in mind, he activated the nanobots in the ax, if a piece broke off, repairing would be as simple as making the broken pieces touch, the nanobots would flow back into proper shape themselves. With ax done, Markus began prodding his gray goo. It seemed to be working actually, it managed to eat one of his hairs entirely fine. But it could not use whatever this purple stuff the Tower was made out of.
Try using the bladecubes to sever that beak.

Cuberac swiftly retaliated and sent his swarm of bladecubes against this strange worm. He targeted the main weapon, the tri-section beak that the worm used as it's main weapon. This proved less than a great idea, as all cubes bounced off the hard shell, one even shattering on impact. The worm swiftly retreated back underground and began burrowing towards Cuberac again.
Easter Sunday wears his new armor. He then makes 4 essence.

Easter put on his new armor. It fit like a glove, albeit made of extra hard metal and chitin hybrid. It would be very hard to injure him significantly while wearing this, although it had a flaw in that it had no gaps for wings, meaning that as long as he wore this he would be unable to fly. Well, with this armor he also had a few less reasons to fly.
Prepare for the ritual:
Arrange the rainbow blades in a circle surrounding the anvil.
Place the Rapier, Shortsword, Scimitar, and blade of purification in another circle aligned with the aetherial knife so as to complete the ritual circle.
3 essences while waiting for Chorkinaan to finish any other things he needs to finish.

Skeliborn carefully placed Rapier down and aligned it with untouchable aether knife. Some things had to be moved for proper alignment, the heavy anvil included. It would had been so much easier if only that damn dagger could had been moved. But he needed it and thus some anvil moving had to be involved.
Oh, it's time to get started? Perfect!
Since it seems the ritual isn't starting quiiiiiite yet, 3 essences.

Chorkinaan watched as Skeliborn spread out his collection of swords, taking up most of space in the smithy. There were some interesting items here, and enough sharp edges to equip world's biggest blender.
Three more essences.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
{Might I suggest killing someone? It will give you all kinds of great ideas as to what to do.}

Magus N.A. continued meditating.
Go fetch the lucky chair and use it. Then, make three essences.

Gambler returned to his throne and spoke the Name. The chair immediately activated and spat out an orange. It was not particularly exceptional, at least not in any ways Gambler could detect. So it did work. And no gods came to complain yet, so it was working quite well for now.
look for some wood(loose or on a tree) and some grasses or vines, use my claws to cut and shape wood and make a crude shovel
There is little wood in a swamp that isn't thoroughly rotten but Seva managed to find a tree that was slightly less dead than others here. Carving with sharp claws was not exactly easy, but not too hard either. At the end, Seva had a perfectly functional shovel.
