send the crystal phoenix in first for light, if it's safe go inside

Your crystal bird is not phoenix. The spell you used to turn it into one exploded into your face rather than work.

from turn 199:

Seva sent out his crystal bird on an attack course against Easter. After spending so long with Seva, the crystal bird had transformed into a miniature phoenix, burning like a campfire. It helped it little, as Easter dodged the bird and leapt over Seva, smacking him on the back with his stinger. It was as if he was taunting Seva, and to add to insult, birdmage could see Easter's wings beginning to regrow.

the spell that exploded was me trying to make it bigger

LUCK [6]

Seva sent his crystal phoenix into the darkness and watched as its flames revealed mostly mud that had somehow managed to get in without filling the structure up to the ceiling. He lowered himself down and found that there was a layer of something hard enough to walk on just beneath the mud. How nice. However, the room was otherwise empty, meaning that any potential prize would need exploring other rooms, one of which was just through an archway to the north.

There was now enough power in the ritual for effects similar to those that could be seen before Royalty was created. Another of the sacrificial blades was lost, this one bent and shattered into dust. There was something akin to scalemail flashing in the storm of edges.

The worm spat a glob of something nasty again and again Cuberac dodged out of the way. He sent some more magic into his cubes and then sent them against the worm. The enchantment was rushed and of dubious effectiveness, but the worm decided to risk seeing if the tiny zipping things were edible. As the cube began blending what it could reach, the worm screeched for the first time.

It was done. The replicator would function. It was unrefined, unpolished, with nothing to make it easy to use but it would work. If Doktor released right now, he could start on his glorious army. On the other hand, all of the sacrifices were still in place. He could continue safely and skip past the comparatively weak prototypes.

Gambler looked as Markus very pointedly did not turn off the nanomachines. Yes, they would not really be a problem for next few hours by which time they'd likely have either finished this matter or the whole island. Yes, a moat of what is basically intelligent acid would be very effective. Really, it could be great. It was all about wether or not you found having a mass of mater subservient to another wizard just next to the Tower.

When there was no food left, the hive moved. That was how these things worked, although only rarely the move was done with fresh larva. Easter's increased bulk from suit and armor helped greatly to pick up all the larva and he set out north, flying over the mountains and reaching most distant of gemstone towers. The land here was strange and nothing was growing here. Huge crater was still glowing with heat to the east. There were some strange and possibly meaty creatures fighting against something skeletal not too far northeast.

Doktor continued pouring power, because if he was going to do this, it was worth doing it well the first time. After all, the bots it would produce would be only as good as the machine itself. Besides, nobody was here to make him hurry.

LUCK [9]

Seva looked over the next room under the light of crystal phoenix and found it to be far better preserved. The mud was still underfoot, but there was furniture here, a table with engravings, cupboards with broken jars, all of them plated with silver. The table seemed to have three circle shaped grooves cut into it, it seemed that something should had been there but was missing. Maybe they were scattered when whatever happened to this place was happening?

It was finished. The armor seemed to be made by bending and crisscrossing blades, skilfully keeping edges from cutting into the wearer. Several more blades rose into a collar, these were not protected and promised pain to any that would attempt to to strangle from behind. And that was important part of the armor because there were very few other ways to attack it's wearer. It was armor forged of double edged swords, it spread the metaphorical edges to any attacks upon the wearer, making them share harm. Any wound inflicted, by either spell or weapon

Cuberac saw a chance and wasted no time taking it. The cube that worm had caught went into overdrive, spinning and trashing as it could, blending inside of the worm to bits. The worm shrieked again and fell to the ground, dead. Something important was hit by the cube, which itself, alas, was also broken to bits. The cube swarm was now slightly smaller.

Easter rushed towards the battle lines, conjuring a poisoned stinger as he rushed. He stopped at just the right place, lifted the hand with the stinger and then dropped it on the ground as poison acted up, possibly agitated by movement. Looking at the stinger Easter noticed that it also wasn't too great for throwing, thick gland of poison on the end weighting the whole thing down rather unfortunately.
