Turn 237

Continue trudging on mushroomward! +3 essences.

(sniff, sniff...)

I smell murder.


Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chorkinaan continued his journey and soon found himself resting near the poison leaking mushroom from before. It was still as dangerous as it was before, but now with an added danger of some sort of dog sized aphid things that were drinking the poison.

Use my cube eye to find whoever just hit me, and consume my healing cube, if I still have it.

((I'm still near the top of the map, right?))

{Made invalid due to GM mistake. Another action can be written that will be retroactively done}

Summon 2 blades (2 spells)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Skeliborn conjured a pair of blades, one of them was a bronze shortsword, but the other was a steel blade so large that it was veering on the side of impractical. there was a triangle shaped widening at the top, making it at least as much of an ax as it was a sword.

continue ritual, boost with 2 +1/+2 essences and a +1/+1 essence, non-chaotic

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Seva continued pouring power into the ritual. These were going to be some damn impressive mud pigeons when he was done with this.

Three essences.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Magus continued gathering power, unlike so many others he knew that what this was all about was using maximum skill at an appropriate time, not blasting magic about willy nilly.

((Looks like Urghe-Ongho got duplicated during the duplication fix. Also, there's a stray copy of Filtiarn's grey dot running around. These multiverse shenanigans are really getting out of hand lately.))

Increase the mighty steed's dexterity! [+1/+2][+1/+1]
Make an essence!


{That's actually Cuberac, his purple and hex purple are the same.}

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Redrum paused in his journey for a moment and sent more power into his hydra, seeking to oil the old joints to make them a tad more dexterous. It kinda worked out but not to the point where he could consider the change significant. Maybe another go at it would solve this?

Essence roulette.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Gloomy conjured power until he could hold it no more. What remained flopped out through the window and flew off in a vaguely raven shaped form. Probably going to trade someone bad luck for eyeballs, none of Gloomy's business.

Cure the negative effects of his hypothermia.
Then 3 summoning essences.


Spoiler (click to show/hide)

James cast a spell on Ao. He tried to help and he was still bound by his oaths to help those in need. But the spell did not seem to want to take, some of the blood spots from frozen blood vessels vanished but quite a few still remained. But they were not life threatening, which was the goal for now.

"Unexp-pect-ted outc-come. It-ts good I was p-prep-pared..."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

No matter how much Ao slashed the air, he did not come any closer to figuring out what his sword did. There was a change in the air that was cut, but he couldn't figure out what it was. The cold was not helping either, he had warmed up a bit but this onl meant that that previously frozen bits were now starting to hurt.

Doktor, having recovered from a slight bit of temporal nonlinearity, returned to gathering power. He had a new project in mind already.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

What the-? Bah, I can't have these insects messing with my (among other things) research! Well then, time to field test my new blade! Royalty away!

Use royalty to cut the giant aphids to ribbons! Avoid damaging the mushroom too much, if possible.

I see six actions here, pretty sure there should be more. Since it's probably my fault for not adding the map on time, I'll wait until tomorrow morning and do the turn then.

Turn 237

3 essences

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Skeliborn, with a pair of fresh blades in hand, returned to gathering power. There would be a time for using it soon.

Try fine tuning my inaccurate cubes a bit more.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Well, the cubes stopped whizzing about. Even if it only happened because all of them were embedded into the ground, it was still an improvement, right? No, it wasn't. Cuberacc had only so much optimism and he wasn't going to waste it here. Soon, the cubes were back into their orbits.

Doktor Diabolical:

"Sacrifices will be needed for the ritual-er-aetheric resonance matrix."

Doktor Diabolical uses 2 +1 CMP essences and a chaotic +1/+1 essence to create(-1) a quantum computer(-?), then makes 2 essences.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A quantum computer, the great device that could instantly(sometimes) give you the correct(usually) answer. The perfect basis for housing an AI that was actually smart rather than just annoying in new ways. And Doktor now had one, not too big, it was a cube about two inches across. There were several empty ports for connections that were likely to remain unused in foreseeable future.

What the-? Bah, I can't have these insects messing with my (among other things) research! Well then, time to field test my new blade! Royalty away!

Use royalty to cut the giant aphids to ribbons! Avoid damaging the mushroom too much, if possible.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

With a flash of noncolor, Royalty cut straight around the mushroom and through the aphids. Several were immediately reduced to chunks, while others rushed to escape and managed to escape with only few wounds. The mushroom stood pristine, not a drop of ghastly sap was moved by the sword.

Three essences.

Did I ever get a list of the cantrips?


{You didn't, and I probably won't send you one. You can search for any spell you can imagine being useful around the house and I'll roll to see if you get it.}

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Magus continued pooling his power.

boost with 2 +1/+2 essences and a +1/+1 essence, non-chaotic
same essences used as last turn, then finish the ritual

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Seva felt the ritual power lurch and try to clash against itself. It burned brightly for a moment but then the light moved to a sacrifice and flared. Both light and the sacrifice vanished soon afterwards. This was close enough for his purposes and Seva released the ritual. Several birds formed from the mud, hardened into a solid earthy form and rose to the air. They began flying around Seva and his other birds regarded them critically from their perches on his shoulders.

2 essences.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Redrum continued collecting power.

Doktor Diabolical:

"Good. Very good."

Right ho. Mining fist bot keeps mining, because Doktor would like to get some ores for his factory... actually, Doktor Diabolical assembles(0) his recently created parts pile into a prospecting(-1) bot that obeys his orders(-1), using a +1 POT essence and a +1/+1 essence. It might not have the computing power to do its stuff right now, but when Doktor Diabolical plugs the quantum computer into it... afterwards, he makes 2 essences.
