Summon a heating cube, using one +2/+1 chaotic essence and one +1 CMP chaotic essence.

"Okay then! Good! Let's get to it!"

Doktor attaches the quantum computer to the prospector, then has the prospector locate metal ores and the miner bot dig for those ores. Meanwhile, he makes 3 essences.

Is anyone else slightly concerned about the name of this turn?

Woah, that was... interesting. If only I had used that burst of magic magic for this, the results would have been undoubtedly fun. But, well, no use crying over spilled milk. Right, back to work!

Attempt to create a magic device with a funnel-shaped input on the side, leading down to a liquid reservoir which has a tap attached at the bottom. It doesn't have to actually do anything magical yet; I'll take care of that with future spells. It should have some amount of weight, though, so it doesn't just float off. Essences: 2 +1 CMP, 2 +1 POT

((Failbird, there is no sign of any character you may have had on the character spreadsheet. DG would probably let you join, though; the more the merrier.))

@Failbird105: there is no player limit. And you can take in action on the same turn you enter the game so feel free to put a bolded action under your character sheet

@Superweapons: Is that the necromancer's hydra, Some robot the good doctor is making, grey goose, or some other thing I haven't noticed yet?

Either way it can probably be dismantled if need be by a team of mages.

Aether lava isn't in danger of destroying my tree place, right?

If not, go to tree and meet up with Grundar. Give him most of my healing items. Also amulet, armour, and mace. Tell him I'm leaving and ask him to look after things and heal people that need it while I'm gone.

Then travel north while 3 summoning essences.

Turn 240

3 essences

Skeliborn continued pooling power.

"Many thanks for thawing me properly. I might have done it myself, but not as well as you did. So I'll try to repay your kindess in the future."

More sword experiments. Also, essence roulette just because I'm in good shape again.

Ao decided to test himself again, to see how much power he could manage to garher. Quite a lot as it turned out, and even as magic escaped it did so peacfully, leaving his eyes ocean blue.

Summon a heating cube, using one +2/+1 chaotic essence and one +1 CMP chaotic essence.

Cuberac, remembering the cold weather in the northeast mountains and how he got through, conjured himself another heating cube. This one was smaller, warmer and a little bit soft which allowed far better grip.

Doktor carefully wired the quantum computer into the prospector bot and sent it on its way. Soon, the miner bot changed direction and began digging a thin tunnel through the mountain.

Seva, now with his earth birds began exploring the mud filled rooms. What he found was mostly mud, but his left pinky managed to find a cabinet somewhere under the mud. Thankfully, due to good shoemaking, there was no harm. The emerald was proving just as enigmatic as the mud. It glowed, but that was it. Maybe it was a battery of some sorts? Did it need something to activate it?

Chorkinaan was fiddling with physicality, the bending of space and time was trivial compared to making a proper tap. It took some doing ant it was not going to impress anyone who had seen proper factory made examples but it would work. The rest of the container was far easier to do and he finished off swiftly.

Grundar, now far better armed and armored, waved James away as he went to explore the north. It was quite touching, especially with how James paused after every few steps to look back.

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.

I don't see your name in the charsheet among neither among the living nor dead, so probably not. Feel free to do so now if you wish.



The update came lateish and again PM-less because I caught the Stellaris virus. Should have PM's tomorrow though.

One last try at the dish. 2 +1/+1 essences. If it succeeds, pour the luck in. Otherwise, two essences.

Damn, that was tricky. I suppose that's what I get for attempting mechanization without the proper schools of magic ready. Now, let's see here...

Time to make the magic device actually do something! Add a small aura at the back of the funnel-input which cancels any of my physicality enchantments on liquids poured through. (So that, say for example, if I enchanted some flowing poison to gravitate directly into the funnel, it would then return to normal gravity and drop into the basin.) Afterwards create a tripod mount or something so the device can just be stood up on its own, with the tap accessible.
