Doktor Diabolical:
"Alright, let's see what we can do with all this..."
Doktor Diabolical orders the factory to create a laser array robot, that is, a large spider robot that bombards foes with powerful lasers. He helps along the construction using 2 +1/+1 essences, then makes 2 essences to replace them. Meanwhile, miner keeps mining, prospector keeps prospecting, hauler keeps hauling.

Although the factory was created to take the task of building bots off his hands, Doctor still felt the need to add his power to making this one. It would be his first proper combat bot. After the factory finished with noises of bending metal, a spider like bot walked out. On its back rested a laser turret and its hull was pale blue from mixed in adamantine. The miners were busy digging enough stuff for more of these.
Obtain the sword and examine it more closely. Then proceed to summon the warrior's soul into the spirit lantern, homing in on its connection with the blade and its skeletal remains to locate it. Meanwhile, have the hydra dig up another grave.

The sword was nothing special besides decent craftsmanship, but it was still useful. It was fortunate to find such burial sites for necromancers, as usually the soul was connected either to a body or an object important to the person. With graves like this, calling back a soul was almost trivial. Which really helped, as Redrum found his power barely sufficient to pull the soul back into the world and then into the lantern. Hydra meanwhile unearthed another corpse, this one without any metal bits but with some extra tattered cloth.
Continue onward and form 2 essences.

As it turned out, the snowstorm was not particularly natural and also quite contained. Cuberac found this out as the snow suddenly disappeared from his sight and was instead replaced by a clear sight of some sort of cave. It was too angular to be entirely natural, and was also really close, just a few steps away. From inside could be heard snoring as loud as a flowing avalanche.
Walk into the ruby tower, explaining that I am part of the dungeon maintenance crew. Should this fail, resort to wind blade on skeleton violence.

If the skeletons think something of Skeliborn's story, they do not reveal it. Their hands flare with sorcery as he comes closer, ready to cast if he takes but another step. Negotiations failed, Skeliborn went for plan B which resulted in both guarding skeletons becoming shorter by half as their spines were severed. Surprisingly, this impeded them only slightly and Skeliborn was forced to dodge fireballs.
Accompany him, attempting to look presentable while maintaining a safe way out and keeping him in front. When If it fails, stay back, switch the stiletto to a mace and have at them at range.

Seeing that the plan unsurprisingly failed, Gambler send his stiletto into the skull of one of the skeletons. Usually not a particularly useful weapon against bone, the stiletto more pushed the skull than broke it, but it pushed it into a ruby spike on the Tower's wall which caused the skull to spontaneously turn to ash. Gambler made a note to himself to not touch the ruby spikes.
try to make the trap into the shape of a bird, so that the treasure bird can wear it instead of being trapped by it
The thing about birds is that they are very light, which allows them to fly. The thing about silver is that it is a metal and therefore heavy. The end result is a treasure bird pinned to the ground by a silver replica of itself wrapped around it.
Three essences.

Magus continued gathering power.
Reposition factory device, retry gravity aura, intending just to affect the flowing poison. 2 +1 cmp essences (or equivalent non-chaotic essences)
Chorkinaan tried again at gathering the poison, not satisfied with the amount he already had. But this time he used less power, even if the mushroom had already fallen it could still roll if he made an accident. Poison gathered slowly within his container as Chorkinaan himself watched the mushroom. It remained still.
Four essences, then finish walking around the Tower. If nothing happens, wander inside. There are still many mysteries to unravel.

LUCK [10]
Ao returned to the corridors of the Tower and began walking. Walking was good. It led both the body and mind to new places. In this case, it led the body to the library where the mind caught onto a tome named "Encyclopedia of magical weapons:Swords". It seems that someone found enough time to make a catalog of all swords which had enough magic in them to get a name, or at least a designation.
