Phil:
[
2] Phil can't quite find the watery area where the herbs were, but finds some random spot near a flat, slowly flowing stream that looks promising.
[

4] It is definitely true that that particular spot has potential for herb growth, as Phil discovers a clump of naturally-growing Goldenrods: ten, to be exact. They are semi-rare herbs that are extremely difficult to cultivate, tend to live in clean, nutrient-rich shallows, and are often used as a reagent by alchemists in their crazy attempts to transmute metals into gold. They fetch a price comparable to their weight in gold... which, to be honest, is not that much, since plants do not weigh that much. Their leaves look almost as if gold leaf (hehe) was applied along their veins, but otherwise they are nondescript. Phil harvests nine and acquires a cutting from the final one, just in case. +2 xp to EXPLORATION! Level up!
Incidentally, there is no need to hoe underwater.

Or ... is it paranoia? Roland doesn't notice anything particular.
He continues to be vigilant.
His Bloody herbs grow up into MATURE plants.

1] Roland feels INTENSE PARANOIA, though. -10% to the next luck roll. Everything is so suspicious! Why is the ground still? Why are his plants growing with no mishap? Why does it feel like something is wathcing him? Why, when he looks around, he sees nothing?
whyyyyy
MERCHANTA travelling merchant caravan has set up a market in town center. I recommend all players to do both farming/exploring/paranoid actions, and simultaneously interact with the merchant! I am also willing to do mini-updates for merchant interactions.
EARTHEarth's many consciousnesses are unified in their desire to wipe every living thing off ourselves and back into the ocean they came from.

Gather up the water, out of the aquifers and mud,

122500... Nothing happens. However, Earth actually has five units of water!
The problem, Earth realizes, is many-fold: it actually has quite big of a body, for one, and forcing water through non-porous bedrock is nearly impossible with the low amount of EEP Earth has. Next, the three humans combined have an incredible amount of sheer willpower, and that makes the supernaturally-compelled water shy away from the target.
In short, a brute-force attack is not possible yet.
What Earth could do is attempt to reduce AQUIFER RESISTANCE, increase its raw Earthen Power, perhaps gain more experience in water or magma attacks by attacking beings with less willpower (and potentially living right next to a volcano), and maybe somehow figure out a way to negate gravity.

Earth consumes 1 unit of water and mixes it with dirt, then exposes it to a little magma. Unfortunately, Earth is not quite an expert, and it solidifies to magmatic rock. Earth just melts the rock and gains an additional MAGMA.
Nigel shall not be harmed,
The TEMPEST ISLANDERS shall be defeated instead,
Much more of their land has been farmed,
We must strike this problem at its head.
One part of Earth suggests striking the TEMPEST ISLANDERS. While they do not have as extensive farming going on, they live on an extinct volcanic island. The path is there, and we only need to reopen it, then rain destruction on the land. Of course, it is immediately shouted down by the more bloodthirsty parts of Earth. The knowledge remains, however.
WHILE deliberating, generate a PILE of FIRE with IRE.
Yet another part of Earth goes to work on increasing its meagre pile of liquid fire and rock.

Minor note: It will be helpful if you super-emphatize the actual action part. Eg, if you will post in all bold, you could either caps or italicize your post. If your action for some reason was ignored, I probably didn't see it as one. Also wow, that's a lot of posts....>>

A young--or perhaps old?-- and definitely confused pseudolifeform with much potential.
magmatic stockpile: has 8. aka MP. Defying certain laws of thermodynamics, Earth collects magma for its nefarious purposes. Interestingly, the more MP Earth has, the easier it is to collect more MP: each point of MP contributes a 1% bonus to further MP-gathering rolls.
