[4, Malus] You scribble up some basic plans for armor to help reinforce her. Unfortunately it'd make her look like a slut.
Minor Action: Unacceptable. Tear up the plans and start over.

EDIT: By the way:

You're not sure if they're scrambling to make Pearl a warhammer or tell Gruelfist about your giant golem, but they seem very motivated either way.

She's perfect. Also a six-foot tall siege engine in the form of a beautifully sculpted female dwarf.
I think that six feet might have been a typo? I mean sure six feet is big from my dwarven perspective, but you seem to be describing her as huge and a siege engine, and six feet just doesn't seem to be right.

By the time you're able to move again, you're very wet and muddy from where Blacktongue dumped you, and she has your cloak.
Made me laugh. Also, you should have totally linked the appropriate video:P

((Would it be a minor or major action to get those parasites expelled into some type of jar where I can work on them later?))

Well, I guess I'm pretty much on my own for making everything better, then. Also, wet again :(

Minor action: Find my own apprentice channeler, not that lizard who's already been imprinted.

"EUREKA!"

New Major Action: Absorb some of the rain.
New Major Action: Use some bellows to create a vacuum, then absorb the vacuum.

This should give me the Absence of Rain affinity!

Seriously, ATHATH, we need to have an intervention about your death mug problem.

*slow clap* Well ATHATH congratulations. You managed to give the MC a mental breakdown before we even finished the first arc.
I didn't even read it first, I just saw it was ATHATH and noped it. Now that I read it x3 to noping

.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH OH GOD WHY!!!!!
Find a dry place try to quell my rage probably near blacktongue.
[4, Malus] You scurry up to Blacktongue's cabin, slip, and fall onto the hard deck. You limp into the room to find Blacktongue in an unusually good mood, wrapped in a leafy cloak of some kind.

Miner: Argue With Miners: [argument]well, There is the fact that it IS my hole in the wall; I dug it out when you said I should do it myself... and If you don't want to be dry then stand outside, but I am going to dig a deeper hole then the one I already have, and Stay dry.[/argument]
Minor: Find out if we have any bones lying about, and What we are doing with them.
[8, Poor] "Or we could find our own hole." For some reason you kind of get the feeling they're still too lazy to want to do that.

[4, Malus] You creep out everyone you ask about this. What? Do we have the bones of the slain or not?!

You don't find any on your own, though, so you're leaning towards not.

[3, Malus] You try to not make her look like a slut but that just leaves her looking like a ball of metal. Designing proper armor is hard.

((She's six feet tall with dwarven proportions. Unless you're envisioning a larger or leaner dwarf than I am, that's awfully big even if it's not especially tall.

It's true that she's a "siege engine" in terms of being implacable and strong, not in being built to punch through or climb over city walls, though. But like, if you imagine a nine foot tall stone human marching towards a city gate, your first thought is probably not "haha, that's not a siege weapon! silly wizards."

And yes, I totally should have. :))))

((Would it be a minor or major action to get those parasites expelled into some type of jar where I can work on them later?))
((Hm... I guess I'd let that slide as a minor action.))

Minor action: Find my own apprentice channeler, not that lizard who's already been imprinted.
[10, Poor] You find a dull-looking human talking with some of the other channelers.

"So I says to him, I says..."

They do not appear to be talking about interesting things.

Get channeler assistance, if I can.
[6, Poor] They appear to be mostly clustering around the dwarf, hoping to aid in his rain ward and finally be dry.

((And I forgot to mention from earlier, but no, the settlement doesn't have a name, at least that you've heard.))

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

Mongo's face soured in distaste as he looked at the channeler.
"You there. I find myself in the unfortunate position of being able to make use of an apprentice, and the colony could use a second healer. You may call me Master Mongo, the Magnificent. Now come with me."

Minor Action: Conscript that human channeler!
Major Action: Healer duty. Now with an "apprentice!" We shall wander around and perform preemptive anti-plague duty. The constant wet and alien environment demand it.
Major action: Produce lesser cloaks of dryness. Prioritize myself, then the non-thiefy two leaders, then my apprentice, then the other mages.

"Then at least help my magnificent projects wherever channeling is necessary, and preferably look for more convert- I mean, other channelers to assist in my projects. Preferably read some poetry to one of them and tell me the results; consider it a test!" Malacent said, gesturing in an unnecessarily dramatic way as he talked to the lizard-thing.

Then, almost as an afterthought, he added: "And what's your name, again? I need to add you to my inventory." he said before pulling out a piece of parchment.

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.
>Yes?
"Could you guys also make a hamburger out of this arm when they cut it off? I wanted to eat it just for the sake of tasting it."
>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

Omuz stares at his designs for a moment, before a metaphorical lightbulb goes off above his head. Yes of course! Massive iron war-balls, rolling across the battlefield! Crushing all! Robust due to their simple elegance, and probably not that hard to make. Possibly as "hamster balls" filled with golems running around as motive force, or powered directly, being themselves golems. He sets aside the designs to work on later before taking a nice swig of medicinal brandy as a nightcap.

Upending the flask above his head however, only a few drops came out. He had run out of alcohol again!

Minor Action: Get more alcohol posthaste! The grim spectre of sobriety is always hovering on the event horizon.

Minor action: Get a quick tissue sample from the fungus humanoid. Nothing invasive, just a bit of dead skin or something.
Minor action: Get the fungus person somewhere I can keep an eye on it. Treat it well, of course. It would be nice if I could keep it happy.
Minor action: Wait, we've got the corpse of a giant crab monster lying around? Get all sorts of samples from that pronto.
Minor action: Keep trying to get some interesting-looking corpses. Where are all the crazy monsters they promised me when I signed up?

After the apparently pointless meeting Sjig-Nak left to attend to it's own random meaningless impulses that would retroactively be justified as plans. First thing first, it needed to get these parasites out!

Minor action: Get the parasites taken out and stored in some type of jar or box with some meat for them to live in.

After the parasites were safely taken care of it was time to go out, with the proof of concept modifications to the insect proving to be feasible, it was time for mass production! And that would mean he would need more test subjects!

Major action: Force the  Snakipede to lead me to it's nest or home, and try to see if I can capture more, preferably it's young.

Lastly that nasty Pterodactyl, it needed to learn some manners, in the same way that the Snakipede did.

Major action: Rewire the Pterodactyl.
