"Hi, brethren. I am Robobert, Clay Giant. Bear thing hurt me. Smashed head. Felt weird."
I turn around, showing clawed back

[Hawk132]

Accept the soul. Should it also seek vengeance, I will take it in its stead.

[Coolrune206]

Probe the crystal cautiously with mana, then squelch over and hug it.

Turn 7

Ulkas the Black Imp

Flee! I really need easier target.

[6] You run for your life like you've never before ! The hungry Rock Eater pursues you, destroying the environment in the process. You finally reach a vast plateau, the Rock Eater still on your trail. A powerful demon suddenly comes down striking from the skies, and fell the Rock Eater in one blow.
Absorbing the mysterious energy from the now dead monster, the female demon turns toward you and approaches casually. You You get a better look of your "savior" : a blood-red humanoid demon with ink-black wings, she sports a feminine silhouette. You can feel a strong power emanating from her. She smirks and begins taunting you :

"Look like I just saved your life weakling. What can you offer me to pay your debt ?"

But she suddenly pauses. "You...you are an essence stealer too ?..."

You don't really understand what she is saying, but she doesn't seem to be a good Samaritan.

? the Aradian Mirage Beetle

Wounded and weakened, It appears the only remaining option is to retreat. Hopefully it will not pursue as I tend to my broken wings.

[3] You flee from the powerful monster, managing to get out of the danger. He doesn't pursue you, which is a good thing as you're now exhausted.
GM Roll : [1] nothing good/bad happens You rest a little, healing your wings.
You recover 3 HP

Robobert the Clay Golem

"Hi, brethren. I am Robobert, Clay Giant. Bear thing hurt me. Smashed head. Felt weird."
I turn around, showing clawed back

"You survived attack from Vorg Bear ? You strong. But you ignorant of power of yours."
You don't understand what is the Golem saying. He seems to get the hint, and keep speaking :
"You possess power. Can grow. Can become stronger fast. Come with me. I show you."

Ferratus the Animated Armor

Accept the soul. Should it also seek vengeance, I will take it in its stead.

[5] You stop struggling and accept the tormented soul into yourself.
"I accept you" you say solemnly.
Immediately, the soul stops struggling. You fall into a trance, and the shadowy voice speaks to you :
"You... you were like me. A knight, a warrior... Sorry for my foolishness, I can't thank you enough for pacifying me, accepting me. I was blind with pain and rage, and you saved me."

The voice is calmer than before. Almost human. There is no more trace of the torn tone of before.
"Will you let me offer you my skills fellow knight ? Though we both can't remember what we were, I feel like helping you is the right decision."

You feel new memories flowing through you.
You acquired a soul buddy.
You acquired the skills "Memories of an Axeman" and "Memories of a Lancer"
You gained +1 Individuality.

Squishy the Mana Slime

Probe the crystal cautiously with mana, then squelch over and hug it.

[3] You probe the strange crystal with your mana. You can feel something new from this crystal, a power familiar but foreign at the same time. This is not mana. And you are sure it is not harmful.
[5] As you begin hugging the crystal, it begins glowing brightly, illuminating the room. Then the light contained in the crystal accumulates into your body, you feel incredible power surging through you !

You have accumulated enough Essence to reach the next stage. What will you transform into ?
You unlocked the Essence bar.

When you transform, you can choose to modify your body, gain a point in an attribute and gain a trait and a skill.
You also gain a new species name in the process.

((Great transformation, you totally understood the concept. I have nothing to say. I will update your monster next turn))

[Coolrune206]

((Should I also throw in an action? Although it might be difficult to achieve considering I'm basically solidifying.))

[Nakéen]

((No need to, transforming count as an action. Oh, whatever. I will make you transform here and now because I'm tired of waiting ))

Transformation Success Roll : [4]
Filled with the power of the Essence, your slimy body undergoes massive changes. You can feel an image, a strong image. Focusing on it, your body changes according to your will.

But somewhere, something goes wrong. Very wrong.

Amidst the slow and non-invasive changes, you feel a sharp "spiky" feeling.

Unstable spark of mana crackles around you. Like some kind of electricity wildly flaying around you.
Your soft and gelatinous body harden and crystalize. You feel strong, resilient.
You feel so light. You realize you are now levitating, such an uncanny feeling.

The transformation over, your marvel at your new form. You feel like you're getting close to what you were meant to be.

You gained +1 Constitution
You lost the trait Flimsy
You acquired the trait Sharp Body
You acquired the skill Focus Mana
You are now a Mana Shardling
You acquired the skill Mana Spark, independently from your will !
