"We should be able to get more detailed information from here with some spells. If it's between using some of our resources and risking drawing attention, I'd prefer using the resource, at least for now."

Time for magical surveillance.

(Spells were rolled on discord. All succeed, total 22 mana spent, already recorded.)

Cast a spell using Glass Human to very briefly enchant the glass lenses in my binoculars to visually highlight humans through obstacles at the required range.

Afterwards, cast a similar spell using Glass Volatile Explosion, scanning for combustible fuel or other weaknesses.

And again, using Glass Lightning Grand Lodestone, scanning for electrical systems and generators.

And two more at once: Human Bird to give my eyes the increased resolution of an eagle, combined with Glass Diminish(reversed) on the binoculars to increase the "effective" size of the lenses.
With this pair of enchantments, make the following observations:

Check the fortress for surface features, like weapons, portholes, legs or wheels.
Examine the smaller machines surrounding it. Are they all the same, or varied? Do they seem more like soldiers or workers?
Observe the ground in front of the fortress and in its wake. What effect does its passing have on the terrain? Does it seem to be actively harvesting materials?

Regardless, record what I see on paper as accurately as possible, including both the fine detail and highlighting spells.

Also, ask Alek and Samson what Materials and mana they have, if they don't mind sharing.
Also, how does Fire in the Eyes work on a physical and/or metaphysical level? Like, is it actually injecting Fire into my eyes, or does it work differently?

If time permits, idly paint the landscape.

If I can do that grow spell +20 mana for a duration via an item (A ring of some kind), do it.  If I can do it with a mana charge and an illusion (of more normal muscles) do it.  If neither of those are possible, take the risk retroactively.

After that, and meeting up with Ekrov, make a close examination of the Rejuvination chamber, including partial disassembly (ie, removing the covers), check for words in it, and test out the bioshaper gloves on Benedict some.  What can it do?  Change size? shape? composition? cosmetic changes? etcetera.  If it seems safe, see if I can make any improvements on his familiar body, say to improve his base statline by rebuilding his body more efficiently.

What are the stats/mechanics for the completed suit of power armor?  To review:
--The basic exoskeleton is built from a Gravid combat robot that had its internal mechanics moved to the exterior of its shell, and should be about equally as powerful as any other robot of that type.  I really only wanted the mechanical parts here, but never specified to throw anything away, so it's probably no lighter than the other robots.  It is powered by a mainspring.  The brain is disconnected from everything, but probably not removed, unless it's very large indeed.
--The suit has an enchantment to follow the movements of the wearer, using the robot's strength to move it.  The enchantment is costless because it was grandfathered in. 
--I've layered two sets of plating on top of the exoskeleton.  The first layer of plating is made from the thin magic-resistant silver armor that we found in Gravid, and has full coverage aside from the joints.  The top layer is mundane steel, and is presumably also full coverage aside from the joints.

Go find a small rock, and use the Universal Solvent's power to switch the rock's solidity with a section of the air that's twice its size.  Do not breathe the rock, but grab the solid piece of air.  How long will the air remain solid?  And how long will the US's cooldown take?

Request a new list of materials for the next sculpture.

Aaand assist Saeko with the stuff she wants.  In addition to that, use Human to restore her teeth and digestive tract to normal human versions.  Permanent enchant, because only being able to eat raw meat is a bit crippling and unlikely to ever be a good option.

Name: Ekrov Trenian Vyachilad
Description: A noble's son, Ekrov is a boy on the cusp of adulthood, and barely looks it.  His hands are soft, his appearance somewhat unkempt, but his body has toughened from his time on the road.  He's no longer scrawny, though he's still somewhat short--though it's hard to tell whether that's due to age or genetics.  His eyes are calm and constantly look around in absentminded wonderment; he seems continually fascinated, but almost amused as well, as if there's a hidden joke in everything he sees.  He wears a clearly high-quality outfit, but to his credit it looks unusually practical for a noble, subdued brown in color and light aside from thin pieces of light leather in strategic locations, clearly intended more as protection than a fashion statement.  He carries a small backpack, and wears a light cloak that's had an absurd number of little pockets clumsily sewn into it.  He has a very large third eye in the center of his forehead.  It is rotated ninety degrees from his other eyes, and has a glittering gold iris set into an entirely black sclera.  It cannot turn to look at things without him moving his entire head, and is rock solid.  -  Additionally, he has visible veins of glowing magic patterned over his skin, slowly pulsing and flowing.  Mutation: He is quite flexible and springy, kinda like a Champion Yoga contortionist who might also be the illegitimate love child of a snake and a Slinky. In most contexts, this isn't apparent from looking at him, but if he wanted he could totally lick his own elbow...

: Link to description of thaumic transport planegolembugstatue thing.  Its shielding systems are tough enough to protect it if it landed in a forest, but would drain some amount of power.

Twelve fully assembled, but unpowered, combat robots.  Another has been mostly assembled but has some issue.  All are of the variety found in Gravid, and one assembled one has been left in Gravid.  _{three incomplete bodies worth of parts are left, with maybe three more being buildable from scraps.}
Gravid golems: (Description here.)

A small thaumic fighter plane golem thing.
--Possesses weapons that "Look like a combination of greatly focused lightning, fire, and iron. Hard to say exactly how it would manifest without trying it, but you do know you don't want to be in front of it when it goes off." and it also has "weapons systems, automatic flight systems, gravity minimization systems...thrust using force and wind...some kind of kinetic shield using force..."

Two broken clockwork robots, shoved in crates.  Details here,  here, and here.  And a question about rewriting their minds here.
A pair of strength-increasing clockwork gauntlets, which were clearly meant to be used by the robots, "seemingly for bending metal".
A strange blunt clockwork circular saw that is extremely effective at cutting through metal.
A  straight bladed clockwork sword, with a slot in the bottom for a power cell.  It is a lightning saber; when properly empowered, it will produce high heat and electrical discharge that will greatly enhance both its cutting power and the damage it causes.  It needs a power cell of the right size; which is basically a charged battery.
A large bag of bomblets, taken from an unexploded clockwork bomb.

The design and construction for a full combat robot, of the kind found in Gravid.
The structure and enchantment framework of a flying thaumic warmachine, found within Gravid.  Incomplete, due to Ekrov's lack of understanding about how the machine knows what to do.
The structure and functioning of a thaumic rifle, found within Gravid.
Even more sketches on how complex thaumic devices work, in particular dealing with the spirits that animate them and give them some degree of life and sentience.

TO-DO LIST:
MEMORY TINKER!!!
Finish the clockwork power armor.  Need steel plating.
Go shopping for artifact supplies.
Retrieve invoker Feline, using this rumor: "there is a jade statue out in the desert near Balneum Mariae of a giant feline that is supposed to have the word for feline carved on it. Supposed to be north somewhere of the oasis"


Clockwork stuff:
Fix a robot  Fix ALL the robots.
Try to reverse engineer and understand those power pellet crucibles.
Fix the broken machine guns
Look into cloning machine gun ammo?  Probably not something we'll care about ever, but I wanna DAKKA...
Find out where all these clockwork things are coming from.  Apparently they might actually come from Candentis?  Investigate the floating islands above the clouds, maybe set up a satellite system so Saeko can become a corporate villain and charge outrageous prices for internet connection.

Make thaumic tools run on thaum, rather than mana or magicoal.

Cache A: The buried death pellet furnaces, both the unopened ones and the empty opened one.
Cache B: All the unexploded bombs from the wreck, including one that's been opened and had some of the bomblets taken out.
Cache C: The rest of the loot from the wreck, buried inside crates.  Contains:

"A large number of tools (These are what you could call mundane tools like wrenches, screw drivers, plyers, and the like. There are a lot of them in different sizes and shapes but none are hugely rare or valuable on their own. Though they are admittedly well made.)"
"A pnumatic self heating rivet gun and the air compressor for it"
"A sort of 'Jaws of Life' style combination spreader and cutter. Basically a massive pnumatic pair of plyers/snips."
"3 more working machine guns, and a half dozen that are broken in some way"  ((These deal "d12 [damage], if memory serves, though they often roll multiples."))
"About 10 or so big boxes of ammo (there are a lot of loose belts around so the amount isn't exact)"
"A welding system"

She's been left in Gravid indefinitely, living off of the mana tap in the magicoal pile room.  She gets mana from a gold wire under the wall of steel blocking the entrance.  She has a single combat clockwork robot, which has had its gearbrain rewritten to make it follow orders given to it in our language.  The robot refuses to deal any notable damage to anything unless a specific order is used, and confirms the exact thing to be damaged in a very explicit manner.  It has no directive AI beyond following orders, and in the absence of them will just sit still and do nothing.

Languages known: English, Japanese.

[piecewise]

Well, treating that kind of thing just so happens to be what I actively practiced before all of this, and considered my primary profession for the longest time. So I'll do what I can for them and note down anyone that I want to check up on the next time I cycle around. Then once I'm comfortable with leaving things as they are I'll be moving on.

Most of these cannot be treated with traditional medicine. Do you want to use spells to restore function to lost or damaged limbs for instance? Use the Aqua Vitae?  Just do your best with mundane actions?

Nobody seems to be in urgent need of rescue or help here, so let's just move on.

The boat travels another quarter of a mile or so before suddenly jerking to a stop and throwing you both off your feet. You push yourself up onto your hands and knees and look towards the stern  just as an enormous black pincer  reaches over the railing and sweeps across the deck like a scythe. You're far enough back not to be hit this time, but it scours the deck clean in an instant  before the entire ship rocks forwards. You can't see what the claw is connected to, but whatever it is its clinging the front of the ship  and climbing up.

You discover a passage in one of the nearby wrecked buildings, under some rubble.  You light a torch and head in. Almost immediately you come across signs of others having been here recently. They don't seem to have gotten in the same way you did, but they came this way. There are chalk "X"s on passage entrances and after following these for a while through pitch dark subterranean passages you find several items spilled out on the ground: A lantern, some food, a few feet of rope, and several scraps of fabric. There is a bit of blood as well.

We can do it via a ring you wear. - 8+20 mana so -28 mana. This makes you about 6 feet tall and more proportional.

The chamber is basically something like a tanning bed but when supplied with mana it heals whatever is in it. Runs off words of "Restore" and "Human" by the look of it.  Bioshaper is basically a pair of gloves attached to a central pack that, when mana is pumped in, lets you mold flesh like clay. You can switch out crystals in ports on the main box to do things like add feathers or fur. Works on any animal and is as safe as your roll to modify them. Mana used depends on size of the changes.

A small thaumic fighter plane golem thing.
--Possesses weapons that "Look like a combination of greatly focused lightning, fire, and iron. Hard to say exactly how it would manifest without trying it, but you do know you don't want to be in front of it when it goes off." and it also has "weapons systems, automatic flight systems, gravity minimization systems...thrust using force and wind...some kind of kinetic shield using force..."

Two broken clockwork robots, shoved in crates.  Details here,  here, and here.  And a question about rewriting their minds here.

A strange blunt clockwork circular saw that is extremely effective at cutting through metal.
A  straight bladed clockwork sword, with a slot in the bottom for a power cell.  It is a lightning saber; when properly empowered, it will produce high heat and electrical discharge that will greatly enhance both its cutting power and the damage it causes.  It needs a power cell of the right size; which is basically a charged battery.

Cache C: The rest of the loot from the wreck, buried inside crates.  Contains:

"A large number of tools (These are what you could call mundane tools like wrenches, screw drivers, plyers, and the like. There are a lot of them in different sizes and shapes but none are hugely rare or valuable on their own. Though they are admittedly well made.)"
"A pnumatic self heating rivet gun and the air compressor for it"
"A sort of 'Jaws of Life' style combination spreader and cutter. Basically a massive pnumatic pair of plyers/snips."
"3 more working machine guns, and a half dozen that are broken in some way"  ((These deal "d12 [damage], if memory serves, though they often roll multiples."))

[9+4v3] MUTATION.
Saeko's teeth and such are back to normal and she no longer just eats meat. Unfortunately she now must eat gold to survive.

"We should be able to get more detailed information from here with some spells. If it's between using some of our resources and risking drawing attention, I'd prefer using the resource, at least for now."

Time for magical surveillance.

(Spells were rolled on discord. All succeed, total 22 mana spent, already recorded.)

Cast a spell using Glass Human to very briefly enchant the glass lenses in my binoculars to visually highlight humans through obstacles at the required range.

Afterwards, cast a similar spell using Glass Volatile Explosion, scanning for combustible fuel or other weaknesses.

And again, using Glass Lightning Grand Lodestone, scanning for electrical systems and generators.

And two more at once: Human Bird to give my eyes the increased resolution of an eagle, combined with Glass Diminish(reversed) on the binoculars to increase the "effective" size of the lenses.
With this pair of enchantments, make the following observations:

Check the fortress for surface features, like weapons, portholes, legs or wheels.
Examine the smaller machines surrounding it. Are they all the same, or varied? Do they seem more like soldiers or workers?
Observe the ground in front of the fortress and in its wake. What effect does its passing have on the terrain? Does it seem to be actively harvesting materials?

Regardless, record what I see on paper as accurately as possible, including both the fine detail and highlighting spells.

Also, ask Alek and Samson what Materials and mana they have, if they don't mind sharing.
Also, how does Fire in the Eyes work on a physical and/or metaphysical level? Like, is it actually injecting Fire into my eyes, or does it work differently?

If time permits, idly paint the landscape.

1. No humans
2. Some combustables in the form of ammunition, but not much actually
3. Looks like another power system like in that airship; ie deadly pellets that heat water for steam engines, in conjunction with springs and other mechanical power.
4. The fortress rolls on enormous treads by the look of it. Its got a ton of guns and cannons across its surface; practically porcupined with them.  Port holes are thin vertical slits, almost like the archer holes in a castle's wall.
5.Most of what you can make out around the thing are flying bots of various kinds. Most common resembles something like a mosquito or dragon fly, moving about eratically or circling the fortress. There are some on the ground, but they seem mostly to be walking in the path of the fortress, checking to make sure the path is clear.
6. Ok. its all written down and drawn.

Rest will have to wait till next turn.

Mundane actions all that I can handle that way, but any that can't be handled that way I'll consider using the Aqua Vitae on a case-by-case basis. I don't see any ways to use Sound or Accelerate to heal beyond specific unusual cases so using spells to heal is non-feasible. If there's a lot of people that need help then I need to start questioning why there's so many injured here in the first place.

For the specific case of non-functional limbs I'll go ahead and try to use the Aqua Vitae to do what I can. I'll want to know the details of how this in particular goes so I get a better feel for the artifact's limits.

Spoiler: Nina (click to show/hide)

Name: Nina Morellis
Appearance: A young, red-haired woman, green eyes, somewhat unkempt. She's had Adam for as long as she could remember, and has a bit of a reputation as a harmless nut. The town guard are okay with Nina though, occasionally getting her help keeping a mage secured by having her drain their mana so they can't cast. Since they don't have a proper magehunter available, having a local civilian channeler they can bring in as needed is a big help. And Nina tries to be on her best behavior with them to keep their relations good. Nina herself works as a healer, living out in the poor part of town, and has an erratic schedule based on the needs of those who want her help. so she has a lot of free time, but also gets woken up in the middle of the night a lot. add in Adam's occasional antics and she doesn't get to have a stable sleep schedule.

Magic Path: Channeler, Invoker.

Materials: Sound, Accelerate
Mana: 100

Strength: D4+1
Speed: D6+1
Endurance: D10+1
Knowledge: D8+1
Will: D10+1

Inventory: 25 gold, a few sacks of food, 2 silver, aqua vitae, Backpack, padded cloak (D4 protection, Light armor), doctor's bag, walking stave, Lantern, Medicine backpack, The healer's handbook, Surgeon's Kit, Excorcist's kit, Doctor's Cloak.

Inhabited by a spirit which takes the form of a floating disembodied limb that constantly melts and reforms into other body parts. She calls it "Adam."

Cabal: None at this time.

Lets get recruiting for the base I want to build, as well as gathering the materials necessary, to be shunted into the moth-mobile.

I had the price estimated at a few thousand, but it'd probably be more than that, as I want a few unusual features for a mansion:

1. A large workshop for Ekrov's robots and such.
2. An underground vault, for storing dangerous materials.  We'll be fitting it with a magic lock and other security measures.
3. An oversized bathhouse, for bathing and for washing any giant animals which should happen to be acquired.
4. High ceilings and wide hallways.  Should be able to get a large horse around.

Should still cost much less than our financial resources.

There are other less important features, such as a workroom with jeweller's tools, a small forge and armoury, etc, but nothing else extraordinary.  Some magical things, but those will be done when relevant.

As for recruiting, well, there will need to be a work crew for building the thing.  For permanent servants, I'm estimating maybe a dozen or so people, including maybe another four or so guards.  Most important is to find a steward to run the place and handle the pay when absent.

Air that has been frozen solid

((...How convenient!))

Go buy a miniature of a cat.  And see if there's someone selling ocean water for some reason.

When you say that the clockwork power armor has d12 str and 4 armor, what does that mean?  I assume d12 str means it buffs the wearer's strength to d12, but 4 armor...?  Does it grant d12+4 armor, while only needing d12 end?

Can the universal lubricant swap "edibility" between some gold and an apple, to allow Saeko to survive off the apple without actually having to eat the gold?  If so, does this render the gold non-valuable, defeating the purpose since she still loses the value of the gold?

Tests for the UNIVERSAL LUBRICANT! in the spoiler below.

Spoiler: In here! (click to show/hide)

4. If I swap "solidity" between two things of very different size, does that result in different properties than if the things were the same size?  Is a pebble's soldity, spread into a three-foot sphere of air, still just as solid as if it were put into a one inch sphere of air?

5. Same test as above, but with weight.  If an entire boulder's weight is put into a small pebble, does this effect no change (because the two rocks have the same weight by volume), or does it result in a superheavy pebble, and a boulder like styrofoam?

6. Take a piece of paper and fold it into some origami shape that can fit inside a cup.  Then fill the cup with water, and swap the paper's solidity with the water in the cup... but in the same shape as the origami.  The goal is to make an origami shape out of solid water, that can then be picked up out of the cup, maintaining the shape.  Does this work?

7. What is the range limit on the Universal Lubricant?

8. Is there a line of sight limit on the Universal Lubricant?

9. Can the universal lubricant affect only a limited component of a mixture?  Say, take some dye, and mix it with water in a cup.  Then swap the dye's weight with a large rock.  Does the dye separate from the water, sinking to the bottom?  Or does the enter cup of liquid get affected by the weight change?

Spoiler: creepy oracle kid (click to show/hide)

Name: Ekrov Trenian Vyachilad
Description: A noble's son, Ekrov is a boy on the cusp of adulthood, and barely looks it.  His hands are soft, his appearance somewhat unkempt, but his body has toughened from his time on the road.  He's no longer scrawny, though he's still somewhat short--though it's hard to tell whether that's due to age or genetics.  His eyes are calm and constantly look around in absentminded wonderment; he seems continually fascinated, but almost amused as well, as if there's a hidden joke in everything he sees.  He wears a clearly high-quality outfit, but to his credit it looks unusually practical for a noble, subdued brown in color and light aside from thin pieces of light leather in strategic locations, clearly intended more as protection than a fashion statement.  He carries a small backpack, and wears a light cloak that's had an absurd number of little pockets clumsily sewn into it.  He has a very large third eye in the center of his forehead.  It is rotated ninety degrees from his other eyes, and has a glittering gold iris set into an entirely black sclera.  It cannot turn to look at things without him moving his entire head, and is rock solid.  -  Additionally, he has visible veins of glowing magic patterned over his skin, slowly pulsing and flowing.  Mutation: He is quite flexible and springy, kinda like a Champion Yoga contortionist who might also be the illegitimate love child of a snake and a Slinky. In most contexts, this isn't apparent from looking at him, but if he wanted he could totally lick his own elbow...

Retreat a bit to stay out of claw range, but try to stick near/behind Ecalir. Assist with the shooting, also try to target eyes/vulnerable parts.

Should Ecalir be forced to go into melee, then assist him by using the sunbro staff to make the river/shore plants grow so they constrict the creature and hold it in place. Especially try to constrict/hinder its claws or other 'weapons' it may have. If there aren't enough plants around for that, try using the wood of the ship.

If that is also not viable, support him instead by doing an illusion spell using 'Radiation' to make the creature think there are flashing lights in front of it (to try and blind it). It only needs to last for a very short while, just to give Ecalir the chance to close in and do his thing.

As per mana, Samson says she has something like 200 currently and around that "stored". She doesn't know about Alek.

You ask her about the "Fire in the eyes" thing and she pokes your chest with one gauntleted finger.

"Our flesh ain't human remember? That was burnt away. We're divine stuff now; you think god needs a lantern? Fire in the eyes is just what we call it, but its..." She closes her eyes and rocks her head back and forth, thinking, "I dunno. Like turning on that divinity or something? Not quite but its hard to explain."

The moving fortress suddenly grinds to a halt and its hundreds of guns and turrets begin to spin round. They finally stop, pointed towards the kingdom in the west.

"Looks like they're lining up to fire on something" Samson says, tracing an invisible line with her finger from the fortress out towards the horizon in west. "I don't like. We should get back. Report in.  I got a bad feeling there's more like that around here, forming a firing line."

Mundane actions all that I can handle that way, but any that can't be handled that way I'll consider using the Aqua Vitae on a case-by-case basis. I don't see any ways to use Sound or Accelerate to heal beyond specific unusual cases so using spells to heal is non-feasible. If there's a lot of people that need help then I need to start questioning why there's so many injured here in the first place.

For the specific case of non-functional limbs I'll go ahead and try to use the Aqua Vitae to do what I can. I'll want to know the details of how this in particular goes so I get a better feel for the artifact's limits.

Spoiler: Nina (click to show/hide)

Name: Nina Morellis
Appearance: A young, red-haired woman, green eyes, somewhat unkempt. She's had Adam for as long as she could remember, and has a bit of a reputation as a harmless nut. The town guard are okay with Nina though, occasionally getting her help keeping a mage secured by having her drain their mana so they can't cast. Since they don't have a proper magehunter available, having a local civilian channeler they can bring in as needed is a big help. And Nina tries to be on her best behavior with them to keep their relations good. Nina herself works as a healer, living out in the poor part of town, and has an erratic schedule based on the needs of those who want her help. so she has a lot of free time, but also gets woken up in the middle of the night a lot. add in Adam's occasional antics and she doesn't get to have a stable sleep schedule.

Magic Path: Channeler, Invoker.

Speed: D6+1
Endurance: D10+1
Knowledge: D8+1
Will: D10+1

Inhabited by a spirit which takes the form of a floating disembodied limb that constantly melts and reforms into other body parts. She calls it "Adam."

Cabal: None at this time.

[6v1]
You use the Aqua Vitae to help with the more serious issues and your best medical advice with the rest. Most of these injuries are old, years old, or the result of slow degradation from age or work. Nothing is out there ruining lives other than time itself it seems.

The treatments with the aqua Vitae are not perfect; it can manipulate the water in their tissues but not regenerate the tissues themselves. For malformed bones you can force them into the correct shape. For misshapen flesh you can sculpt it or reconnect poorly healed muscle and ligaments. But its all surgical in a way, cutting through and repositioning things as though with a scalpel but entirely internal. You cannot fix everything: missing limbs are beyond you, and sometimes the damage is so severe all you can do is alleviate it a bit.

Air that has been frozen solid

((...How convenient!))

Go buy a miniature of a cat.  And see if there's someone selling ocean water for some reason.

When you say that the clockwork power armor has d12 str and 4 armor, what does that mean?  I assume d12 str means it buffs the wearer's strength to d12, but 4 armor...?  Does it grant d12+4 armor, while only needing d12 end?

Can the universal lubricant swap "edibility" between some gold and an apple, to allow Saeko to survive off the apple without actually having to eat the gold?  If so, does this render the gold non-valuable, defeating the purpose since she still loses the value of the gold?

Tests for the UNIVERSAL LUBRICANT! in the spoiler below.

Spoiler: In here! (click to show/hide)

4. If I swap "solidity" between two things of very different size, does that result in different properties than if the things were the same size?  Is a pebble's soldity, spread into a three-foot sphere of air, still just as solid as if it were put into a one inch sphere of air?

5. Same test as above, but with weight.  If an entire boulder's weight is put into a small pebble, does this effect no change (because the two rocks have the same weight by volume), or does it result in a superheavy pebble, and a boulder like styrofoam?

6. Take a piece of paper and fold it into some origami shape that can fit inside a cup.  Then fill the cup with water, and swap the paper's solidity with the water in the cup... but in the same shape as the origami.  The goal is to make an origami shape out of solid water, that can then be picked up out of the cup, maintaining the shape.  Does this work?

7. What is the range limit on the Universal Lubricant?

8. Is there a line of sight limit on the Universal Lubricant?

9. Can the universal lubricant affect only a limited component of a mixture?  Say, take some dye, and mix it with water in a cup.  Then swap the dye's weight with a large rock.  Does the dye separate from the water, sinking to the bottom?  Or does the enter cup of liquid get affected by the weight change?

Spoiler: creepy oracle kid (click to show/hide)

Name: Ekrov Trenian Vyachilad
Description: A noble's son, Ekrov is a boy on the cusp of adulthood, and barely looks it.  His hands are soft, his appearance somewhat unkempt, but his body has toughened from his time on the road.  He's no longer scrawny, though he's still somewhat short--though it's hard to tell whether that's due to age or genetics.  His eyes are calm and constantly look around in absentminded wonderment; he seems continually fascinated, but almost amused as well, as if there's a hidden joke in everything he sees.  He wears a clearly high-quality outfit, but to his credit it looks unusually practical for a noble, subdued brown in color and light aside from thin pieces of light leather in strategic locations, clearly intended more as protection than a fashion statement.  He carries a small backpack, and wears a light cloak that's had an absurd number of little pockets clumsily sewn into it.  He has a very large third eye in the center of his forehead.  It is rotated ninety degrees from his other eyes, and has a glittering gold iris set into an entirely black sclera.  It cannot turn to look at things without him moving his entire head, and is rock solid.  -  Additionally, he has visible veins of glowing magic patterned over his skin, slowly pulsing and flowing.  Mutation: He is quite flexible and springy, kinda like a Champion Yoga contortionist who might also be the illegitimate love child of a snake and a Slinky. In most contexts, this isn't apparent from looking at him, but if he wanted he could totally lick his own elbow...

UNIVERSAL LUBRICANT, THE SWAPPING ORB!
--Description here.


: Link to description of thaumic transport planegolembugstatue thing.  Its shielding systems are tough enough to protect it if it landed in a forest, but would drain some amount of power.

Twelve fully assembled, but unpowered, combat robots.  Another has been mostly assembled but has some issue.  All are of the variety found in Gravid, and one assembled one has been left in Gravid.  _{three incomplete bodies worth of parts are left, with maybe three more being buildable from scraps.}

A small thaumic fighter plane golem thing.
--Possesses weapons that "Look like a combination of greatly focused lightning, fire, and iron. Hard to say exactly how it would manifest without trying it, but you do know you don't want to be in front of it when it goes off." and it also has "weapons systems, automatic flight systems, gravity minimization systems...thrust using force and wind...some kind of kinetic shield using force..."

Two broken clockwork robots, shoved in crates.  Details here,  here, and here.  And a question about rewriting their minds here.
A pair of strength-increasing clockwork gauntlets, which were clearly meant to be used by the robots, "seemingly for bending metal".
A strange blunt clockwork circular saw that is extremely effective at cutting through metal.
A  straight bladed clockwork sword, with a slot in the bottom for a power cell.  It is a lightning saber; when properly empowered, it will produce high heat and electrical discharge that will greatly enhance both its cutting power and the damage it causes.  It needs a power cell of the right size; which is basically a charged battery.
A large bag of bomblets, taken from an unexploded clockwork bomb.

Try to reverse engineer and understand those power pellet crucibles.

Look into cloning machine gun ammo?  Probably not something we'll care about ever, but I wanna DAKKA...
Find out where all these clockwork things are coming from.  Apparently they might actually come from Candentis?  Investigate the floating islands above the clouds, maybe set up a satellite system so Saeko can become a corporate villain and charge outrageous prices for internet connection.

Make thaumic tools run on thaum, rather than mana or magicoal.

Cache A: The buried death pellet furnaces, both the unopened ones and the empty opened one.
Cache B: All the unexploded bombs from the wreck, including one that's been opened and had some of the bomblets taken out.
Cache C: The rest of the loot from the wreck, buried inside crates.  Contains:

"A large number of tools (These are what you could call mundane tools like wrenches, screw drivers, plyers, and the like. There are a lot of them in different sizes and shapes but none are hugely rare or valuable on their own. Though they are admittedly well made.)"
"A pnumatic self heating rivet gun and the air compressor for it"
"A sort of 'Jaws of Life' style combination spreader and cutter. Basically a massive pnumatic pair of plyers/snips."
"3 more working machine guns, and a half dozen that are broken in some way"  ((These deal "d12 [damage], if memory serves, though they often roll multiples."))
"About 10 or so big boxes of ammo (there are a lot of loose belts around so the amount isn't exact)"
"A welding system"

She's been left in Gravid indefinitely, living off of the mana tap in the magicoal pile room.  She gets mana from a gold wire under the wall of steel blocking the entrance.  She has a single combat clockwork robot, which has had its gearbrain rewritten to make it follow orders given to it in our language.  The robot refuses to deal any notable damage to anything unless a specific order is used, and confirms the exact thing to be damaged in a very explicit manner.  It has no directive AI beyond following orders, and in the absence of them will just sit still and do nothing.

Languages known: English(?), Japanese.

You buy a small stone cat replica for 1 gold.  You can't find anyone selling ocean water though.

What I mean is while you're wearing it, you roll as though you have d12 strength. Because its powered there's no endurance limitations on it for the armor it grants. And it acts like armor with a protective rating of d10 armor.

Unknown. But probably not, at least not easily. What exactly makes it edible and nourishing to her isn't known so you'd have to test. It could be anything from molecular make up to color. Magic doesn't always follow the logic of the mundane world.

4. When you swap a pebble with a larger section of air, the "Solidity" of that air is weaker. Its almost like a dense foam, as though the "Solidity" of the stone has been spread thinly through the entire section of air.
5. It results in the super heavy pebble and super light boulder.
6. The result is a cup filled partially with water, partially with liquid paper (all churning together) and a "piece" of solid water in it. The water is not a 100% perfect representation of the original origami, the shape is right but its a solid thing, like a statue not a piece of paper folded up. The edges are a little vague too, not as crisp as the paper.
7. To switch properties, you have to touch both with the artifact. You can touch something, walk away, and touch something else and it still works. Theoretically there's no limit on this range, but you still have to physically touch both with the artifact.
8. See above.
9. You could do this, but because it must touch, it would consider the mixed water and dye a single object, turning a section of it heavier than the rest. However, if you touched the dye, then mixed it, then turned it heavy, THEN it would fall out alone.

Take the lantern, food and rope, then continue towards where the spirit is. Look around and listen for potential threats

You continue on and quickly come across something. You hear what might be wind chimes or glass clinking and the hall begins to flow with bluish white light as though underwater. The source of both of these things seems to be a an opening up ahead. You move to it slowly and peak through the doorway into a large and open multistory room. You only peak in for a moment, but see what appears to be a squirming olden double helix of jeweled chains and wings made of sunlight. Its so massive as to take up most of the room, probably hundreds of feet long, all coiled chaotically up in this one place.

Accept the guard job and head to the junkyards

You head out with a scavenging group, riding in their currently empty wagon.  You mostly hang around with individuals in the group, occasionally running from one to another when they need help lifting or moving things, or think they might have come across something dangerous. For the first day this is all you do; nothing attacks.  The second day, as the team is just starting to work, you hear a shout and see one of them suddenly get dragged through a newly opened hole in the junkyard surface. You run to  where they went down and are confronted with a yawning manhole sized opening into darkness. The sunlight casts a narrow beam of illumination down below and in it you can see shifting mechanical body parts as something moves away, deeper into the unseen subterranean space.

Wait until more of the crustecean crests the edge of our ship, then open fire with my rifle. Try to hit it in the eyes or other more squishy parts.

If bullets do nothing and/or it starts getting closer to us, channel 5 mana into the magic longsword and attack it with that instead.

Retreat a bit to stay out of claw range, but try to stick near/behind Ecalir. Assist with the shooting, also try to target eyes/vulnerable parts.

Should Ecalir be forced to go into melee, then assist him by using the sunbro staff to make the river/shore plants grow so they constrict the creature and hold it in place. Especially try to constrict/hinder its claws or other 'weapons' it may have. If there aren't enough plants around for that, try using the wood of the ship.

If that is also not viable, support him instead by doing an illusion spell using 'Radiation' to make the creature think there are flashing lights in front of it (to try and blind it). It only needs to last for a very short while, just to give Ecalir the chance to close in and do his thing.

You both open fire on the thing, firing 3 rounds each. Both of your shots strike home against the thing's great armored bulk, but only Darwin manages to get a shot into one of the thing's eye stalks.  The creature doesn't seem effected by the pain of the hit but it is rendered half blind and its attempt to climb higher up onto the ship falters.  It sweeps its claw across the deck and when it cannot reach either of you, it slams it point down into the deck, smashing a hole through it. Luckily the actual bottom of the boat is unharmed but a couple more strikes like that and the ship will probably crack in half regardless. The captain of the boat is screaming at you to get the crab off his ship.

Lets get recruiting for the base I want to build, as well as gathering the materials necessary, to be shunted into the moth-mobile.

I had the price estimated at a few thousand, but it'd probably be more than that, as I want a few unusual features for a mansion:

1. A large workshop for Ekrov's robots and such.
2. An underground vault, for storing dangerous materials.  We'll be fitting it with a magic lock and other security measures.
3. An oversized bathhouse, for bathing and for washing any giant animals which should happen to be acquired.
4. High ceilings and wide hallways.  Should be able to get a large horse around.

Should still cost much less than our financial resources.

There are other less important features, such as a workroom with jeweller's tools, a small forge and armoury, etc, but nothing else extraordinary.  Some magical things, but those will be done when relevant.

As for recruiting, well, there will need to be a work crew for building the thing.  For permanent servants, I'm estimating maybe a dozen or so people, including maybe another four or so guards.  Most important is to find a steward to run the place and handle the pay when absent.

Large decrepit building in Galena.
Share in presumptive new Galena mine.

1. Workshop, assuming you're just grabbing the mundane tools as supplyign anything like the gold wire or whatever yourself, 150 gold. If you want something more expansive than like a garage workshop, something more like a true machinest workshop, thats more like 500. 
2. Variable. Cheapest would be about 60 gold for something made of cut stone thats built and assembled on site. Most expensive would be somewhere in the 1000+ range for a full metal bank style vault with built in magic locks keyed to you personally and various countermeasures.
3. 300 would be basic, for a simple enclosed pool. If you want like a true, heated, nicely decorated roman style bathouse, 900-1100.
4. A sort of "oversized" manor house or mansion...assuming you get the raw materials and have locals construct it, in the 3000 range.

For the various minor stuff, we can just say 500 to cover it all, for things like tools, armor and weapon racks, furniture, etc

The locals round there would be happy to work, both as servants and as builders initially. There's not much else in terms of cash flow so they'd jump at the chance. More specific workers like trained guards and high class stewards would likely have to be hired here in the city and their contracts negotiated. Likely they'd want somewhat of a preminum to go live out in the boonies and guard your big vacation home.

"I bet god would use a lantern if it were, like, a really cool divine lantern. You know, like, Thor probably already punches a lot harder than any human with a normal hammer, but his hammer is so cool and powerful he can benefit from it even though he already has godly strength. Except imagine we're talking about any actual god rather than a marvel movie character."

Sounds like it's time to go. How do we get back onto the airship?
