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.

Materials: Sound, Accelerate
Mana: 96

Strength: D4+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.

Spoiler: recap of entire mission (click to show/hide)

Bluh. Must have forgotten to hit post.

Items I'd like to procure before leaving:
d8 Ranged weapon (Compound bow, maybe? Bows are cool, and I'd rather not just have a bunch of rifles)
Painting Canvas
Food and Water
Blank Book
Wooden Pole
Binoculars
Silk Rope
Lantern and Oil
Bullets with a Mercury filling (no propellant, they're for my explosion-enchanted rifle)
Glass pendant in the shape of a flame

Other than that, I think I'm ready to go.

Alright. Lets go with 25 gold for the bow, 10 for 100 arrows.
All the mundane supplies there for 15
45 for 20 mercury bullets
1 for pendant.

The airship takes off around sunset and its already too dark to see once its out over the black flux. For what seems like a long time everything is silent,  the pilot flying entirely by instrumentation.  The Captain, the one who used to be your handler, explains things.

"We're going out to observe the Mechanist forces beyond the border. We know they're out there, we've had sightings near the pillars of lead, reports of people going missing, standard covert action indicators, but we're not sure of two things. First their numbers. We know the old sky kingdoms are a hive and we can estimate their numbers but we have no idea how large the forces out here are. Likely orders of magnitude larger but we gotta figure it out.  Second, what the command structure is like. We know the floating hive is entirely automated, no organic intelligences up there, but it is the suspicion of the King and many others that the people once called the Mechanists are extinct. That what we'll be fighting against is basically the automated remains of their army, an infinitely expanding war machine running on orders hundreds of years old. So we're looking for commanders or whatever the equivalent is. Most these tickers aren't smart enough to do anything on their own, so there has to be something in there coordinating them.

The plan is that we're gonna get a set distance in, drop, secure the area, then move out a bit. If we run into mechanized forces, we observe, we gather data, then we retreat and get out of here.  If we don't run into anything, we get picked up, and repeat till we find something. He have orders not go engage unless either we have no other choice OR we sight what we determine to be a high value target. One of their leaders, for example.

We're gonna break up into teams of three."

He points to you

"You're with Alek and Samson here." He points to a large man and a young woman; the man has a war hammer and the woman an oversized pair of gauntlets. "You'll be taking North East from landing zone. 5 miles straight out. No sign of locals, come on back. Any encounters, watch for up to three hours, then return. We're gonna be doing this all under cover of darkness so we need to be back up and out of range before sunrise."

He thinks a moment more and then grunts. He reaches over to you and presses down on your temples, rubbing in a quick circle. The dark interior of the airship suddenly becomes as bright as sunlight at noon. 

"Fire in the eyes. Round the other way to turn it off. Careful, it can blind you if you get hit with bright lights while its active.

Questions?"

"If we find something like a commander, would it be worth trying to capture it intact?

Are the machine soldiers made out of a ferromagnetic material?"

Ready to go regardless.

The commander shakes his head to your question and mimes cutting a throat.

"Not enough information to make doing something like that safe.  Might be able to command from a distance, might call reinforcements. Too dangerous; If you can grab one, kill it and bring the remains. The Fearce guys can always repair them. If you see something organic and can knock it out, that will work though. Priority here is information, keep that in mind."

"Crapshoot. Early models had plenty, some still do, but others are made of more exotic materials. Its worth a shot but won't be 100% effective."

After another 15 or so minutes of flight, the ship stops and rear door opens. To your surprise the other mage breakers just start walking out, without a rope or any other support. Your commander sees your expression and motions to you, tapping on boot of his armor with his sword.

"Go down feet first, the armor will do the rest. Ask your squad about anything else."

He motions to Alek and Samson next, "Watch her. First time out."

Alek nods and Samson takes your arm and walks with you to the edge. On her mark you both jump and she helps you stay stable as you fall down towards the distant desert below.  You notice that when you extend your legs and point the soles of your feet at the ground, its almost as though the air around you gets thicker, slowing you down  as though you're falling through water. After some practice you figure out how to free fall for most of the way and then decelerate once you get near the ground. Its a bit tricky, but nothing terrible. Alek lands a few moments after you and Samson, notably harder than either of you but seemingly unfazed.

"You'll get better." Samson tells you, "Learn to brake at the last second you can, drop faster. Its all practice."

The three of you head out in the direction you were told to take, moving across dead earth and desert sand for several miles before you catch sight of something. It looks like some sort of building, a giant rust colored brick of a thing like a mountain of steel maybe 2 or so miles out. It appears to be moving in this direction, albeit very slowly. Things are swarming around it, though you can only make them out as black dots from this distance.

"Mobile fortress maybe?" Samson asks aloud. Alek grunts.  She looks over to you. "Whatcha think rookie, sit and observe or move in closer?"

"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.

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.

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.

Sampson says she has the following:
Concrete
Slade
Diamond
Force
Strengthen
Grow
Sharpen
Accelerate
Penetrate
Transmute

Alek doesn't say anything, but according do Samson he has
Steel
Crystal
Grand Lodestone
Powerful Toxin
Vital Metal
Insect
Demonic
Reanimate
Bind

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."

"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?

"Whats a Thor? Whats a mov-ee?"

You and your squad jog back across the open sands to the meeting place where the airship is waiting, hovering so high up that its a barely visible dot even when you know where to look for it. You turn in your info and listen as the rest talk, compiling everything into a more clear picture in your head. There are indeed other moving fortresses forming a firing line near the border, and the scouts that headed east report distant signs of a large approaching force.  Your commander considers the situation a moment before speaking.

"We've still got no signs of organic leaders or really leaders of any kind. There has to be something out there keeping this all functioning though. Judging by the info you've all found, they're moving artillery into position and then bringing the troops in. Odd. Backwards from what it should be. Maybe setting up for some sort of ambush, drawing us in to the fortresses and attacking while we're busy? Hmmm."

He gestures to the airship and it begins to rapidly descend.

"We've got enough time before daylight to handle one more scout. I'm gonna have the ship take us up, get a good look at their ground troops, and then we'll move past. I want to see where they're coming from, if those troops have reserves in back or what. We can probably get info from height for most of it, but I want a few of  you on the ground to look. Volunteers?"

Think I'd prefer to stay on the airship for now.

Others volunteer and you head into the airship as soon as it touches down. The ship rises rapidly once everyone is on board and you shut your eyes and relax as it drifts forward under minimum engine power. After a few minutes Samson jabs you in the ribs and directs your attention out a port hole. You look where she's pointing and see what at first appears to be a wide plain of brownish mud. Then you see that the mud is moving. You squint down and can pick out the vague shapes of larger war machines moving like a swarm of ants. Then something else comes into view, a humanoid machine of such size that it actually completely throws off your sense of distance; its like looking down at a person maybe 10 feet beneath you, despite the fact that the ship is hundreds or thousands of feet up. You move and check the other portholes; the solid plain of metal extends forward and backward as far as you can see, and to the sides for a good...mile?

"Thats a lot of tickers..." Samson says, quietly.

"How's that possible? I mean, sure they've had time to set up and build, but where do you think the energy comes from? It would take massive amounts just to power that one machine, let alone the vast armies. Do they mine coal, grow food? How massive would those operations have to be to support this?"

Do you want me to do something here? Cuz I don't have a lot I can do about this right now.

"We're not sure how big their empire is to the west. We drove them out but never chased them down. We know they have power systems we don't, using pellets of deadly light. Its been decades...maybe a century since they were repelled the last time. A lot of time to build."

The airship continues forward and eventually passes beyond the mechanical forces and on to the empty plains. Or rather, what appears to empty plains at first. There are ruins here, abandoned buildings, some still intact while others have been smashed, likely by advancing machines. They look like farmhouses and villages; from this height you can see what would have been a half dozen small hamlets spread across the landscape, old lines of rotten fences and mummified homes. There's no green left though, not even the rough desert plants of the kingdom, just sand.

"Watchman tells us there's a city up ahead" The captain calls back to you. "Anyone here have good eyes and life tracking ability? We want to scan this place and then head back."

"I could detect human life, but I'm not sure if that's sufficient."

Also, technically Senses is my worst stat still. If told to, cast a similar spell as before using Human, Glass on the binoculars to sense the aura of humans.

"Give it a shot."

[13+4v2] [-2 mana]

You cast a similar life detection spell again and move to the front of the ship as it begins a slow circle. You look out of the wide glass dome of the front cockpit  and down on what was once a city. You can still see bits and pieces of it; stone walls and collapsing tile roofs, crater-like foundations submerged in sand, jagged remnants of paved roads. But clinging to these remnants like a cancer is a great industrial complex, a chaotic rust brown expanse of pipes, towers, chemical vats, silos, automated pit mines and cranes. Smoke and water vapor pour from the stacks and a spreading lake of red and black sludge surrounds the enormous concrete foundations of the complex, towering high above the old city and drowning it in waste. Things skitter and dart through that massive metal hive like a termite mound, a writhing mechanical life.

You strain your eyes down at the mound, searching for life. For a long minute you see nothing and you're about to give it up when you see it. A single light, like a candle flame, deep within the heart of the factory. You search some more but there are no others, just that single one.

"I see exactly one light, deep down in there."

Ask to be lent at least 5 mana and cast a d20 spell to get information on that light. First, the current state of the target's body, second, as much information as possible directly from the mind.

+5 mana
[3+5v19] -19 mana

You attempt the powerful spell but are surprised  by a sudden mana fluctuation that causes it to,,,vanish? The spell seems to just disappear, tear itself from you and go somewhere else.

A few moments later the factory city suddenly begins igniting search lights and swinging the beams about, searching the sky. You think the spell may not have vanished...you think it may have been inverted....

The airship turns hard, the entire cabin tilting to a hard 45 degree angle as it does so. The captain shouts for battle stations and tells everyone to hold steady. He then casts his own spell, though you can't see what it has done.

"Well, that was unfortunate. Seems like my spell reversed itself. And I'm spent, too."

Ready my bow, because that's about all I have now. Order Salt to stay near me but fight any that get close, and if attacks a directed towards her intercept them on my armor.

"If you're low, let us know next time. We'll get you filled before hand." The captain says, apparently not angry about the failed spell. [4] The ship rattles and strains as it moves away at high speed. The city begins to disgorge all manner of flying machines, but for some reason they don't seem to be following, and the search lights are slicing around randomly through the dark skies.

"We've got at least a few minutes of invisibility." The captain says, looking back at the city. "We're heading back for the border."

He turns back to you.

"Did you get anything from that? Any info?"

"Nothing directly from the second spell. I just seemed to disappear. From the first spell, I know that there's only one human, and their general location. Assuming that my second spell was reversed, they probably know quite a bit about me, now. From the way that the city reacted to my spell, I can infer that they must either be controlling the city, or it's monitoring their thoughts. Or maybe it's possible that my spell wasn't reversed, but the city has some way of detecting the magic being cast on it."

Blorble.

The commander seems to consider this all for a long moment.

"Going by past information I'd say that its more the former than the latter; they've never shown any understanding or use of magic before. The fact that there is a human leader is important, and I agree with your assessment of them being in charge of that city and coordinating that response. There may be more like them but for now we at least know that this is a coordinated effort, not some kind of autonomous war machine chasing an ancient grudge.

We're going to have to take you off any future work out here for the moment; we have to assume anything you know is compromised and that they'll likely be on the look out for you in particular now.  Lucky you're a newbie without to many secrets to spill eh?"

He claps you on the back in a friendly manner.

"You're dry now, so head up to the gunner seat on the top of the airship; more useful up there at the moment.  Hold your fire until you see something definitely heading for us. With any luck we can squeeze out of here between their firing lines and return to base. We've already sent word about what we found, so the knowledge is safe, but the King is gonna need every soldier he's got for this"

"I guess that's one upside to me not knowing what I'm doing yet, huh..."

Go to the gunner seat and keep an eye out.

You climb up to the gunner seat. Its an odd thing, since you can see outside and see that the airship is invisible. Gives the impression you're flying rapidly through the air, backwards, in a sitting position. Then, completely without warning, the spell ends and the airship pops back into existence in the blink of an eye. By now you're pretty far away from the city, back over the army on the ground. You crane your neck to look down and see them all looking up at you. Or rather just looking up, searching. Its still night for the moment -you have to remind yourself of that- so they don't seem to notice the ship.  You check the skies and see black dots moving about like flies in the distance. None of them seem to have noticed the ship either, from what you can tell.  You wait and watch, whispering what you see down to the breakers below.

After maybe 40 or so tense minutes the captain announces that you're back over friendly territory. The engines pick up and the ship speeds back towards Alkahest, reaching it sometime in the mid morning.

[Egan_BW]

Alright, can a brother have a debriefing? Pertinent information to share is the information I got from the scans of the moving fortress and the rough location of the one human in the city.

I trimmed out just my parts of the turns for this entire mission and posted it just above this post, if you need to check something. Should be easier to find things that way.

”I heard you could banish angelic beings. People have gone missing in Old Kaolin. I went there and found an underground passage containing various belongings of people, however the people were nowhere to be found. In the chamber I found a spirit that looks like a helix with golden wings. This spirit tried attacking me, it stayed underground instead of chasing me to the surface. I made my way back to New Kaolin and told the priests what happened, and they mentioned that the spirit I found was an angelic one made by the Sky Goddess. They told me you could assist in banishing it”

Ok.  Stop by IRC if you can at some point and I'll pick a space.

Hug the newly-buffed Benedict for some mana.  Hopefully he's pretty happy at being giant again.  He's also not enchanted so should have a lot of mana.

I'll convert whatever mana is necessary for this turn through Ekrov.  Work with him on the gun-related stuff.

Try to make some of that gold wire into gold thread, using some of the thaumic tools.  Then, reshape the biometal helmet into some kind of biometal weaver, say a spider with needles and what not or a 4kg pixie or somesuch, that will be capable of sewing some new threads into my armour-cloth.

Ask Ekrov to help with the changes.. I'd like him to use his Universal Lube to do these next steps.

As gold thread might be too fragile and break if the outfit takes damage, lets use thread made of modified sapphire.  Use one or more Strengthen Expand spells to make a couple sapphires of equivalent volume to the thread.  The lube is to be used to swap the flexability of some normal thread with the flexability of the sapphire.  Then, swap the shape of the gold wire with the sapphire, hopefully turning it into sapphire wire.  Lastly, swap the thing that makes gold conductive to magic with the same element inside the gemstone.

Then, use the bioweaver to weave my armour up with thaum-conductive sapphire thread.  Include little attachment loops so I can hook it up to, say, that fighter-spirit made into plate armour or other gold wire attachment points.  Make sure it covers all the body, including the wings, from neck to toe.

"Ekrov, I'm doing this to improve my armour.  Do you think you could make some weapons for me?  It'd be very nice to have a gun.  And my spear could use some hardening."

"I think I'm going to go out hunting and make sure there's no dangerous monsters in the area."

Set up the various artisanal tools Saeko bought us.  Then take one of the clockwork machine guns and strip it down heavily.  Shorten the barrel a whole ton, cut off unnecessary metal parts, modify the mechanism to lower the rate of fire, and redo the ergonomics to fit Saeko.  The goal is to make a more wieldy battle-rifle weight gun for her, which between the heavily shortened barrel and lowered rate of fire should remain decently controllable.  I am assuming these guns are closer to M60 MMGs than M2 HMGs; if the latter, it might be better to just use magic and summon up a new gun.

If the gun is successfully downsized, and is still decently effective, start enchantments.  The first one will be a simple powered enchantment on the entire gun, which uses "banish" to remove all sound of its operation while being fired.  So pay mana cost -> gun is completely silent.

The second "enchantment" is more an experiment with thaumics.  I want to attach one of those word crystals to the gun, with "speed" and "force" (from Saeko) engraved on it.  A gold wire will lead inside the barrel, and the intent is for it to accelerate any bullets that travel past while the thaumic device is active.  Pay thaumic cost -> next burst will have higher damage.  Hopefully this added force will be recoilless because it's magically sourced, while still having comparable damage to the full size machine guns.

Otherwise, repair all the broken machine guns from the recovered cache.  There's six.  Just use "clockwork" to summon up any missing/broken parts that can't be replaced or repaired.

...While working on the various guns, idly chat with the guide.  Ask it about the mechanist war; what sparked the war?  Who were the Mechanists?  Why were they so aggressive?  What did they gain by bringing down Gravid?

Finally, melt magicoal.  And roll for one barrel's number of chunks, I'm going to start tracking the barrel's remaining chunks myself.  Each barrel has 3d20+10 pieces, according to Dev's sheet.

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...

--Enchanted so that Ekrov is always aware of its location and status.
UNIVERSAL LUBRICANT, THE SWAPPING ORB!
--Description here.
--I should really enchant this to have the same "always aware of location" thing.  Also should enchant it to fly around according to his will.

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.

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 death pellet furnaces, both the unopened ones and the empty opened one.  Presumably reburied at the manor, because... radiation.
Cache B: All the unexploded bombs from the wreck, including one that's been opened and had some of the bomblets taken out.  Let's say these have been reburied too... because bombs.
Cache C: The rest of the loot from the wreck, sitting 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.

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.

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.

"We...will have..it" He says, and seems to be recovering from whatever latent effects the paralysis left him with. He must be pretty extensively different from humans if thats the case though, since the human crew members are still on the ground.

One of the other guards with you informs you he has an acid canister that should do a lot of damage to the machine, but he's kind of hesitant to use it. If that machine could be taken down with minimal damage, it would be extremely valuable. Enough to get everyone on the expedition a hefty paycheck.

Alright, can a brother have a debriefing? Pertinent information to share is the information I got from the scans of the moving fortress and the rough location of the one human in the city.

I trimmed out just my parts of the turns for this entire mission and posted it just above this post, if you need to check something. Should be easier to find things that way.

The debriefing isn't handled by the captain, instead its that one man, the one that apparently tasked Saeko with the core gathering and such. You hear from the others he's something of the king's advisor or personal speaker, and that he often oversees things directly under the King's orders. He, apparently, has been doing this since before anyone here was alive. Despite his rather unimpressive appearance, he must be something quite special.

You explain to him everything you saw and learned and he listens patiently, only interjecting with question or clarification occasionally. When you finish he seems to consider things for a long moment, eyes closed, nodding. Finally he opens his eyes and speaks.

"The lands beyond our kingdom are varied but the vast majority are long dead. Beyond our borders magic has dried up entirely and only inert sand and dry earth remain. Those beings who struggle on in that place must be sustained at great expense and effort, no doubt. And they no doubt desire our lands and our resources. Men who have lived without water for hundreds of years know there is an oasis on the horizon and they will do anything to take it.

The old war was the last ditch effort of a dying civilization to take that salvation by force...this is something else. Colder. More calculated. They have been building their forces this whole time and I would not be surprised if they had far more metal bodies to throw at us than last time.

We can fight, but I would prefer something different. A more subtle route. A method of undermining them on a fundamental level. Their precision of construction will be their downfall."

”I heard you could banish angelic beings. People have gone missing in Old Kaolin. I went there and found an underground passage containing various belongings of people, however the people were nowhere to be found. In the chamber I found a spirit that looks like a helix with golden wings. This spirit tried attacking me, it stayed underground instead of chasing me to the surface. I made my way back to New Kaolin and told the priests what happened, and they mentioned that the spirit I found was an angelic one made by the Sky Goddess. They told me you could assist in banishing it”

"Angelic things aren't 'Made" by the goddess. Not really at least. Same as earth doesn't make flowers and water doesn't intend to smooth stones. Without them it wouldn't happen but its not their choice.  Anyways, yeah, we can help with that I think. Though it seems like a pretty tough one. You see why it was there? Something that seemed to be anchoring it or giving it reason to stay?"

Both Eclair and Darwin scramble around in the underbrush and mud and manage to get round to the other side of the big lizard and the stairs of the temple. They scramble up those stairs like big weird lizards and up to the top. At the top is a doorway, barred by a huge stone slab door. A picture of a sun, with a snake coiled round it, is emblazoned on that door. A quick try finds the stone slab tightly shut.

Ok.  Stop by IRC if you can at some point and I'll pick a space.

Hug the newly-buffed Benedict for some mana.  Hopefully he's pretty happy at being giant again.  He's also not enchanted so should have a lot of mana.

I'll convert whatever mana is necessary for this turn through Ekrov.  Work with him on the gun-related stuff.

Try to make some of that gold wire into gold thread, using some of the thaumic tools.  Then, reshape the biometal helmet into some kind of biometal weaver, say a spider with needles and what not or a 4kg pixie or somesuch, that will be capable of sewing some new threads into my armour-cloth.

Ask Ekrov to help with the changes.. I'd like him to use his Universal Lube to do these next steps.

As gold thread might be too fragile and break if the outfit takes damage, lets use thread made of modified sapphire.  Use one or more Strengthen Expand spells to make a couple sapphires of equivalent volume to the thread.  The lube is to be used to swap the flexability of some normal thread with the flexability of the sapphire.  Then, swap the shape of the gold wire with the sapphire, hopefully turning it into sapphire wire.  Lastly, swap the thing that makes gold conductive to magic with the same element inside the gemstone.

Then, use the bioweaver to weave my armour up with thaum-conductive sapphire thread.  Include little attachment loops so I can hook it up to, say, that fighter-spirit made into plate armour or other gold wire attachment points.  Make sure it covers all the body, including the wings, from neck to toe.

"Ekrov, I'm doing this to improve my armour.  Do you think you could make some weapons for me?  It'd be very nice to have a gun.  And my spear could use some hardening."

"I think I'm going to go out hunting and make sure there's no dangerous monsters in the area."

I'll try but I have very limited access here. To IRC at least, since it isn't exactly the most cellphone friendly application.

12 mana

I'm running out of time here so I'm just gonna say "Ok" to all this. It looks fine, switching properties about and such as ya do, and nothing stands out as impossible or unreasonable so I'll just say ok to it. lets see....8 mana for the weaver transformation though.

Perform the lube swaps for Saeko.

Set up the various artisanal tools Saeko bought us.  Then take one of the clockwork machine guns and strip it down heavily.  Shorten the barrel a whole ton, cut off unnecessary metal parts, modify the mechanism to lower the rate of fire, and redo the ergonomics to fit Saeko.  The goal is to make a more wieldy battle-rifle weight gun for her, which between the heavily shortened barrel and lowered rate of fire should remain decently controllable.  I am assuming these guns are closer to M60 MMGs than M2 HMGs; if the latter, it might be better to just use magic and summon up a new gun.

If the gun is successfully downsized, and is still decently effective, start enchantments.  The first one will be a simple powered enchantment on the entire gun, which uses "banish" to remove all sound of its operation while being fired.  So pay mana cost -> gun is completely silent.

The second "enchantment" is more an experiment with thaumics.  I want to attach one of those word crystals to the gun, with "speed" and "force" (from Saeko) engraved on it.  A gold wire will lead inside the barrel, and the intent is for it to accelerate any bullets that travel past while the thaumic device is active.  Pay thaumic cost -> next burst will have higher damage.  Hopefully this added force will be recoilless because it's magically sourced, while still having comparable damage to the full size machine guns.

Otherwise, repair all the broken machine guns from the recovered cache.  There's six.  Just use "clockwork" to summon up any missing/broken parts that can't be replaced or repaired.

...While working on the various guns, idly chat with the guide.  Ask it about the mechanist war; what sparked the war?  Who were the Mechanists?  Why were they so aggressive?  What did they gain by bringing down Gravid?

Finally, melt magicoal.  And roll for one barrel's number of chunks, I'm going to start tracking the barrel's remaining chunks myself.  Each barrel has 3d20+10 pieces, according to Dev's sheet.

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...

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.

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

Cache A: The death pellet furnaces, both the unopened ones and the empty opened one.  Presumably reburied at the manor, because... radiation.
Cache B: All the unexploded bombs from the wreck, including one that's been opened and had some of the bomblets taken out.  Let's say these have been reburied too... because bombs.
Cache C: The rest of the loot from the wreck, sitting 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.

Ugh.

Ok so before we reenter tinker hell, I'mma stop ya here. Specifcally because in this game when it comes to weapons there's really only a few things to mess with. Weight, damage, and range. Weight and range are kinda squishy and subjective to my judgement, damage is a hard dice roll of objectivity.  As such, everything else is effectively cosmetic, at least in terms of mechanics. So rather than getting super in depth here and saying you make all these changes and such and then I shrug and change literally nothing for your gun, lets instead work it like this: What are these modifications changing about the gun? Mechanically I mean.

Ok. How much mana you wanna pump in to create the "Battery" size? Remember the amount of mana it can hold is equal to initial mana investment minus the cost of the actual spell.  For the silence spell it will use mana very very slowly except when being fired, when it will use it pretty rapidly.

The thaumic machine thing works, the only issue being getting the wire to touch the bullet and release the mana at the right time. Otherwise you'll increase the force and speed of either the air or the inner barrel of the gun.  For a rifle this would be easy, but for something rapid fire its more difficult.

I'm gonna call this a 25 mana job and say its done.

They were a technologically advanced group of non-magic using people from the east that attacked during the declining years of the age of magic. Their attack was, according to what it knows, unprovoked. They desired to conquer this land for their own use, as their land was growing rapidly infertile and barren. As part of this attack they attacked the "Void cities" including Gravid. It is uncertain if the crash was intentional or a side effect of the fighting.

30 pieces in the barrel. 23 mana this turn from 1.

[Devastator]

Basically, make a machine gun into a man-portable automatic rifle.  Work some stuff into it so that mana can be applied for extra damage.

Try tapping our sunbro staff against the door. Also let Darwin touch it, maybe his covenant with Alizarin will be recognized?

If that doesn't do anything, consider whether opening this door would require a specific artifact or key of some sorts, or if we more need to present a certain type of item (eg. something related to the sun and something related to the dead goddess from this place).

If it seems like we really need a specific item, then first check if there are no side entrances or anything like that. If not, Ecalir can try to blow us a hole into the temple with the manasword. First tap the door with the lotus orb in case there is a protective enchantment over it.

Use the recovered water-producing basin from the ruins of Gravid for part of a thaumic building.  Use it, along with Chemical, Grow, and Plant from the various word-jades to make an artificial mana-powered stream, that can be filled with chemicals intended as impossibly effective plant fertilizer.

Aim for efficiency, and try to find out how much land can be watered and fertilized for one mana/day, and what (if any) more words will help make it more mana-efficient.

It is to be powered and controlled through a wire hooked up to the mothplane.  Give it a chunk of magicoal if it needs a top-up, but at 1 mana/day, should be fine for a while.

Also, get my thaum (33) converted to mana through Ekrov.
