Edit: Actually you know what I'm not going to make turns take forever. Also, everyone who applied is now in. Also, not to handhold but now that there are tools, better structures can be created. Though having a workshop to produce the tools might also be useful.
Turn 2
Huffi-Muffi-Guffi scavenged around. When they were simple wamblers, everyone did their own foraging, but now everybody's busy and so he would have to find some more food to make up for it, until a better food source is established.
[1] Unfortunately, while pondering the nature of the ecosystem, he wanders into a pack of snarling.... wolves? They don't actually look like wolves, but that was what the furry, many-toothed creatures look closest to. They begin to chase him. Before he knew it, he was a disembodied will.
Of course, it wasn't as hard a kick as getting smote by the Overlord, and he regenerated quickly.
Meanwhile, by the Overlord's decree, trees sprung out from the clearing that used to be the wamblers' den, lashed themselves into an Outpost. Wiggles the Magnificent found tiny tools inside the Outpost which lets him finalize its construction as well as taking an inventory. Some beds, and a simple laboratory. Not bad at all.
Additionally, the Overlord made an Essence Spring form itself nearby.
[6] Verdante explored the spring a little, learning that the water was actually not infused with Essence. The Overlord's magic had somehow caused magical water to well up here, before separating from the Essence. He can see glowing violet particles hanging in the water. Pure Essence powder, perhaps?
He took a sip. The Essence rolled in him strangely, unlike the ones already inside him. He coughed up a glowing furball, which expanded and morphed into a dead ringer of him. The golem!Verdante seemed irritated by its plight and lunges at its original copy!
Technology Discovered: Magic DustMcFluff loiters around the island for something interesting.
[5] He wanders close to the volcano, the heat not much of a problem with his newfound godhood. A strange energy is in the air, and he stumbles upon what appears to be a temple, wrought of obsidian and wood. It proved to be fairly spacious, the entrance area barren and blasted by the ravages of time. Perhaps an expedition could be made deeper, with sufficient preparations.
Intelligent mortals have lived here before, but they must have been before his time.
[Mysterious Temple discovered]Cuddles tries to will structures into existence but only got constipation for his trouble. Not one to be stopped, he tries to dig a hole in the ground to build an underground outpost, but it's going to take a while without the Overlord's help.
[1] Crazy Bob tries to remember how gunpowder was made and fails. He set off to the volcano and attempt to extract magma, incinerating himself in the process. He appears in the Outpost with an audible pop, and his fur somehow still a little singed.
