Name: Pruina
Appearance: A fair-skinned female in a cyan robe, constantly surrounded by the glitter of the snow and ice crystals that orbit her, unmelting.
Sphere: Ice
Mana: 20
Pruina explores the immediate region of her tower.
Purina doesn't even get very far in his explorations. Right next to his tower he finds a giant bubbling pit of tar and oil. It occasionally disgorges a skeleton.
((TRIGGERED by change of name and gender))
Pruina skirts the giant bubbling pit of tar and searches for other areas of interest around her tower.
Name: Pruina
Appearance: A fair-skinned female in a cyan robe, constantly surrounded by the glitter of the snow and ice crystals that orbit her, unmelting.
Sphere: Ice
Mana: 25
((If you don't want me to mistake you for male dog food then name yourself something less obscure~))
Pruina searches around and finds a spring and resulting river of water in 14,13 that is surprisingly cold. Not icy but not far off.
Name: Atrimian
Appearance: A middle-aged man in a bloodstained maroon cloak. He wields a sword carved of bone.
Sphere: Biomancy (specifically flesh, blood, bone, other random viscera)
Mana: 5
Summon a lesser flesh beast. Tether it to me. Try not to accidentally make it hostile.
[-5 mana] [4]
Atrimain summons a lesser fleshbeast (d8) that is...luckily not hostile to him. Its not a very nice looking flesh beast, kind of just a ball of viscera and sharp bits but whatever, it will do.
Go convince the anti-explorers that they can see too much from inside this tower, and that the bottom of the nearby lake is much more suitable for them.
If that fails, kill one or more of them until they stop impeding progress.
Then proceed to explore the hilly woods at 95.32. If I can explore further, do 94.34, 94.33, 94.32, and 94.31 as well.
Name: Henry
Sphere: Industry
Mana: 5
[2] The anti-explorers agree that this is not true and that you are trying to trick them into exploring.
[4,2,2 vs 4,15,11]
Henry gets rather tired of the anti-explorers and promptly punts them into the lake.
95.32 is a lovely but rather uninteresting area of hills and forests so Henry moves on with more exploration. 94.32 is a set of mountain peaks so high and frigid that they stymie your attempts to explore them. You trace your way back down and to 95.33 before moving to 94.34. There you find a ruin of some kind, a smashed vessel filled with rusted mechanical arachnids.
Name: GLOBOR THE GLOB
Appearance: A clockwork guy with a hat made of space dust
Sphere: Clockworks
Mana: 22
Start working on schematics to turn this clocktower into a mobile clockpunk steamboat. Then create more clockwork man. A LOT more.
Attempts to create plans for a mobile wizard tower come to naught.
[-11 mana][2]
Attempts to generate more "Clockwork Man" also result in nothing. Of course "More man" would probably have just been either a very fat clockwork man or a very studly one.
More man than you can handle~
Swing out to 084.028 and take specimens of the plants in the area. Watch out for natural and unnatural hazards.
Name: Menal
Appearance: a plain man in plain robes

Name: Bronan
Appearance: Conan the Barbarian with a tiny wizard hat
Sphere: Biomancy
Mana: 20
Well, that settles that.
Create the ultimate pair of legs.
...hmmm
[6]
Bronan considers that the ultimate pair of legs is the one he has. And thus he does squats. Lots of squats. Squats for days. Literally.
Name: Arsholl
Appearance: Shortish anime human with very long green hair which forms giant curls.
Sphere: EXSUPLOSIONS!
Mana: 25
Wonder how it's so hard to put up signs with the exact text that I have in mind. Any why it apparently used up both my action AND movement.
If putting up signs and checking the environment haven't used up my action, spend 1.5 mana cost to summon an Explosive Sentry; a humanoid explosion elemental who follows my orders and can cast ranged explosions equivalent to a stick on dynamite at targets within the same hex. Tell him to stand on top of my tower and toss explosions at any uninvited creature which gets too close (moves past the no trespassing signs) to my tower.
Have a walk [043.017] -> [042.018] -> [041.019] -> [042.018] -> [042.018]. If I run into intelligent creatures of some sort, stop.
Inspect this terrain.
For very good reasons[-6 mana] [1] [6]
Arsholl's attempt to summon a sentinel results in an explosion that, perhaps luckily or unluckily, propels....her?... all the way to 42, 18. Unfortunately there is nothing there but some grass so she starts walking back towards her tower. She stops when she reaches her tower and finds the area around it blasted to glass. The explosive sentinel is just sitting around, flexing and quoting hulk hogan. Huh.
Name:Marl
Appearance:A bearded human in a green hooded cloak carrying a staff.
Sphere:Dinosaurs.
Mana:25
Well, that won't do. Conjure up a bunch of dinosaurs and release them into the wilds around my tower.

Marl spreads a fair number of dinosaurs across the island. They're varied in species but are not soldiers or minions, just wild animals.
Marl plays a tune as they run off into the wilderness.Name: Khor'Kal the Mossy

[-2 mana][2]
Khor shouts "MAKE MY WAIFUS GROW!" at the plants, to little effect.
Name: Sid
Appearance: Old fisherman
Sphere: Water and Corpses (Skull of Cybernecromancy)
Mana: 25
Talk to the cyberskull and ask it what happened to the tower. If it's not very talkative, try to find a corpse, raise it and ask it what happened to the tower. If that's not possible either, then just see what I can deduce from investigating the tower about what happened here. Did they kill each other? Did they leave? Were they attacked? Where did they come from? Is there a settlement around here? I'm interested in stuff like that.
"Hello?"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"So what happened here?"
Do I know I do I know? Oh my. "Thats not..."
