Begin Turn:
+1 Energy

Inventory: 1 Energy
0 Earth Essence
1 Mud Essence
1 Fertile Earth essence

Dungeon inventory: -4 energy +6 unclaimed space. (+5 additional unclaimed space at end of turn)

I hope people don't mind me using the dungeon energy here, I figure this is as good a use as any, start us off exploring and get more room for us to expand? If anyone objects I'll change my turn.

_{Also ooph, I hope there's a goal change soon enough in the future, since I think my current goal got slightly obsoleted by this.}

[Criptfeind]

Is it possible to "Carve" locations that do not appear to be made of rock, such as the spaces around my current personal space?

If you're looking for getting unclaimed space in order to allow you to claim them for yourself, I think my action should free up sufficient space for you to grab whatever you want.

Edit: To everyone, if people don't think the corridor is a bad idea in general that I should edit away, does anyone think if it should be a 3x3 instead? That does seem a bit more efficient per energy use for gaining space, being +1 tile and -1 energy, and I... guess there's currently not seemingly any reason to not have 3 wide hallways, I just picked it because it's literally called a "corridor" Perhaps that was in error?

[Supernerd]

I think the benefit of the corridor is that it can be used to extend the grid the fastest, revealing more of the map. We should roll back the fog of war as much as possible to reveal things.

Begin Turn:

+1 Energy
+1 Plasma Essence
+1 Holy Water Essence
+0.5 Plant Essence

Absorb Essence: Void Essence

Trade - Resource: Give 1 Void Essence to Zixhil the Defiler

Core Essences:
0 Void Essence

Tri Essences:

Holy Water Essence sounds like it could be a decent draw.

Isbrann combines Earth and Water essences, which sizzle and hiss. Isbrann has discovered Steam essence. A simple essence perhaps, but one with a variety of creative uses in the right hands. Particularly for traps.

I thought this sounded strange, then realised you meant to say Fire and Water.

[VermilionSkies]

I'm going to keep getting Air until Infernal opens up, because we have no combinations currently recorded.
_{oof ouch my energy}

I figured I'd fill out the rest of the more esoteric essences for Fire.

[Strif3]

From here on out—until we find a source of Infernal Essence—i am willing to produce and trade Infernal essence in exchange for either 2 Void essence, or 1 Void essence + 1 Fate, if anyone wants some Infernal essence to mess around with. I am also be willing to trade Celestial essence, for either 1 Void essence or 1 Fate per Celestial essence. If i don't currently hold what you trade for, i'll give it to you next turn.
I do not feel as at odds with myself as the Chaos essence i hold does.

Build - Carve Corridor: 2x3. D1, E1, Carve North. No claims. (Using 4 Fate.)
(I did this off of your claimed area, Vermillion. You okay with this, i assume?)
EDIT: Trade - Resource: 1 Celestial Essence to Gul(Maxine) for 1 Fate. (+1 Fate) (-1 Celestial Essence)

End Turn.

I don't mind you carving off of my claim, but could you carve E1 and F1 instead, so that it lines up with the other tunnels being carved?

[Strif3]

I don't mind you carving off of my claim, but could you carve E1 and F1 instead, so that it lines up with the other tunnels being carved?

I chose D1 and E1 because it lines up better with the already existing layout and is more efficient in terms of additional tiles needing to be carved to turn it into a proper 2 wide corridor. 1 (D2) in the case of the current configuration, versus 2 with E1 and F1, and doesn't waste the tile already carved by Criptfeind on D3. I think it would actually end up looking worse if i carve it from E1 and F1, plus a little asymmetry never hurt anyone.

But if you truly insist on me carving it from E1 and F1, i'll edit my post.

[VermilionSkies]

_pain

But if you insist.

[Maxine]

_pain

But if you insist.

I'd prefer not to, but I could be bribed convinced to move mine one to the left to match up.

E: Also Strife I'll give you 1 Fate for that spare Celestial you're carrying.

[Strif3]

E: Also Strife I'll give you 1 Fate for that spare Celestial you're carrying.

Sure! I'll edit my action.

[SCREE]

Works a bit manic this week so aiming for an update this weekend

[Supernerd]

Is this game still a thing?

[SCREE]

Yes! Very sorry, got some workstuff going on this week with a potential promotion so I'm a bit wrapped up in that at the moment. My games will likely resume on this upcoming weekend if I can't get a post out midweek.

[Maxine]

Life is always more important than someone getting impatient on the internet, so don't need to apologise. Good luck with the work stuff.
