[SHAD0Wdump]

The new cannon for all intents and purposes now belongs to Nivm/Malak/Legion.

I watch the pirate ship attentively, if I see anything lunge out of it I throw up an arcane shield to block it.

[Jervous]

(Can my earth magic affect metal?)

[dragnar]

(Can my earth magic affect metal?)

Yes.

[stonemt]

...well... that sucks?
retreat and attempt to divine the source of these...things.

[Rolan7]

Investigate the building from which sounds of fighting are emanating.

Kinda busy, sorry.  I don't think I need automation yet though.

[Flintus10]

Lightning bolts towards whatever is moving inside the pirate ship.

[Jervous]

Go feed my drake instead of firing the cannons

[Nivim]

 There are quite a lot of things available to forget, and it feels to me too that there is something missing. Although this is probably mostly because all enemies/puzzles in sight are not really seen or understood, and the player actions get less pointed because of it. (Continued at end.)
 
 [ ] Thinking aloud (ha!) to everyone on the ship "Wait...the cannon balls haven't gone all the way through that dark void in the pirate ship once have they?" Offering mental pictures to everyone of the effects of our efforts. I pause contemplatively (and privately) for a moment, then "Heck. Heck, heckheckheckheck! Ceasefire cannons! Prepare for evasive maneuvers! Legion, execute evasive orbit! We're gonna have return fire, with liberal interest." However, Legion still fires the laser cannon.
 I telekinetically dangle that intensely cursed anti-magic ring near, or if possible, in the enemy ship, hoping it messes with them.
 To Flint "Remember the monocle!"
 To Leech "Master Smith, it appears your drake is hungry, and telepathic. This would be a good moment to take care of it." Then to Leech and his drake; the path they must take to reach the kitchen. (If there isn't a fridge with meat, perhaps try the grail again?) (Predit: It still fits. It must!)
 To Tharic "You do realize you were supposed to be at least helping load the cannons, right?"

I'm sorry I talk so much. It's kinda my reaction to that "something missing" feeling, and the "I am a leader!" feeling.

Spoiler:  Here is a list of all I see that might be missing; (click to show/hide)

  There are ~12 active followers right now, and only four of them are accounted for, ~one isn't in the stats. Those lost in vagueness are; Flint's air elemental (where?), Leech's wolf (is it still in the chariot?), Daemon's flying fortress, shadow weapon\arm, and Dutchman (where?),  Erreti and Tharic (do nothing without orders?), Luki's law demons (not in stats, and how many are there?), and Derek's Ice Tiger (where is it? With him?).
  Shouldn't Daemon be slowly getting lighter from his power source?
  The solar cannon is not listed in the stats.
  The scroll of summon Jabberwock is listed under my abilities. Perhaps you aught to make the ability/inventory order the same for new players (it's currently inventory→abilities for starting players and abilities→inventory for new players). You might also want to make a distinction between abilities and skills.
   Such as Derek should have ice armour/body and water specialization as abilities (the first is under inventory for some reason), with water magic and scythe use as skills.
  Will Derek's eye change be added to his abilities?
  Are you going to note down the collapsing forge?
  Do you need to alter the actions of those near the memory plant to include its ability?
  Have you decided whether or not the demon pirate is in the ship we are attacking? The one that pillaged so many villages.
  I've been forgetting that picture...

  Finally, why can't we hear the angels on SHAD0Wdump's chariot singing their lungs out about how awesome this is?... Did they really stop when I asked?

There are ~12 active followers right now, and only four of them are accounted for, ~one isn't in the stats. Those lost in vagueness are; Flint's air elemental (where?He seems to have forgotten about it... I guess it's still following behind him.), Leech's wolf (is it still in the chariot?following him around. It won't do much without orders.), Daemon's flying fortress, shadow weapon\arm, and Dutchman (where?The castle is floating somewhere in the fire plane, not far from the portal. The others aren't anywhere until summoned.),  Erreti and Tharic (do nothing without orders?Erreti is waiting with you, Tharic could be anywhere, it's a big ship. He'll get to the cannons when he hears your command though.), Luki's law demons (not in stats, and how many are there?I forgot to note them down. There are three.), and Derek's Ice Tiger (where is it? With him?...I guess? I sort of lose track of minions not being used to do anything.).
Basically, minions/followers won't do much unless they are being attacked/given orders.

Shouldn't Daemon be slowly getting lighter from his power source? Maybe.
The solar cannon is not listed in the stats. Doh.
The scroll of summon Jabberwock is listed under my abilities. Perhaps you aught to make the ability/inventory order the same for new players (it's currently inventory→abilities for starting players and abilities→inventory for new players). You might also want to make a distinction between abilities and skills. Bah, the problem is  that you have too much stuff!
 Such as Derek should have ice armour/body and water specialization as abilities (the first is under inventory for some reason), with water magic and scythe use as skills.
Will Derek's eye change be added to his abilities?No, he said to make it temporary.
Are you going to note down the collapsing forge?Not unless Leech tries to use it again. It will break in 1 more turn, so I don't think it would come up.
Do you need to alter the actions of those near the memory plant to include its ability?The ability takes days, not hours, to do it's job. Unless someone tries to stick around for that long it won't matter.
Have you decided whether or not the demon pirate is in the ship we are attacking? The one that pillaged so many villages.Yes it is. I also know what it's doing up here.
I've been forgetting that picture...

  Finally, why can't we hear the angels on SHAD0Wdump's chariot singing their lungs out about how awesome this is?... Did they really stop when I asked?
I'm no poet. They're there... just make something up for them to sing.

[Dermonster]

About the Ice tiger: I kept giving it orders to attack back during the mage fi- And just now I realized that he had that diplomatic thing.

He wasn't following any orders so i assumed he disappeared somewhere along the line.

[dragnar]

No turn just yet. I is sick...

[SHAD0Wdump]

No turn just yet. I is sick...

Boo... O(

Get better.

[dragnar]

So, do I have everybody's actions?

[Nivim]

 I guess my action's in; so is everyone else's. I have failed so hard, I guess I'll be using the next turn too now.

[dragnar]

Lightning bolts towards whatever is moving inside the pirate ship.

[6] You send a HUGE bolt of electricity at the pirate ship. It literally disintegrates over half the hull... but doesn't come out the other side. Nothing is visible now except a solid ship-shaped blob of darkness... your bolt also does a good deal of damage to Legion, everyone on board being stunned by the blast.
air magic(25/32)

Go feed my drake instead of firing the cannons

[2] You feed your drake... by which I mean it bites you. It wants meat, not more of the stuff from the grail. (yes, the ship has a kitchen, but the rolls say you didn't think of that.)

retreat and attempt to divine the source of these...things.

[4] You escape the building and attempt to sense the creature's origin. You cannot sense them... but using that fact you are able to track the nothingness down to a source deep below the town. Tendrils of the things extend from one point to everywhere in the city.

The new cannon for all intents and purposes now belongs to Nivm/Malak/Legion.

I watch the pirate ship attentively, if I see anything lunge out of it I throw up an arcane shield to block it.

[1-1] You ready yourself to defend but your concentration is ruined by a massive pulse of magic and electricity, and you are left totally unprepared for what comes next.

Ceasefire cannons! Prepare for evasive maneuvers! Legion, execute evasive orbit! We're gonna have return fire, with liberal interest." However, Legion still fires the laser cannon.
I telekinetically dangle that intensely cursed anti-magic ring near, or if possible, in the enemy ship, hoping it messes with them.

[6-1] You and Legion are able to recover quickly enough from Flint's blast to get to work. Legion begins moving, trying to get out of the way of whatever is coming, while you move your cursed ring over to the enemy ship.
Legion also fires the new laser cannon at the enemy ship, but while it DOES pierce through, unlike the previous attacks, the hole closes up instantly.

Investigate the building from which sounds of fighting are emanating.

[1] The demon charges out of the building and knocks you over. Ouch.

With my back to the wall, circle around the thing, searching for another passageway.

[4] There are no other passageways, but as you circle around you do notice a lone figure kneeling beside the thing in the middle of the chamber. He seems to be attached to it somehow, several tendrils leading from him to it.

Threat: Minimal
Responce: Overwhelming force(no, it doesn't take chances.)

As Malak's ring approaches the ship it quivers slightly, and for a moment it seems to be bending out of the way of the cursed object... Then the darkness surges forward, shattering the ring and destroying it's enchantment in an instant. The remaining splinters of wood on the ship fall off as the entire thing begins to change form. It moves in every direction at once, stretching until, with a slight popping noise, the bubble of darkness shatters into hundreds of fully armed battleships. In the center of the fleet, visible only on Malak's HUD, is a chair composed of pure darkness. On the chair sits a being that is very clearly not human, pointing straight at you all.


(Note: I'm planning for this game to have an actual ending once the two current plots are wrapped up, so be ready for the soon-to-come endgame! I will be a lot less nice about keeping everyone alive after that... and unfortunately that does mean everyone on the waiting list probably won't get in.)
