World Difficulty:
95. As you look outside a blizzard obscures your vision for a few moments, before you manage to see an opening in the clouds. High above your position a massive mountain floats in the sky covered in distant verdant green trailing waterfalls of sparkling water. Spires made from some sort of white stone are visible, and a crystaline chime is barely heard before the image is swallowed up by the clouds once more.

Get the crabs to mate
attempt: 91
quality: 97
base influence: 6+97=103
Dimming the lights, you have the ship start crooning out some Barry Manalow. Taking two of the crabs aside, you bring them together in the way only crabs can. Underwater, and barely touching. However the effect is instant and you achieve a handfull of bright pink crab-caviar. With tiny baby crabs just waiting to hatch.

+ double-fisted handfull of tiny, bright-pink crab eggs(about 97 eggs in total)
!base influence: 103!Note: hatching any number of the eggs will result in breaking of the stack, putting most of them in group storage. However, any crabs 'crafted' from the eggs, will get a bonus to their influence, of about 51, half the influence of the eggs. Gratz on the crit roll, maybe Elias was meant to be a breeder. *invisions a Brock look-a-like*
Hatch another bat-like bird egg
attempt: 30
Cradling one of your eggs, you try the same technique as before to try and hatch it. However, for whatever reason the same amount of heat and time isn't enough, or perhaps it was too much. Nothing changes with the egg either way, so you'll have to try again later.

Craft. Seeing as I can't saw something without a handle I craft one out of my last piece of blue chitin. Is this allowed? Will change if not.
attempt: 93-10+1=84
quality: 50
base influence: 100+50=150 o.o
Using your last piece of scorpion chitin you smooth all of the edges and give it a rounded texture that would fit comfortably into a hand. To make it more impressive, you nab two of the loose crab claws and fuse them into either end of the handle.

Diving down to the bottom of the ocean, though taking several hours you eventually reach the sand bottom. Filled with micro-plankton and other assorted deep sea life you form your powers into a sort of energy bucket and with it scoop up a large amount of deep sea sand. Closing your powers around the collection, you surface, and manage to find the portal back to the ship just in time.

Sacre Bleu! What is this? How on earth could I miss, such a sweet little suculent crab. Quel domage. what a loss, Here we go, in the sauce. Now some flour, I think just a dab. ~
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuuEDDyvzuE ~ Channeling your inner french chef, you deftly prepare a *Crab Meat Roast*. The ingredients are masterfully minced crab meat, superiorly minced crab ichor, and minced giant scorpion eye stalks.

Slap self. After that, build a motor from some of that plasma, metal etc. and replace that with the wooden handle on the cylinder. If all that is successful, give it a few test revs (part of craft). Reserve some of the plasma for another planned project. Buy a metalworking workshop, hopefully that'll help with smithing and the creation of this motor.
Spending some of your hard earned influence, you request some metalworking gear from the ship. It provides you with a small hand held spot welder to use with connecting metal pieces.
attempt: 46+20=66
quality: 93
base influence: 56+93=149
Setting your mind away from anything involving, ugh... cloth. You begin to construct an advanced engine from the parts laying around. With a swing of your hands here and there, massive sounds of grinding metal and groaning iron resound around your workspace. In the end, you manage to create a viable plasma-based engine made from an iron bar and the partially fused iron and lime metal chunk.

!base influence:149!Note: your inventory is now full, any further crafting without donation to the group storage or using what you have will result in the end product going into group storage.
Another appointed time has arrived, and another world disappears into the void behind you as the Aglaia leaves it behind.World difficulty: 95. A rumble from outside heralds your landing, as an eerie wind seems to howl past the portal of the ship. Looking outside a blizzard obscures your vision for a few moments, before you manage to spot an opening in the clouds. High above your position a massive mountain floats in the sky covered in distant verdant green, and trailing waterfalls of sparkling water. Spires made from some sort of white stone are visible, and a crystaline chime is barely heard before the image is swallowed up by the clouds once more.
Whee... so many huge rolls this turn. 
I had so much fun putting that les poissons song on loop while writing Rashuilul's action as well. I reccomend people listen to that link while reading. *nodself* Link to better audio quality and auto loop: http://lair2000.net/Mermaid_Lyrics/lyrics/Les_Poissons.html Singing Star Trek DS9 star ftw.
