Yeah, that's what we call stack-splitting. It's not new, it happened in the first game too. Also, it lets other people use it without having to ask for permission. Finally, I invoke Rule Zero.

I blow all my influence on buying trading equipment. (An expensive-looking trunk that looks as though it contains something valuable, a trustworthyness badge, hypnotic sunglasses, that sort of thing...)
I grab 1 ever-molten bowl of liquid glass !base influence 90! and 4 multicoloured geode fragments !base influence 36 each!.
Then I'll charge out and try to gather some of those Flame beasties again.

Ok, but you could ask before doing it?

[RAM]

You cannot craft with something unless you break up its stack. You can only have 10 items in your inventory at a time, so you must drop something in order to stop something else falling into group inventory.

If RAM is willing to do a trading run, give him my sunset rock, and my recursive drinking horn to do it

Craft A Geode Fragment into a highly polished sphere

[RAM]

I plan to do a trading run next turn, I can still trade if I get lost trying to gather, can't I?

[wolfchild]

Yep, but only if you have the stuff to trade on you, so take those two items from me now anyway

[Criptfeind]

I gather.

Ok, then I will grab 2kg of black sand, drop the rest of the sand on the group inventory, and make a sand statue.(I have maked a water statue, so why not ?)

[RAM]

Awesome, I will take a beautiful red garnet recursive drinking horn !base influence 83! and a beautiful polished sunset rock !base influence 175!

[Zaerosz]

Still waiting on Dwarmin.

[Zaerosz]

I'll leave the update until tomorrow afternoon - too bloody tired right now.

This... This is a nightmare. This place defies physics. Crystal spires hang from nowhere. A gaping blue vortex swirls above - no, below - wait, sideways... okay, so it's SOMEWHERE around here, just on the corner of your vision. Cackling grey flames - yes, CACKLING - leap and dance from crystal to crystal. Webs of... um... bloody hell, what is that? Anyway, webs of... stuff span crevasses that aren't there. And in the biggest crystal... something moves.

After handing over your sunset rock and drinking horn to Ramington, you wonder what you should do today. Deciding to try your luck with the gems again, you select another chunk - this one a deep translucent green - and set to work smoothing, poilishing and reshaping. Finally, you end up with a beautiful emerald sphere. However... you just aren't satisfied with it. You think for a minute... how to improve it?

With a flicker of inspiration, you have your answer. You create small cracks throughout the centre of the orb, and suddenly it glitters like a brilliant-cut diamond.

After much mental preparation, you assert yourself, step through the door and promptly fall in a direction I'm not quite sure what to call. It seems to involve time, as you end up looking through your shoulder to see your ship flash into existence behind you. Seems you've got an extra day gathering. Lucky you! You put it to good use, gathering the strange webby substance from the crevasses you can see out of the back of your eyes. No, not your brain-cobwebs.

Shortly afterwards, you slip and fall...someway. Which happens to be towards the vortex. You grab some swirly blue as you fall, because why not? Somehow, you open your eyes and you're back in the ship. You decide not to think about anything too hard for a while.

You decide to make a sculpture out of sand. How hard could it be? It's just like making a sandcastle!

Then you remember you were never any good at sandcastles either.

Taking a few items from the hold, and buying a fancy briefcase from the ship, you set out to catch the flame creatures again. After staying in this mockery of nature for a day, you are much more accustomed to the oddities of this world - even if it means seeing your own livers from time to time - and are able to easily catch up with the nimble little beasts.
