Perfect! Now to commence production.

Using 3 +1/+1 essences and 2 +1 cmp essences, cast an aura-type spell around the mushroom, causing the poison flowing from it to gravitate directly into the magic device's input. If I worked my spells right, this should see the poison flowing in, getting its altered gravity cancelled, falling into the liquid reservoir, and shrinking down to portable sizes.

Turn 246

Perfect! Now to commence production.

Using 3 +1/+1 essences and 2 +1 cmp essences, cast an aura-type spell around the mushroom, causing the poison flowing from it to gravitate directly into the magic device's input. If I worked my spells right, this should see the poison flowing in, getting its altered gravity cancelled, falling into the liquid reservoir, and shrinking down to portable sizes.

Chorkinaan knew little of the poison besides its obvious deadliness, so he decided to not touch it. He still wanted it though, so he created an aura around the mushroom that changed gravity to point towards the input of the container. The liquid flowed and filled the container, shrinking about five times as it entered. Then there was a creak and Chorkinaan saw the mushroom cracking and falling towards his container, and therefore, him.

Doktor Diabolical:

"Well, that's nice. Hm. Diamonds are useful for all sorts of things... lasers, for instance."

Let's get those diamonds mined out and transported to the factory. While that's happening, Doktor Diabolical improves the prospector bot's sensors and data processing(-1 for doing two things?) using 2 +1 POT essences, 1 +1 CMP essence, and a +1/+1 essence. Afterwards, he creates(-1) a robotic grenade(-1 or 0) at a distance(-1) using all his chaotic essences and a +1/+1 essence. The reason he's creating it a distance away from himself is because he doesn't want to get blown up if the grenade explodes.

Doktor remade the sensor bot while miner bot extracted diamond meteors. With some added screens and sound sensors the prospector bot revealed that inside of adamantine pillar was full of something solid. Meaning that it almost certainly wasn't a direct link to hell, or at least that it was not in use at the moment. This was great news, and not even the grenade which decided to identify as an armed mine and refused being touched could ruin his good mood.

Equip handheld bladecube and move into swarmcube range.

Cuberac carefully approached the bladecubes and the bear. The bear remained still as cubes began rising back into the air. It remained still all the way until the cubes around it began rising and then it burst out of the snow and ran. The burst of speed surprised Cuberac, which created a chance for the bear to attack. Luckily, the bear was running away from Cuberac and his cubes, probably to go after something easier, like penguins.

Summon one more luck ring and give it to Skelliborn, as payment (2 +1/+1 essences). Then two essences.

"Marvelous! A ring in payment, as promised. I intend to go back to the area with the crystal towers, near where we entered. I believe you had business there as well. Would you like to accompany me?"

If he agrees and is alright with leaving this turn or does not agree, leave the tower and begin heading north.
Sounds like a plan

Gambler and Skeliborn completed their transaction with Gambler conjuring a ring of luck and giving it to Skeliborn. The two then teamed up and went on the increasingly popular path of visiting the eldritch fields for fun and profit, team style. They paused not too far from the fields to figure out if they wanted or needed a better plan than just walking up to one of the towers.

make the shovel stop spinning and obey my commands

With another spell channeled through the emerald another wild spell was fixed. The shovel stopped spinning wildly and began floating in the air. But as Seva finished swearing and removing mud from his eyes he was something interesting. The wild flailing of the shovel had deposited a large amount of mud on the walls, enough to momentarily clear a portion of the floor. And on that semi clear floor there was a decidedly solid bump, similar in shame to one of the circles meant for the table above.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

Oh crap!

Attempt to dispell that gravitizing aura! If that fails, dodge, and leave the magic device behind, since it's being used as the point of gravitation for my messed-up spell.

((Think I'm late for PM.))

Minor spirits, such as this monkey, were easy to distract or scare off, but only if mage acted swiftly and decisively, gaining initiative. And as Ao held no desire to let his body be a plaything of fickle spirit, he acted like that.

Scare the spirit off, return to my body and check if any other spirit parasites tried to infest it. If spirit tries to snatch the body against its better judgement - fight it for control, reign in and imprison inside of body before deciding on its fate.

Map is fixed, Grenade is allowed. The arguments were less than great but I'll allow Doktor to get away with this as long as you only make suicide drones instead from now on.
