Since everyone else is leaving, I jetpack my way into orbit, following politifar. Don't want to find out if ghost jetpacks can be burned by magma.5. You turn on your ghost jetpack and fly into space.
Fine I phase my general surroundings into a pocket dimension.(this will put me out of harms way,naturally)5. You disappear into another dimension along with everything within several feet of you. Looking around, you are surrounded by something completely colorless and seemingly impenetrable.
Let's go along with that. I use tectonic shifts to bring together and meld into crystal a large amount of gemstones. The crystal will have such properties that it will emit a powerful beam of coherent light when heated up and put to great pressure. The crystal would be located somewhere above my eyes, on the "forehead".The magma will harden if you make it harden, but there's so much of it that it will stay melty.
I attempt to start a nuclear fission, in an attempt to become a miniature sun.6. You leap into the air, and spin rapidly, using a cyclone effect to bring tons of magma to you to fuel your transformation. You then become swallowed by a huge and steadily growing fireball until you're about the size of the sun. Looking around, you find that you are out in space, near Mercury. Looking around further, it seems that you consumed Mercury.
I attempt to possess the sun.2. You can't possess such a large object that easily.
well anyways, it seems Cyx and Jetman are onboard, sadly i prefer not to wait for a third passenger, its getting too dangerous here. I engage my anti-gravity propulsion system and launch into an orbit around the Sean.3. You blast off high into the atmosphere, but don't quite get into orbit. You'll still suffer heat damage if you don't get out next turn.
I attempt to electronically disable any nanobots that attack me with power from Poltifar's electrical system.1. You try to zap the nanobots, but you end up shocking yourself (burned) and now the nanobots think you're a threat. They will attack you twice per turn now.
I try to get an underwear for Jetman.3. From somewhere, you pull out some ugly underwear and hand them to Jetman.
I get inside Poltifar the space ship.3-1=2. You walk up to the ship but can't find the entrance.
I clamber aboard the poltifar-spaceship. Failing that I try to make some clothes out of leaves.4. You walk in.
That's it. I open the spore spaceship creator in my mind, and try to will something I build in it into existance. A gigantic metal-lobster-spaceship.3. A very small spaceship that slightly resembles a lobster appears. It only fits one person. You're too big to fit in.
i attempt to spawn high-tech nanobots to fix the cracks in my hull. I dont want all people onboard dying of decompression the instant i leave the atmosphere (or do i? hmm...6. You create nanobots that remove all the cracks, but they also attack any organic material in or on the ship. Everyone inside will have to roll to avoid a small amount of damage every turn.)
Anyway, ears don't seem to work. A shame, really. Then again, they wouldn't allow me to go "anywhere I please", they'd just allow me to "fly away". So, in spite of this, I just try to form a gigantic fusion reactor within myself, with numerous outlets in form of volcanoes all over my surface, for propulsion and steering. (I'm soo going to get a six on this... or a one... if I do, yer all done for.1. Oh god.)
I try to possess Poltifar !4-1=3. You try to possess poltifar, but just end up floating inside the spaceship. You're now in it.
I invent a space-ghost-propulsion engine using bedsheets and a complex system of ropes and pullies.5. You create a ghost-jetpack-thing that allows you to fly into space. Good thing you don't need to breathe.
My vision is a Submerge-able Fortress like the Figaro Castle from Final Fantasy 3/6. Goblin's try to siege? You just pull a lever and disappear beneath the surface (probably with sliding doors too)
And by Submerging I Don't MEAN FLOODING.
Your choice of wording brings an even more awesome image to mind.
SUBMARINE FORTRESS.
MADE OFSCREEN DOORSGLASS.
CRYSTAL GLASS.
And, just in case, I deleted the license.txt from the temporary directory and replaced it with a 0 byte file. EULA screen displays nothing, I agree to nothing.
