Ah yes, when a certain skeleton opened a portal to another dimension. Good times.
I actually miss him, his adventures were amusing (if dangerous on the world-scale) and provided a ton of info about the inner working of this reality.
Oh? Please tell us more about this skeleton's adventures; I'm interested.

Like I said, CREATE A GODDAMN SEE-THROUGH SHIELD AROUND SELF!

Quickly evaluate the potential for danger and alliance of all visible objects, taking care to avoid either yourself or Unit coming into the ground vehicle's firing path.
+1 to both of these. Have Unit create an invisible shield around itself as well.

Can we change Unit's speech color to something other than beige (or white). It's quite hard to see its speech.

Jump in the river to put myself out. Failing that, stop, drop, and roll. Failing that, extract the "consume" purpose from the fire.

Put the fires out using a leaf and some water. If I can't do that, just extract the "spread" purpose from the fire (so that it will burn itself out).

Recover the ashes from my fire pit.

Search the trash from the nearby village in the river for a container. Mix the ashes with some tree sap within it, then use a leaf to rub the resulting ointment onto a stick. Examine the properties of both the stick and the leaf.

If I run low on mana, extract the purpose "be magical" from my magical herbs, mix that with some water in a junk-container, and drink/consume the result.

Dig a little mini-river coming out of the big river (have you ever done that at a beach?). Extract the purpose "to direct" from the mini-river.

Mix the "to direct" purpose with some tree sap in another trash-container. Use another leaf to apply the resulting ointment to another stick. Does the stick (and/or the leaf) allow me to command plants, sticks, tree sap, leaves, and/or things in general?

Essence won't come flying to you over large distances, it needs to be claimed. If after a while, it returns to the world.
Darn.

So now I have to choose between doing something productive or doing something needlessly antagonistic, destructive, risky, !!FUN!!, and potentially harmful to myself.

I'll flip a coin.

(1d2: 2)

WMDs it is!

Extract the "spread" purpose from some moss or fungus.

Start a fire and extract the "consume" purpose from it.

Extract the "passage of time" purpose from my sundial-stick. If I can't extract any meaningful amount of it, no biggie- my WMD won't need to mess with time to be effective.

Dig a fire pit and designate it as my "cauldron". Start a fire in it, and add my "passage of time", "spread", and "consume" purposes to it/the fire (if I don't have any "passage of time" purpose(s), just use the "spread" and "consume" purposes). Wait for the fire to absorb those purposes, then use a stick/torch to bring some of my new super-fire out of the pit and into the highly-flammable forest. Then run.

If the fire doesn't seem to be spreading, wait and observe it some more. If it does appear to be spreading at a half-decent rate, keep running.

This should be interesting.

Question: How exactly does one extract essence from their kills? Is it just the act of killing that gives you essence, or do you have to do something to the corpse(s)?
For simplicity sake, you get it after a while upon killing it. If there are many other monsters present though, it get shared.

Consuming the kill before the essence has left the body makes sure the essence goes to you, and also greatly speeds up the process.
What happens if I, say, nuke a place, or start a magical doom-fire?

Does freezing something in time count as "killing" it?

"I better go but... Shit, there's Jal. It'd be kinda shitty if I left him to die twice."
Assist Jal by swinging down, grabbing his bat form, then leaping through the hole Bear left for me.
Thanks, man.

-1 to creating another being that can come close to rivaling our power while simultaneously weakening our own power (a.k.a. splitting off a piece of ourselves and giving it independence/a lack of emotions).

Spoiler: My Sheet (click to show/hide)

I have achieved great power! To celebrate, stand outside, focus on something quite a distance away (and point as much of my body as I can towards that point), and cast an Animate Dead Machine Erupt from ground Blood Spike When near death/dies Wall spell with a -10 POT penalty.

So... Mission complete?

If I decided to make my own gang and not join Syv's gang, what cards would this tile produce?

Er it was less we stopped having a reason, and more that we overloaded on addictive happiness.
I'm pretty sure that we became faded out/white because we lost the motivation to do anything.
I agree, but since we gained the ability to feel emotions after the start, we clearly had motivation before emotions. So there's no reason to think we would lose it again. I suppose we could perform a test by having only the small chunk lose emotions.
You want to give a piece of ourselves different thought processes than the rest of ourself? You do realize that that will likely cause the piece to become an independent entity, right?
