[5-1=4]STR [6]DEX [5-1=4]No was unable to see through his eyes, but it did not mean that he was entirely without senses. He could still sense magical power, same method that helped all others to always keep track of where their opponents were, now helped No to tackle Flare. The two fell on the ground in a pile again, and though feromancer managed to throw No off him before Dragon incinerated them both, No was smirking, as he pocketed three of Flares' shards. Flare charged like a mad bull, roaring with anger, an attack No managed to roll out of the way from, if barely. Feromancer, not faced with resistance he expected, collapsed on the ground right next to user of The Evil Eye.
Edit: New Action: Calmly and confidently walk to NAV's hex.
Marcus was faced with something entirely outside his sphere. One would assume that any fair competition would had prevented one from being killed immediately upon entering, chessmaster found himself standing close enough to a rather menacing looking dragon, which was seemingly trying to kill a trio of others, to admire shine of its scales. This was entirely unsuitably dangerous. Unsuitably cold too. Oh, who's there? A mage in a forest, seemingly rather calm. He wouldn't be so calm if he was in danger? And if he were murderous, he wouldn't be just waiting there? It was worth a try. Anything that included going away from this beast was worth a try.
"Might have to kill another god."
If the dragon attack me or anyone in the same hex, summon solid(-1) heat(-1) around it using my +2/+2 chaos essence.
Otherwise craft 4 more summoning essences.
By the way, what rolls are required to get a +3 essence? +4?

POT [4+1+1-3=3]James was considering his options. Another giant beast was in the lands, yet he had not obtained another mech with power to level cities. Then again, something smaller but nimbler may prove useful as Dragon would most likely chose to fight in air. Summoning another creature so that the two would battle was on one hand both interesting and potentially profitable, but it left the chance that one of two creatures would survive relatively unharmed. Decisions, decisions.
"Need more essences."
Two more essences but in case the dragon also decides to attack one of us in our current hex, then focus instead in generating heat around the dragon (-1 ranged) through friction using my powers.
"Argh. Seriously, after we're finished, I'm seeking healer. Magic miscasts... Ugh... Get very annoying..."
Endure. Craft three essences. If dragon attacks - support Crimson in creating heat aura.
Jase remains silent, focused on hoarding his power.
Two more aether essences.

POT [5]Jase, Crimson and Kahel continued observing the dragon, as it dealt with nearby bunch of mages. Even faced with greater threat, they still continued to fight among themselves. So strange. Even though Crimson lost an arm and Kahel a friend, they knew how to work entirely for themselves, ignoring both losses and gains of everyone else. After all, if one wanted to enjoy their wealth, they usually needed a body to do so. The priest haunting Hrunzwic chapel wine cellars was only one known exception to the rule, and trio did not like the chances one bit. Plans were being formed, spell bindings drawn, power collected and stored. Thank spirits above or disposable distractions.
HIDE MYSELF
LUCK [10]A dragon, strangely white and only barely bloody landed no more than thirty meters away and attempted to fry few mages gathered there. This was both a bad time and a bad place to search for lost anything, let alone something that may atomize you on sight. Romanticarnus felt that he needed to hide, and in a rare moment of clarity among insanity, he understood exactly what to do. Hiding physically was useless, either dragon had some advanced senses for sensing mages or he was hidden well enough anyways. What he needed to do was to hide his power for the time being. How lucky for Romanticarnus, that he had found some ancient lore just on that quite recently. Short litany rendered sorceror invisible for those searching for either magic or warp.
{Invisible to dragon and (if you want to) invisible on map until next spellcast}
Three more essences, please.

LUCK [1]Gambler focused his powers once, twice, but third time something felt instinctively off. It was the same bad feeling that comes just before roulette wheel stops on zero, exactly like looking in a smug crack within your opponents otherwise emotionless visage as they show you a royal flush. Mage felt something sharp within his left pocket, where he kept his mirrors for times when he needed to see what happened behind him, and indeed, one had shattered in exactly seven parts. As being capable of manipulating luck, Gambler would be able to dodge seven years of misfortune, but it would be a drawback that may prove fatal this day.

END [6]Noticing that his breath failed to hit both the main target and those around, dragon opted for a swifter attack, striking at No with his claws. Yet that pesky cursed mage with cursing eyes managed to dodge again! The strike did hit another, the mace using mage who wanted to kill his prey, throwing him far away from the battle. Good, now he'll know not to interfere when dragons hunt.
