Turn 181

four essences, attempt to get the balloon to animate a pseudopod to communicate friendliness back to the slime.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Clownman carefully manipulated his balloon to create a pseudopod and poke the slime back in the same way it had pocked the balloon. The slime retracted all of it's pseudopods, did a spin and bumped into the balloon. Clownman decided that this, in the unsophisticated language of slimes was a promise of eternal love and that it meant that he had a new pet.

Well then, 2 essences.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Surg continued his prolonged stay in the pit in hopes that his newfound friends, one of which was trying to kill him a few minutes ago, won't accidentally kill him. Or "accidentally" kill him. Or tear off his leg and declare the situation fixed because he no longer had a leg broken. To a mage, those were all very real and, due to their commonness, very unintimidating prospects.

Would you like to join TOAM?

Use 5   +1/+1 essences to give me the ability to change  wether my fingertips are sharp or not, much like how wolverine can retract his claws at will. (Ideally changing between one state to the other would then become a free action if this spell succeeds)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Skeliborn, overlooking the victim and the killer make friends, decided to meaningfully focus on his claws for a bit. He focused the potential sharpness and balanced it against the real edge, creating a mostly nonexistent plane of reality specifically for containing his nail claws when not in use. There was probably a better way of doing this but he was busy impressing the two fresher mages before him.

Even more power with GBM.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Easter Sunday continued channeling power into his soon to be armor. It was now complete, all parts finished and functional, but as a mage he could still charge it with even more supernatural ability.

Form 2 essences, head towards the chanting.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Cuberac decided that if he was to stay in the tower it would be a smart idea to greet the inhabitants. The sane option of going out of the tower and just leveling the thing had not even occurred to him. Down the stairs there were a few torches that made it possible to actually see things and what Cuberac saw was a stone table with what seemed like a corpse on it, surrounded by eight figures in red robes, chanting. Cuberac had a hard time identifying the corpse due to how many bits it was missing.

The power of this heart, or my own will? Drained, decrepit, weak constructs of bone and magic to guard something such as this? Do I truly harness the power of fire? The smallest of tests...
Fire a bolt of burning blood straight into the air, far enough to be seen by many.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Duritarum focused his power and fired a flare of blood and flames. It exploded high above in sparks of red and orange. Anyone looking at the sky on the island would see this one.

Find a small (unoccupied) room. If possible, drag the luck-based chair (if it's still intact) down to that room, then summon a glass decanter of Liquid Luck™, using a +1/+1 and +1POT essence. Then one more essence, if time remains.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Gambler ventured through the Tower, deciding to avoid the one room with a warning hanging over the entrance. His chair was still where he had left it, though it was still as annoyingly heavy. Gambler dragged it to a room of his own though his choice of room happened far closer to the Council room than other private room choices. Inside, he conjured a potion of Luck, one of the most desired and most illegal substances to ever exist. It was a good thing that the Sherif was dead, or this could get him in so much trouble.

Pretty sure I left the magic containment box on the duck island. Summon it for Viznor with 2/2 of essences.
Then make 3 essences.


Spoiler (click to show/hide)

James focused on his box filled with various stuff, the primary building block of Wizardly mess, the only habitat in which a wizard can feel truly comfortable. He called it back through a rift of spacetime, conjuring both the box and a fair amount of dirt that was around the box.

I can be bothered with private messages, so my action is here. Spoilered so you metagaming bastards can't react.

Shias sent a sneaky poisonous cloud towards a potential enemy, but unfortunately for the druid, his target had went through enough drugs during his career to kill a leviathan and had built up a considerable resistance to them. The poison passed through entirely unnoticed.

Damond, Fist Wizard:

"AHA! Perhaps now your physical endurance will be of no help to you!"

Damond punches the troll's soul image. And uses GBM. His particular target: the troll's arm that was about to punch.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Duritarum prepared his strike well, but in the time he took to prepare the Troll attacked. It felt strange to feel the strike of a ghost troll, but Duritarum's mind was no weaker than his body, resisting easily. He took the opportunity for a devastating counterstrike that tore off ghostly troll's arm.

Xom coalesces some of the residual chaos-infused dust with the intent of forming a ring, using +1/+1 worth of essences. So as to maintain tradition, he follows up the spell with a game of [chaos] essence roulette.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Xom attempted to conjure a ring from the still chaotic dust that remained in the area. He succeeded, for a given value of success, as the ring was two meters wide and weighted about two tons. It did not help that more sulfur fractals grew on it almost immediately as his essence roulette failed.

make 2 essences, look for anything interesting near me
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Seva looked around again. The swamp could not, should not be this empty. But empty it was, besides frogs and leeches. One particularly loud frog was croaking just a few feet away, trying for the "most annoying animal" award, possibly in hopes of eating the fly that occupied the top place at the time.

Alright then, first things first.

Chorkinaan decreases the melting point of any stone immediately holding Surg down. No essences.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chorkinaan, in a gesture of good will attempted to free his victim-to-be from the trap of stone Surg had found himself in. The rocks around Surg melted and then evaporated, causing Surg to fall again, though this time with no extra injuries.

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.

Damond, Master of Fist!:

"Duritarum? Nice name, but not mine."

Damond glares at the fourth wall, raising a fist.

"In any case, I've spent long enough fighting you. FINISHING STRIKE!"

Damond took a nice look at the link that connected the troll's soul to its body, preventing its soul from simply disintegrating. Then he punched it, using GBM to help fuel the modification of this particular punch to make it have a cutting effect.

((If it's not permissible, I'll think of something else.))

Oh, hey! Well, that went well. I guess I ended up altering boiling point as well as melting point. Well, now you've got your own little platform! It's a good thing that gaseous stone is apparently lighter than air, or you'd be suffocating right now.
Chorkinaan stepped back from the hole and turned towards Skelliborn, speaking in a lower tone.
I swear, if getting into TOAM is THIS easy, there's just no way there's NOT going to be a coup. Nice pocket dimension claws, by the way. Let me help you with that rope.

Chorkinaan casts a spell to perform fine modifications to several of the physical aspects of the grass which makes up the rope Skelliborn is creating, in order to make them more ideal for being woven into a rope. No essences.
((just a few minor tweaks to some of the essential attributes. Cohesiveness is a good thing to raise slightly, as is overall toughness. Just helping make a good rope.))

If the ropes are successful, climb it up.

Well then, if drugs don't work then let's give him old fashioned bear hug, the kind that grinds ribs into dust and snaps spine in five places.

And I think I had some tentacle vines on my juggernaut? I magic them wrapping around his neck and into his mouth, and taking root in his flesh.
