((Sorry about the delay.))

"Then it is a deal. How should we do this? Should I make the talisman first, or will you make the armor first?"

"I shall make the armor first, and hand it to you as the talisman is created. The separation is highly preferable, as I wish to assist with the creation of the talisman so as to make it as potent as is possible. You are welcome to do the same for your armor, if you so choose."

Placeholder action is to make five knowledge essences and search the library for something related to the multiverse and/or transdimensional travel. (+3 to luck from slam poetry tome, tower aura, and ring).

This will be replaced with the armor spell if we work everything out before next turn.

Turn 217

Now smash it and observe the results.

The cube crashed into the rocky ground and shattered. With the first crack that appeared, blinding light spilled forth, forcing Cuberac to cover his eyes. Afterwards, there were only a few shards of mirror glass left.

It appears I may need to delay the ritual for a bit while I prepare better sacrifes.
Summon 2 blades (2 spells)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Skeliborn conjured some more blades, one a rapier and the other a short-sword. Now those would certainly do, they had plenty of swordyness and yet enough differences.

Enchant the regeneration ring to massively [-3 CMP] improve the wearer's Luck with unstable, chaotic, and/or collapsing essences. 3 +1/+1 essences, one +2/+2 essence.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Gambler focused his power on his regeneration ring and turned. Strands of fate were twisted and redirected, the magic itself working to further Gambler's goals. The ring glimmered softly, catching the light just so, seemingly entirely by accident. This, this could very well be his best work yet.

{Ring of Fortune, +3 LUCK, regeneration.}

Summon a bird that is similar to one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_honeyguide but instead of searching for beehives, it searches for treasure unclaimed by a mage then leads me to it, use 5 +1/+1 essences

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Seva called forth a bird that wasn't. It was a fairly difficult job, calling a bird and then modifying it before it materialized. When it came it had feathers that had colour of gold and it immediately homed in on the crystal bird. It chirped at it and then returned to Seva, where it chirped again. The crystal bird seemed slightly confused by this.

Make some basic tools that are made from nanobots. Perhaps an axe or the like (which aren't grey goo).

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Marcus, unsatisfied with his grey goo attempt, decided to go for simpler and more instant means. In this case, the more instant mean was a hand ax built from nanobots holding themselves together. Not as durable as a solid item but far easier to repair.

Doktor Diabolical:

"Soon, yes, soon I will be ready to start the ritual. Wait. The aether resonance matrix. Need to remember to call it that. My scientist friends would never take me seriously if I called it a ritual. Unless, of course, it was an actual ritual. Like the one with the string and the demon and the boline that was supposed to turn you into a vampire. But this is nothing like that. Yes."

3 more essences in preparation for the creation of the final ritual sacrifice.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Doktor almost had all the material required for his aether resonance matrix project. Definitely not a ritual. Those had candles, and drawings on the ground and creepy people in robes. Doktor wore clothes that were more practical than robes, so no danger there.

fine by me.


Three essence routine.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chorkinaan conjured some extra power while he waited. Soon, he'd be able to get to work again.

Easter Sunday makes 4 essence.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Easter conjured some more power in preparation for some future work. Like developing those eggs further. Or making some more giant wasps. Either way, someone will probably be horrified.

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.

Viznor calmly waited for his partner to mull over the offered deal. Then he stopped calmly waiting and went off and grabbed another book, this one about wards against teleportation. There was respecting people and there was wasting time, they could think while he read.

Finally got around to updating table of contents and map Legend. With that, the last effects of my exams on the game are over.

Three essences, and use the orb to discreetly check up on any upcoming disturbances, such as the ritual outside.

[glow=yellow]Shall we start then? I would prefer it if my armor had the property to damage the attacker...[/glow]
If Viznor starts making the armor, Easter Sunday uses +5 +5 non chaotic essence to help.
If not, he imbues more power with any chaotic essence into the eggs
