{Usually, there would be a sentence here about Sharrin engaging in conversation, but, uh, I have no idea who you are trying to talk to. Your action happened, I just have no idea what to write here.}
Switch to phoenix form, fly to the tower, non-fire resistant birds avoid the burning aether, make 2 essences

Seva rose to the sky and flew swiftly towards the Tower. There was a good reason to rush this time and he reached the purple walls just as light began falling from the sky again. Seva's birds watched with worry as another chunk of land vanished.
Continue heading east, and form 3 essences.

Cuberac traveled eastwards towards the eldritch lands and the blasted crater. There were still some mages there. Perhaps they would be useful in one way or another.
Doktor Diabolical:
"Oh, just die already! I don't have time for you!"
All chaotic essences on some robot parts. If they look viable, have the hauler dump them into the factory, producing a drill bot which will join the fight against the earth elemental. Laser bot keeps lasering, frost miner keeps frost mining. Two essences.

Combat droid powered up its laser again and the earth spirit split again to avoid it. But this time the droid saw through it and melted off the section connecting the two separate parts. Half of the earth spirit fell as lifeless dirt right there. Slightly unfortunately, the miner droid was aiming to hit the part that just collapsed and was left uselessly hitting dirt. The spirit itself, recognizing the danger of the droid leapt through the air in a stream of earth, falling just next to the drone, sending it scurrying away with pebbles bouncing off its armor.
Determine what the second set of runes on Vortex Bane does (the one that I got when making 10 essences in a row) please pm me my turn this turn.

Keep running as fast as I can. In fact, switch my omnicube into some sort of motorcycle or other simple vehicle to go faster.
Not to the tower, a few hexes south where I planted the tree.
While running, James remembered that he had a far better alternative and turned on omnicube's helicopter mode again. Firm grip and unknown engine carried James over the remains of burning aether and into the sight of the fire tree. Not quite in reach though, that would take few moments more still.
Keep travelling towards the eldritch lands. Make 3 essences.

It was unclear if the hydra rushed because it had mind enough to be afraid or if worry of its master passed over to it over the newly created gauntlet, but rush it did. Annoyingly, there were obstacles in form of burning aether that required going around an there was a massive hole between the mountains where easy passage once was, but these problems were eased by not having to walk yourself. Redrum made to the mountains overlooking the eldritch fields before light fell again.While traveling, Redrum felt a bit of power escape as he was trying to focus it and turn nearby stone into white dust. There were reasons why this was a bad sign, but none of them applied in world about to be demolished so he moved on without another thought.
