Then he frowns and looks over his fellow noble whats-his-face. "Speakin of- did ya ahave to go an shatter my cage ya daft twit? It was a work of art it were! Now, scurry on up some good pickaxes would ye? we're got TUNNELS to DIG!

The only pickaxes available are located in the blacksmith's shop, and he insists on monetary compensation to part with them. Well, that or being made a baron.

For my second action (or first if I can't do my above action), go see what drinks are available.
If I still need a second action by this point, fiddle with the mote and toothpick to see if I can learn anything else about them.
[2] You try to find some nice herbs, but just discover a slightly glowing cobra instead. It seems upset.
[6] While staring at an angry radioactive snake, you stick your tongue into your mote and discover that you can draw forth really long toothpicks. Whether this counts as "learning" anything is a topic for the sages.
[3] Incidentally, the snake takes this as an attempt at seduction. It plays coy by savaging your leg.

[1] This goes how it usually goes. Archimedes' and Erin's skeletons try to rip out of their fleshy prisons.
[1] Eventually they regain their composure and just start trying to move around in their meaty armor suits. Neither outer fleshy shell seems pleased with your brilliance.
You browse casually through your potion pack as your two former patients scream about skeletons this and you imbecile that. They're labeled but the labels are sometimes-vague pictograms, in part because there's kind of a lot of variation and mixed effects and so on. Still, on sheer volume the value can't be beat!

Archimedes and Erin: Living Skeleton"We're suddenly nobles, just like that? Sure, whatever you say." Anna would struggle a bit as she shifted her head a little from her position on the ground. "And yeah, I agree, House Wraith is a terrible name. We could go with something simple that represents who we are, like House Arcana, or maybe something impressive, like House Transcendent."
Regardless of what they went with, she still needed to fix her current situation. Anna will continue to focus and try to stabilize her life force with VITAMANCY before it crashes.
She'll also try to free herself from entanglement and the barrier so she can finally stand up and move around again. That'd be nice.
[2] You draw even more of your life force to pile on top of your heart-core like plaster. You dunno what that's gonna do but you doubt it's what you intended.
[4] You finally wrench yourself free of all that gunk.
It occurs to you that there's probably no further time to do anything BEFORE you experience the crash, but you can still potentially do something DURING it. This might be more helpful if you knew exactly what was going to happen, but such is layered failures regarding your own life essence.

You attempt to improve the peasants but discover they're already wearing well-made and color-coded attire, whereas you have no clothing to improve them with. You'll have to get some from... limeguy, of course he's the tailor. Why

Akari wondered why she was suddenly both a noble, and in a house she had zero idea about and little connection to. She had a better idea that the folks who fought with her were of possible importance to the letter she was given before her mentor's sudden disappearance, and decided that with the way things were flowing, it was best to work with them.
And then she was politely interrupted.

Name: Akari Elleison
Description: Akari is around five and a half feet tall, with the figure of a traveled, toned woman. She has light brown skin, and dark black hair, having chiseled features on her face, and a posture similar to scholars.
Primary Skill: Protection +5
Secondary Skills: Life & Fire/Light (Glow) +3
Precious Item: Heirloom Amulet - Basically an orb clasped by a strong chain, Akari uses this for both cosmetic purposes and in crafts and work--focusing light and optics. It is usable as a durable catalyst to Akari's personal arts.
Backstory: Drawn to a particular village due to summons by an old friend, Akari was surprised, to say the least, to see the descriptions of devastation being not just apt, but accurate and as horrible as the state of the letter that detailed the situation. [/spoiler
[5] You mend the wounds of both Archimedes and Erin, though not before the other person does. They weren't polite enough to wait for you.
In particular, this influx of life energy keeps Archimedes from suffering another grisly maiming at the hands of his own skeleton trying to rip free.
You think about trying to protect people, but there are no threats to protect them from (beyond each other) so it'd be wasted.

Archimedes uses his Medicine passion(all of it that he has) to heal himself(or assist anyone who tries to heal him).
Once that's done, he gathers whatever reagents he can from the Abomination.
[4] You painstakingly piece all of your bones back together, make sure they fit perfectly, and even figure out how to let light movements aid their recovery rather than shake them loose. You'll need to avoid strenuous activities and could really do with some medicinal herbs, but you think you've got your shattered bone thing somewhat figured out!
[5] You gather up some sludge that you assume is from that returnamancy curse, along with... actually... you're not entirely sure what you want off the corpse. You don't have any handy tools for harvesting either.

Sort of healed somewhat!
3 Medicine Passion spent: Medicine increases from +3 to +4!
+1 Butcher PassionFirst of all, summon Deep Ones in front of the villagers and have the summoned help me build a chapel for the worship of the Idol of Father Dagon.
Then, between the villagers, attempt to recruit the youngest ones and teach them eldritch knowledge and the power of Dagon Magic inside the chapel.
[6] You summon
something out of your own flesh. Summoning can't occur out of nothing, you see; that's a common misconception. It needs an existing material or energy to shape itself, usually dirt, sometimes air if the summon is unusually light or small. It's more powerful with more synergy, though, which is one reason earth elementals make such popular minions.
Anyway, the servants of Dagon writhe out of your flesh. That's the material you accidentally summon them out of, partially due to their... opinions on the matter. So now you're screaming as unshaped THINGS claw out of your very essence, which makes it hard to tell them to build you a chapel. Or find villagers to induct. Would it make it easier or harder to teach them about Dagon? You're not sure.
Oh, and a doomcrow swoops in cawing hungrily for your vital essence. Take a number, buddy! Hahahaha, that's a good one!

Attempt to get Auntie Adams out of under abomination's corpse with their help, if it's a separate action? If it is not, meet would be attack by life-draining crow on me or my peasants with swordy vengeance. And no surprise attacks, it shouldn't work on me. 
If there are none and Auntie is still stuck, try again (ain't no rule 
).
After all things done, try to get some tea and rest, if reasonable (Probably not as an actual action. ).
repeating of dire mistakes
Try. 
[1] One of the villagers accuses you of undemocratically attempting to seize control over labor and associated wealth and political influence. You're not entirely sure what that means, other than that he threw a tankard at you.
[2] You try to unearth Auntie on your won, but your feeble arms aren't up to the task. You just get oozing ichor on them. Ew.
It occurs to you that your ring is not precise enough to tell whether the doomcrow is swooping at this very moment. It's more of a glow-when-orcs-are-near affair, which as mentioned means it's pretty much constantly warning you of nearby danger.

Jeff gathers a small expeditionary force of maybe around 10-12 able bodied villagers, has them gather enough food for a day or two of foot travel, then sets off to the bottom of the plateau. When there, they will search for resources in the immediate vicinity of Sundrop. Any other mages that desire to join may do so.
In his free time, he fiddles with his icy shard.
[3] You gather up half the village's population and most of their food, then set out to find resources. The populace is understandably skeptical that you're not plunging the whole village into starvation, especially now that they have double the mouths to feed, but it's too late to back out now. Also you jokingly told them if worst came to worst they could just eat you, which seemed to resonate with them.
[1] They are immediately set upon by ravenous jackals. Your reputation isn't looking great at this point.

BB commands the dort fort golort to help dig for Auntie Adams
"This is all the contribution I need to give and it won't go evil and attack you guys I'm sure bye,"
She goes out looking for any reclaimable stones and rubbles to make her actual castle.
[6] Your dort fort golort rises with a thunderous moan, shambling all the way over to the abomination.
[5] Despite it's awkward and excessive motions, it peels the corpse up enough to pluck Auntie from her unsightly nook.
[6] You find a nice boulder well outside of town, but quickly realize you can't carry it back.

Explore the wildlife of the surrounding region.
Edit - unless I’m still trapped, in which case, keep keeping myself alive
[1] You notice jackals eating peasants so you go over and are immediately set upon by jackals. Overall your judgement's been a little suspect so far.
[6] That's okay though, because you immediately begin beating the jackals around you to death with some jackal-flails made out of flailing jackals. You are now the alpha jackal queen. Your judgement is impeccable.

Now Jackal Queen
With the party over and everyone being eaten by jackals, the lime man decides it's time to formalize your schedule. Specifically, you can't all run around at once; that'd be anarchy! Some of you will have to snooze in the village while the rest run around having fun. Sad, but necessary.
The lime man explains that by default, each House will take turns sallying forth and remaining behind. He points out that there's nothing stopping you from taking a different approach, but that the groups must remain small or there's little point. He's also willing to manage more complex systems, if so desired.
Those venturing out will continue to operate as normal until returning, save that they'll consume 1 Food per turn. If they have no food, they'll begin to starve. Food generally comes from peasants growing or harvesting it.
Those remaining behind will be limited to one action per turn. This may be a "normal" action, like maiming yourself and others with arcane power, or a more basic action like harvesting resources or crafting plates. Those in town also require 1 Food per turn.
With that in mind, the lime man also points out that the village doesn't have a fully developed economic system yet, so the question of how the nobility is going to acquire food and such is up in the air. Those who remain behind are likely going to have to hash this out with the various inhabitants of town.
The current makeup of the town is as follows:
-10 Farmers, +2 Food each (+1 Skill, +1 Irrigated Fields)
-5 Silk Gatherers, +1 Amber Silk each (+1 Skill)
-2 Couriers
-1 Blacksmith, 3 Metal->3 Tools (+3 Skill)
-1 General Shop Owner
-1 Inkeeper/Brewer
-1 Tailor
The lime man (also known as the tailor) points out that all the farmers are currently being torn apart by ravening jackals, which may affect this calculation somewhat. The village gets caravans sometimes to trade for their precious amber silk- a local but highly sought-after oddity- which allows them to buy more food and other valuables.
With that out of the way, current available missions are as follows:
Save the VillagersSomeone (*cough* Elen *cough*) led unarmed villagers into a pack of wild jackals, and they're now being eaten. Stop them from being eaten.
Known Dangers: Lots of jackals, your allies
Reward: Elen not (necessarily) enshrined as a local reviled villain, House Best not (as) disgraced, village probably doesn't starve as quickly from food producers being eaten in a fit of irony, possible villager gratitude
Resource SurveyIt's well known that the areas south of the village have some oddly colored rocks. Maybe there's something valuable there?
Known Dangers: None, but how safe could it be?
Reward: Area confirmed or denied as a valid resource gathering spot
There's Cloth In Them Hills!The village of Sundrop is surrounded by trees bearing silkworms. A particular cluster is booming to the northwest; harvesting it would be dangerous, but provide bonus yields over the trees near the village.
Known Dangers: Blooms are well associated with deranged mutants. No one's sure why.
Reward: More amber silk per turn than you could harvest here
Someone asks if it's really wise to harvest cloth while half the town's being eaten. The lime man shrugs and says that's your department, not his.

Black Robe
Arc-Enchanted Iron Sword: Basic but reliable. Enchanted to release arcs of magical force when swung.
Bronze Ring: Enchanted to warn its wearer of danger. A bit... constant when surrounded by your fellows, unfortuntely.
Silver Skull: This grape-sized statue looks like a human skull forged from silver. You get a sense of vertigo looking at it too long, but otherwise can't figure out its properties.

Heirloom Amulet: Translucent orb on a chain, handy for refracting and focusing light.
