Nidra floats over to the Totem near the town walls. It's not really doing anything, as far as she can tell, but it's awfully suspicious nonetheless. Better safe than sorry. She yanks the totem out of the ground with psychic force and then starts bashing it against the nearby gate until one of the two give.

Toast moves to K8, attacks Yume, activates Chaotic Contingency, then retreats to M10.

Toast gets new spells (not that she can cast them), and the skelebois act.

Tsar'ina, finding herself surrounded, decides to use that weird "public inventory" thing she found earlier. She's been trying to avoid it, not wanting to be dependent on something that might not be there, and generally just not understanding it. The last time she pulled something out of there, there was no power to the thing, and it made her look stupid in front of Marron! She's the Summa! She should be representing her species as... Not stupid!

Seeing the two Breakers and Raider though, she decided to pull out something random and go for it. After some looking around, she pulls out a Shock Therapist, Legend of Zelda style! After a bit of fanfare, she looks at the weird machine, not exactly knowing what it was... Maybe it could help kill these things somehow? She fiddled with the machine, before accidentally flipping a switch.

A large crackle of electricity come from the Shock Therapist, scaring the absolute heavens out of her! The Shock Therapist is applied to the allied Breaker next to her before she accidentally drops the darn thing.

"HOLY MOLY WHAT THE GORILLA"

Once the Shock Therapist finishes doing its thing, Tsar'ina stares at it for a bit before snatching it up, and chucking it back into the "public inventory". She won't be reaching in there for a good while...

Summa sighs, and equips the Silver Maria. She observes the Breakers and the Raider, a bit perplexed at their lack of reaction to what just happened. Of course, it won't matter in the end, because she's smashing them up for just being around to witness it! Of course, the Yume was her main target, but that can wait. The Summa peers over the Iti in front of her, seeing the Yume seemingly running away from her!

"Ha! What a coward! A... A rather fast coward.

"..."

That'll be a problem to deal with later. First, these purple, dreamy idiots! Summa dashes over to E10, the Silver Maria dragging itself on the ground. Using her momentum, she crashes into the Breaker, bringing her sword down on top of it!

"Heh, do you call this a fight? Wait, you can't speak..."

Ziah seems fairly concerned as Ette explains her story. Once she finishes, calling it "not very interesting", he can't help but smirk slightly, shaking his head with a small sigh.

Ziah: No? Seems really interesting to me.
Ziah: You seem really close with your sister, too.
Ziah: It's cute.

Ziah pauses as he tries to collect his thoughts.

Ziah: I met her earlier, she's really nice.
Ziah: Meeting new people is always fun, so.

He gives Ette a small smile as he waits for a response.

-=+=-

Leaf grins as Nia compliments her hair, before blushing softly as she calls her cute.

Leaf: Oh, thank you~

Leaf pauses for a moment, before nodding.

Leaf: Yeah! Not quite a dryad, but... well, basically a dryad.
Leaf: I'm a beastmaster back on my world~

There's a sense of pride on Leaf's face as Nia tells her that she was watching her ride the splinter spitter.

Leaf: Oh, you'd... like to try and ride one?

Leaf thinks to herself for a moment, before giving an eager nod.

Leaf: Sure! That sounds like fun!
Leaf: We'd have to go find another one, but I'd be happy to~

-=+=-
Meanwhile, also Leaf moves to J7 and tames SSpitter1, then mounting it. It moves to L10 and uses a free corrosive mix. Leaf places Sap Bombs on M11, J11, K14 and J14.

Wyvern darts over to K14, and delivers a rising swipe to the SplinterSpitter3, a Fire El-ite Knife materializing in his hand as he brings it back down, piercing the creature's torso to finish it off. He then retreats to J15, his eyes locked into the Gotou in a threatening deathglare, either challenging it, or revealing his intentions in the coming moments.

Ah! Update! I spent too much time working on something else... Uh... Er... Quick action...

I'm sorry spooders.

Er...

Burn 10 HP to activate Slashy Plush so Thina can actually hit something. Then burn another 8 HP to cast Unravel with +4 damage. Target the SSpiderGuard1 with the genetic un-raveling, target Crya with the genetic re-raveling.

Keiko jumps to H6 alongside Thina and casts First Aid on her, placing Mana Wells on H6 and G6.

<ROUND ONE-HUNDRED SIXTY-TWO>

Echoss does more stuff™. He chats with Omo about a tracker, and what she might need it for.

OMORIKA: Ah, the tracker.
OMORIKA: I'm studying a rather rare creature creature on Sussui as a basis for how I'd like to formulate my summon.
OMORIKA: A Wood Fae, to be specific. Biologists argue as to whether the thing is able to make use of reason or if it's merely just a normal sentient creature, but they can all agree on one thing.
OMORIKA: They're annoying little... "gorillas", as Mari might say, and I may or may have misplaced my first one.

OMORIKA: ...I fear I may be picking up on her vulgar tone a little.
OMORIKA: Perhaps I should've hired a more conventional scientist, but she's... effective.

Then, back in Zone 2, Echoss's mini-golem goes and begins harvesting some wall tiles that the Dark Carnival left behind. This yields 14 Titanium Ingots. He also opts to assist the worker by giving him a crowbar using 2 Iron Ingots.

MECHANIC: Oh, cool.
MECHANIC: Thanks.

Thanks to the removal of the walls and his new industrial strength crowbar, he manages to pry three tiles loose, stacking them for someone to loot later. Elsewhere in the world, he sends out another golem to go and mine more of a room out, obtaining 32 Cobblestone in the process. The digging process is then promptly interrupted by... something disgusting and fleshy. It appears to be a Netwyrm neck, back from when the house was invaded. He also makes a Throwing Rock with 3 Cobblestone and 1 Clay. Gotta make them aerodynamic, or something?

Then, he harvestplants the farm (haven't said that in awhile), taking 3 Cinderfruit, 4 Silkweed, 4 Tornadopetals, 3 Lumipods, 4 Deathcaps, and 22 Uniform Logs. He then plants 1 Cinderfruit, 4 Silkweed, 1 Tornadopetal, 9 Wheat Seeds, and 9 Soulblossoms. He also scans the Woolly Mollusks... but not the large spooky mollusk, as that may not ever get a statblock and haven't you already done enough today?

>Codex Updated!

Pionobot also clarifies how his arm works with Mari. She nods, still not really getting it but pretending that she does.

MARI: Okay. Cool.

With not much else to say, she opts to steer the discussion in a direction that she finds a deal more interesting.

MARI: So... why are you here, anyway?
MARI: And how'd something like you get their gorilla kicked hard enough to lose a limb?

---

Letsid attempts to engage in combat with a cave full of Iti. No. That sort of combat would basically be entirely worthless. The game opts to stop Letsid from killing herself, and attempts to guide her in the direction of a normal encounter, like what is going on in the Battles tab. Or maybe to heal herself since she's barely holding together. Either works.

---

The Man opts to visit the area just south of the Town Armory. There, he finally gets to witness the sheer awe and scope of the Church of Helix. Despite its beauty, there's a sense of dread as he approaches it. It's probably the totems outside of it. Spooky buggers, those are.

Oh, also: he +1's his MOV. Five more skillpoints to go!

---

Maria calls for a responsible adult person! Chaos opts to take the job, and heads upstairs with Maria. He investigates the window.

CHAOS: maria
CHAOS: [t]his is a window
CHAOS: you [c]an jus[t] like
CHAOS: open i[t]

Chaos pulls away the windowlatch, and pushes on the window, sending it open. Miraculously, nothing janky happens, and nothing is upset or slain due to the window opening. At least, in this universe. In some other universe, Chaos has probably caused thousands of deaths due to illegal window opening.

CHAOS: you [c]an also [c]lose [t]hem
CHAOS: like [t]his

Chaos closes the window like a normal person. This also maybe causes mass extinctions in another universe, somehow. The window-dwelling race of Universe 946369 never stood a chance.

CHAOS: or you [c]an jus[t]
CHAOS: break i[t]

Chaos breaks the window by headbutting it. Again, nothing too interesting happens, besides the window integrating with Chaos's head.

CHAOS: flawless vi[c][t]ory
CHAOS: [c]haos one, windows zero

...While Maria's probably jumping out a window to pet fluffy things, Venia continues to talk about herself with Nia. The cyanette seems to approve of the idea of potentially going on adventures.

NIA: Adventuring sounds like fun!
NIA: It's also like, the ideal job for a wizard, right?
NIA: A wizard and her darling knight~

The two then continue on about Maria and the emperor.

NIA: Hey, question.
NIA: I know that this is probably- nah, is a godawful idea, but why don't you just like, use your powers or your alternate form or something to turn the Emperor guy into space spaghetti?
NIA: Pretty sure that even though he's the emperor, he's probably mortal. Probably.
NIA: he's mortal right

Soon, the conversation goes back to the original question at hand- music taste! Nia quietly celebrates when Venia notes she likes rock.

NIA: Ooh, nice!
NIA: That means I can actually play the stuff I like around you!

NIA: Also, I actually haven't really been one for synthwave, actually...
NIA: Or rather, I haven't really heard much. Any recommendations?
NIA: ...Is it like vaporwave?

Then, Venia asks the question: what does Nia think of her powers? She doesn't pay much thought to the implications of it all.

NIA: I think they're cool. Not as cool as my powers because ice puns, but they're still nice.
NIA: I mean, I guess what you can do might be scary, but... you're not gonna use them on like, guys who don't deserve it!
NIA: It's like... Superman, I guess? He can do all of this stupid strong stuff and could probably 1v1 Earth itself, but he uses his powers for good so humanity isn't scared of him.
NIA: Use your stuff for good, and I think everyone else will see it as good, too!

NIA: Just... maybe don't read my mind and stuff.
NIA: I'm not keen on the idea of you poking around in my head 24/7, trying to see whatever lewd gorilla I'm thinking of.
NIA: ...Even if it'd be funny.

Nia ponders her next question for a moment.

NIA: Uh, hm...
NIA: Ooh, important question!
NIA: Where should... we have our first date?
NIA: It has to be somewhere cool! Like, the top of Scale Yggdrasil, or the top of the Church of Helix... somewhere breathtaking!
NIA: We could have a picnic, chat more, play games, make out- y'know, normal couple things.
NIA: Do I have my priorities straight? Hell no! And hell yes!

While Venia's busy considering this life-or-death question, she also goes out with Nia on a quick harvesting trip. The two collect 4 Blockmelon, 24 Frostleaves, and 14 Megabark (with Nia trying her best to contribute to the tackle).

---

Auth agrees on a time for a date meeting with Nana: lunchtime! She beams towards him, happy with the arrangement.

NANA: O-Oh, good!
NANA: I-I'll see you then?
NANA: I mean, I-I'll see you before then since we're working together, b-but I'll also see you there!

nailed it

---

Nidra commits totemcide, grabbing the Totem at The Town Walls, and slamming it against the gate Ette is working to open. This shocks the puppet, who lets go of the crank. This promptly mulches the totem via application of heavy wooden gate.

ETTE: (A-Ah! That was spooky!)
ETTE: (I wonder what those totems are for?)
ETTE: (They're all creepy and stuff...)

ETTE: (...Also, could you help me with the gate?)
ETTE: (I don't have thumbs. Life is hard.)

Regardless of her response, Ette returns to opening the gate. At the same time, Nidra feels a wave of dread wash over her.

---

Last minute addition: Ziah and Leaf! The former continues speaking with Ette, who'd probably be blushing if she was physically capable of doing so.

ETTE: (We're really close!)
ETTE: (We're always watching out for each other, because that's what we gotta do!)

He then mentions that meeting people is fun. Ette proposes something.

ETTE: (You should meet everyone, then!)
ETTE: (There's Omo who's really nice, and there's Toast who's really nice and also likes sis, and lots of other nice people!)
ETTE: (And if you wanna meet lots of cool people, you could join magic club!)
ETTE: (It's this thingy Toast does, where people show off their magic, and you can learn lots and lots!)
ETTE: (I think we're doing another meeting... soon? I dunno.)
ETTE: (You should join!)

Ette seems excited at the prospect of him joining. Even though she doesn't know if he has magic or not. Is it even a requirement to join the club? Who knows? Elsewhere, the dryad tells Nia that yes- she can go and ride a spider.

NIA: Awesome!
NIA: Anything I should know about riding one?
NIA: I wanna like, ride it around, show it off to Venia, spook Chloe with it- y'know, fun things.
NIA: I'd assume riding a spider is far different than like, riding a horse.
NIA: Not that I've ever been on a horse.
NIA: I should ride a horse, too. Horses are pretty neat.

Nia considers changing classes to Magic Knight. Maybe she could pick up Venia on her horse. Maybe she could be the horse. Except she's certainly not strong enough for that.

NIA: So...
NIA: Where can we find one?

Maybe the two will have an adventure. It might be fun.

<THE NEXUS, ROUND SEVEN>
Yume's below 20% of their HP, so if you're going to end it, now's the perfect time! Purging's up too, so you'll get the benefits of that as well! There really shouldn't be much in the way of victory, so do as you see fit.

<SPIDER'S ROOST, ROUND SIX>
That's... a lot of foes! Fortunately, you should be clear to leave the area once the rest of the Migi infestation is dealt with, and once the Rose Cult goes down! In addition, the Gossamother has woken up just to make your lives a bit worse... but odds are, she won't move in on you. Just be careful, alright?

OOC note: Echoss is still noted as being in the dueling arena. He is not presently there, though he likely could be if he wanted.


Echoss chuckles. "Perhaps you are, but it's nice to be able to cut loose some so I will not hold it against you. There are worse habits one could possibly acquire." Echoss thinks for a moment. "What information could you give me about these Fae? The best way for me to assemble a replacement for your tracker in a time efficient manner would involve tailoring it to their habits and any unique energy signatures they might have."

With Mari, Pionobot sighs. "I don't know why I'm here, actually. My memories before waking up on Sussui are very spotty... though I suppose they aren't great after either. Most notably I'm missing several months of leadup between my latest pre-Sussui memory and when I woke up. I just have no clue."
Piono looks kind of embaressed when Mari asks about what happened to him. "I uh... I didn't. I got jumped by a handful of seekers and accidentally set off one of my internal weapons in response. One of the ones the Thymefield doesn't like. So my arm exploded."


Battle Action:
Echoss gets annoyed with having his health dropped and doesn't actually lie down or explode into butterflies like he normally would. His 'corpse' remains rigidly upright in spiteful defiance of the rotting widow until Chara gives him the Phoenix Up and he does the Unflavored action listed below.

Unflavored:
Echoss doesn't do anything on account of being dead until Chara smacks him with a phoenix up. Echoss stands back up and then moves to K10. He then turns around and loads a Fluxblade Scroll into his gun, and opens fire on the Maw.
His Chibi Nia moves to G7 and uses one of the player crafted inventory Holy Dews on Thina.


Overworld actions:
At Chloe's delivery service, she's asked with her second slot that refreshed this round to perhaps go find us some samples? Echoss sends a couple of butterflies with her in case she needs someone to cover a quick escape or something.

In the library: "It is no trouble at all, this thing shouldn't have been left up so long anyways." Echoss's mini golems continue their work, systematically pulling down the wall tiles and filing them into the inventory.

Back in the house, three more minigolems file into the basement and pull out three uniform logs piled together to make a makeshift battering ram. They charge straight forward with it and crush the neck. The battering ram, not yet finished, is promptly shoved down the Netwyrm head's throat, killing whatever it is and finishing removing it from the golems' attempts to clear out the room.

My third and final overworld action is spend in the room that had the Neckwyrm net. ...that doesn't seem right. Oh well, another of the minigolems kamikazes into the walls of the room and hopefully finishes clearing out the rock.


Personal note for ongoing things to do:
Make new and interesting consumables
Upgrade the house
Upgrade the Airship
Help clear the Everground.
Also make sure to keep the farm tended.
(upgrading pretty flowers and auth's socks every so often)

The ABreaker moves to F4, and stabs Yume.

Adrian goes Pink Like Petals, moves to H6, and then drops a huge basic attack on Yume's face.

How to heal tho...
The rubyweave cloak seems to not heal outside combat and everything else is useless too.
Letsid considers possibilities and searches for a place to sleep.
Sleep always makes everything better.

Nidra casually takes one of the splinters of the broken totem and stabs it into the eye. She turns to Ette.

"Happy to help. Mind moving back?"

After Ette does so, Nidra starts spinning the crank with psychic force at a rather excessive speed.

Action: ...

Kinda hard to make an action right now...

RP Post: Wilson:

Wilson watches Maria wander off and sighs in relief.

"Ah... Never been very good with kids. ... Survived this time."

He shakes himself off, still... not happy about the whole spider thing. ... There seem to be quite a lot of spiders in Thymium. Still, he seems a little amused by Ette's questions.

"I'm not technically talking, but eh. Based on where I've been, talking animals aren't particularly common, but..."

He glances over to the left at the title Talist decided to give himself on this forum. Hm.

"For *some* reason most of said talking animals are all rather interconnected. I know that another 'talking animal' arrived when I did. Very... particular world we live in."

He listens intently to the description of The Sphere. Yep. That would probably be it. He didn't actually know why he was here, but that seemed like a likely candidate.

"That would... be it. Which reminds me... I probably need to be doing something, something to help out. ... Hm..."

Putting a paw to his forehead, he thinks for a while, trying to come up with something to do. When Ette speaks again, it seems to shake him out of his musings.

"Oh, um, no. I don't think I've met most people here, though I'm not the greatest at remembering faces or names."

Fun fact: There are some physiology studies that suggest that Wilson would have a much better time remembering faces if everyone else was a fox. With evil baby based studies, researchers have found that human infants start with a surprisingly good ability to differentiate between monkey faces (better than adults, anyway), but this ability gets lost as they grow up and train on human faces. https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/345-1.174675

He goes back to thinking for a moment, before looking up.

"... Actually... I don't suppose you have any chemicals around here? There's... something I'm thinking of."

Unfortunately, this place had nerfed some of his more potent abilities, like individually dissecting molecular bonds, but he still had some ideas.

Crafting(?) Post: Wilson

So... I don't really know what I'm supposed to do for crafting. I guess... tell me if this looks good.

After Ette (presumably) shows Wilson to whatever hammerspace the inventory is kept in, Wilson nods, mostly to himself.

"I started as an alchemist. Haven't done it much recently... but I can make something of this. ... What do I need..."

The first thing he needed was some kind of acid. Surprisingly, there don't seem to be any chemical acids in the inventory, but I was planning on making this anyway. Time to make some discount battery acid. Don't try this at home kids. Wilson is a certified fictional character.

Wilson walks up to a bar of gold and raps his claws on it, hearing the metallic clacking sound.

"Not often you need the fake stuff instead of the real one..."

And with that, he sets out to find iron pyrite, aka: fool's gold. We also don't have any coal, which makes this more difficult. Wilson grabs the closest thing to a pickaxe the inventory seems to have, the Ashen Reap. Then, he makes his way through the Winding Tunnel, shuddering at the (maybe) dead spider in the side room. Carefully, he inspects the walls and stalagmites. Sure, fantasy plasteel is nice, but what about some good ol' quartz? He looks for quartz, coal, or just sedimentary / metamorphic rock, and hopefully finds some. When he does, he holds out a paw, sparking electricity between his claws.

"Good to know this trick still works. Else I'd barely be able to hold anything."

Levitating the pickax with electromagnetism, he unceremoniously bashes its head into the wall, mining out the relevant material. Waving a paw over the rubble, he draws out anything magnetic, looking for iron pyrite. He potentially repeats this a few times until he has a decent amount of iron pyrite and puts anything else vaguely useful into the inventory.

Dragging said iron pyrite behind him, he grabs a squall cluster, some wood to burn, some bottles, some wires, and one of those buckets of seawater, which is an oddly specific thing to have come in handy. He takes all this down into the basement lab and says a quick prayer to nobody in particular that he won't blow himself up while trying to do this.

Starting up a fire, he puts some wood into a kiln to burn it into charcoal, which will be useful later. In order to make a set up to trap gas, he connects a boiling flask to a long glass tube with a bottle at the end, then adds the uses the squall crystal as a fan. Putting this over the fire, he bakes the iron pyrite in it, causing it to release sulfur dioxide, which he siphons into some bottles.

That done, Wilson sticks two wires into the bucket of salt water, sets up the squall cluster again like a fan over one of the wires, and takes the ends of the wires, one in each paw. With a deep breath and a *very* controlled use of foxfire powers, he electrocutes the sea water, producing chlorine gas, which then gets trapped in another bottle.

Getting this far, Wilson sighs. It had been a long time since he had done something like this, as it was usually much easier to rely on Descendant or Narrative powers to streamline this. Hopefully this could be used to *not* kill someone, provided it didn't explode or burn him first. He just hoped the Charians around here had vaguely similar biology to him. Or that it wouldn't really matter. Putting his head down, he gets back to work.

With both chlorine gas and sulfur dioxide, he mixes them both together with crushed charcoal to produce a liquid, sulfuryl chloride. With some very careful distillation and perhaps repeating this process, he concentrates this until he has a bottle of it. Pouring this into a beaker that will let him trap both liquids and gasses, he uses a pipette and a buret to *very* carefully and *very* slowly add water to the mixture. If all goes well, this will make two things, a liquid and a gas. The gas is hydrogen chloride, and not what he needs. Still, he separates it from the liquid as maybe one day he'll need to make an acidic mist, because that sounded... fun? The liquid, though, is discount battery acid itself, sulfuric acid.

Holding up the bottle, Wilson gently swirls it, satisfied for now. This isn't the end product, but I'm getting pretty tired, and want to continue it in a future turn, or just edit this one.

EDIT - Let's keep going, spending way too much effort to make something that's ultimately pretty mundane.

Wilson sets down the bottle of sulfuric acid. He wasn't trying to make a poison or acid, but... strangely, sulfuric acid was *really* useful in chemistry. The next step was to acquire some ethanol, and luckily, he smelled something acrid nearby that could do just the trick. Walking up to the southern keg in the basement, he sniffed at it, and immediately recoiled from the scent.

"That's... ugh, that's alcohol alright."

Possibly being the first person to open this keg, he drains some of the wine into the boiling beaker. Then he sets this atop the stovetop and slowly increases the heat. Ethanol has a lower boiling point than water, so it will boil first and thus be extracted from the wine. Once he has a bottle of liquid ethanol, he mixes that with the sulfuric acid and then slowly heats and distills the mixture. The resulting liquid is one of the goals, diethyl ether, otherwise known as just ether. This can be used either to restore a pokemon's power points, or more relevant to now, as an anesthetic.

Now, I did want to also make another anesthetic, laughing gas, but that requires ammonia, which we don't seem to have. We don't have any deer hooves/antlers, or volcanic ash, each of which could be good for that.

Aww, what's that, arachnophobes?

Crya runs to M10 and uses Ice Stalagmites on Iti Spider 10 before retreating to K9.

Mariaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Maria seems almost entranced by how Chaos opens and closes the windows. "Oh, so these are dumb windows. All the windows I've ever seen are smart windows... I can't reach those thingies!" Maria exclaims.

It might just make Chaos headbutting the glass pane seconds thereafter somewhat less ridiculous. Maria just blinks, then giggles at Chaos. "... Thank you, mister Chaos!" She says, stepping outside of the window and onto the roof. At this point, she is basically hypnotized by the Spiralfloof as she runs towards it, arms wide, and attempts to give the Spiralfloof a big fat hug.

"Fluffyyyyyyyyy~"

---

Niaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"The Emperor is mortal, but he... Hrm, I guess this is difficult to explain, but simplest put, he kind of has the same loose 'type' of powers. Like how all the X-Men have weird abilities but they're all 'Mutants.' Of those people, the Emperor is... Like. Basically he's top-tier. And, uh, getting stronger, while I'm at it. I'd be way more, like, uh. I'd be way more confident in such a matchup if I actually knew if I could make him space sphagetti, or what else I'd be doing in the process." Venia says. "... We can work that out."

Then... Date. That wonderful word. Oh, oh god. Venia was elated-

-and then Venia was a blob of gray blur stuff, which swiftly exploded around her, leaving her an exhausted heap on the floor.

"... I'm... I'm OK, for now... I... I think... Scale... Yggdrasil... Is... Nice... I... I really need to find that cure... Damn. I don't want all my blur goo splashing out over you... That'd ruin the mood...."

"Uh, OK, so this is gonna sound weird, but the first big step in figuring this whole 'cancer cure' thing out is simple. Uh, hit me. With, like a water spell. My gear allows me to heal, like, really mild wounds via water, and that's important data which I'm registering. Err, uh, yeah. Can you do that real quick?"

---

Hat continues to build an airship, and also other crafting stuff

---

EVERGROUND?!... Not yet. Give it a round. More Zone 3 stuff here instead.

Venia's maid picks up the 'Exhibition?' and tactically exits the Projection Chamber, returning to the land of normal places. She then moves to Sequoia's Lake and immediately targets the eastern grove of Silverwood in the area, pulling out... A plate. Seriously. Plates aren't supposed to be that sharp. Then again, maids aren't supposed to be made entirely of precious metals that still bend like a body instead of like metal, and silently at that.

The maid roughly copies what Venia did before to the Megabark tree; it traces a finger around the trunk, though this time, perhaps thinking a bit brighter, the circle it draws is at a slant, leaving one side larger than the other. The maid repeats this until all the trees are marked, and then gives each tree trunk a kick from where the drawn circle is highest. One-by-one, the Silverwood trees fall, and are promptly harvested for the inventory.

Only a little more to go...

---

This must be a record for stuff done this round, also Gray Reverie

Venia... Just kind of normally, if quietly, approaches the Gray Reverie in front of the Church of Helix and shows them the Gray Card. Hopefully it has a result.

---

Battle: Spider's Roost

Venia waits on Wyvern and Fran, then casts Nanostorm on I16, hitting the Maw, both Chosen and Chara. Hopefully. "Be undone!" She then activates CALL for some exploitation from that Empowered. As she's going after Crya, there's a fair chance she's killed things already, so she has a list of priorities here, only moving down the list if the entity in question is downed/dead: The Migi, Gotou2, Iti Spider 10, Chosen2, Chosen1, Iti Spider 9, and finally Iti Spitter2. Yep, that's a lot of potential targets.

Her spider will move after her actions to L12 and target one of the following, in order of priority: Migi, Gotou2, Gotou1, Iti Spider10. If all of these suckers are dead, it will then use Web Blob on, in order of priority: Chosen2, Chosen1, Iti Spider9 and Iti Spitter2. Again, lots of targets-mostly just about who's alive or dead by the time Venia's actions whirl around.

Candy:

Chara mutters a swift "Thank you!" and runs out of the room, starting to prance around the house and explore it in its entirety. You have the curious feeling that shenanigans will ensue very, very, very soon.

Meat:

The Chara Splinter walks over to Echoss' downed body, kneels down...

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me-"

and is promptly smacked in the back of the head by an invisible force. Looks like there is a force out there that does not like sarcastic little gorillas.

Getting the message rather quickly, he instead uses Phoenix Up on Echoss, before turning around and gathering up his remaining energy for a Fluxblade attack on the Maw.

In case the Rotting Widow is dead, he moves after Wyvern onto her carcass, shoving it awkwardly to his side with his foot and waiting for Venia to do some Cool Magick™.

---A bit of time away from battle---



---HEY HEY HEY WE'RE BACK IN DA MINES BOIS---

MU notes that the vine was under extreme tension from the bucket. That won't do at all. So, in the absence of rope in hte inventory, she recalls the amount of vine she used for the rope from memory, and proceeds to make some sturdy chains to help out with the stuff. She makes about 9 tiles of chain from 9 Titanium Ingots, making sure the links were all made well and interlocked with one another. She also checks to make sure that it didn't become a string of tiny elf boys on creation.

She then very slowly and carefully climbs up, making sure not to go up too quickly, and sticks the chain where the vine begins. She then slides back down, and attaches the chain to the bucket she just made. This distributes the load between the vine and the chain, effectively reinforcing both. Then, assuming the reinforced ropes allow for it, she puts as many of her belongings into the basket as she can.

...This is likely the only time she'll be using a titanium chain, so don't worry about that too much.

---YAWN...---

With a loud yawn, Bow Kid wakes from her slumber on the couch, fully rested up. She's effectively late to breakfast, but who cares. She takes up some chocolate porridge, and eats it up exceptionally quickly. She then wanders the house aimlessly for a bit.

...Aaaand now Sophia's doing her infamous smugdance on the couch. She probably figures she might as well entertain herself while she's like this.

In Battle!

Auth waves to Marron.

uA: Hey, Marron! Please use Fluxblade on Yume, it'll make my next move more effective!
uA: I think I can kill Yume in one hit after that, though I'd appreciate if you blasted Yume with the Elemental Blaster or something, just to make sure.

Ideally, Marron would follow his request. Auth moves to G11. From there, he takes a deep breath, and focuses his attention on Yume. It's time to finish this fight.

uA: Yume! Prepare yourself!

Auth leans backwards, and points at Yume, who is probably in a position to get gibbed by Auth after the brief assault this turn. Bright, white energy is focused at his fingertip, and then he launches his hand back like he has shot a gun. The energy remains in place to accumulate, however...

And Auth turns around. A faint purple aura manifests around him, and some people may catch a glimpse of what appears to be some sort of angel in black, wielding a large revolver. It shoots its gun, using the manifest energy as a bullet, piercing through Yume and putting a hole in the ground behind it. Black smoke rises from the trail between where Auth is and Yume.

uA: ...did we get 'em?

Leaf scans her currently mounted Splinter Spitter, before backing up to K9. Leaf gives a small nod, and the creature fires at Gotou1. If Gotou1 is already dead, they move to J8 and fire at Gotou2. And if Gotou2 is already dead, they fire at the Migi from J8 as well. After whichever action she takes, Leaf retreats to K8 and tames the Splinter Spider (8).

Wyvern acts first. He moves to I15 and slashes at the Chosen1, before firing an Elemental Fire Blast at Rotting Widow.

RP Pending, please hold.

==BATTLE==
Nezira acts first, Quick-Scans Yume for Weakpoint Analysis and Observer Eye application, then uses Nullpoint on her to make sure Glitch Damage does extra damage.
