I begin to try to look over the Cars we can get working again, and try to see if it might be possible to cannibalize them for parts to upgrade, or at least hook them up to, the Alchemiter. I am only checking for feasibility thus far, not actually taking anything apart yet.
"Hey guys, anyone have any ideas for suping up the Alchemiter into a motorvehicle?"

Double Action Post!

[1] Alright, Pope, let's hustle!
I look around for wheels and tires, and tell Pope to Go Fetch! some fuel. Fuel tends to have a really strong scent, so he's perfect for the job!

[2] I pat Pope on the head, sharing the healing friendship energy with Ned2. Then, I play fetch (normal fetch this time) with him, using the ball. Such fun!
Afterwards, I search for building materials. Bricks, concrete, sheets of metal, etc.

(x1)I render the Car BIG so we can all fit inside it comfortably
(Free)I equip the Chef’s Hat on TOP of my head
(x1)I use up 2 tomatoes and 1 of the Leviathan Meat to make a new batch of Stir-fry with the Chef's Hat helping and the Campfire +Frying Pan
(Free) I plant the tomato seeds from the tomatoes i used in the garden,i would also like to reserve a piece of paper for usage later

I ask if The Energizer Bunny can use Transfer Energy to heal me,Smirk and Nedben2

Alchemy: Glyphstel Sicktricker DONE!
Glyph Gauntlets && Gaming Controller (1/?)

With the newly complete Glyphstel Sicktricker (6/6), I bust out some SICK SHREDS as I follow the trail of dowels. I then ask someone to render the spork Giant so I can use it in alchemy.

As I study the crash site, I notice a host of objects from the Phernalia Registry spilled all across the ground. One of every Sburb construct that isn’t player created.

Healer's Headbreaker && Camo Suit = Medic’s Sneaksuit. (Level 4: 5 / 5) (DONE!)
Healer's Headbreaker && Gun = ??? (1/?)

Reading the description of the new Badge that showed up and how it increased sneakiness, I quickly equip it on my person for MAXIMUM SNEAK. Depending on if the Med's Sneak Suit have any Sneak attributes, I equip that too.

As for spending my time this turn, I look at the Leviathan 's shards and scour through the car straps to find metal plating... Better get around to upgrading the car if we want to cover the distance.

Please check my menu to see what me and my allies should be wielding/wearing rn. Its just easier that way, trust me.

[1] I perform a Grocery Run.

[2] I use Out of This World on a chunk of the Leviathan to make a leviathan cake.

If either or both of those were free actions, I search around for a motorcycle helmet.

So, Boss Underlings. I at the time of reading, you will have faced down one boss so far, the Leviathan. You got quite.. Lucky with the Leviathan, as it was a very high level boss. You “survivors” should be more careful, to be honest, the Leviathan came this close to killing you. You can’t actually see me, but I assure you, if I had hands, I would be doing the “this close” gesture. But, back on topic. Let’s discuss boss underlings. How about we start with when you encounter them, and what their powers will be like? Yes, that sounds nice.



Bosses will usually appear in one of two places: At a important spot, where you’re very likely to discover, quote unquote “MAD L00T”, or at certain distances from the Tower you wish to get to. Bosses can also be created by special events, like say, a badly thought-out alchemy containing living things, so be very careful. Now, Bosses come in many shapes and sizes, but SBURB seems to like to style them after mythological creatures of old, both obscure and well-known, as it does with the regular Underlings. The powers of bosses, which we’ll get to a bit, will often be styled around the powers of their inspiration (ex: the Acheri’s plague-spreading abilities) but this is more of a guideline, and not always followed. The same goes for the bosses being styled after mythological creatures; I forsee a few in your future that will not be like that.
As a note, while you also fight them at certain distances, the Fallen are separate from Bosses, and are not constructs of SBURB, but rather constructs of my… future self? Brother? Let’s just say constructs of my future self, which utilize the powers they would have wielded had SBURB remained untainted.



Now, what powers do bosses wield? Well, as mentioned, while their powers will often take inspiration from their mythological origins, these powers will always have a elemental focus. And I don’t mean the “water, earth, air, fire” elements that seem so common in your culture, I mean the elements engraved in the Source Code of Reality, which yes, include those four, but also include things like Pie, Distortion, Trains, Energy, and such, which aren’t elements in around 99.87% of human culture. Don’t worry, though, you’re unlikely to encounter a boss with power over Pie or Trains, as SBURB seems to lean towards more serious elements, but god/me/future me help you if you do come across a Train Boss.
Whenever you come across a boss, you’ll want to determine their element fast and figure out how to counter it? If it’s water, then there will likely be a flood, and you should get to high ground. If it’s Energy, make sure to refrain from using lasers, fire, and the such. Fire? Put on something to help with the heat. You get the idea.



And that pretty much wraps this chapter up. Hope this helps.

..that was a formality, I have future sight. I know it will help.

I proceed with searching the vicinity for anything that we could use to strengthen the Alchemiter defense structure. Some duct tape, some decorative tiles, whatever.

good dog. best friends.

After some befriending the Pope, the nedbens search for some dirt, sand, mud, or other loose ground material distinct enough from 'rocks' that it registers as a distinct item for alchemy purposes. If we happen to find any 'trash items' along the way, those will work too.

You check the nearby area, spotting a group of underlings heading your way!
The other you uses the telescope to peer the edge of this town/city, which is a far bit away. They can see more of the that spirograph code, like that that the Ogre Bone disintegrated in, floating in the air, like dust, forming a barrier around the town. Odd.

[Dog Emblem] Bark for Aid: III READY!

entity orders and also alchemies and also equipment up there^ yes, I change them often, so always check my menu please and thank you and sorry

[1] I point at the nearest flumph. Thumbs down. Badass. I then proceed to kick it into a lich just as they cast a spell, causing the spell to blow up in the lich's face. Badass.
I try and claim True Grit on this action as much as possible.

[2] I use Out Of This World to make a lich into a cake.

I summon the power of the Dog Emblem, and send it coursing through my lungs and throat.
I take in a single breath, and then let out a massive "BARK!"
Immediately, a silvery-blue, ethereal dog manifests, its essence rapidly coalescing into a canine form. My Bark for Aid was successful. The Spirit Doggo is here.
I'll call him Spectre.
"Hello, Spectre. Do you mind if I call you that? Yeah, there's some nasties we'd like your help with. Oh! But first, you have to meet our other doggy buddy! Pope! Come here!"
Pope bounds over, and he and Spectre immediately start rolling around on the ground, playing up a storm. Once they seem to tire out for a few seconds, I give them their jobs.
"Alright, Spectre, you go aggress the Beholder. See that ugly thing there? Yeah.
As for you, Pope, you have an important job. Listen carefully..."
After the briefing, Pope merrily races to one of the liches. It stops its march towards us in confusion, wondering why this fluffy ally of the enemy seems so eager to meet it.
Excited to impress the creature, he conjures up some Dancing Lights, forming four small orbs of faint radiance around himself, before combining them into a luminous mannequin figure between him and the lich. Finally, he disperses the construct into four spheres again, and has then circle around the pair before dissipating.
Once the light show is over, Pope momentarily departs and just as quickly returns with the Purple Moons! He tries to set up a dice game with the lich. He's not particularly successful, for several very foreseeable reasons, but he still looks adorable and oh, so friendly!
So then, lich, what do you say? Won't you be Pope's friend?

(Actions)I use Spray and Pray on 2 Liches and attack another Lich with my Skaia Sticks,Invoking the Aspect of Breath to bring myself near to it near-instantaneously and then the Aspect of Doom to really bring the Pain to the Sticks being stuck into their Eyes and firing Doom Lasers into them

(Bonus)I squint at Ender through my Specs to heal him up and i use my Levitating Umbrella to jump out of the Enemies' Reach

I see the annoying Beholder, and decide to do something simple. I rush over at it, and hit it Right Where It Hurts! Specifically, my Six Sided Slashers stabs into its eye, before slashing across it.

Okay, so. I've realized that some of the current abilities given out are.. Kinda unbalanced. So, it's nerf time!

- Paradox's Rewrite has been heavily nerfed. Instead of any word, he now has three words he can choose from to add.
- Bleeding has been rebalanced to instead be applied in stacks, and doesn't deal % damage anymore.
- Fuffy's AI Override doesn't work on Elites anymore.
- Out of this World now only instagibs if the target is on low HP. Otherwise, it deals heavy damage and still makes the cake.
- To make keeping track of Materials easier, Grocery Run now gives Material Points. These are explained in its note.

The sheriff looks across the wide expanse of new enemies. "Field wipe time!" Wait, what? The sheriff puts on his metaphorical Chief hat (even though there is a chief hat). He raises up his hand and shouts, "Alright underlings, this area is under my jurisdiction! And do you know what that means? It means that I have the right to enforce Martial Law! That's right, get lined up and prepare your wallets." All of the underlings form a jumbled line and start patting around their pockets, trying to find their grist wallets. The sheriff slowly walks to the front of the line and takes out the Cardboard Box from the starting items. "Five grist to pass. Otherwise..." He shakes his fist in front of him. He then begins walking down the line of underlings. At each underling, he holds out the box and allows the underling to place grist in the box. If they do, he smiles, steps aside, and lets them go on with their business. However, if they don't, he slowly, menacingly closes the box. Then, he rapidly raises the box up, slams it down on the underling's head, and kicks the underling in the gut (or equivalent body part).
After collecting all of the money and or attacking Flumphs, he whistles. "Aw man, in my short time enforcing martial law, I have never seen this many people requesting passage at once."
Summary: Use Martial Law ability.
