Patch and his new cohort, Mistri, both land on the new island. Because I'm too lazy to write up conversation between them, imagine something here. Either way, "both" of them head towards the Spire Watchtower with Redstone, mainly to get a better survey of the area.

Toast enters the Fissure?. If necessary, she uses her WHIRRYYY chainsaw to make the gap larger and carve a path down. Rather than setting the wood alight, the emerald fire seemed to crystalise against the walls.

@Engie: By my calculations, you have 45 total skill points. Including the ones you haven't spent.
@Sunny: At the moment, we have switched to the "Exploration" segment of the game. You can wander around, and explore Zone 3 in your search for... something. To explore, look at the tab "Map of Zone 3", and state where you go.

@GM, when can I act?

@Sunny, you should point out where you want to spawn, and then you can spawn next turn.

Originally posted on 2016-05-18 16:10:00

Ok, just returned and saw all of that. I spawn at the Landing.
Sorry for the inconveniences, @GM.

Aaron thinks hard for a second, looking at the fissure
"Hold on, I think I have something for that."
And he proceeds to pull out a long, gnarled staff...
Vi Naturae, the Plant Staff. Everything here is made of wood, looks like Aaron's got pretty much total control over the landscape as long as he's got that staff in his hands.
it looks sort of wavery though, it likely won't be any good in combat. It's almost like it came out of a damaged memory orb or something.

Either way, he walks open to the fissure, and uses his wood-based majjycks to open it up wider, making stairs down without actually damaging anything valuable that might be down there.
Because seriously, screw the Zetta timer. The sooner we find a way to murder that jerk the better.

I go east and take the chair sculpture.

Well, now I've got a new character set up for use if anyone wants me to switch off of the whole sniper role. He's in the discussion thread.

@GM, ok?

Oriko goes to the Crossroads, and if possible, then to the Wooden Crag. If she has to stay in the Crossroads, she reminds Chaos that gold is soft by smashing an orb into it.

Kirika stays at the landing and looks at the massive ship.

=TURN ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN=

>You have been granted a free, BONUS TURN! Huzzah!

@Sunny: You can read up on the Prone status in the Rules.

First up, Sunny joins the game! Welcome! I made a few final mods to your character; a buff to your weapon, and some minor changes around the board. Nothing TOO big, I'd say. Redstone then enters the foe rush tower with 9001 floors Spire Watchtower. A vauge-but-not-wood material makes up the ladder that leads up to a nice, wooden platform with a splinter-woven canopy above you. The high vantage point gives you vision of quite a bit of the Splinter Drift. Map updated, kinda. Insert then walks north, straight off the island joining Redstone. Also, Patch and Mistri join them too. It's a watchtower party! Toast then decides it a marvelous idea to use a flaming chainsaw on a wooden island, but is quickly "stopdoingthat" tackled by Roxxanne, causing Toast to drop the chainsaw!

The chainsaw lands on the floor, starting a small fire. However, it also seems to have crystallized a bit of the wood in the fissure, making it a little easier to move through... +10% Progress. Anyway, kill that fire with fire. Or maybe don't do that. Sunny then attempts to appear at the landing, but he's already there! Aaron then casts MEMORY ORB EX MACHINA, summoning Vi Naturae! He then manipulates a good deal of the wood out of the way. +20% Progress. Numbersoup then engages in theft, stealing a whole giant chair sculpture. Siria then heads to the Crossroads, while Pricey and Teag join the Watchtower Party. Oriko then runs off to the Wooden Crag. You're almost certain that this whole area is really unsafe. But hey, there's a nice view, and a little shadewood walkway to the Furniture Graveyard, which doesn't sound spooky at all.

Mabuz then goes even eastier, arriving at the Spire Chasm. There's a massive chasm (obviously) with spires (obviously) and a single, metalic spire. You have a feeling that one's dangerous. There's also a bunch of Glitch Slimes, but they're bouncing awfully close to you. Be careful. Roxxanne then attempts to enter the fissure, but gets stuck on the way in. Roxxanne is now very stuck, head first. The fire's pretty close; if it gets time to grow, Roxxanne could be in for a bit of hurt.

=ZONE ?=
SOUL promptly turns into a ball of smoke, escaping the Secretary. It then floats up, and grabs the key, before reforming into a vaugely humanoid shape. The Secretary is no longer aggressive towards SOUL. Obtained the Key(?).

Mabuz goes on a journey to the west east.

I immediately stop Toast from using her FLAMING chainsaw on a WOODEN ISLAND.

No! Bad toast!

I offer to go into the place she wanted to go instead due to my super agility.

Well, looks like we have a crate here, and our good friend is offering free stuff for jumping off the cliff.

Are you serious? There's simply no WAY I would jump off of that without knowing I at least had a chance I could live!

First off, you have the incredibly powerful armor right on you, so already you have something that could take some of the falling damage.

And second, I have a feeling we could kill two birds with one stone here...

[ABOUT EIGHT MINUTES LATER]

There's now a bunch of Fluffy Dog Barriers back at The Landing, placed directly below the platform. They're also stacked two on each other for additional fluffiness in an attempt to cushion Patch's inevitable fall.

Considering there's so much Dog Blocks, if there's not enough Fluffy Dog Barriers to already get that effect, then Mistri re-checks for the recipe and makes more by uncompressing, compressing, and pretty much crafting more as needed from the Dog Blocks.

Patch himself is standing on the crate, right up towards the edge of the platform. Mistri climbs back up to the now worried Patch.

Are you crazy? This is incredibly dangerous! AND unsafe!

That's why I set up all those fluffy blocks right there: They might not handle combat so well, but they can obviously soften impacts!

But that's enough talking, Patch. We've got no time to waste. Go for it!

Mistri shoves the crate off the platform, with Patch obviously following it close by. After enough falling later, Patch decides to be an hero and jumps off the crate, probably violating some law and landing directly into the mass of Fluffy Dog Barriers to try and break his fall enough for him to survive. The crate, as Mistri slightly miscalculated, was not so lucky, and took heavy damage if not smashing into more splinters on the spot.

So how'd it go there?

Toast uses energy manipulation to crystalise the fire, as she had intended to do earlier. If that fails, she opens 3 Bottled Bottled Waters, then opens the now Bottled Waters, then chucks the contents on the fire. Afterwards, she uses Shifting Sands to swap places with Roxxanne so she can do something about the fire, WITHOUT getting 5th degree burns from her fire weakness. Just in case my water shenanigans fail.

If needed by Roxxanne, she casts it a second time.

SOUL: Inspect the Fading Memory Orb, then head south for the winter.
