    You begin playing Gristaji, for real this time!

    As you begin to play Gristaji, a large forest inexplicably sprouts around you as several vines and such sprout up. Despite being around twenty thousand feet aboved sea level, the temperature increases to around ninety degrees. The world you find yourself transported to is a dense jungle, and these changes appear to have taken affect widely... Fort Grist and the remainder of the Battelfield have become surrounded by a dense jungle for the time being, with only one clear way out - where you currently are. Anyone who bothers to look around notices a shimmering green glow from a location deep in the jungle - the same color as the Grist you are all holding. If it's that large, then... heck yea, it's worth going for!

    Anyone who wants to join in the sidequest should do so now. A large pile of Grist awaits at the end of this (probably very dangerous) jungle road, and on top of it you guys are in no real risk for going on it, as you'll be transportalized back to the Battlefield when your HP hits zero. Joining is a free action, and the sidequest will truly start after the next update. As for right now, feel free to take care of Actions on the battlefield, as you won't be able to when out exploring!

    Fire

    Order

    Water

    Natural Forces

    Simply put, there is one surefire attack to destroy this jester!

    A grid of orderly steam vents appear around tricky! Unexpectedly, they spew out gouts of flame, melting the icy Jester, but these flames are replaces by steam as water hits the flames! Simply put, the laws of thermodynamics and evaporation, basic natural forces, combine the power of fire and water together to make them more devastating! And since this is all in an orderly grid....

    WEAKNESS HIT X4! COMBOB!
     
    FOCUS: Tricky is surrounded in ice. Ice plus fire equals water. I activate the Modern Elemental Wand, combining a jet of pure oxygen and a gout of liquid cesium. The two spontaneously react and combust, burning Tricky and melting his ice into water. I then take the Pen of Religious Wordplay and use it to summon Jesus, who proceeds to walk on water, trampling Tricky in the process. Jesus, of course, rewrote divine law to replace the old system of worship with a more direct relationship with God. This was in one way a decrease in order, as it reduced the number of laws that the faithful needed to follow, but in another way it was an increase, for it served to better bring the world into harmony with the divine. So Jesus does both at once, increasing the order on one side of Tricky's body and decreasing the order on the other. With the absence of order being chaos and chaos being related to the concept of entropy, this causes one side of Tricky's body to freeze again, while the other vaporizes into steam. Now, Jesus is also known for feeding the masses, multiplying fish and bread. It stands to reason that he would also be able to multiply other types of food, like beef. Beef comes from a cow, and a cow used for labor is known as an ox. Jesus, therefore, can act as an ox generator. I take that ox-y gen and put it on the cold/ordered side, where it rapidly cools into liquid oxygen, or "LOX". The locks lock Tricky in place, allowing me to jab the pen into his frozen frame and drop the Obscenely Dense Religious Book on it, acting like a hammer and chisel. Tricky is left shattered on one side and melted on the other, perfectly balanced, as order must be.

    [LVL 2] Obscenely Dense Religious Book: An absolutely massive book containing the ideals of omniquantism - and therefore, the ideals of every single god, because all of them exist and are correct. Despite this, the book still has a massive amount of contradictions within itself.

    [LVL 2] Pen of Puns: A pen that forces it's user's hand to write absolutely terrible puns. Could potentially be used as a debuff?

    [LVL 4 / LVL 3] Infinite Vacuum/Infinite Repeller: A Bag of Holding capable of sucking in everything loose around it, and sending it to the infinite abyss it contains. / Allows stuff to be repelled away from the small bag that is the vacuum. When combined, you realize you essentially have a fantasy-style knockoff of a Poltergust!

    [LVL 5] Modern Elemental Wand:
    A wand capable of harnessing the elements in a more modern way, allowing manipulation of an individual element on the periodic table. Allows any action based around this a bonus of 3000 Player Power.

    [LVL 5] Pen of Religious Wordplay: A pen capable of rearranging the letters in any religious book to create bad puns, and then utilizing them attack. Like the Modern Elemental Wand, this gives a basic boost of 3000 Player Power to any action it relates to.

    Action 1: Soul Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction && Staff of the Thousand Suns

    Action 2: I realize that Tricky's last weakness is Natural Forces, so I spin around with Bat in hand, sparking the ground with the knife, the sparks lighting the bat on fire, before i leap up, letting gravity carry me down and slam onto Tricky's head.

    Action 3: Empowered by the authority of a captain, and the strength of the seas, i slice and dice Tricky with my Captain's Cannonblade, before finishing with a cannonball to the face.

    Soul Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction && Staff of the Thousand Suns:
    [LVL 8 - 50000 Grist] Doom Bat of the Thousand Suns:
    Giovanni's classic bat emblazened and engraved with multiple runic figures and solar glyphs - the knife is still taped to it. Deals an additional 9000 fire damage on an attack utilizes with it, due to the firey nature of the solar power within. (Giovanni would totally think this is the coolest bat ever.)

    Double Weakness Strike - Fire & Natural Forces! Dealt 10 damage, due to the     Inked buff!

    You strike Tricky with the strength of the seas (and cannonballs), dealing 4 damage! Tricky scowls at the insult. You're pretty sure if the Godmodder had given it the ability to talk, it would come back with a scathing retort of some kind already.

    Illusory Reality Beam[Lv 2] Creates Hardlight Illusions, Paradox Wand[Lv 4], creates Minor paradoxes, All in One[Lv 3], actually has a tool for any purpose.Chromatic Shurikens[Lv 7] Does damage type based on colour

    (x3)(Paradox Wand)(Chromatic Shurikens)(All in One)

    I separate All in One into 4 Pieces and have them float behind me, each a point of a large rectangle, with the Paradox Wand, i inscribe the divisions inside the large rectangle to form 4 smaller rectangles and with the chromatic Shurikens, I outline the rectangle in Black.

    I invoke the 4 Fundamental Forces, the greatest of all Natural Forces that exists. Gravity, Electromagnetism, the Strong and Weak Force.

    I invoke Gravity first, as the TOP-left rectangle glows black. A black hole forms right before Tricky with its Accretion Disk slamming right into him. The Temperature is around 300,000,000 Kelvin right now, Quite hot. Then Tricky actually falls into the Black Hole and all is quiet...well except for the metric ton of water I tossed into the black hole from above and that is rapidly crushing into him now. After some time, Tricky would start feeling the true force of Gravity as it tears at his body, turning it into spaghetti, before it reaches the Singularity...and well, nobody is quite sure of what happens at that point, but I'm quite sure that the Singularity itself is quite orderly, a perfect point of infinite density. Quite a Paradox isn't it.

    When Tricky improbably survives the experience, he now faces my second Attack.The Strong Force, as the TOP-Right rectangle falls into Darkness. The Strong force is what holds matter together, without it...atoms wouldn't be able to hold together. With a snap of my finger,Tricky is subjected to disintegration to subatomic particles. He easily pops back up from that but then I go to the other extreme and increase the Strong force, causing Tricky to compress, heating up greatly in the process, requiring me to pour even more water onto him...which fuse with him due to the increase in Strong Force...either way, Tricky becomes a goop of mysterious matter.

    Tricky bounces back from that just in that for my next trick, the Weak Force, Bottom Right Rectangle falls into the Shadow Realm. It's the Force explaining Radiation. With a snap of my fingers, Tricky becomes radioactive and disappears into half the next second, with the area around him being heavily irradiated and hot, even as the atmospheric changes immediately causes rain to fall onto him, resulting in more radiation. Basically Tricky is now the Bomb.

    After Tricky slowly uses up his Rad Aways. I invoke the last fundamental force, the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Wavelengths of all types blast at Tricky, water on him due to all my efforts explode due to Microwaves while he's bombarded with Gamma Rays, X-Rays and Radio Waves. As I focus, a Newborn Sun is born as all my Alchemies focus onto it, and with a heave, I throw this flaming ball, a Newborn Judgement straight at Tricky.

    You focus on the fundamental forces of nature and imbue them with order, fire, and water! Combining all four weaknesses, you deal a massive 50 damage to Tricky and wipe out about a quarter of his health! Tricky looks in fear of what comes next, but without the Improbability Reserve, there's nothing he can do but shield through these blows...

    Hum I think I have to test my new gun now.

    Firstly, I open up one of the containers of Concentrated Glyphic Magic, and use it to expand the glyph array previously used for a mine. Across the border of my prior glyphs, I create a series of three very advanced glyphs. The first one is the duplication, or virus, glyph, which makes more of itself and its attached glyphs when supplied with Glyphic magic. This is the particular three-glyph variant, as ensuring proper mana-flow requires adjusting for glyph-count. The second is a fairly standard, if unusually self-contained (and thus autotileable without troubles) variant of the Grist-mining glyphs used in the centre of the mine, and the third is a linked kinetoglyph to keep outside influences away and shove the appropriate grist back to its source-All Glyphs I had to look up in the magitech library, I've no photographic memory. In short, the Glyphic Grist Mine can now be upgraded by consuming Glyphic magic without my direct intervention.

    Secondly, I apply strengthening glyph powder to myself, using it to improve my movement speed, and flee the battlefield. Only temporarily, in order to locate a suitable person. Once I've found someone who I either know well enough to vouch for (though they shouldn't be in the area), or which appears simultanously stupid enough to accept and smart enough to fulfil my task, I drag them back and give them some glyph powder for durability. Their instructions are simple: When there is enough Grist from the Grist Mine and/or once a turn,alchemize a container of Concentrated Glyphic Magic. since, to my knowledge, alchemy only requires a few simple hole-punching activities, they should be able to do this effectively enough.

    Thirdly, I check Container of Concentrated Glyphic Magic && a man-sized container filled to the brim.

    INVENTORY: 0 Mana crystals, 2->1 containers Concentrated Glyphic Magic, 1 Fire elemental ammunition, 1 strengthening glyph powder.
    Assets: Glyphic Grist Mine (cost: 1 Cont. Glyphic Magic, 1 Action labour. Upgrades: 1 M. Crystal, Aprx. 1 Action labour.)w/800G, Alchemiting guy, 6,000 Grist

    Glyphic Grist Mine is upgraded, allowing it to slowly grow autonomously!

    Concentrated Glyphic Magic && Filled Large Container:
    [LVL 4 - 7000 Grist] Concentrated Glyph Container:
    A large container capable of holding large amounts of Glyphic Magic - roughly about 5000 of the small vials you've been carrying. I'm gonna have to start creating units for this if it keeps up.

    • The Godmodder is brimming with frustration... and actually decides to talk for the first time.
    The Godmodder: Alright, you idiots.
    The Godmodder: I expected I'd actually come into contact with some competent Players eventually, but honestly?
    The Godmodder: I'm suprised it took this long, to be fair.
    You knew about the Godmodder for roughly... perhaps a week beforehand, counting for travel time here before you joined the battle. His talking kinda raises the question - just how long has he been a Godmodder, anyways?
    The Godmodder: Shut up, Arbiter.
    Wha - Hey! Rude!
    The Godmodder: Kinda my job.
    The Godmodder: Anyways... Players.
    The Godmodder: Don't expect these next few waves to be nearly as easy as the last.
    The Godmodder: Here - I'll even give you a "break turn" to charge up some Grist and alchemize items. Even attempt to land a hit on me, if you want.
    The Godmodder: It doesn't matter. Pretty soon, you'll all be in the Soul Orb anyways!
    ... Wow, he's cocky... and charging some more Grist again.

    Anyways, I guess you guys have a break turn here. Use it wisely! I'm also going to add an Itinerary (or however it's spelt) and put stats here soon. Stay posted.

    Items: Steel Swiftsword, Bag of Capture, Spherical Shooter, T-Rex Progrise Key, Jacker Gauntlet
    Grist: 74000
    Real Estate: Alchemiter Research Facility, Grist Synthesizer

    Hah, the Progrise key isn't for humagears, it's for me but first I need a driver to obviously henshin.

    1. I create a fusion. between the Shotriser and Zero-one driver using the basic gun form and the authorize panel.
    2. I use my revelation point to figure out how to make precious grist
    3. I upgrade my Grist Synthesizer to be 1000% better
     
    I glance over to the man with the quite powerful bat which Giovanni would think was of high quality. Hm. That bat appears to have Glyphs onto it. Seeing this, I approach the (unusually jubilant) man, and ask a question.

    Firstly, I approach the dual grist foundry. Through analysis of it's structure,I gain knowledge- albeit of the basic variety- of its function and method. and through the creation of a replica, I could have my own. But a replica is insufficient for my purpose; I do not want it specifically. Rather, I take the structure and... adapt it. cutting corners, for instance. If I can specify a specific type of alchemy for it to aid, I can cut down on a lot of redundancy, and making assumptions about item-type lets procedures get tightened. Other factors are due to my unique state. A Foundry is a location for the casting of metal, often with high temperatures; a Fire elemental ammunition cartridge can have its materials stripped and ground to provide an exceptional heat source. On the other hand, there are some ordinary corners cut I have to fill out; the assumptions apparently made for player use. Still, specialisation helps cut the cost a fair bit, and by the end of it I've got my own - small - grist foundry, optimised for Level 4 or lower items and only functional for items of the Glyphed variety.

    Secondly, I take a break to clock into the Magitech library. at its simplest level, Magitech refers to a combination of Magic and Technology, and the primary hurdle to something of that sort is incompatible energy sources. Magic can turn into electricity with lightning spells easily enough, but converting the mechanistic movement of electricity into Mana requires a more... fundamental change. Luckily, though, some clever people have been thinking about this sort of thing from quite a long time. I can't begin to describe the formal hypothesis and reasoning in the bounds of anything less then a masters thesis, but I can regurgitate a slightly altered pop-science story. Which will have to do. Mana, it is said, comes from life. Humans, for instance, often have their own internal mana pools, and ambient mana is a common occurrence on many planes and systems. The Origin of Mana is unclear- depending on the history you read, mana might be unrelated to, or equivalent to, the belief and embodiment that is theorised to power some types of deities, and of course nobody knows how the architects worked, never mind the theory that Anything confusing originates from a bored player no matter the relevant chronology because they can cause things retroactively- But most areas with mana have it originate from life. Since Mana also originates from and affects many varieties of plants (often in a non-reductionist manner which confounds study, but not always), it was reasoned it cannot fundamentally depend on cognition, which eases the load considerably- and besides most cyborgs have greater limitations to their magical capabilities then their biological counterparts. So, through investigation and- though few will admit it- trial and error, the particular portions of life which produce mana were discovered. As it turned out, there were many of them, not the one a reductionist would expect, but at this point all of those were quietly screaming in the corner, so things moved on. After more trial and error, a comparatively simple chemical reaction was isolated which, with a few clever changes to its environment, be caused and reversed by electricity. this was only a medium/low-level reaction, failing entirely in high-to-mid-mana areas, but moving things is no problem for either Magic or technology, so a system was soon devised to cycle the mana-creator chambers through wheels with a block of factory-carved depleted Mana Crystal whirling a short distance behind it, hoovering up the produced magic in time for the reaction chamber to return to its earlier location, and with the crystals being slotted in and out at regular intervals. And so true magitech blossoWait that part doesn't matter. ahem.
    Following these principals (and six pages of differential equations to show the required tolerances, which have to be obeyed with precision as any mistake will compound itself like on a hard disk, and using lead (well known as the poor man's mana cloak or, in this case, the person-who-can't-use-magic-because-they-need-a-low-mana-area's mana deflector) at the boundaries and for most of the chamber to keep out outside mana and its influences), I clock out of the Magitech library with a (rather standard) design for a Mana Generator, which I immediately socket into a Glyphic Aspect Crystal (more on aspect crystals next round!) so it'll start producing Glyphic Magic... Once I can get myself a power supply up and running. Ugh.

    Thirdly will occur seperately.

    INVENTORY: 0 Mana crystals, 1 containers Concentrated Glyphic Magic, 1->0 Fire elemental ammunition, 0 strengthening glyph powder.

    (x1)(chromatic Shurikens)With the aid of some green Shurikens, i pin the the last Backup Jester's Body to the ground, the Shurikens create some vines that surround the Backup Jester and cocoon him, after glowing, they wither away to show that the Backup Jester has been replaced with a Multi-coloured lotus flower. I then place this Multi-colored lotus flower into the LOBAV and the Magitech Library, calling on the Eldritch Knowledge contained within both to Magi-Mechanise the Flower, preserving it's Magical Abilities while also making it more efficient...in the process, it's encased within a translucent black shell...turning it, at some angles of Light, into a Black Lotus. I then place this Black Lotus onto our Grist Reactor, tapping into it's Efficient Chaotic Magical energies to gain even more Grist a turn.

    (x1)I alchemise the Aspected Multitool

    (x1)(Aspected Multitool)With the Aspected Multitool I call upon Life and Space, to create a place of Healing for our troops, a Hospital of sorts, through Nightmarish Science fusing Biological and Mechanical, aided with the help of Magitech from the Library and the Knowledge from LOBAV, although this Hospital looks small now...it shall become something much more...soon.

    Thirdly...

    So saying, I accept the offer of the Bat. walking over to the Magitech library, where I pull out three books for reference. The comparatively ordinary "Beginners Encyclopedia of Elemental Glyphs", the somewhat less-used "Glyphic Magic : advantages and disadvantages", and the esoteric handbook "magical influences of various technologies and how to avoid them". Sitting down at one of the worktables I assume is there- or making one if not- for experimentation (and hence either a warded table, or one made of lead), I start out by flipping through the Beginners Encyclopedia, marking down each Solar glyph I identify on a paper I pulled out for notes and the page number in the book. That's all prepatory work, though. the important parts are the other two. Reading through Glyphic Magic(...), I see the summary (which turns out to be unusually encompassing of the subject manner), reads thus:
    Glyphic Magic is an unusual pursuit. Only present in a few pure-magic societies-where it is viewed as an experts pursuit of great difficulty-, it is much more common in magitech groups, and more likely to be used en mas in such instances. Seemingly a God-send for Magitech,it has distinct disadvantages due to its unavoidable effects on the surrounding mana-field. Additionally, Glyphic magic of most varieties has more direct applications to defence then offence, though the reason for this is as yet unknown. However,Glyphic magic has its own advantages to counterbalance this. the precision it holds is much more advanced then of ordinary, for example, fire magic, but more importantly, Glyphic magic is one of few types which can be modified. Glyphs are not limited to kinetic or pure-mana projections, as one can create Earthen Glyphs, Solar Glyphs, Glacial glyphs, and so on, granting the magic an entirely new set of applications; Glyphic magic can also be combined-in expert cases-with Runic magic. Runic magic tends to focus on only the symbols, while glyphic magic requires they be embeded into their material with varying depths and mana-densities; One can construct a Runic structure, then give it an entirely different sublevel of Glyphic effects by varying symbol depths and elements. However, this all comes at the cost of precision being necessary, increasingly so; and since most mechanical structures don't have their own mana paths, automated glyphs are often simply a dream.
    After reading through most of the book- enough to recognise that I'm not experienced enough to improve the Runic sections of the bat- I move on to the last book. It doesn't have a summary, but it does have a glossary and index and whatnot, so since I know what I'm looking for-the effects of Solar Panels- it doesn't take long to find its answer. Some types of Solar Panels are able to bend unbound magic of any type into Solar magic(glyphic magic maintains the adjective except in extreme circumstances), provided sufficient proximity and time. It notes, however, that it is much more efficient to hold up the magic to the sun with a magnifying glass. In general, the book explains how elemental mana tends to form either from specialized chemical reactions, or via mana converting towards the environment's nature, and that technology seems disproportionately disruptive to this type of mana conversion, as well as listing less-disruptive designs, materials, and how to organise things to remove the issue. At any rate, I've found my answer- I need sunlight for this. Holding up my last container of concentrated Glyphic Magic to an adjustable-focus skylight's focus, I wait a short while for it to convert to Solar-Attuned Glyphic Magic, then carefully use a nearby chisel to add some of the types of solar glyphs it was previously lacking, along with durability and heat-resistance glyphs, to each bit of remaining free space, then infuse little bits of Solar Glyphic Magic into the existing glyphs to alter their mana-depth, and add new Mana-Channels, until the bat reenters equilibrium with the new mana requirements, making sure to add redundant Mana-sinks in case some glyphs or runes get damaged while the bat is being swung around.
    By the End of it, I've hopefully gained a significant amount of knowledge regarding Solar glyphs and their practical applications, while... Giovanni potage?... will hopefully have received a better Bat.
     
    I'm new to this kind of thing, so hopefully I'm doing this right...

    Empty, for now!

    Obviously I am Anti-Godmodder, their existence cannot be allowed to continue! I'll hop into the Festive Fort Grist and use this turn to build up my stuff.

    First, I'll see what happens if I alchemize by previewing Bug Repellant && Reality. Hopefully it will create an object that will discourage Void creatures from attacking, I would have some use for that...

    I'll use my first two actions Grist mining, as I'm a newcomer and don't have much Grist.

    Then I'll use my final action to alchemize Vacuum && Blender. My goal with alchemizing these two objects is to create a basic weapon capable of dealing damage to enemies.
     
    Gnich and Paradoxdragonpaci , your responses are finally completed to include everything. Sorry for the delayed update! The sidequest update is coming up in a couple minutes, so... uh, stay tuned Algot. Since nobody else joined in.
     
    Gristaji - Sidequest 1-2
  • Sidestory
    • Algot - You begin to traverse through the jungle as it's entrance opens up, leading down into a vast river valley filled with vegetation and various tropical animals. Parrots fly overhead through the canopy, creating a sense of wonder. You pull of a winter coat you've been wearing for the whole battle now as the entirety of the battlefield fades into the tropics left behind you...

    Now that you're down here, you realize this might take a little while longer than you thought.

    And then, you come across a massive, stone brick wall. Though too big to easily get over, you notice something that might be a little bit faster - a puzzle gate of sorts. Within the wall is a crevice clearly designed for some kind of item to be placed within it. On the wall right next to it is a set of pictographs, seemingly representing a fusion of some two objects. It's made easier through a label, somehow written in English, beneath:

    Rose's Needlewands

    You notice something else nearby as well: A second Alchemiter, but it seems... limited - almost as if you tried making anything too high-leveled with them, they'd merely explode. Though the turn on the Battlefield hasn't ended quite yet, you... somehow gain 10000 Grist to work with.
