OK, good Boiz. I activate the Hungry Visitor control prion from the thread "Defeat the Godmodder" that once tricked some dangerous Hurtsharks into servitude.
you try to do that, but realize... you didn't put enough of the prion in the meat [since you never said you did it at all], and the self-replication is damaged! still, you manage to make the wolves more likely to listen to you as long as they sorta-like you.
Well then... let's create some bone-tools grown with stem cells and my DNA while we are at it: CREATE LONG BONE POLE reinforced with DIAMOND.
you have created LONG DIAMOND POLE. LONG DIAMOND POLE is a MAGE/WARRIOR weapon. would you like to change current secondary and tertiary classes? [main class is founder. other classes will be largely ignored outside of sidequests]
[1/5] Village Leader: from a... I have many questions. you show him the corrupted corepse [3/5] Village Leader: annnd this just raises more.

I mean... i said a field test would help. computer simulations are decent i guess but they can miss things, while in a field test you can't make wrong assumptions. you do find that one of the struts is under more pressure then it's designed for though, giving +0.3 charge.
Hm... how would I control this human body without control prions though moni- ER no this is not how I will start any post ever again.
OK Boiz, let's go. Using my diamond/bone pole as incentive, I put the wolves in front of the sled that I... er... I had that sled all along OK? It was in my inventory and I didn't take it out because I was... there was no snow but now there IS snow AND white wolves. And how did we get over the river? Er I just... carried them over the stream one by one. So that they don't get wet. Let's go then. (damnit I forgot the name of this trainer, gotta look in this book before I meet him)
I build a test version of my charging mechanism for the thing. I experiment on it, and find out that the circuitboard simply cannot handle it. Progress I guess.
I shall be using my discord avatar, as it's a zoomed in section of the madelbrot set so that perhaps poses problems yet also provides potential possiblities: I unfold from a point above the battlefield, at first glance I look sort of like a cyan fuzzball but on closer inspection it's spikier than that but still can't really be called spikes and all the spikes have spikes or possibly fuzz on them. My appearance doesn’t change right as perspective changes and however your eyes focus it's never quite right.
Upon reviewing the situation I decide that attacking the godmodder in an even remotely conventional way is an exercise in futility. Thus I create a small gnome in purple tweed vest with neon orange spots and stripes, it has incredibly baggy pants printed with a jpeg so incredibly shitty that what it was ever meant to represent is unclear, it also has long pointy twirly shoes, hat and nose but they aren't as long as the hat and shoes are green, they're neon green, as green as a very green thing. It sings a song “I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, EVERYBODY'S NERVES, everybody's nerves and this is how it goes…” ad infinitum in a nasal tone, off key and slightly off time with random pauses just to keep the ‘modder from getting used to it. It is also in destructible, immortal, phasing, can teleport, counts as it's own unalterable and ontologicaly self supporting sub dimention, exsists above and beyond both space and time, can be heard over even the loudest noises, can be heard and seen through any and all obstructions including a lack of eyes ears or sensory cortex, cannot be fooled or misdirected due to fundementaly being bonded to the godmoddet, too simple to bargin with, cannot be mind controlled as it’s basic nature is annoying the godmodder and cannot be retroactively erased. As long as the godmodder exsists in some form there will be an annoying gnome dancing around it singing an annoying song. Forever.
the godmodder braces himself for your gnome... as you summon it, the air wavers, letting through a snipet oets on everybBefore the air rights itself and the sound stops. you see, it is its own dimension (i assume that's what you meant by dimention), and it is very hard to interact with other dimensions from here. with only one action, you can't cause perpetual contact between this dimension and others. Besides which, by the power of grammar nazism, it is bonded to the godmoddet,which means it wouldn't have bothered the godmodder anyway.

Hm... how would I control this human body without control prions though moni- ER no this is not how I will start any post ever again.
OK Boiz, let's go. Using my diamond/bone pole as incentive, I put the wolves in front of the sled that I... er... I had that sled all along OK? It was in my inventory and I didn't take it out because I was... there was no snow but now there IS snow AND white wolves. And how did we get over the river? Er I just... carried them over the stream one by one. So that they don't get wet. Let's go then. (damnit I forgot the name of this trainer, gotta look in this book before I meet him)
Well, addressing the first bit,I assumed this is your real physical body. and it logically must be, since if this is not in fact your body, the skin would not extend your elemental manipulation, and besides, 'i create some of my flesh' does not imply 'i replicate all bacteria and weird stuff in my flesh'. also, who is 'Moni'? I know no one whos name starts with Moni. That aside... you carry them over the stream one by oPAFF. ow! a snowball impacts your face. the snowmen on the other side of the river are moving!... I promise i was not trying to outwit your elemental control ability- I only remembered just now that you can't control frozen liquids.

Oh no. This is dangerous, I can't control frozen liquids. Or so you thought. I think a simple gunshot would be more threatening though since I think that those bullets are pretty small. I think I don't want the wolves to be attacked by these snowmen. I signal the eldritch being that wanted the powers, that I pay it back with some white wolves because it lost all of its doggos. The wolves vanish from the battlefield and I am left alone with the snow golems.
Hmm ... what do I do to destroy the Snowmen... OH I know. Ahem... "Holy water elemental and of course also your cores, appear here within 10 minutes using this ... metal magic circle I just put out of my inventory. Nema ytinrete dog aretecte aretecte!"
Hmmm... I got it! I try to use a shorter cord, or if I can't, find a way to wrap it around something.
you wrap it around. well, it'll work for now, at least... it serves as a more-accessible target though, so you'll need to fix that at some point. +1.7 charge for now, but if you forget to fix it either A) your summon will have a weak point or B) the attack will be weakened by about 2.5C.
"Not bad. Of course, not the best either. What is this other task, and also emeralds emeralds emeralds take them pewpewpew."
The Village leader looks surprised at your generosity, since you met him mere minutes ago and are almost-literally giving him money. or maybe he's just surprised you have more. you aren't quite sure.

[2/5] Village Leader: The short version is we need people, such as you, to go through a magic evil fortress and kill all the monsters to keep the from growing. [3/5] Village Leader: The fortresses have a lot of valuable objects in them, but they're very deadly. It's not urgent, so I think you should prepare as best you can before going... if you want to go at all, that is. I understand you might not want to. [4/5] Village Leader: if you want to know more, stick around here and I can explain what else i know. [5/5] Village Leader: regardless, take this promissory note as thanks for what you've given so far. the shops will accept it as being 80 emeralds.

do you really expect it to take you 10 minutes to deal with the snowmen? have some faith in yourself, man.
I try experimenting with different ways on transferring power. Like... MANA CRYSTALS! That would be perfect. Question is, how do I make it work... Ah, of course! I work on electric elemental receivers and transmitters, allowing the weakness to disappear or be significantly less crippling.
So... I'll take this time to give one of the snowmen a random curse.

So... The Snowman transforms into an ancient Snow-Behemoth, but he also is now nocturnal and needs to find a cave at day or he'll get a sunburn, dazzled and very very tired.
(OOC: Apologies, things have been hectic and busy.)
I'll cast Greater restroation on Perry to help him out, and try to reason a bit with the Deva.
"Hey, pal, I know things have changed a bit, but I've tried my best to de-corrupt the thing. Sometimes, you've gotta cut your losses."
Perry's Shadiamond is reduced to that state where he had 10 AC but no crit/dodge, and will not increment for 4 turns.
DEVA: No, You did Not! DEVA: You cast ONE spell! I admit I don't know how long you thought about it, But I Doubt you spent five minutes by the clock trying to think of another way! DEVA: There's a hundred things you could try! if one doesn't work, that doesn't mean none of the others do!
((something I feel might have gotten lost in semi-metaphorical translation: If you cast a spell and my response sounds like I looked up the spell and looked at recent events to find out what it says would happen, and then I say based on that it doesn't work, that doesn't mean you can't do what you where aiming for, just that this particular spell is not the tool for the job. on the other hand, if I where to say "you cast the spell, but the magic slips off without an effect" it's more likely you won't get it just by casting different spells.))
Because those sound like things I should pay attention to.
yes, they are. shadiamond is how much of your shadow has been turned into diamonds by the radiation that does that. everything but the very edge of your body is in shadow, so this equates to how much of you is made of diamonds instead of hoomin flesh steak. Radiation enforcer is a machine which increases the power of radiation where it's aimed at, like a radiation-strengthening laser gun. it was originally made to get rid of Shadiamond, but has been stolen and turned into a weapon. you roll to delay the problem by being oblivious... it works. but you still have to deal with it before next turn, or ignore it and turn into solid diamond. EISHALONTURN the eishalon points its staff at Aiesenberg and Perry, doing (40-10) damage to perry, and applying Gloom to Aeisenberg. neither misses.
I try experimenting with different ways on transferring power. Like... MANA CRYSTALS! That would be perfect. Question is, how do I make it work... Ah, of course! I work on electric elemental receivers and transmitters, allowing the weakness to disappear or be significantly less crippling.

nobody uses emeralds, only promisory notes- probably since they build stuff out of them. Armor names: emerald-veined plate armored leggings enhanced firewalkers darkness-imbued legging (level 42) (all of them are very expensive, but you think you can buy one or two if you sell the bows and hammer. The only comercially-available wand is level 28, scroll merchant's stock is all charred and unreliable, a pink wool merchant sells pink wool for 256 promissory note emeralds (192 after thank-you note) and will buy pink wool for 64. There's an Egg merchant, who sells chicken eggs for 6 emeralds apiece, vulture eggs for 3 apiece, pigeon eggs for 4, a pitch-black egg he found the other day for 16, and a Soav egg for 64. there's a bottle-seller, who sells corruption-resistant bottles for 8 apiece, a mushroom man who sells mushrooms for 8, an apple merchant whos managed to cultivate apples in a plot surrounded on all sides by emeralds (16 apiece), a friend of his found a way to farm potatos (10 apiece),a feather merchant who sells you feathers from a variety of specieses (prices vary between 2 and 16 emeralds per feather). there is a man who will buy monster chunks and bits and bobs, and one who sells all colors of wool but pink, as well as a variety of leather. (10 emeralds, but the leather is as costly as pink wool). there is a man selling trinkets: 3 types of bracelets, 1 granting +4% loot and -2% spell damage, another increases your strength and earth damage but lowers walk speed,and a third gives you +2 dex +1% walk ad +1% thunder damage. he also has a special offer of a used beast pawn, which raises your air/earth defence by a bit, your air/earth damage by 2%, walk speed by 3%, and +12% for melee, but gives -5 to health regen. all trinkets cost around 80 -120 emeralds. there is a man in bloody robes with a face of black who calls himself a dungeon scroll merchant, but asks for things you've never heard of nor seen, and a man who sells a variety of potions. a very wide variety: 3 types for healing (varying in strength, each hast 3 uses, each costs 6 emeralds, potions of attribute enhancement (granting you +27 in a given stat when drunk for 6 posts (2 uses each) and giving another related buff (72 emeralds each), and potions of mana, which regenerate you an extra 30 mana over the course of 3 rounds, and cost you 120 emeralds. the people who buy things will offer on average 14 emeralds for the wood bows(each),16 for the bluestone one, an average of 30 for the hammer, and a bit over 100 for the leggings. the dagger averages 20. the stick averages 0. the wand averages Several Hundred, but you feel like that would be a scam if you took it. there's some guy covered in purple glitter who calls himself an 'item identifier'. he has a beard and you think he might be just a bit unhinged. beast jaw color has been changed because i just realized cyan was in fact already taken. i have no idea why i didn't notice before.

1 damage!
the retainers attack perry, doing 16-10=6 damage. the manifest tries to focus a beam at perry again, but it gets sucked into the still-black parts of the manifest. then, it grabs Gold and kicks them in the face. light injury to gold!
another support beam crumbles in the shelter. it takes 115 damage! crusher turns around and sees the enforcer is gone! oh no! nothing he can do about it, though... he repairs the shelter a bit instead.
The Godmodder takes the radiation enforcer and enters the password.

good... he aims it at Evonix first. let's see how they like being turned into a diamond... wait, it has to finish booting up first. drat.
the enforcer will activate every other turn while present, and amplify a type of radiation. in a way that is bad for you.
The Deva casts a spell to give the eishalon 10% dodge and 10% miss chances, keeping its promise.
Perry crystalizes almost fully. his attack drops to 15, and unless cured he's going to just be a statue.

Well, addressing the first bit,I assumed this is your real physical body. and it logically must be, since if this is not in fact your body, the skin would not extend your elemental manipulation, and besides, 'i create some of my flesh' does not imply 'i replicate all bacteria and weird stuff in my flesh'. also, who is 'Moni'? I know no one whos name starts with Moni.
That aside... you carry them over the stream one by oPAFF. ow! a snowball impacts your face. the snowmen on the other side of the river are moving!... I promise i was not trying to outwit your elemental control ability- I only remembered just now that you can't control frozen liquids.
You offer to help out more!
[1/5] Village Leader: hm... let me think for a moment.
a minute later, he continues.
[2/5] Village Leader: I can think of two ways you can help us
[3/5] Village Leader: the first option boils down to "get more emeralds please". we really need those.
[4/5] Village Leader: The second one, though... I hesitate to ask someone who just showed up about it...
[5/5] Village Leader: how well can you fight?

Hmmm... I got it! I try to use a shorter cord, or if I can't, find a way to wrap it around something.
"Not bad. Of course, not the best either. What is this other task, and also emeralds emeralds emeralds take them pewpewpew."
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Oh no. This is dangerous, I can't control frozen liquids. Or so you thought. I think a simple gunshot would be more threatening though since I think that those bullets are pretty small.
I think I don't want the wolves to be attacked by these snowmen. I signal the eldritch being that wanted the powers, that I pay it back with some white wolves because it lost all of its doggos. The wolves vanish from the battlefield and I am left alone with the snow golems.
Hmm ... what do I do to destroy the Snowmen... OH I know. Ahem... "Holy water elemental and of course also your cores, appear here within 10 minutes using this ... metal magic circle I just put out of my inventory. Nema ytinrete dog aretecte aretecte!"
What's "5% shadiamond"? And "Radiation enforcer"?
Because those sound like things I should pay attention to.
you wrap it around. well, it'll work for now, at least... it serves as a more-accessible target though, so you'll need to fix that at some point.
+1.7 charge for now, but if you forget to fix it either A) your summon will have a weak point or B) the attack will be weakened by about 2.5C.
The Village leader looks surprised at your generosity, since you met him mere minutes ago and are almost-literally giving him money. or maybe he's just surprised you have more. you aren't quite sure.
[1/5] Village Leader: ehm... alright, so the other one is...
[2/5] Village Leader: The short version is we need people, such as you, to go through a magic evil fortress and kill all the monsters to keep the from growing.
[3/5] Village Leader: The fortresses have a lot of valuable objects in them, but they're very deadly. It's not urgent, so I think you should prepare as best you can before going... if you want to go at all, that is. I understand you might not want to.
[4/5] Village Leader: if you want to know more, stick around here and I can explain what else i know.
[5/5] Village Leader: regardless, take this promissory note as thanks for what you've given so far. the shops will accept it as being 80 emeralds.

alright. the eldritch being is now in your debt so that's cool.
do you really expect it to take you 10 minutes to deal with the snowmen? have some faith in yourself, man.

I try experimenting with different ways on transferring power. Like... MANA CRYSTALS! That would be perfect. Question is, how do I make it work... Ah, of course! I work on electric elemental receivers and transmitters, allowing the weakness to disappear or be significantly less crippling.
I ask him about the [that image thing]. Then I check out the shops.
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
So... I'll take this time to give one of the snowmen a random curse.

So... The Snowman transforms into an ancient Snow-Behemoth, but he also is now nocturnal and needs to find a cave at day or he'll get a sunburn, dazzled and very very tired.
Perry's Shadiamond is reduced to that state where he had 10 AC but no crit/dodge, and will not increment for 4 turns.
yes, they are. shadiamond is how much of your shadow has been turned into diamonds by the radiation that does that. everything but the very edge of your body is in shadow, so this equates to how much of you is made of diamonds instead of hoomin flesh steak.
Radiation enforcer is a machine which increases the power of radiation where it's aimed at, like a radiation-strengthening laser gun. it was originally made to get rid of Shadiamond, but has been stolen and turned into a weapon. you roll to delay the problem by being oblivious... it works. but you still have to deal with it before next turn, or ignore it and turn into solid diamond.
EISHALONTURN
the eishalon points its staff at Aiesenberg and Perry, doing (40-10) damage to perry, and applying Gloom to Aeisenberg. neither misses.
weakness neutralized!
your next problem? Shadiamond radiation! complex machinery does not work very well when large chunks of it have been turned into a latice of carbon atoms.

The manifest reabsorbs the other Retainer.
a chunk of stone disappears in the shelter, dealing another 120 damage. crusher does his best to repair it, but he can't keep up with the rate of vanishment.
The Godmodder takes a black egg and drops it in a rift to somewhere. then he does it again with a smaller egg.
The Deva is very impatient.upsetness. miss and dodge rise to 15.

to be fair it is a pretty descriptive name.
You check out the shops!
nobody uses emeralds, only promisory notes- probably since they build stuff out of them.
Armor names: emerald-veined plate armored leggings enhanced firewalkers darkness-imbued legging (level 42) (all of them are very expensive, but you think you can buy one or two if you sell the bows and hammer.
The only comercially-available wand is level 28, scroll merchant's stock is all charred and unreliable, a pink wool merchant sells pink wool for 256 promissory note emeralds (192 after thank-you note) and will buy pink wool for 64. There's an Egg merchant, who sells chicken eggs for 6 emeralds apiece, vulture eggs for 3 apiece, pigeon eggs for 4, a pitch-black egg he found the other day for 16, and a Soav egg for 64. there's a bottle-seller, who sells corruption-resistant bottles for 8 apiece, a mushroom man who sells mushrooms for 8, an apple merchant whos managed to cultivate apples in a plot surrounded on all sides by emeralds (16 apiece), a friend of his found a way to farm potatos (10 apiece),a feather merchant who sells you feathers from a variety of specieses (prices vary between 2 and 16 emeralds per feather). there is a man who will buy monster chunks and bits and bobs, and one who sells all colors of wool but pink, as well as a variety of leather. (10 emeralds, but the leather is as costly as pink wool). there is a man selling trinkets: 3 types of bracelets, 1 granting +4% loot and -2% spell damage, another increases your strength and earth damage but lowers walk speed,and a third gives you +2 dex +1% walk ad +1% thunder damage. he also has a special offer of a used beast pawn, which raises your air/earth defence by a bit, your air/earth damage by 2%, walk speed by 3%, and +12% for melee, but gives -5 to health regen. all trinkets cost around 80 -120 emeralds.
there is a man in bloody robes with a face of black who calls himself a dungeon scroll merchant, but asks for things you've never heard of nor seen, and a man who sells a variety of potions. a very wide variety: 3 types for healing (varying in strength, each hast 3 uses, each costs 6 emeralds, potions of attribute enhancement (granting you +27 in a given stat when drunk for 6 posts (2 uses each) and giving another related buff (72 emeralds each), and potions of mana, which regenerate you an extra 30 mana over the course of 3 rounds, and cost you 120 emeralds. the people who buy things will offer on average 14 emeralds for the wood bows(each),16 for the bluestone one, an average of 30 for the hammer, and a bit over 100 for the leggings. the dagger averages 20. the stick averages 0. the wand averages Several Hundred, but you feel like that would be a scam if you took it.
there's some guy covered in purple glitter who calls himself an 'item identifier'. he has a beard and you think he might be just a bit unhinged.
beast jaw color has been changed because i just realized cyan was in fact already taken. i have no idea why i didn't notice before.

This snowman is now a neutral mob. don't bother him and he won't bother you!
there are still 3 snowmen.
their snowballs really sting... you are now lightly injured.
(Oh and since this is pretty much a sidequest, it now counts as a sidequest, so you get one post per sidequest dop instead of 3 per maindop.)
II sell the bows, the hammer, the dagger, and the stick too because the stick is useless. Then I go wander somewhere to kill things. (I just go in a random direction from the town)
