I gain more power, and lose more control! (I choose the Gilded Filigree)
In honor of the Anti-Taxman, all three of my actions are dedicated to him. The Faxman and I, bury the Anti-Taxman. We then hold a short funeral for him. I then Place the Blessed Monumental Whetstone on his grave, as a gravestone knowing he will protect it. I then inscribe this onto it:
Anti-Taxman
Anti Hyphen Taxman AT 230- AT 255
He sacrificed his life to protect us
His courage never faltered
We shall never forget
(None for you Taxman!)
Blessing Protects You from the Taxman
You mourn the Anti Hyphen Taxman. It is a bitter affair, until, as you place the Whetstone on his grave, a light shines from it and a ghostly apparition of the Anti Hyphen Taxman appears! It's like the world itself was touched by your mourning, saving him from some of the negative side effects of death! Though the Anti Hyphen Taxman no longer has a body, you can still hang out or talk or something, and he bestows upon you the Blessing Of Anti Hyphen Taxation, making you immune to Taxes forever! With the side benefit that if you are ever wrongfully made to pay taxes, you have the right to receive twice the taxed value in compensation. Additionally, by the power of his Middle Name being Hyphen, The Anti-Taxman's spirit grants you 2 progress on both of your charges!
"Okay, okay, Taxman I see you. Seriously, are you so much dependent on other's notice to stay alive?"
I continue to do my work. I choose the "Arakadicuspawn" effect, knowing sometimes let other entity to share the burden on casting is a wise choice.
But it is dangerous to only choose 1 entity to act as the main infusion since it can have a chance to backlash and damage me. Although it is possible to negate the chance of backlash by pacifying the soul using code magic, it will be utterly useless to the staff. I see there is undead in the fields, so I took on a skeleton, capture its long-dead soul, and put that soul container on the other end where I put the spider-infused iron in.
I then see that I arrive at some problem while inscribing runes on the staff. It is not common to inscribe on a 3d surface since it is usually enough to put a block of whatever stone stuck in the staff and inscribe on the stone instead. Yet, I can cast and effect a more powerful effect using a 3d inscription. I then make a simple protractor using a sharp wood, strings and some coal on the other end. I then use the coal to put a black line and then use a knife to inscribe the black line. Since all points are on an equal distance this way, this circle can be used as a magic inscription.
I then make the handle of such staff. I used some strings bonded together and encircle a small portion using such strings, ensuring that I can hold it long with ease.
The Taxman politely states that it is precisely the opposite, and he is dependant on being ignored both to collect taxes and, in the long run, remain alive. You gain the Arkadicuspawn effect! You successfully create Circular(for a certain definition of circular) runes, gaining 0.2 progress. but... what about the other ones? triangles and stars?
My charge finishes! To signify its completion, I juggle ONE HUNDRED flaming chainsaws! Everything's going well when suddenly... I DROP ONE
In the resulting chaos, I trip over my own legs, break one arm, dislocate my shoulder, rupture my appendix, snap my neck, get my hands ripped off, and get at least three compound fractures. I get better, though. In the time it takes me to get better, The Infinite gains a player action and Duplicity gains an additional 5 Charge. I *believe* both go off before they take their actions, but because Duplicity isn't quite finished, Leader won't be able to use the extra action.
With my remaining 1.5 Actions, I give Sky High 10 HP and 5 Attack.
~~~
The Inventor: Hmm... The Inventor: I could make metal armor if I had more metal. The Inventor: Oh, there are a lot of chainsaws over there... The Inventor: ...Chainmail Armor it is!
The Inventor begins gathering up chains from the no-longer-flaming chainsaws.
He also attacks the Gobligoup, (hopefully) killing it.
~~~
Duplicity completes. Leader feels his inner power splitting into two... He now has two player actions every turn.
If he can use the second action this turn, he gains 20 HP. With his remaining 0.9 actions he starts a new charge called Protectorate. He also finishes off he ih.
~~~
The Messenger of the Infinite, not knowing what to do with the not-Grist, simply waits nearby. The creeping Infinite grows over the not-Grist, in case it becomes important later.
The Infinite gains 30 HP and 10 Attack. It attacks the Darkness Given Form.
Complications finishes as you stated! It also produces a small chargeamusingness bonus which is shunted over to The Inventors Makeshift Armor charge, granting it 1 additional progress! The Infinite grows over the not-Grist, and notices that though it can cover it, the substance itself remains incorruptible.
Sky High attacks the Gobligoup, killing it! Leader attacks he ih, killing it! The Darkness Given Form trains, but warily, watching the Messenger. it gains 2 attack. The Monstrosity attacks [1d3; 1] Sky High, dealing 26 damage! The Stygian Beast is swift and terrible, unaffected by the gravity barrier any more then it would be by a light breeze, and [1d7:5] Attacks the Messenger of the Infinite, dealing 24 damage! Not enough to out-compete the Regenerative prowess of the Infinite, but its prowess is growing. The Messenger attacks the Darkness Given Form! It deflects a fraction of the blow's strength, but most strikes true, dealing 19 damage. he Taxman is procrastinating!... again! The Humongous Wooden Duck attacks... a worm! it eats the worm, gaining 10 attack! What? there wasn't a worm? yes there was, it's right... oh, the duck swallowed already. I suppose we will never know if there was truly a worm.

I've met the Taxman before (or at least one of a very similar personality). He once claimed that "The tax of life is death." Now, I'm not sure if he was being completely serious with that statement or not, but I think the Taxman was being serious. After all, his best friend is the Lawyer, and the Lawyer does not joke, unless the Lawyer is evil. No offense.
As I was saying, the Tax of life is death, so in order to enter the game and live, death. And considering such, I boop the Taxman. He falls over, and goes sliding on thin ice. Unfortunately for the Taxman, I found a group of people who understand the inherent nature of his game. Sharks. Sharks, Pinatas, and Leeches. I hate leeches. I'm going to keep this short so no one has to consider the possible existence of such horrid creatures. It's the wrong month for ice skating, and unsurprisingly, the thin ice breaks. Maybe go ice skating january, and definitely do it in a colder climate. You wouldn't want the happy sun to come down and warm your frozen cold heart up, would you? Luckily, the temperature balance is perfect, except for ice skating. And sharks. Sharks are nice. And it's kind of Pinata down here without many parties. Surprise, it's a Pinata. Just don't get hypothermia in the freezing cold water and accidently smack one open, who knows what's inside! I don't even know, but fortune favors the bold, and a taxman who tends to hide away on their daily life accidently opening one up sounds like the exact opposite of "bold", indeed. Did I mention the sharks? Let's not talk about the leeches, and instead hope they all die in the cold, which is unlikely, because they live despite it, but maybe I'm wrong. Not like I'm going to look that up. Yuck.
Now, time to play a game of going through a history textbook to try and locate lost entities from so so long ago. Truly, this game is such a scholastic pursuit. A fitting tax.
Instead of starting up my next charge, I give Sky High 40 HP and then blast the Bloodthirst Monstrosity with a BEAM OF SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS which pierces through its defenses like butter. ...er, like its defenses are butter, not like the beam is butter.

Yvonne
[10/10] Basic Manipulation Staff + 1.32
[1.68/15] Insertion + 1.68
Oh, so Pythagoras was one of the hidden subjects, and Yvonne didn't know it quite well. But simple constructions are not that hard to achieve.
She made a temporary straightedge from a piece of bundled grass so that she could draw a straight line.
For the triangle, she inscribed a short line, then set the protractor to the length of the line. She then draws a circle of the same length as the short line she drew on both ends of the line, which creates two intersection point. She chooses the upper intersection and inscribed lines from each end to the intersection point. Ta-da and she got a triangle.
Stars are harder to make. She has no choice but to search the nature for help. Luckily, she remembered one thing that could help her - sea stars. She did some basic summoning and got herself one sea star. She inscribes the stars according to the shape of sea stars. The sea star desummoned just after she completed her inscription, which is a breather for her.
The Staff was finally completed.
She then prepares another project, to make permission elevation easier.
It is difficult to find ingredients for such, and a significant bit of time is required to prepare the command block from nothing. She used chalk to do a basic combinational alter, and puts ingredients - diamonds, redstone onto the alter. If she is lucky, I can get fragments of command block the 1st try - but it's luck.

You attack the Taxman, dealing 40 damage! 32 of it hits the shield, but the remaining 8 reduces his health by 6$! You subsequently find yourself taxed by his taxing-people-who-hit-him powers, going 6$ in debt! You look up old entities! do you find what you're looking for? I wouldn't know, since you haven't specified specific lost entities.

Hm, how will he interweave them? does he have the pliers and time necessary to bend them open and place them overlapping, then close them for all the chains? (The Spear is... sort of borderline, I suppose? It's not a ranged attack, but the hands aren't damaged. I think I'll convert the retaliation into attack debuffs at a vastly reduced rate.) Leader opens a portal... it's hard to tell, but he thinks the destination got mixed up. unhealthy crimson light is shining through...

Faxman Rebellion(7.2/10)
You have a lovely conversation with Anti (that is his first name, and it's a bit odd to call someone by their full name all the time, so I'm using Anti from here on) about the process of enchanting and how relevant GP costs really are. his stance was that they're mostly real, as opposed to the Taxman, which has made many a long and rambling post about how GP costs are primarily placebo and so taxes naturally reduce enchantment costs by making each Gold Piece more scarce and so more mentally salient. Taxman is, of course, wrong, since the studies on the topic were very generously paid for, making the effective GP cost of everything involved higher. The Faxman starts growing angrier, but as he listens, he finds himself fascinated by the discourse on the process of enchanting and walks over to listen.

"Taxman, I see you. Do you want me to boot you out of existence?"
//In some cases that's a valid way to go around it, but the charge was too small for you to do them all on separate turns before it finished. You successfully inscribe Triangles! part of that is accidental- the bundled grass is able to bend, so by pulling it taut you get a straight line conforming to the shape of the core, where an ordinary ruler would be cumbersome at best- but in any case, you gain your choice of +1.5 Charge Progress (which will carry over into Insertion) or 1 Memory Slot (a mystery effect worth substantially more then 5 Charges, useful for shenanigans and moderately fitting to my understanding of what you mean with Code Magic.). Also, what do you want the Staff to do other then the Arcadicusspawn and possibly Memory Slot effects?
Sky High and Leader work together to attack the Bloodthirst Monstrosity, dealing 261 damage! this is enough to down the Monstrosity! The Monstrosities Boiling Blood slowly eats away at Sky High's Spear, reducing its attack by 3... Due to order of actions, least splintering also activates, granting Leader a splintered fragment of a bloodsoaked essence! The Spear can be repaired using repair scraps, whatever that means. The Darkness Given Form continues training with a focus on taking hits. [1d20:16]The training session goes fairly well, granting it 20 more MHP and 3 more attack. The Darkness Given Soul shadowboxes a second training session which goes exceedingly poorly[1d20:2]. Though torn limb from limb and vitally diminished, the Bloodthirst Monstrosity holds the investiture of Skadu Duiwole and rises a second time, a rattling remnant of the monstrosity it once was. Much of its threat is gone, but not all. The Skeletal Revenant attacks Sky High, bypassing the damage resistance and dealing 12 damage! The Stygian Beast joins in, dealing 18 more damage! the Messenger of the Infinite gains 30 HP and 10 attack, because the attack generation upgrade happened this turn not last turn. It also attacks the Stygian Beast, which goes tumbling with a shriek like blades across metal before catching its footing, and takes 35 damage! Taxman spends most of his Charges - 0.6 of them- on refilling his Shield slightly! he Taxman then procrastinates again. The Humongous Wooden Duck attacks Sky High, doing 10 damage! The Godmodder drinks 7 jugs of sugary soda and starts running around on a sugar high, rapidly constructing a tiling grid of bathroom stalls around his entities and himself!

I listen and every once in a while I talk about my favorite conspiracy theories, the weather, and gossip about powerful Archmages and heroes.
"Oh, Anti! Did you hear Mordenkainen broke up? And apparently, Tasha put some sovereign glue in her hair, and had to go to a cleric!"
Anti then looks at me wondering whether my mind is still intact or not. He's leaning towards the, Thalai lost it side, but isn't entirely sure.
I continue working on the knives!
Animating Kitchen Knives (18.01/50)
When the Faxman comes over to listen, I shoo him away and tell him to go back to his "work". When he tells me he doesn't have any, I pretend to ignore him and wave him away. He grows even angrier.
Alright, I am sick and tired of carrying the OG side!
I OFFER A DEAL FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE OG SIDE. IF THIS DEAL IS NOT RESOLVED WITHIN THE NEXT TWO TURNS, SKY HIGH AND LEADER WILL BECOME NEUTRAL AND BEGIN ATTACKING WHATEVER I WANT THEM TO. THE DEAL IS AS FOLLOWS: YOU MUST EITHER SUMMON AN ENTITY WITHIN THE NEXT TWO TURNS OR DEDICATE SOME OF YOUR ACTIONS TO HEALING SKY HIGH. PREFERABLY THE FIRST ONE.
A bit forceful, I know, but sometimes it takes a bit of a shove to get people to start moving. ANYWAY! That alone won't be enough to keep me safe these next few turns, so I also throw a TARGETING FLARE at the Humongous Wooden Duck - its red smoke forces the Skeletal Revenant and Stygian Beast to attack it - in spite of the gravity barrier! It's only fair, Godmodder - You've left me stuck fighting a losing battle and now it's time to repay the favor!

The Inventor begins using his iron shaping tool to shape the tight chainsaw chains into looser, chainmail-type chains. It'll take some time to do...
In a moment where he's between shaping chains, he attacks the Stygian Beast.
~~~
Leader recognizes this portal instantly - it's Centauri's homeworld, the center of a bright red star. A black hand comes through the portal, presenting a glowing orb. Leader absorbs it and feels stronger...
Leader gains 10 armor, 5 HP regen, and 10 Attack.
Leader tests out his new power on the Stygian Beast.

The Messenger of the Infinite continues its spread. It is building up for something big...
The Infinite gains 30 HP and 15 Attack. It attacks the Stygian Beast, or if it's dead, the Skeletal Revenant.
"I'm not quite certain what the Staff could take me - in Code Magic it is important to stick to the training, not a preference; you take a bug, an insertion point and then leverages it. You still leverage a bug that is not your speciality. Although saying that, permission management is one of my favourite exploits."
She doesn't think she's lucky, cause her alchemy isn't paying off that much. But nevertheless, with enough time, successful alchemy is a certainty. She carefully takes the command block fragment being summoned in the world.
She needed a container for the command block fragment, directly using it will mean lots of harm aimed at the user. She could feasibly create a command block fragment bomb, but that's not what she wants for today. She took the iron that she found and smelted it. Forging the metal part of the iron is hard; since she isn't a toolsmith. But what she could do is to command forces to forge it. Using the Basic Manipulation Staff, she commanded process after process to forge the iron into a ring. She then bound the iron ring and the command block fragment by attuning to the fragment and command it to float on top of the iron ring. After some time, the bound process is completed and she disconnected from the fragment.
The fragment floats above the iron ring safely. She then needed to infuse magic to the whole ring to make the ring magical, not only the command block fragment part. She reconnects to the ring, which is now in one piece with the fragment. Inserting mana into an item is not that hard, but it takes time and time is important right now. She does the basic ritual and put the ring on a pedestal - that way, the ring will safely be charged without the possibility of BOOM. Yet, it takes time. She used some barrier around the pedestal to allow it to charge undisturbed.
"Taxman, if you come one step closer you will be booted out. Understand?" The Taxman cannot charge me - since by their definition they can't steal charge unless I haven't been pay attention to them. Yet, Taxman is still an entity and would be at least a little bit angry. The Ring, by this event, may also capture "hate" mana - which makes offensive use a little bit easier.
I listen and every once in a while I talk about my favorite conspiracy theories, the weather, and gossip about powerful Archmages and heroes.
"Oh, Anti! Did you hear Mordenkainen broke up? And apparently, Tasha put some sovereign glue in her hair, and had to go to a cleric!"
Anti then looks at me wondering whether my mind is still intact or not. He's leaning towards the, Thalai lost it side, but isn't entirely sure.
I continue working on the knives!
Animating Kitchen Knives (18.01/50)
When the Faxman comes over to listen, I shoo him away and tell him to go back to his "work". When he tells me he doesn't have any, I pretend to ignore him and wave him away. He grows even angrier.
Faxman Rebellion (8.2/10)
To your surprise, Anti engages with your gossip with a modest quantity of vigor, noting that a lot of Archmages had similar problems in the wake of a series of wooly mammoth hair transplants which occurred on this very battlefield! Mordenkainen wasn't part of the hair shenanigan, he says, but he's heard Thalai saw a symbol of insanity and failed the save, can you believe it? ...hey, wait a second...
You wave off the the Faxman while Anti is muffling a chuckle. The Faxmans anger grows - +0.8 charge progress or upgrade to Enraged Devotion! The Faxman stomps off...

Alright, I am sick and tired of carrying the OG side!
I OFFER A DEAL FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE OG SIDE. IF THIS DEAL IS NOT RESOLVED WITHIN THE NEXT TWO TURNS, SKY HIGH AND LEADER WILL BECOME NEUTRAL AND BEGIN ATTACKING WHATEVER I WANT THEM TO. THE DEAL IS AS FOLLOWS: YOU MUST EITHER SUMMON AN ENTITY WITHIN THE NEXT TWO TURNS OR DEDICATE SOME OF YOUR ACTIONS TO HEALING SKY HIGH. PREFERABLY THE FIRST ONE.
A bit forceful, I know, but sometimes it takes a bit of a shove to get people to start moving. ANYWAY! That alone won't be enough to keep me safe these next few turns, so I also throw a TARGETING FLARE at the Humongous Wooden Duck - its red smoke forces the Skeletal Revenant and Stygian Beast to attack it - in spite of the gravity barrier! It's only fair, Godmodder - You've left me stuck fighting a losing battle and now it's time to repay the favor!

The Inventor begins using his iron shaping tool to shape the tight chainsaw chains into looser, chainmail-type chains. It'll take some time to do...
In a moment where he's between shaping chains, he attacks the Stygian Beast.
~~~
Leader recognizes this portal instantly - it's Centauri's homeworld, the center of a bright red star. A black hand comes through the portal, presenting a glowing orb. Leader absorbs it and feels stronger...
Leader gains 10 armor, 5 HP regen, and 10 Attack.
Leader tests out his new power on the Stygian Beast.
~~~
The Messenger of the Infinite continues its spread. It is building up for something big...
The Infinite gains 30 HP and 15 Attack. It attacks the Stygian Beast, or if it's dead, the Skeletal Revenant.
You Proclaim Things Loudly! You then throw a targeting flare at the Humongous Wooden Duck! it functions as you described. The Inventor does that. nothing particularly special happens in that regard. Leader 'recognizes' the portal. it flickers and switches to totally what you said and not somewhere else, but you get the feeling it was originally somewhere very different. The Infinite continues spreading... It runs into a problem. once it goes far enough down, it runs into an almost-impenetrable layer of scalding-hot and razor-sharp stones, and horizontal expansion is limited by a river on two sides, some very zealous farmers and warriors with magical scythes on another, and a mass of fire and flesh on the third.
"I'm not quite certain what the Staff could take me - in Code Magic it is important to stick to the training, not a preference; you take a bug, an insertion point and then leverages it. You still leverage a bug that is not your speciality. Although saying that, permission management is one of my favourite exploits."
She doesn't think she's lucky, cause her alchemy isn't paying off that much. But nevertheless, with enough time, successful alchemy is a certainty. She carefully takes the command block fragment being summoned in the world.
She needed a container for the command block fragment, directly using it will mean lots of harm aimed at the user. She could feasibly create a command block fragment bomb, but that's not what she wants for today. She took the iron that she found and smelted it. Forging the metal part of the iron is hard; since she isn't a toolsmith. But what she could do is to command forces to forge it. Using the Basic Manipulation Staff, she commanded process after process to forge the iron into a ring. She then bound the iron ring and the command block fragment by attuning to the fragment and command it to float on top of the iron ring. After some time, the bound process is completed and she disconnected from the fragment.
The fragment floats above the iron ring safely. She then needed to infuse magic to the whole ring to make the ring magical, not only the command block fragment part. She reconnects to the ring, which is now in one piece with the fragment. Inserting mana into an item is not that hard, but it takes time and time is important right now. She does the basic ritual and put the ring on a pedestal - that way, the ring will safely be charged without the possibility of BOOM. Yet, it takes time.

Alright, well... you can choose the staffs (non-arcadicusspawn, non-memory-slot) abilities whenever, I guess. You try making an iron ring. But everyone knows a proper iron ring needs more then just iron: it needs cryonic fish oil! how will you handle that? Additionally, the Command Block Fragment is missing a texture and item ID, which makes looking at it unpleasant; this is problematic for the forging/crafting process.
Sky High attacks, bringing down 1 of the 3 healthbars and wounding another! Leader attacks, but is unable to fully down a healthbar. The Darkness Given Form keeps training and has an ehhhhh session, gaining 10 (M)HP and 2 Attack! The Soul continues too, increasing attack by 5. The Skeletal Revenant rattles out a challenge and strikes the Humongous Wooden duck, destroying 6 Bathroom Stall Walls! The Stygian Beast does likewise, destroying the remaining 7 Bathroom Stall Walls and dealing 19 damage to the Humongous Wooden Duck! The Messenger of the Infinite attacks the Stygian Beast, bringing it down to exactly one health. he Taxman keeps procrastinating. The Humongous Wooden Duck caws out a honk of duckly proportions, dealing 10 damage to Sky High! The Godmodder looks at the Taxman. He's really not collecting many taxes nowadays. It's like he Taxman doesn't even care about his job! Well, not quite. The Godmodder knows he Taxman is very devoted to this job. but still, the Godmodder can't keep paying him to do nothing, even if his salary is 0! So the Godmodder fires he Taxman... and then rehires him as The Saxman! It's a new job with new responsibilities! For one thing, as the person in Godmodder Company Co with the name closest to 'The Taxman', The Saxman must take up all the Taxmans responsibilities! And, since he is the Saxman, he must play an encouraging Sax! The Sax is also very profitable, granting the Saxman an additional 50$.

The Messenger of the Infinite seems to have a confused expression on its face. How would water stop its expansion?
To demonstrate how simple it is to spread across water, The Infinite does just that, its creeping vines growing through the river and on to the other side.
The Infinite gains 30 HP and 15 Attack. It attacks the Darkness Given Form.
ahhh.... I see the half-completed ring, floating atop the pedestal. The mana collection is complete.
The skinning is easy to fix, but for maximum confusability I chose a difficult solution: I took the original emerald skin and then made the centre portion transparent. I then command the command block to show whatever it sees in the center portion, like a glass. When I look at it closely, it looks like a kaleidoscope.
and the what? cryonic fish oil? that's a little bit of problem, but not much - I dig a small pool of water, and then wait for fish to spawn. I dissect them and take away the heat energies in the fish oil using the manipulation staff. Voila, now I have cryonic fish oil for the ring.

You may choose their alignment, which will default to [H]. The Faxman won't die this round, since that would waste the 8 Charges. Your Giant Book slams into the Stygian Beast, killing it! The Skeletal Revenant is in the same general area as well, taking 74 damage, enhanced by the power of... hm, I'm not sure if I'm reading this right, it says the power of 'ripping off your own body parts and giving them to your friends'. well, something along those lines!

indeed, The Inventor is shaping chains. Leader opens a portal. the destination seems... fleshy. It's also very hot, like it's on fire minus the luminescence. Well, the reason depends on the river and the method. growing on top of the water is obviously problematic because the water isn't solid. Growing in the water is a problem for different reasons for different rivers. One of the two bounding your expansion is suffused with Cold, which makes expansion slow and, in some cases, impossible; in The Infinite's case, it's only slow, but that's still enough to avoid. the other river, on the other hand, seems superficially safe, but exudes a distinct sense of decay and danger.

"Taxman, I see you again."
Alright. The Manipulation Staff now adds a 100% effectiveness boost to one Actions worth of magical actions per round and has a resistance to theft equivalent to 120 HP, in addition to Arcadicusspawn and Memory Slot effects of course. The effectiveness boost does not apply to charging. You give the Command Block a skin that looks like ordinary emeralds. It still doesn't fit in, but at least it's not a seething purple-black mass... +0.2 Charge Progress! You then obtain cryonic fish oil! albeit, there's a river fairly close by so you grab the fish from there, it's faster. gain your choice of either Traditionally Crafted, Frigid engraving, or +1 Charge Progress! the other effects are more potent but uncontrolled, as is standard. Technically, the Taxman is now known as the Saxman, but he is still legally named Taxman until the forms get processed.
EoRR Sky High attacks the Skeletal Revenant, dealing 10 damage and killing it! For the last time; this time, its corpse stays down. Leader doesn't know what to attack, so he doesn't. The Dames attack [1d4:1] The Messenger of the Infinite, dealing a collective 10 damage! The Darkness Given Form sees death oncoming and... well, it doesn't not blink. It does, in fact, blink. several times. Then it notices it has enough health to survive with 1 HP, so it keeps training, it has a good but not perfect session, gaining 20 HP and 4 Attack. The Darkness Given Soul shadowboxes another training session which gives it an additional 6 Attack.
Since the Skeletal Revenant and Stygian Beast both went down, for the last times, no hostile entities act. The Messenger of the Infinite attacks for 60 damage, then gains 30 HP and 15 attack! The Saxman uses his Sax attack, playing an uplifting tune that lets all his allies work at their best! including the inanimate ones! The Bathroom Stall Walls all gain 1 HP each, and the Duck gains 5 Attack! The Infinite already acted, so it doesn't get a boost. The Saxman procrastinates on the rest of his duties like the Saxman he is. The Humongous Wooden Duck attacks, dealing 15 damage to Sky High, then waddles to a different section of the Bathroom Stalls so the Godmodder-shielding Bathroom Stall Walls are now shielding it, too. The Godmodder sets up the vending machine. It's a machine that vends things... at high speeds. without anyone putting money into it. it's also pretty good at finding weak points, and aiming at them, despite the lack of any mechanism to do so. luckily, it has only a finite quantity of ammunition.

watch as the Faxman reveals its '5 attack' meant 5 charges of attack or something and starts dealing 100 damage a strike. you gain 0.2 charges of progress for having delayed Forgot Something, an action somewhat resembling forgetting it! the Inventor continues. The apparatus works! though, the amount of heat it absorbs isn't reliable, which can be problematic for engineering. +0.3 charges of progress! The Messenger examines the river... despite the examination, nothing crops up as a reason. It seems like an ordinary river... there's some gudgeon and a few salmon, but both seem ordinary; the river is thinner then the other river, but that makes sense from the geography. It's very full, but not in a suspicious way. it still exudes that aura, but there's no clear reason for it.

But the Infinite is spreading everywhere, so that's a good default. 5 damage to the Infinite! The Messenger of the Infinite attacks the Darkness Given Form. The Darkness Given form responds to the oncoming fist of stone by striking the surface of the world itself with a firmament-bluearm-joint, the pane of the real splintering and shattering around it for a moment like the world is but an incorporeal play. Unfortunately, it rolls a 1 on the d20 timing roll, so it does this magical maneuver well before the Infinite actually hits it, and the world repairs in time for the Darkness Given Form to be smashed into a paste, taking 75 damage ...with a pop and a pop-up the Darkness given Form is reformed, at the cost of one Soul Point, right before The Godmodder would've done a thing. The Saxman Saxes! this encourages the Duck and Vending Machine some more, granting them both 10 HP! The Saxman keeps procrastinating on everything else. The Humongous Wooden duck attacks the Dames, killing all but 1 of them! The Vending Machine fires 1d3:3 shots at once and rolls 98+50, 93+50, and 43+50 on accuracy, dealing a critical 10+10+(noncritical: 5) damage! this damage is directed at Sky High, who has the dubious honour of being the lowest-DR entity who actually does things on a regular basis.
The Godmodder decides to use I'll decide on this later. funnily enough, even though the charge did originally have a decided-on use when it started, it's been so long The Godmodder forgot about it! so he pastes something vaaaaguely related onto it and sends it out, having, indeed, decided on this later. The Godmodder summons Lord English, an noble-looking Englishman with a small moustache and large ears made entirely out of stained glass. He then uses his action to reinforce the Faxman's fingernails - giving it +20 attack- before pointing out that, since there were bathroom stall walls everywhere around his entities until just now, it's obviously not going to be near any of His stuff.

Animating Kitchen Knives (21.01/50)
I then remember. I remember why vending machines scare me.
It was long ago, when I was just a young boy, in his village. Helping my father fish. We went and caught great catches and we eked out a meager, but happy life. Then that day happened. That horrible day. We were out fishing, and my father... he decided to go for a swim. He swam around the bottom and saw a cool fish. One he had never seen before. Amazed at the fish it suddenly started swimming away from him, and he tried to follow it. But then... His foot got caught on a rock. Blood came spurting out, and he couldn't release his foot. He started drowning. Yelling for help underwater. I could see the bubbles, see him struggling but I couldn't hear him. I-I didn't know that he was in pain. Thankfully, he escaped the rock and swam to the surface. He found a log drifting in the ocean, and he grabbed on. He breathed a great sigh of relief. He almost died! Wait... Why is this log... leathery? Why is this log grey? Why does this log have a branch on it, sticking out that is in the shape of a triangle? Most important of all... Why did it smell like it would taste good in a soup? The log opened it's mouth, filled with teeth and bit my father in half. It was a deadly shark. I ran away, crying.
The next day, my father was in the newspaper. the title read like so:
Man killed in violent shark attack! At least he wasn't killed by a dangerous vending machine!
I kept reading on. The newspaper detailed his death, then seemed to completely forget about him. It started talking about how more people are killed in vending machine attacks, and that sharks can't even compare to the danger a vending machine wields. It scared me. Every day, I saw vending machines just around the corner, sneaking up to me. Each, menacing. Each, trying to hunt me down.
How do you think I got my power? My magic? My fighting? Well, my town is now known as, "The town with no vending machines" I. I surpassed the vending machines. The evil vending machines. Trying to sell me soda, candy, or even the dreaded electronics. I destroyed them all, and took their power.
That day. That day scarred me forever. This vending machine has to die.
I expend two actions, and brutally slam at the vending machine with my giant book!
Using 0.2 of an action, I stick a thumbtack in the Faxman's leg, causing him extreme pain. The other 2.8 Actions go into charging. (Still not sure what I forgot...)
~~~
The Inventor continues shaping chains. It's a long and arduous process and it's beginning to give him deja vu.
In a moment where he's between shaping chains, he attacks the Faxman.
~~~
Leader waits patiently for the device to continue absorbing energy.
Leader attacks the Faxman.

The Messenger of the Infinite crushes a nearby Glowbloom in its hand and scatters its pollen, allowing it to reach the other side of the river and allowing The Infinite to continue growing.
The Infinite gains 30 HP and 15 Attack. It attacks the Faxman.
You mourn the Anti Hyphen Taxman. It is a bitter affair, until, as you place the Whetstone on his grave, a light shines from it and a ghostly apparition of the Anti Hyphen Taxman appears! It's like the world itself was touched by your mourning, saving him from some of the negative side effects of death! Though the Anti Hyphen Taxman no longer has a body, you can still hang out or talk or something, and he bestows upon you the Blessing Of Anti Hyphen Taxation, making you immune to Taxes forever! With the side benefit that if you are ever wrongfully made to pay taxes, you have the right to receive twice the taxed value in compensation.
Additionally, by the power of his Middle Name being Hyphen, The Anti-Taxman's spirit grants you 2 progress on both of your charges!
The Taxman politely states that it is precisely the opposite, and he is dependant on being ignored both to collect taxes and, in the long run, remain alive.
You gain the Arkadicuspawn effect!
You successfully create Circular(for a certain definition of circular) runes, gaining 0.2 progress. but... what about the other ones? triangles and stars?
Complications finishes as you stated! It also produces a small chargeamusingness bonus which is shunted over to The Inventors Makeshift Armor charge, granting it 1 additional progress!

The Infinite grows over the not-Grist, and notices that though it can cover it, the substance itself remains incorruptible.
Sky High attacks the Gobligoup, killing it! Leader attacks he ih, killing it! The Darkness Given Form trains, but warily, watching the Messenger. it gains 2 attack.
The Monstrosity attacks [1d3; 1] Sky High, dealing 26 damage!
The Stygian Beast is swift and terrible, unaffected by the gravity barrier any more then it would be by a light breeze, and [1d7:5] Attacks the Messenger of the Infinite, dealing 24 damage! Not enough to out-compete the Regenerative prowess of the Infinite, but its prowess is growing.
The Messenger attacks the Darkness Given Form! It deflects a fraction of the blow's strength, but most strikes true, dealing 19 damage.
he Taxman is procrastinating!... again!
The Humongous Wooden Duck attacks... a worm! it eats the worm, gaining 10 attack! What? there wasn't a worm? yes there was, it's right... oh, the duck swallowed already. I suppose we will never know if there was truly a worm.

Thalai: Truly Ludicrous Supply Of partially-enchanted Kitchen Knives. Blessing of Anti Hyphen Taxation!
I've met the Taxman before (or at least one of a very similar personality). He once claimed that "The tax of life is death." Now, I'm not sure if he was being completely serious with that statement or not, but I think the Taxman was being serious. After all, his best friend is the Lawyer, and the Lawyer does not joke, unless the Lawyer is evil. No offense.
As I was saying, the Tax of life is death, so in order to enter the game and live, death. And considering such, I boop the Taxman. He falls over, and goes sliding on thin ice. Unfortunately for the Taxman, I found a group of people who understand the inherent nature of his game. Sharks. Sharks, Pinatas, and Leeches. I hate leeches. I'm going to keep this short so no one has to consider the possible existence of such horrid creatures. It's the wrong month for ice skating, and unsurprisingly, the thin ice breaks. Maybe go ice skating january, and definitely do it in a colder climate. You wouldn't want the happy sun to come down and warm your frozen cold heart up, would you? Luckily, the temperature balance is perfect, except for ice skating. And sharks. Sharks are nice. And it's kind of Pinata down here without many parties. Surprise, it's a Pinata. Just don't get hypothermia in the freezing cold water and accidently smack one open, who knows what's inside! I don't even know, but fortune favors the bold, and a taxman who tends to hide away on their daily life accidently opening one up sounds like the exact opposite of "bold", indeed. Did I mention the sharks? Let's not talk about the leeches, and instead hope they all die in the cold, which is unlikely, because they live despite it, but maybe I'm wrong. Not like I'm going to look that up. Yuck.
Now, time to play a game of going through a history textbook to try and locate lost entities from so so long ago. Truly, this game is such a scholastic pursuit. A fitting tax.

Instead of starting up my next charge, I give Sky High 40 HP and then blast the Bloodthirst Monstrosity with a BEAM OF SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS which pierces through its defenses like butter. ...er, like its defenses are butter, not like the beam is butter.
~~~
The Inventor continues gathering chains - there are a lot to get through.
Then, he notices Leader attacking the Bloodthirst Monstrosity and lends a hand. (...Does a spear count as being barehanded?)
~~~
Leader opens a small portal to another world. It's not large enough for anything to come through just yet, though...
He also opens a larger portal to attack the Bloodthirst Monstrosity.
~~~
The Messenger of the Infinite feels its influence grow... It gains an additional stat every turn.The Infinite gains 30 HP and 15 Attack. It attacks the Stygian Beast.
I move my ludicrous pile of partially enchanted knives near the grave of the Anti-Taxman. I continue working on the knives while casually talking to the Anti-Taxman.

//oof, I thought I have to use 3 actions separately to build the circles, triangles and stars.
Yvonne
[10/10] Basic Manipulation Staff + 1.32
[1.68/15] Insertion + 1.68
Oh, so Pythagoras was one of the hidden subjects, and Yvonne didn't know it quite well. But simple constructions are not that hard to achieve.
She made a temporary straightedge from a piece of bundled grass so that she could draw a straight line.
For the triangle, she inscribed a short line, then set the protractor to the length of the line. She then draws a circle of the same length as the short line she drew on both ends of the line, which creates two intersection point. She chooses the upper intersection and inscribed lines from each end to the intersection point. Ta-da and she got a triangle.
Stars are harder to make. She has no choice but to search the nature for help. Luckily, she remembered one thing that could help her - sea stars. She did some basic summoning and got herself one sea star. She inscribes the stars according to the shape of sea stars. The sea star desummoned just after she completed her inscription, which is a breather for her.
The Staff was finally completed.
She then prepares another project, to make permission elevation easier.
It is difficult to find ingredients for such, and a significant bit of time is required to prepare the command block from nothing. She used chalk to do a basic combinational alter, and puts ingredients - diamonds, redstone onto the alter. If she is lucky, I can get fragments of command block the 1st try - but it's luck.
"Taxman, I see you. Do you want me to boot you out of existence?"
You attack the Taxman, dealing 40 damage! 32 of it hits the shield, but the remaining 8 reduces his health by 6$! You subsequently find yourself taxed by his taxing-people-who-hit-him powers, going 6$ in debt!
You look up old entities! do you find what you're looking for? I wouldn't know, since you haven't specified specific lost entities.
You heal Sky High and deal 75 damage to the Bloodthirst Monstrosity!
The Inventor gathers more of the chains. Hm, how will he interweave them? does he have the pliers and time necessary to bend them open and place them overlapping, then close them for all the chains?
(The Spear is... sort of borderline, I suppose? It's not a ranged attack, but the hands aren't damaged. I think I'll convert the retaliation into attack debuffs at a vastly reduced rate.)
Leader opens a portal... it's hard to tell, but he thinks the destination got mixed up. unhealthy crimson light is shining through...
You have a lovely conversation with Anti (that is his first name, and it's a bit odd to call someone by their full name all the time, so I'm using Anti from here on) about the process of enchanting and how relevant GP costs really are. his stance was that they're mostly real, as opposed to the Taxman, which has made many a long and rambling post about how GP costs are primarily placebo and so taxes naturally reduce enchantment costs by making each Gold Piece more scarce and so more mentally salient. Taxman is, of course, wrong, since the studies on the topic were very generously paid for, making the effective GP cost of everything involved higher.
The Faxman starts growing angrier, but as he listens, he finds himself fascinated by the discourse on the process of enchanting and walks over to listen.
//In some cases that's a valid way to go around it, but the charge was too small for you to do them all on separate turns before it finished.
- Purity embodied.
You successfully inscribe Triangles! part of that is accidental- the bundled grass is able to bend, so by pulling it taut you get a straight line conforming to the shape of the core, where an ordinary ruler would be cumbersome at best- but in any case, you gain your choice of +1.5 Charge Progress (which will carry over into Insertion) or 1 Memory Slot (a mystery effect worth substantially more then 5 Charges, useful for shenanigans and moderately fitting to my understanding of what you mean with Code Magic.).
Also, what do you want the Staff to do other then the Arcadicusspawn and possibly Memory Slot effects?
Sky High and Leader work together to attack the Bloodthirst Monstrosity, dealing 261 damage! this is enough to down the Monstrosity! The Monstrosities Boiling Blood slowly eats away at Sky High's Spear, reducing its attack by 3... Due to order of actions, least splintering also activates, granting Leader a splintered fragment of a bloodsoaked essence! The Spear can be repaired using repair scraps, whatever that means.
The Darkness Given Form continues training with a focus on taking hits. [1d20:16]The training session goes fairly well, granting it 20 more MHP and 3 more attack. The Darkness Given Soul shadowboxes a second training session which goes exceedingly poorly[1d20:2].
Though torn limb from limb and vitally diminished, the Bloodthirst Monstrosity holds the investiture of Skadu Duiwole and rises a second time, a rattling remnant of the monstrosity it once was. Much of its threat is gone, but not all. The Skeletal Revenant attacks Sky High, bypassing the damage resistance and dealing 12 damage!
The Stygian Beast joins in, dealing 18 more damage!
the Messenger of the Infinite gains 30 HP and 10 attack, because the attack generation upgrade happened this turn not last turn. It also attacks the Stygian Beast, which goes tumbling with a shriek like blades across metal before catching its footing, and takes 35 damage!
Taxman spends most of his Charges - 0.6 of them- on refilling his Shield slightly! he Taxman then procrastinates again.
The Humongous Wooden Duck attacks Sky High, doing 10 damage!
The Godmodder drinks 7 jugs of sugary soda and starts running around on a sugar high, rapidly constructing a tiling grid of bathroom stalls around his entities and himself! He then vomits all the sugar back out, dealing 13 damage to Leader when it lands on him.

I OFFER A DEAL FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE OG SIDE. IF THIS DEAL IS NOT RESOLVED WITHIN THE NEXT TWO TURNS, SKY HIGH AND LEADER WILL BECOME NEUTRAL AND BEGIN ATTACKING WHATEVER I WANT THEM TO.

A bit forceful, I know, but sometimes it takes a bit of a shove to get people to start moving. ANYWAY! That alone won't be enough to keep me safe these next few turns, so I also throw a TARGETING FLARE at the Humongous Wooden Duck - its red smoke forces the Skeletal Revenant and Stygian Beast to attack it - in spite of the gravity barrier! It's only fair, Godmodder - You've left me stuck fighting a losing battle and now it's time to repay the favor!

The Inventor begins using his iron shaping tool to shape the tight chainsaw chains into looser, chainmail-type chains. It'll take some time to do...
In a moment where he's between shaping chains, he attacks the Stygian Beast.

Leader gains 10 armor, 5 HP regen, and 10 Attack.
Leader tests out his new power on the Stygian Beast.

Basic Manipulation Staff - Arcadicusspawn, 1x Memory Slot
Yvonne
[4.68/15] Insertion + 3
"I'm not quite certain what the Staff could take me - in Code Magic it is important to stick to the training, not a preference; you take a bug, an insertion point and then leverages it. You still leverage a bug that is not your speciality. Although saying that, permission management is one of my favourite exploits."
She doesn't think she's lucky, cause her alchemy isn't paying off that much. But nevertheless, with enough time, successful alchemy is a certainty. She carefully takes the command block fragment being summoned in the world.
She needed a container for the command block fragment, directly using it will mean lots of harm aimed at the user. She could feasibly create a command block fragment bomb, but that's not what she wants for today. She took the iron that she found and smelted it. Forging the metal part of the iron is hard; since she isn't a toolsmith. But what she could do is to command forces to forge it. Using the Basic Manipulation Staff, she commanded process after process to forge the iron into a ring. She then bound the iron ring and the command block fragment by attuning to the fragment and command it to float on top of the iron ring. After some time, the bound process is completed and she disconnected from the fragment.
The fragment floats above the iron ring safely. She then needed to infuse magic to the whole ring to make the ring magical, not only the command block fragment part. She reconnects to the ring, which is now in one piece with the fragment. Inserting mana into an item is not that hard, but it takes time and time is important right now. She does the basic ritual and put the ring on a pedestal - that way, the ring will safely be charged without the possibility of BOOM. Yet, it takes time. She used some barrier around the pedestal to allow it to charge undisturbed.
"Taxman, if you come one step closer you will be booted out. Understand?" The Taxman cannot charge me - since by their definition they can't steal charge unless I haven't been pay attention to them. Yet, Taxman is still an entity and would be at least a little bit angry. The Ring, by this event, may also capture "hate" mana - which makes offensive use a little bit easier.
To your surprise, Anti engages with your gossip with a modest quantity of vigor, noting that a lot of Archmages had similar problems in the wake of a series of wooly mammoth hair transplants which occurred on this very battlefield! Mordenkainen wasn't part of the hair shenanigan, he says, but he's heard Thalai saw a symbol of insanity and failed the save, can you believe it?
...hey, wait a second...
You wave off the the Faxman while Anti is muffling a chuckle. The Faxmans anger grows - +0.8 charge progress or upgrade to Enraged Devotion! The Faxman stomps off... When he returns to the place he's theoretically supposed to work at, he sees a skeletal figure covered in torn flesh and eyes. It offers the Faxman its hand. Does he take it?
You Proclaim Things Loudly!
You then throw a targeting flare at the Humongous Wooden Duck! it functions as you described.
The Inventor does that. nothing particularly special happens in that regard.
Leader 'recognizes' the portal. it flickers and switches to totally what you said and not somewhere else, but you get the feeling it was originally somewhere very different.
The Infinite continues spreading... It runs into a problem. once it goes far enough down, it runs into an almost-impenetrable layer of scalding-hot and razor-sharp stones, and horizontal expansion is limited by a river on two sides, some very zealous farmers and warriors with magical scythes on another, and a mass of fire and flesh on the third.
Alright, well... you can choose the staffs (non-arcadicusspawn, non-memory-slot) abilities whenever, I guess.
You try making an iron ring. But everyone knows a proper iron ring needs more then just iron: it needs cryonic fish oil! how will you handle that? Additionally, the Command Block Fragment is missing a texture and item ID, which makes looking at it unpleasant; this is problematic for the forging/crafting process.
Sky High attacks, bringing down 1 of the 3 healthbars and wounding another! Leader attacks, but is unable to fully down a healthbar.

The Darkness Given Form keeps training and has an ehhhhh session, gaining 10 (M)HP and 2 Attack! The Soul continues too, increasing attack by 5.
The Skeletal Revenant rattles out a challenge and strikes the Humongous Wooden duck, destroying 6 Bathroom Stall Walls! The Stygian Beast does likewise, destroying the remaining 7 Bathroom Stall Walls and dealing 19 damage to the Humongous Wooden Duck!
The Messenger of the Infinite attacks the Stygian Beast, bringing it down to exactly one health. he Taxman keeps procrastinating. The Humongous Wooden Duck caws out a honk of duckly proportions, dealing 10 damage to Sky High!
The Godmodder looks at the Taxman. He's really not collecting many taxes nowadays. It's like he Taxman doesn't even care about his job! Well, not quite. The Godmodder knows he Taxman is very devoted to this job. but still, the Godmodder can't keep paying him to do nothing, even if his salary is 0! So the Godmodder fires he Taxman... and then rehires him as The Saxman! It's a new job with new responsibilities! For one thing, as the person in Godmodder Company Co with the name closest to 'The Taxman', The Saxman must take up all the Taxmans responsibilities! And, since he is the Saxman, he must play an encouraging Sax! The Sax is also very profitable, granting the Saxman an additional 50$.

The Faxman immediately grabs it.
"What?" I hear B_Megamaths announcement and I am very confused. I ask Anti what it means, and Anti takes a second to look at the first page of this thread. He then tells me, after also looking at some of JOEbobobob's posts, that there is some other monsters that are fighting us. "Oh. Okay, I can summon a beast or two."

Basic Manipulation Staff - Arcadicusspawn, 1x Memory Slot, ???
Yvonne
[7.68/15] Insertion + 3
ahhh.... I see the half-completed ring, floating atop the pedestal. The mana collection is complete.
The skinning is easy to fix, but for maximum confusability I chose a difficult solution: I took the original emerald skin and then made the centre portion transparent. I then command the command block to show whatever it sees in the center portion, like a glass. When I look at it closely, it looks like a kaleidoscope.
and the what? cryonic fish oil? that's a little bit of problem, but not much - I dig a small pool of water, and then wait for fish to spawn. I dissect them and take away the heat energies in the fish oil using the manipulation staff. Voila, now I have cryonic fish oil for the ring.
"Taxman, I see you again."
The Faxman charge instantly completes in a swirl of flames, summoning the Faxman! you can choose 8.2 Charges worth of the Faxman's stats in addition to their base 20 HP, 5 regen, 5 Attack, Murderous Devotion, and one unknown ability. You may choose their alignment, which will default to [H]. The Faxman won't die this round, since that would waste the 8 Charges.
Your Giant Book slams into the Stygian Beast, killing it! The Skeletal Revenant is in the same general area as well, taking 74 damage, enhanced by the power of... hm, I'm not sure if I'm reading this right, it says the power of 'ripping off your own body parts and giving them to your friends'. well, something along those lines!
indeed, The Inventor is shaping chains.
Leader opens a portal. the destination seems... fleshy. It's also very hot, like it's on fire minus the luminescence.
Well, the reason depends on the river and the method. growing on top of the water is obviously problematic because the water isn't solid. Growing in the water is a problem for different reasons for different rivers. One of the two bounding your expansion is suffused with Cold, which makes expansion slow and, in some cases, impossible; in The Infinite's case, it's only slow, but that's still enough to avoid. the other river, on the other hand, seems superficially safe, but exudes a distinct sense of decay and danger.
You call upon a Dame of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, which I think is some kind of knight, and the administrators of that order, who call upon other Dames of the sovereign Military Order of Malta! 3 DamesOtSMOoM summoned!
Alright. The Manipulation Staff now adds a 100% effectiveness boost to one Actions worth of magical actions per round and has a resistance to theft equivalent to 120 HP, in addition to Arcadicusspawn and Memory Slot effects of course. The effectiveness boost does not apply to charging.
You give the Command Block a skin that looks like ordinary emeralds. It still doesn't fit in, but at least it's not a seething purple-black mass... +0.2 Charge Progress!
You then obtain cryonic fish oil! albeit, there's a river fairly close by so you grab the fish from there, it's faster. gain your choice of either Traditionally Crafted, Frigid engraving, or +1 Charge Progress! the other effects are more potent but uncontrolled, as is standard.
Technically, the Taxman is now known as the Saxman, but he is still legally named Taxman until the forms get processed.

Sky High attacks the Skeletal Revenant, dealing 10 damage and killing it! For the last time; this time, its corpse stays down.
Leader doesn't know what to attack, so he doesn't.
The Dames attack [1d4:1] The Messenger of the Infinite, dealing a collective 10 damage!
The Darkness Given Form sees death oncoming and... well, it doesn't not blink. It does, in fact, blink. several times. Then it notices it has enough health to survive with 1 HP, so it keeps training, it has a good but not perfect session, gaining 20 HP and 4 Attack. The Darkness Given Soul shadowboxes another training session which gives it an additional 6 Attack.
Since the Skeletal Revenant and Stygian Beast both went down, for the last times, no hostile entities act.
- Purity embodied.
The Messenger of the Infinite attacks for 60 damage, then gains 30 HP and 15 attack!
The Saxman uses his Sax attack, playing an uplifting tune that lets all his allies work at their best! including the inanimate ones! The Bathroom Stall Walls all gain 1 HP each, and the Duck gains 5 Attack! The Infinite already acted, so it doesn't get a boost. The Saxman procrastinates on the rest of his duties like the Saxman he is.
The Humongous Wooden Duck attacks, dealing 15 damage to Sky High, then waddles to a different section of the Bathroom Stalls so the Godmodder-shielding Bathroom Stall Walls are now shielding it, too.
The Godmodder sets up the vending machine. It's a machine that vends things... at high speeds. without anyone putting money into it. it's also pretty good at finding weak points, and aiming at them, despite the lack of any mechanism to do so. luckily, it has only a finite quantity of ammunition.

8.2 charges worth of Faxman.
The Faxman becomes huge. His nails grow longer, but are just for looks since they didn't actually get thicker. He adjusts his diet, to be healthier. Towering over trees, he roars, yet instead of the booming loud voice he expected, only a squeaky weird voice came out. He lashes out in confusion. He is Hostile, and usually attacks what's nearest.

Anti points out that being larger then a tree means you can't get into buildings, which is a clear downside, and so is the easily-breakable nails. have you ever broken a toenail? have you? they can be a real pain. incidental harm during ordinary life is like the taxes of being alive, and Anti's glad that's over with for him.

the Inventor continues.
The apparatus works! though, the amount of heat it absorbs isn't reliable, which can be problematic for engineering. +0.3 charges of progress!
The Messenger examines the river... despite the examination, nothing crops up as a reason. It seems like an ordinary river... there's some gudgeon and a few salmon, but both seem ordinary; the river is thinner then the other river, but that makes sense from the geography. It's very full, but not in a suspicious way. it still exudes that aura, but there's no clear reason for it.
Sky High attacks the Stall Walls, destroying 15 of them and doing 2 damage to another! Leader does likewise, destroying all the Godmodder-shielding Bathroom Stall walls!

the Faxman attacks... well, what's closest? good question. But the Infinite is spreading everywhere, so that's a good default. 5 damage to the Infinite!
The Messenger of the Infinite attacks the Darkness Given Form. The Darkness Given form responds to the oncoming fist of stone by striking the surface of the world itself with a firmament-blue arm-joint, the pane of the real splintering and shattering around it for a moment like the world is but an incorporeal play.
Unfortunately, it rolls a 1 on the d20 timing roll, so it does this magical maneuver well before the Infinite actually hits it, and the world repairs in time for the Darkness Given Form to be smashed into a paste, taking 75 damage
...with a pop and a pop-up the Darkness given Form is reformed, at the cost of one Soul Point, right before The Godmodder would've done a thing.
The Saxman Saxes! this encourages the Duck and Vending Machine some more, granting them both 10 HP! The Saxman keeps procrastinating on everything else.
The Humongous Wooden duck attacks the Dames, killing all but 1 of them! The Vending Machine fires 1d3:3 shots at once and rolls 98+50, 93+50, and 43+50 on accuracy, dealing a critical 10+10+(noncritical: 5) damage! this damage is directed at Sky High, who has the dubious honour of being the lowest-DR entity who actually does things on a regular basis.
The Godmodder decides to use I'll decide on this later. funnily enough, even though the charge did originally have a decided-on use when it started, it's been so long The Godmodder forgot about it! so he pastes something vaaaaguely related onto it and sends it out, having, indeed, decided on this later. The Godmodder summons Lord English, an noble-looking Englishman with a small moustache and large ears made entirely out of stained glass.
He then uses his action to reinforce the Faxman's fingernails - giving it +20 attack- before pointing out that, since there were bathroom stall walls everywhere around his entities until just now, it's obviously not going to be near any of His stuff.
