(OOC: so wait if we are adding actions to the auction thing do we just use our action to say something like "33/535 for potato" as our turn?
((Yes, exactly. Each time you do that, you get 1 store credit. If you have the most store credit at the end of the auction, you automatically win it and get the resulting charge. I think I'm going to drop the choice between entity or action ticket though, that complicates things more than needed.))

Being captivated, then infuriated, the GOLIATH slackens its attack. EORR The Deva slams into the product. it's foolish, really, but with the slackened attack, they have a chance. the Deva thrusts their spear into the unstopable force. icy spikes form on the ground below them, making even harder to stand their ground. waves of chills wrack their body. they haven't finished making this spear, and the cracks show. crick, crack, crackle. the spearhead begins to shatter even as the cold wind and snow it called bends without stopping the Goliath. come on, just a bit more... but the spear shatters. a not-yet-enslaved spirit of koon, spears of ice and lightning their legacy, bursts free, and runs off to wreak havoc. but in its arrival, it pushed the product. not enough to avoid bursting the shield, but enough to leave the statue intact. the Deva takes 5 damage from the spirit, but luckily isn't on the side of the Goliath's attack. The Goliath responds by beginning to get back up, and in the process sends a shockwave the statue's way. strange how they aren't using their left arm...

I'm done now, honest.
The shopkeep leans against his stall, pouring more energy into the machine, he's a LITTLE disappointed by the weakness of the peasant, but he supposes that's only to be expected given the fact that he wasn't charged for very long at all. 2/3 for A Toast To One's Health.
I think I'll lay out how the shop system works, well, it's more of an AUCTION I suppose. Whenever I finish a charge, the person who has donated the most energy to me will get the result, and either have their stored credit reduced to 0, or an amount of credit equal to the charge total of the summoned thing taken out from their account, whichever amount loses them the least amount of credit.
The round before completion, two options will be given, to take the charge in entity form or in action ticket form. Action tickets are basically stored charged actions, which are more effective than your normal regular actions, but can only do specific things as a sacrifice.
Anyways, the angry farmer is for sale at a price of 1 action. Hand me one action and you can choose to spend it on purchasing the angry farmer.
you churg and talk. you know, the way this is laid out, if nobody else has bid it's almost always optimal to just give you 1 action and get the thing.
I start up the drill to supply materials for my engineers to build up the fort every turn.
Orders: Good Work, General. Create backup plans if the Unluckyness trap fails.
WRRWRRRWRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMBBBBBLLLLE I JUST WANNA TELL YOU HOW I'M FEELING, GOTTA MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND, I'M NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP, NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN, NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND ANDSHUT UP ME. the General will do that. the drill is on.
The Shopkeeper continues sitting back chewing on his straw, and opens the door to his thing upon hitting 3/3 for a Toast to One's Health. Instead of a flashing light, an airplane flies overhead and drops something that parachutes to the ground. The parachute completely covers it up, but it then hops out from underneath the parachute. It appears to be some kind of toaster with a large vial of health potion solution attached to the side of it.
Healing toaster summoned! Every round, the healing toaster creates two pieces of toast, which can be eaten as a bonus action to heal the person or entity that does. Only one piece of toast per bonus action.
Orders: The healing toaster is to not grant anybody else toast until they buy the toaster. Until that happens the angry farmer is to guard the toaster, and the toaster is to give a piece of toast to the farmer every round.
Stuff for sale: Angry Farmer: 1 point Healing toaster: 2 points Next charge: Auction.
Healing toaster summoned! it has 20 HP. though this is less then it should (should 30ish), it is to allow each piece of toast to have a nice, wholesome 5 HP of healing- totalling 10 per turn. however, the two entitys most likely to need healing- the elementals and the NO general- are either a hoard or with non-standard HP. as such, entitys unable to benefit from tasty toast will gain a 4-attack buff when they eat toast. Also, bread goes bad. after 10 toast has accumulated, it will start to "go bad", meaning the number won't rise, and will fall if the toaster dies.
Angry farmer? whozat. all I see is the angry peasant.
In the main area, a gnarly looking hand bursts forth from the ground, releasing a torrent of spores from beneath the earth.
A fungus covered Lich dude rises up along with hundreds of mossy mushroom-covered zombies. He says "what the hell has been going on up here? you woke me up Godmodder, y'old bastard. not cool." as more and more mushroom covered horrors rise up from the earth.
Orders: With the raise of the lich's hand some of the zombies begin to erupt into a storm of spores that fill the air, seeding the ground with a sentient hive mind of fungus that rapidly begins to spread in the direction of godmodder (who i think is currently in the area of some side quest i'm not 100% sure on? Just trying to bridge the gap)
(am i doing it right?)
with your opening post, you summon 20 zombies. they are individually weak, and have less attack then the elementals, but hey, minions!
There is no definition of doing it right or wrong. The side quest area, though, I believe is in another level/playing field/dimension outside of the main field.
Action: I upgrade the turrets to tier two, doubling their damage and health.
the turrets suddenly gain limited health [beforetheywouldjustprotectthefortforever]! they now deal 3x more damage however.
In that case: The sentient hive mind fungus flowers into beautiful violet blossoms that reveal circular planar gateways that open up to a space not far from the fort.
Spores pour out of the gates on the fort side of things and just start spreading along the ground there as well, spawning more gross mushroom-guys who are currently just like swarming Godmodder, not really doing much just like being gross and swarming.
EDIT: (oh god i just took in what the "deity" status implies. Guess ill see what happens)
so, you spawn another 10 zombies, make them into a hivemind, and reveal they are sentient. all in a days work!
(He's only almost a deity! don't die horribly and it'll stay that way!... good luck.)
The shopkeep continues to wait until someone shows some interest in his wares. 1/5 for BEE DO BEE DO BEE DO
Stuff for sale: Angry Farmer: 1 actions Healing toaster: 2 actions BEE DO BEE DO BEE DO: Auction.

"It looks like we have our first auction winner, thank you kindly mister Wooby." The machine flashes and blinks a few times, then makes a sound like a police siren for a few minutes before going quiet.
Then, in the sidequest, Wooby hears a police siren, followed by chattering. A police car suddenly crashes through a wall (regardless of if there are any walls available) and begins speeding in circles around the Goliath, pelting it with potatoes. Amidst this oddity, it takes Wooby a moment to realize that what's driving the cop car is not, in fact, a cop, but actually a stack of Minions standing on each other's shoulders in a trench coat, all standing on top of, not a car seat, but instead a wheelbarrow of potatoes that has been stuffed in where the driver's seat used to be.
This is probably the oddest summon to hit the field yet, but hey, who are you to complain?

..****y to be proven wrong. You analyze the spell, and though your scanning prowess is bellow that of Aeisenberg, determine the following information, part of which is corrupted due to lower skill. The spell works probalistically, as players are unpredictable and they XSZMTV GSRMTHYB IRKKOVH ZMW DZEVH. the spell mostly works by analyzing HRMTOVGLM, and using their plans, combined with changing WVGZROH to nudge players into MLM-RMGVIUence if possible. when talking purely about URTSG between HFNNLMH, the spell isEVIB IVORZYOV, but such situations are rare. players can, however, make explicit powerful KIVXLNRGNVMGHs to render themselves HRNKOV and raise the accuracy of the spell, if they so wish, and a HRMTOVGLM can influence the result of the spell by vowing to ensure the spell is wrong unless it displays ZXXLIWRMTGLGSVRIDSRNH or some such. while this future-reveal spell is not RMUZOORYOV, it will provide strong evidence. due to URZGLUGSVWFMTVLMNZHGVI reasons, It cannot be UIVVOB used by players.

I ask the shoggoth for advice as to how the basilisk could be killed or neutralized
The shoggoth is either unable to be spoken through, or the force behind its speech believes talking now is a waste of effort, for it remains silent. perhaps you are misremembering something?
Action: I get the engineers to start working again, working faster and better with new materials being supplied from the drill. +25% speed due to excess supplies and +10% extra health due to better materials.
the engineers protest that their contract only required this blueprint be complete, and with ready-made materials, but you 2.5* their pay with a combination of your action (doubles total pay) and adding some of the drills output (for that last .5), so they agree.
The elementals keep sorting resources. (1-5=iron 6-8=goldenrod 9-12=ruby 13-14=shadow crystal 15 then even=star ore else shadow crystal) Goldenrod, Ruby, iron, iron, ruby, goldenrod, ruby, iron, ruby. total, 3 iron, 4 rubys, 2 goldenrod. The NO elemental is carving runes on that staff... they roll to get the starry material before the builders... and they succeed. they now have the best of the materials in this section of the world... though not much of it. more valuable materials, even when found, are in smaller quantitys. the proceed to use what little they have as a intricate spiral design around the tip. the shoggoth sits around with the byakhee. the peasant still isn't injured and the toaster makes more toast. the builders take 2 rubys as payment, then start reinforcing the interior according to the plan. -8 iron, +5 fort completion and +10 fort HP. The mushroom zombies idle. The basilisk is realized the starveling cat in the tree has no smell, and is fake. it begins to quickly slither towards the fortress as it mutates [97] extremely strong teeth.

(The demon koala's didn't summon because split action summons are too weak to bother with.)
More importantly, this action is... strange. see, sidequest actions and normal actions are different; there are three normal a round or 1 sidequest. however, you are using your sidequest action to raise a counter for total normal actions. As such, there is a chance of failure, but also, since you are using more then one regular action's worth, a chance of somewhat-gain. from 0 to 40, 0-5 = nothing 35-40 = 4 actions and everything inbetween is a spectrum. you roll a 30; 2.5 actions donated to piono's charge! as such, 6.5/5 for BEE DO BEE DO BEE DO, and....

The MPCC is, of course, under Wooby's control.
/chargecompletionnull
there isn't a wall per se, but there is a giant bathtub, which is close enough. you summon the MPCC (though it is weakened due to going to the sidequest and sidequest actions having been (recently) established as stronger then normal ones, so sidequest HP must be more valuable). 20 hp, 2 attack three times, subtle POLICE BRUTALITY in 2!
I cast summon elemental, creating an Invisible Stalker.
my orders are as follows: "attack the Godmodder and anything aiding it, and aid anyone opposing the Godmodder. Kepp those orders constant until I return and go get help."
(OOC: For those curious, I'm placing this here to help while I run back to the tear to get allies from the main field.)
you summon the stalker (10 hp, invisible (enemy repellent 2, 33% dodge) , no attack power. then, your plan runs into a little sticky wicket... namely, the entrance is still bared from earlier. it's been a while but the portcullis didn't randomly vanish, what a shame...
I slash at the Goliath's elbow with my flame blade.
you do that, and (...) bounce off. their elbow is not particularly vulnerable, and has bone and stuff.

Decrypt Key is WINGDINGS to LETTERS FLIPPED. See, easy. Now... Decoding time.
You analyze the spell, and though your scanning prowess is bellow that of Aeisenberg, determine the following information, part of which is corrupted due to lower skill. The spell works probalistically, as players are unpredictable and they CHANGE THINGS BY RIPPLES AND WAVES. the spell mostly works by analyzing SINGLETON, and using their plans, combined with changing DETAILS to nudge players into NON-INTERFERENCE if possible. when talking purely about FIGHT between SUMMONS, the spell is VERY RELIABLE, but such situations are rare. players can, however, make explicit powerful PRECOMITMENTS to render themselves SIMPLE and raise the accuracy of the spell, if they so wish, and a SINGLETON can influence the result of the spell by vowing to ensure the spell is wrong unless it displays ACCORDING TO THEIR WHIMS or some such. while this future-reveal spell is not INFALLIBLE, it will provide strong evidence. due to FIAT OF THE DUNGEON MASTER reasons, It cannot be FREELY used by players.
This isn't even corrupted. P.S. I leveraged Decryption experience to allow me to read corrupted stuff anyways. The end. It is possible this is a SECRET PLOT BY THE ENEMY to make me not act much, so conditional statements are the best for that reason.
Action 1: I upgrade the turrets on the fort to Tier 4. +5 damage and +10 HP.
Orders: I am going to focus on building up the fort and upgrade and build its turrets up with my actions until the Basilisk is defeated, unless the General Requests anything to be done. This PRECOMITMENT is valid until the Basilisk is defeated. 2 Actions on the fort each turn, and the third upgrading turrets. General, if you want me to do something, just ask and tell me which action to replace in the PRECOMITMENT. Unless you say so, I will use a action precommited for upgrading the fort to delay the Basilisk if the Basilisk is going after the Fort.
The shopkeeper notices that 1.5 of the charge spilled over to continue the next thing, and thusly, Wooby has 1.5 credit to his name still. He shrugs and continues pushing churg into the churg machine. 2.5/10 for Slimer'd.
Store stuff: Angry Peasant: 1 credit Healing toaster (and its toast): 2 credits
Also, I forgot to mention, but Blink Dog has hidden Wingdings text that corresponds to Mastema.
Might wanna deal with that. Search it if you don't know who that is... unless its the species of butterfly, then it may be alright (which it isn't. Blame DM)
Action: I build up the fort more, especially with the new materials.
(OOC: so wait if we are adding actions to the auction thing do we just use our action to say something like "33/535 for potato" as our turn?
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
(I am very confused as to how the auction works pls help piono)
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Being captivated, then infuriated, the GOLIATH slackens its attack.
EORR
The Deva slams into the product. it's foolish, really, but with the slackened attack, they have a chance. the Deva thrusts their spear into the unstopable force. icy spikes form on the ground below them, making even harder to stand their ground. waves of chills wrack their body. they haven't finished making this spear, and the cracks show. crick, crack, crackle. the spearhead begins to shatter even as the cold wind and snow it called bends without stopping the Goliath. come on, just a bit more... but the spear shatters. a not-yet-enslaved spirit of koon, spears of ice and lightning their legacy, bursts free, and runs off to wreak havoc. but in its arrival, it pushed the product. not enough to avoid bursting the shield, but enough to leave the statue intact. the Deva takes 5 damage from the spirit, but luckily isn't on the side of the Goliath's attack.
The Goliath responds by beginning to get back up, and in the process sends a shockwave the statue's way. strange how they aren't using their left arm...

The shopkeeper continues waiting around, fully aware that due to my personal schedules he's probably not going to get a third post off this round.
3/5 for BEE DO BEE DO BEE DO.
You probably are.
Action: I stare into the abyss to determine whether or not future sight is a complete joke.... Risky indeed, but it could be worth it.... Hmm... The Abyss... You know, I wonder if there is actually something in the abyss or is it pure void? Maybe its just literally nothing but thats void cause nonsense.Okay, in hindsight, this is clearly not the smartest idea. So Instead, my New Action is instead analyzing future sight the spell with a P Spell slot analysis spell.
Welp. Nevermind, here's my third post. Sorry I'm not saving space for the rest of you folks, but I've gotta get this post in or I'll miss my opportunity to make a third post entirely.
4/5 for BEE DO BEE DO BEE DO.
After this I think I'm going to try and wait two posts between my actions, so that I help give other people opportunities to post.
Good idea. I'll save my final post for when someone posts again.

Screw it. I package up my action in a nice little box, slap a bow onto it, and throw it through the dimensional portal I always keep in my back pocket. It lands at piono's feet, then sort of hops into the machine. 5/5 for BEE DO BEE DO BEE DO

I ask the shoggoth for advice as to how the basilisk could be killed or neutralized

Finisher post. Wooby sends his action towards the machine, 5/5 for BEE DO BEE DO BEE DO.
"It looks like we have our first auction winner, thank you kindly mister Wooby." The machine flashes and blinks a few times, then makes a sound like a police siren for a few minutes before going quiet.
Then, in the sidequest, Wooby hears a police siren, followed by chattering. A police car suddenly crashes through a wall (regardless of if there are any walls available) and begins speeding in circles around the Goliath, pelting it with potatoes. Amidst this oddity, it takes Wooby a moment to realize that what's driving the cop car is not, in fact, a cop, but actually a stack of Minions standing on each other's shoulders in a trench coat, all standing on top of, not a car seat, but instead a wheelbarrow of potatoes that has been stuffed in where the driver's seat used to be.
This is probably the oddest summon to hit the field yet, but hey, who are you to complain?
Minion Potato Cop Car stats: Has three small attacks every round, plus a two round charge: some subtle POLICE BRUTALITY, which causes the cop car to ram a target for massive damage, at the cost of some damage to the MPCC itself.
The MPCC is, of course, under Wooby's control.

chuging is your shtick apparently. you chug.
You analyze the spell, and though your scanning prowess is bellow that of Aeisenberg, determine the following information, part of which is corrupted due to lower skill.
The spell works probalistically, as players are unpredictable and they XSZMTV GSRMTH YB IRKKOVH ZMW DZEVH. the spell mostly works by analyzing HRMTOVGLM, and using their plans, combined with changing WVGZROH to nudge players into MLM-RMGVIUence if possible. when talking purely about URTSG between HFNNLMH, the spell isEVIB IVORZYOV, but such situations are rare. players can, however, make explicit powerful KIVXLNRGNVMGHs to render themselves HRNKOV and raise the accuracy of the spell, if they so wish, and a HRMTOVGLM can influence the result of the spell by vowing to ensure the spell is wrong unless it displays ZXXLIWRMTGLGSVRIDSRNH or some such. while this future-reveal spell is not RMUZOORYOV, it will provide strong evidence. due to URZGLUGSVWFMTVLMNZHGVI reasons, It cannot be UIVVOB used by players.
Information gained, I suppose?
The NO elemental is carving runes on that staff... they roll to get the starry material before the builders... and they succeed. they now have the best of the materials in this section of the world... though not much of it. more valuable materials, even when found, are in smaller quantitys. the proceed to use what little they have as a intricate spiral design around the tip.
the shoggoth sits around with the byakhee. the peasant still isn't injured and the toaster makes more toast. the builders take 2 rubys as payment, then start reinforcing the interior according to the plan. -8 iron, +5 fort completion and +10 fort HP.
The mushroom zombies idle.
The basilisk is realized the starveling cat in the tree has no smell, and is fake. it begins to quickly slither towards the fortress as it mutates [97] extremely strong teeth.

More importantly, this action is... strange. see, sidequest actions and normal actions are different; there are three normal a round or 1 sidequest. however, you are using your sidequest action to raise a counter for total normal actions.
As such, there is a chance of failure, but also, since you are using more then one regular action's worth, a chance of somewhat-gain. from 0 to 40, 0-5 = nothing 35-40 = 4 actions and everything inbetween is a spectrum. you roll a 30; 2.5 actions donated to piono's charge! as such, 6.5/5 for BEE DO BEE DO BEE DO, and....
so that's that.

You analyze the spell, and though your scanning prowess is bellow that of Aeisenberg, determine the following information, part of which is corrupted due to lower skill.
The spell works probalistically, as players are unpredictable and they CHANGE THINGS BY RIPPLES AND WAVES. the spell mostly works by analyzing SINGLETON, and using their plans, combined with changing DETAILS to nudge players into NON-INTERFERENCE if possible. when talking purely about FIGHT between SUMMONS, the spell is VERY RELIABLE, but such situations are rare. players can, however, make explicit powerful PRECOMITMENTS to render themselves SIMPLE and raise the accuracy of the spell, if they so wish, and a SINGLETON can influence the result of the spell by vowing to ensure the spell is wrong unless it displays ACCORDING TO THEIR WHIMS or some such. while this future-reveal spell is not INFALLIBLE, it will provide strong evidence. due to FIAT OF THE DUNGEON MASTER reasons, It cannot be FREELY used by players.
This isn't even corrupted. P.S. I leveraged Decryption experience to allow me to read corrupted stuff anyways. The end. It is possible this is a SECRET PLOT BY THE ENEMY to make me not act much, so conditional statements are the best for that reason.
Action 1: I upgrade the turrets on the fort to Tier 4. +5 damage and +10 HP.
Orders: I am going to focus on building up the fort and upgrade and build its turrets up with my actions until the Basilisk is defeated, unless the General Requests anything to be done. This PRECOMITMENT is valid until the Basilisk is defeated. 2 Actions on the fort each turn, and the third upgrading turrets. General, if you want me to do something, just ask and tell me which action to replace in the PRECOMITMENT. Unless you say so, I will use a action precommited for upgrading the fort to delay the Basilisk if the Basilisk is going after the Fort.
The shopkeeper notices that 1.5 of the charge spilled over to continue the next thing, and thusly, Wooby has 1.5 credit to his name still. He shrugs and continues pushing churg into the churg machine. 2.5/10 for Slimer'd.
Store stuff:
Angry Peasant: 1 credit
Healing toaster (and its toast): 2 credits
Stored credit:
WoobyDoobyDoo: 1.5 credits.
Also, I forgot to mention, but Blink Dog has hidden Wingdings text that corresponds to Mastema.
Might wanna deal with that. Search it if you don't know who that is... unless its the species of butterfly, then it may be alright (which it isn't. Blame DM)
Action: I build up the fort more, especially with the new materials.
