Well, with that recent major revelation done with, your train of thought returns to where it was, and you quickly decide on a plan of action. Firstly, you write up and send an email over to Dragon on your phone, noting it as low priority in the subject line, simply asking about actually finding that time to meet with the colleague she mentioned, Armsmaster. You mentioned that you were curious about more normal examples of Tinkertech and the work of other tinkers, and asked about arranging something in the near future.
With that sent, there was still some money left in the budget Dragon had granted you, and so, you left to go spend it, of course, using your last Greater Teleport you had prepared that day to return yourself and your constructs back to the tinker laboratory at The Guild HQ that was lent out to you. Returning there, you went over the first idea of what to craft your mind gave to you-
A Ring of Three Wishes, while it would indeed be exceptionally useful, was also majorly outside of the budget Dragon had given you. As in, it would take over Six million dollars to create, such that even the beginning budget couldn't have covered the cost to make it. Still, you hadn't kept your exact remaining budget in the forefront of your conscious mind recently, and between that, the fair bit of excitement what with the Slaughterhouse Nine business, and the recently recovered memory of you yourself paying that 'Doorman' figure using the order of your mind, if anything it is something of a boon that your mind was even able to function as well as it had when you first arrived on Earth Bet, let alone now.
Regardless, next on the list was improving your Staff, for which you would be glad to do. You considered your mind's suggestions as for spells to put into the staff, and they indeed seem fair enough choices- although as you move mentally more towards considering the practicals of getting the spells onto the staff, you realize something. When you go towards the idea of placing the Disintegrate spell onto the staff, for some reason, you realize even on the staff, you would not be able to use it from the staff at the same potency that you could cast it at yourself.
Quite quickly, you realize that there is something, similar, about that feeling to one that, in your rush of crafting before, you hadn't noticed. One that also applied to the Time Stop spell.
Having a suspicion as to what it might be, you order your soldier back inside, and give them a simple command, walk back and forth across the room, without pausing in movement. After establishing a baseline, you cast Time Stop. Everything halts, including the soldier, and eighteen subjective seconds later, the soldier is moving again. You cast Time Stop, this time aiming to try and include your soldier within the effect. Everything halts, except the soldier, who continues his march, and twelve subjective seconds later, the Mythic Time Stop ends.
So, you knew how to cast the mythic variations on some spells, then- given how you couldn't place the mythic versions into items (yet, a part of you believes), that ought to allow you to figure it out by simply thinking it through, similarly to how you had stumbled across this. A couple of minutes later, you had finished tracking down just which spells exactly out of your repertoire you could cast the mythic versions of; Disintegrate, Plane Shift, Dimensional Lock, Antimagic Field, Haste, and Time Stop. More in the future, so long as you continued the Xiomorn Ascension ritual on yourself- one hand idly went and re-confirmed the presence of the Ambrosia hardtack you kept on you, in wax paper in your robe.
Regardless, for now, that meant you'd probably not place those spells onto the staff, but otherwise, you immediately got to work requesting the materials you'd need to add Greater Teleport, Wall of Force- even though didn't have that spell in your spellbook at the moment, it certainly would be quite useful, so you also sent in an order for what you'd need to make a scroll of it-, Baleful Polymorph, Quickened Mirror Image, and Polar Ray. It took longer waiting the half-hour for the materials to arrive than the just-over two minutes in order to scribe the scroll. Of course, actually copying it from the scroll into your Spellbook was going to take the next 5 hours, as the sometimes odd specificities of the ways your abilities and the way magic works end up intersecting here would have it. Still, at 1 in the morning you finish that up, and set in to rest for the next eight hours, given there's nothing particularly important occurring at the moment to your knowledge, and there still ought to be some buffer of time before the next Endbringer attack, assuming you wanted to both be fully rested and attend it at the time.
Regardless, you rested fairly well, and once you were done, it only took you took you 1 hour and 23 minutes to finish up the upgrades to the staff. Double checking the budget, you had indeed confirmed your mental math, in that the remaining budget was a grand $22,800 which, well, it was enough if you wanted a moderate car. Well, it was still something, you supposed, but you probably didn't need wring Dragon's generosity for every last drop, particularly if The Guild do ask to buy the Wings of Flying that are currently on loan to them, and should still be proving your claims of non-maintenance 'Tinkertech'.
Ah, thinking of, you go to check your email, and indeed find a response from Dragon. As it turns out, Armsmaster's next day he's scheduled for maintenance of his tinkertech is tomorrow evening on the 27th after his day patrols (from 8 to 11 AM, then 3 to 6 PM) and before his night patrol (from 9 PM to 5 AM), though you would be welcome to potentially see it in action if you joined him on said earlier patrols- which Dragon suggested based on her amusing and elaborate ASCII-art contained in the email, as well as the fairly blatant writing that both of you could use another friend.
Well then, reviewing your circumstances: It is currently 10:30 AM, January 26th, Wednesday, 2011. Out of the budget from Dragon's Generosity, only $22,800 remain of the original 5 Million. What next?
[ ] Follow Dragon's advice, and arrange to meet Armsmaster tomorrow and join him on his patrols.
-[ ] Bring Spice and the Soldier along with you.
-[ ] Maybe take note of potential base locations as a side note to patrolling with Armsmaster?
[ ] Just arrange to meet him during the maintenance time, and nothing more.
[ ] Make a day of visiting Brockton Bay, say hello to Miss Militia again, or anything else.
[ ] Do nothing of the sort, and go out to do something entirely different.
Even if you do decide to do that, there is still going to be some time before tomorrow. What to do with it?
[ ] See to getting the Slaughterhouse Bounty money matter handled.
[ ] Go searching around for a base location.
-[ ] Somewhere in particular?
[ ] Before anything else, pack and take with you everything you used to improve the tinker lab while making the constructs, so you can set it up again later.
[ ] Some other combination or alteration of the above, something entirely different, or a plan of your own devising? (Write In)

Crystal Burst (Su) As a standard action once every 1d4 rounds, Iluontar can create an explosion of razor-sharp crystals at a range of up to 120 feet. These crystals fill a 30-foot-radius burst and deal 20d6 points of piercing and slashing damage (Reflex DC ? half). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Crystallization (Su) A creature struck by any of Iluontar's claws must succeed at a DC ? Fortitude save or take 2 points of Dexterity drain. On a critical hit, a target that fails its save instead takes 4 points of Dexterity drain. As long as a creature suffers this drain, portions of its body appear as living green crystal and it gains the earth creature subtype. A creature whose Dexterity score is drained to 0 in this manner transforms into a green crystal statue, as if affected by flesh to stone. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Item Mastery (Ex) Iluontar can always activate spell trigger and spell completion items as if the spell were on his class list.
Item Shaper (Ex) For the purposes of crafting magic items or constructs, Iluontar is treated as though he had all item creation feats. Iluontar requires only 1 hour of work per 1,000 gp of the item's base cost, instead of 8 hours. For items made primarily of crystal, stone, or earth, it requires only 30 minutes, and the item's base cost is halved.
Hard to Kill (Ex) Whenever Iluontar is below 0 hit points, he automatically stabilizes without needing to attempt a Constitution check. If he has an ability that allows him to act while below 0 hit points, he still loses hit points for taking actions, as specified by that ability. Bleed damage still causes him to lose hit points when below 0 hit points. In addition, he doesn't die until his total number of negative hit points is equal to or greater than double his Constitution score.
Mythic Power (Su) Mythic characters can draw upon a wellspring of power to accomplish amazing deeds and cheat fate. This power is used by a number of different abilities. Each day, Iluontar can expend an amount of mythic power equal to 3 plus double his mythic tier (5/day at 1st tier, 7/day at 2nd, etc.). This amount is his maximum amount of mythic power. If an ability allows him to regain uses of your mythic power, he can never have more than this amount.
Surge (Su) Iluontar can call upon his mythic power to overcome difficult challenges. Iluontar can expend one use of mythic power to increase any d20 roll he just made by rolling 1d6 and adding it to the result. Using this ability is an immediate action taken after the result of the original roll is revealed. This can change the outcome of the roll. The bonus die gained by using this ability increases to 1d8 at 4th tier, 1d10 at 7th tier, and 1d12 at 10th tier.
Amazing Initiative (Ex) Iluontar gains a bonus on initiative checks equal to his mythic tier. In addition, as a free action on his turn, he can expend one use of mythic power to take an additional standard action during that turn. This additional standard action can't be used to cast a spell. Iluontar can't gain an extra action in this way more than once per round.
Recuperation (Ex) Iluontar is restored to full hit points after 8 hours of rest so long as he isn't dead. In addition, by expending one use of mythic power and resting for 1 hour, he regains a number of hit points equal to half his full hit points (up to a maximum of his full hit points) and regains the use of any class features that are limited to a certain number of uses per day (such as barbarian rage, bardic performance, spells per day, and so on). This rest is treated as 8 hours of sleep for such abilities. This rest doesn't refresh uses of mythic power or any mythic abilities that are limited to a number of times per day.

Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw none; SR no
Backlash The primary and secondary casters become exhausted.
Failure The primary and secondary casters, and target if separate, all take 2 points of Dexterity Drain, and become exhausted. A creature whose Dexterity score is drained to 0 in this manner transforms into a green crystal statue, as if affected by flesh to stone.
Each time this ritual is performed, the primary caster must choose one of the following eight options, subject to the restrictions within. Being subject to any Xiomorn Ascension ritual also changes the target's type to Outsider, and they gain the Earth and Elemental subtypes. A target also cannot ever be raised above Mythic Rank/Tier 8 by this ritual.
A caster may provide a gemstone or crystal of any color and value as an optional focus, which will change the aesthetics of the target's Xiomorn based crystal Crystal Burst, Crystallization, and any created Vault Seeds to match, including if any of the abilities are already present, however it will not change the color of any existing Vault Seeds (or subsequent vaults). Without a focus, the default coloration is green.

Effect
The magnum opus and name-giving achievement of Iluontar when he shared it freely with his people. This ritual steadily, over eight castings, converts any creature into a Vault Builder Xiomorn, one free of the restraints left on the people by the deceitful pact of Ayrzul. In fact, even using it only once on an already existing Vault Builder frees them from it, even if the ritual would effectively do nothing else.Each time this ritual is performed, the primary caster must choose one of the following eight options, subject to the restrictions within. Being subject to any Xiomorn Ascension ritual also changes the target's type to Outsider, and they gain the Earth and Elemental subtypes. A target also cannot ever be raised above Mythic Rank/Tier 8 by this ritual.

This item Functions as a Combined Commander's Tent and Expedition Pavillion, containing the best features of both.
Weight: 1 lb.
Aura(s): faint Evocation, moderate Divination
Total Price: 41,000 GP
Description
This small flag sports a banner that is 2 inches wide by 3 inches tall and has a thin wooden dowel that serves as the flag post. When a creature plants the flag in the ground and speaks the command word, the flag expands into an ordinary-looking, windowless tent of stout canvas with the flag falling over the outer side of the entrance flap. The tent fills a space that is 10 feet by 10 feet, but, inside, it measures a full 30 feet by 30 feet. The entrance of the tent consists of a vestibule with an outer and inner flap for keeping light from spilling out,.
Inside, the tent contains a central table and several chairs and cushions, and three small "bedrooms" (separated by curtains) along the back wall. The center table features a blank map. Once per week, any creature inside the tent can utter a second command word to transform the map into a model of the nearby area, as sand table (see page 164).
The temperature inside the tent is 70° F if the exterior temperature is between 0° and 100° F. For every degree the exterior temperature is below 0° or above 100°, the interior temperature decreases or increases, respectively, by 1°. The pavilion also provides protection against the elements, such as rain, dust, and sandstorms. The pavilion withstands any wind of less than hurricane force, but a hurricane (75+ mph wind speed) or greater force destroys it.
While the commander's tent is in tent form, the user can utter a third command word while holding a new flag to replace the flag on the tent with one of his own choosing. The two pennants swap places. A fourth command word causes the tent to break down, returning to its miniature flag form, ejecting any creatures still inside the tent.

Weight 1 lb.
Damage 1d3 (small), 1d4 (medium) Critical 19-20/x2 Type piercing or slashing
Range Increment 10 ft. (thrown)
Category light Proficiency simple
Weapon Groups light blades, thrown, tribal
----
This jet-black blade is curved viciously, and is dull, never glinting in the dark.
----

Adamantine: Weapons fashioned from adamantine have a natural ability to bypass hardness when sundering weapons or attacking objects, ignoring hardness less than 20.
Enchanted With;
+2 Enhancement Bonus to attack and damage rolls
Agile
Aura moderate transmutation CL 7th
Slot none; Price +1 bonus; Weight —
Description
A character with Weapon Finesse can apply her Dexterity modifier to damage rolls with an agile weapon in place of her Strength modifier. This modifier to damage is not increased for two-handed weapons, but is still reduced for off-hand weapons. This weapon special ability can be placed only on melee weapons usable with Weapon Finesse.
Axiomatic
Aura moderate evocation CL 7th
Slot weapon quality; Price +2 bonus; Weight —
Description
An axiomatic weapon is infused with lawful power. It makes the weapon law-aligned and thus bypasses the corresponding damage reduction. It deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against chaotic creatures. It bestows one permanent negative level (Core Rulebook 562) on any chaotic creature attempting to wield it. The negative level remains as long as the weapon is in hand and disappears when the weapon is no longer wielded. This negative level cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells) while the weapon is wielded.
Impervious
Aura moderate transmutation CL 7th
Slot weapon quality; Price +3,000 gp; Weight —
Description
An impervious weapon is warded from damage and decay. A metallic weapon cannot rust and a wooden weapon cannot rot or warp, even by magical or supernatural means. An impervious weapon gains double the normal bonus to its hardness and hit points for each point of its enhancement bonus. The break DC for an impervious weapon and the wielder's combat maneuver defense against sunder maneuvers against the impervious weapon each gain a bonus equal to twice the weapon's enhancement bonus.
Returning
Aura moderate transmutation CL 7th
Slot weapon quality; Price +1 bonus; Weight —
Description
This special ability can only be placed on a weapon that can be thrown. A returning weapon flies through the air back to the creature that threw it. It returns to the thrower just before the creature's next turn (and is therefore ready to use again in that turn). Catching a returning weapon when it comes back is a free action. If the character can't catch it, or if the character has moved since throwing it, the weapon drops to the ground in the square from which it was thrown.
Ricochet (Adapted from Ricochet Hammer)
Price +12,000 gp; (Must be a Returning Weapon)
This weapon can strike multiple foes with a single throw. If the wielder has multiple attacks from a high base attack bonus, he may throw the weapon so it rebounds off the first target to strike at a second target, and so on for each of the wielder's additional attacks. The distance to each target adds to the total range of the weapon, and range penalties apply.
The weapon can only ricochet if it successfully hits a target; if it misses, it stops ricocheting, has no further attacks that round, and returns as normal for a weapon with the returning property. Because ricocheting attacks are treated as separate attacks, modifiers that only apply to one attack roll (such as true strike) only apply to the first attack and not the others. The ricochet attacks count as the wielder's additional attacks for that round.
Assassin's Dagger (Base Item)
Aura moderate necromancy CL 9th
Slot none; Price +2,000 gp
Description
This wicked-looking, curved dagger provides a +1 bonus to the DC of a Fortitude save forced by the death attack of an assassin.

Boots of Vaulting (Base Item of the Boots)
Aura faint transmutation; CL 3rd
Slot feet; Price 3,500 gp; Weight 1 lb.
Description
The wearer of these suede boots ignores an additional 10 feet of falling distance when she successfully uses Acrobatics to soften a fall. Once per round as a free action, the wearer can use the boots to gain a +10 competence bonus on an Acrobatics check to jump, treating such jump as though she had a running start. The wearer also receives this +10 competence bonus on Acrobatics checks to avoid attacks of opportunity during the jump or to balance after landing.
Using the boots in this fashion strains the lower body. If the wearer attempts a second such jump before at least 1 minute has passed, she must succeed at a Fortitude save with a DC equal to the DC of her second jump attempt or injure her legs. This injury reduces her speed by half for 24 hours, or until she is successfully treated with a DC 15 Heal check or at least 1 point of magical healing. The DC of the Fortitude save increases by 5 for each additional jump attempted until at least 1 minute passes between jumps.

Damage 1d10 (small), 2d6 (medium), 3d6 (large); Damage Type S; Critical 18-20/x3
Range —; Capacity 10; Usage 1 charge/round; Special Performance, reach, touch
----
A monowhip is a deadly melee weapon capable of inflicting horrible wounds, even in the hands of the weak. An inactive monowhip looks like a short metal baton, but when it's activated, a small weight detaches, revealing a 15-foot-long monofilament length. Wielded like a whip, a monowhip slices deeply into targets and can inflict grievous critical hits with shocking ease. Attacks made with a monowhip resolve as touch attacks, and they ignore hardness as if the monofilament were made of adamantine. A monowhip's damage cannot be enhanced by strength, as the monofilament slices with equal ease regardless of the force applied. Activating a monowhip is a move action; once activated, the whip consumes power incredibly quickly, at the rate of 1 charge per round.

A monowhip is a deadly melee weapon capable of inflicting horrible wounds, even in the hands of the weak. An inactive monowhip looks like a short metal baton, but when it's activated, a small weight detaches, revealing a 15-foot-long monofilament length. Wielded like a whip, a monowhip slices deeply into targets and can inflict grievous critical hits with shocking ease. Attacks made with a monowhip resolve as touch attacks, and they ignore hardness as if the monofilament were made of adamantine. A monowhip's damage cannot be enhanced by strength, as the monofilament slices with equal ease regardless of the force applied. Activating a monowhip is a move action; once activated, the whip consumes power incredibly quickly, at the rate of 1 charge per round.

Advancing
Aura faint necromancy CL 5th
Slot armor quality; Price +1 bonus; Weight —
Description
A suit of armor with the advancing special ability allows its wearer to move through fallen enemies to the forefront of any conflict. Once per round when the wearer of a suit of advancing armor reduces an opponent to 0 hit points or fewer with a melee attack, she can immediately move up to 10 feet as a free action. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If this armor is created as barding, the effect is triggered if either the mount or its rider reduces an opponent to 0 hit points or fewer, and allows the mount to move up to 10 feet. The advancing special ability can be applied only to heavy armor.

Technological Functions;
Commset
Price 6,000 GP
Usage 1 charge/hour
This device allows for communication between two commset users. A commset carries audio and visual signals, and includes a builtin camera that can record all communications being broadcast. Communication between two commsets requires both users to tune their individual devices to the same frequency. A commset has a range of 1 mile—beyond this range, communication is impossible without enhancing the signal strength with a signal booster (see page 51). The price and cost listed for this item are for a single commset.
Chipfinder (Prismatic)
Price 76,500 GP
Usage 1 charge/hour
When the chipfinder function is activated, all active tracker chips within a 500-mile radius appear as glowing dots on the screen, indicating the direction and approximate distance to each installed tracker chip, as well (customizable) identification number for each chip. The screen can filter out unwanted data to make it easier to track a specific chip. This range is a signal, and can be enhanced by a signal booster (see page 51) or blocked by a solid enough barrier.
Flashlight (Improved)
Price 30 gp
Usage 0, but must have at least 1 Charge available.
When activated, the flashlight creates a beam of normal light in a 60-foot cone. It also increases the light level in the area beyond this initial cone by one step, out to a 120-foot cone. It does not increase the light level in normal light or bright light. A flashlight has no effect in areas of magical darkness.
Fire Extinguisher
Price 6,000 gp
Usage 1 charge
This function open a small hole at the wrist-end of the bracers, from which a thin nozzle pokes out. When activated as a standard action, the fire extinguisher creates a 15-foot cone of misty vapor that swiftly extinguishes fires within its area of effect. Against magical fire effects, such as those created by a wall of fire or similar spell, the fire extinguisher only extinguishes the part of the larger effect its vapors directly contact. Continual magic flames, such as those of a flaming weapon or fire creature, are suppressed for 6 rounds before they automatically reignite. To extinguish an instantaneous fire effect or spell, the wielder must use a readied action with the fire extinguisher to counter the effect; this can cancel the entire effect, provided the source of the effect is in the extinguisher's area of effect.
When used against a creature of the fire subtype, a blast from a fire extinguisher deals 4d6 points of damage (Reflex DC 15 halves). A breathing creature exposed to a direct blast from a fire extinguisher is not harmed as long as the area is relatively well-ventilated—using a fire extinguisher in a confined area with poor or no ventilation can result in slow suffocation (at the GM's discretion).

Fate-Woven Braid (Improved)
This item functions as a Fate-Woven Braid of the Norns, except the 3/day use limit has been expanded to any number of uses, and the Price is increased to 15,000 GP.
However, it is still subject to a three-fray limit.
Each single fray can be repaired at 1/3 the creation cost.
Fate-Woven Braid of the Norns (Standard)
Aura strong abjuration and evocation; CL 16th
Slot wrists; Price 9,000 gp; Weight —
Description
At first glance, this circlet of plaited hair interwoven with a single gold thread appears to be nothing more than a personal memento or a lover's token. Closer examination reveals that each strand of hair seems to have neither a beginning nor an end. Most of these braids are blonde in color, but other hues are not unknown.
Up to three times per day, the wearer of a fate-woven braid of the norns can potentially negate a disastrous turn of fortune. Upon rolling a natural 1 on a saving throw or after failing a saving throw against a death effect, the wearer can activate the braid as a free action to reroll the saving throw.
The golden thread is vulnerable to severe twists of fate, though. If the result of any reroll obtained by the braid is ever a natural 20, the golden thread frays, permanently reducing the braid's daily reroll uses by one. If all three daily uses are eliminated in this manner, the golden thread snaps and the fate-woven braid of the norns falls apart into a nonmagical pile of wispy gray hair. A fate-woven braid of the norns uses up the entire wrists slot, even though the user wears only one at a time. The user can't use another item (even another fate-woven braid of the norns) that also uses the wrists slot.

SPECIAL QUALITIES
Heat Management, Increased Locomotion, Steam Engine, Swift Reactions, Energized Alacrity, Tactical Awareness, Artificial Soul, Phrenic Stone
ECOLOGY
Environment: Any
Organization: Solitary or Mount (1 + Iluontar, the Mountain-Smith)
Treasure/Inventory: 1 Decanter of Endless Water
Energized Alacrity (Su): Once per minute as a swift action, Spice can draw power from special energizing transmitters attached inside its body. When doing so, it gains a +30-foot bonus to all of its speeds for 1 round. Additionally, when making a full attack during this round, the it can move up to its speed either before or after it attacks. This movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.
Energy Attacks (Su): Each of Spice's melee attacks deals an extra 1d6 points of acid damage on a hit.
Increased Locomotion (Ex): Steam-powered clockworks increase all movement speeds by 10 feet and gain Run as a bonus feat (already included in the above statblock).
Heat Management (Ex): When Spice ignores any amount of fire damage due to its fire resistance, it gains the benefits of haste, increases the additional fire damage applied to melee attacks to 2d6, and loses its fortification ability for 1 round. Whenever it takes cold damage, it gains the effects of slow and loses the extra fire damage applied to melee attacks for 1 round. It can negate either effect with a successful Fortitude save (DC = 10 + the amount of energy damage taken).
Mithral: This variant of Clockwork Dragon loses its adamantine weapons and its DR, which are replaced by greater flight capability thanks to its spell-infused mithral parts. Its bse land and swim speeds increase to 70 feet, and its base fly speed increases to 200 feet with good maneuverability (already accounted for). In addition, once per day as a swift action, it can gain the benefits of the haste spell for 1d4 rounds.
Phrenic Stone (Su): Spice has a stone infused with supernatural mental energy embedded into its chest that is the source of its awakened intellect. If it is destroyed but this phrenic stone remains intact, it can be used to create another enlightened construct. When a phrenic stone is used to create a new enlightened construct, the personality and memories of the previous enlightened construct are lost. A phrenic stone has hardness 10, 20 hit points, and a break DC of 30.
Reach (Ex): The reach of all of Spice's melee attacks increases by 5 feet (already included in the above statblock).
Retaliatory Strike (Ex): Whenever an enemy makes a successful melee attack against Spice or an adjacent ally, the enemy provokes an attack of opportunity from Spice.
Steam Blast (Ex): As a standard action, Spice can release a jet of steam at a target within 30 feet. If it succeeds at a ranged touch attack, the jet deals 18d6 points of fire damage.
Steam Horn (Ex): As a standard action, Spice can unleash a loud blast of sound and of steam that deafens targets and deals 18d6 points of fire damage in a 30-foot cone. A target can attempt a Fortitude save (DC 28) to take half damage and negate the deafened condition. This ability is usable once every 1d4 rounds.
Steam Engine (Ex): Spice can remain active for 37 weeks with a full boiler. Anytime it uses its Steam Horn or Steam Blast abilities, the remaining duration of activity reduces by 1 day.
Self Repair (Su): This modification allows Spice to use some of the innate magic that powers its body to repair damage to itself. As a swift action, it can gain fast healing 5. It can activate this fast healing for 18 rounds per day. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Tactical Awareness (Ex): A commando construct gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks. This bonus increases by 1 for every 5 HD the commando construct has (to a maximum of +6 at 20 HD). Additionally, a commando construct is never considered an unaware combatant and is always able to act in the surprise round. A commando construct is still flat-footed in the surprise round until it acts.
For a suitably powerful wizard, what could be a more fitting mount than a dragon? Of course, a lack of naturally occurring dragons doesn't deter a proper wizard, one who can simply build a dragon.
This glistening and silvery dragon, made solely of Mithral, is specialized in exceptional flight speed, capable of unimpeded underwater combat, and is very well suited to the task of quickly flying out and retrieving any given target. Willing or not.
Though this constructed dragon isn't particularly bright, nowhere near the person Dragon, and just a touch below even an average person, they do not need any particularly complex tactics. They are not made for subtlety, they are meant to be blaring and obvious. Their presence itself, a blatant, forceful, and unignorable declaration.
To avoid confusion, they have since been named Spice.

Special Abilities
Artificial Soul (Su): Though not the true soul of a living creature, Spice's artificial soul provides it with a unique personality and a spark of sentience. Unlike most constructs, it is not immune to necromantic effects. Enlightened constructs are still immune to death effects and they cannot be raised or resurrected. Enlightened construct golems are still immune to magic as described in their entries.Energized Alacrity (Su): Once per minute as a swift action, Spice can draw power from special energizing transmitters attached inside its body. When doing so, it gains a +30-foot bonus to all of its speeds for 1 round. Additionally, when making a full attack during this round, the it can move up to its speed either before or after it attacks. This movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.
Energy Attacks (Su): Each of Spice's melee attacks deals an extra 1d6 points of acid damage on a hit.
Increased Locomotion (Ex): Steam-powered clockworks increase all movement speeds by 10 feet and gain Run as a bonus feat (already included in the above statblock).
Heat Management (Ex): When Spice ignores any amount of fire damage due to its fire resistance, it gains the benefits of haste, increases the additional fire damage applied to melee attacks to 2d6, and loses its fortification ability for 1 round. Whenever it takes cold damage, it gains the effects of slow and loses the extra fire damage applied to melee attacks for 1 round. It can negate either effect with a successful Fortitude save (DC = 10 + the amount of energy damage taken).
Mithral: This variant of Clockwork Dragon loses its adamantine weapons and its DR, which are replaced by greater flight capability thanks to its spell-infused mithral parts. Its bse land and swim speeds increase to 70 feet, and its base fly speed increases to 200 feet with good maneuverability (already accounted for). In addition, once per day as a swift action, it can gain the benefits of the haste spell for 1d4 rounds.
Phrenic Stone (Su): Spice has a stone infused with supernatural mental energy embedded into its chest that is the source of its awakened intellect. If it is destroyed but this phrenic stone remains intact, it can be used to create another enlightened construct. When a phrenic stone is used to create a new enlightened construct, the personality and memories of the previous enlightened construct are lost. A phrenic stone has hardness 10, 20 hit points, and a break DC of 30.
Reach (Ex): The reach of all of Spice's melee attacks increases by 5 feet (already included in the above statblock).
Retaliatory Strike (Ex): Whenever an enemy makes a successful melee attack against Spice or an adjacent ally, the enemy provokes an attack of opportunity from Spice.
Steam Blast (Ex): As a standard action, Spice can release a jet of steam at a target within 30 feet. If it succeeds at a ranged touch attack, the jet deals 18d6 points of fire damage.
Steam Horn (Ex): As a standard action, Spice can unleash a loud blast of sound and of steam that deafens targets and deals 18d6 points of fire damage in a 30-foot cone. A target can attempt a Fortitude save (DC 28) to take half damage and negate the deafened condition. This ability is usable once every 1d4 rounds.
Steam Engine (Ex): Spice can remain active for 37 weeks with a full boiler. Anytime it uses its Steam Horn or Steam Blast abilities, the remaining duration of activity reduces by 1 day.
Self Repair (Su): This modification allows Spice to use some of the innate magic that powers its body to repair damage to itself. As a swift action, it can gain fast healing 5. It can activate this fast healing for 18 rounds per day. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Tactical Awareness (Ex): A commando construct gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks. This bonus increases by 1 for every 5 HD the commando construct has (to a maximum of +6 at 20 HD). Additionally, a commando construct is never considered an unaware combatant and is always able to act in the surprise round. A commando construct is still flat-footed in the surprise round until it acts.
For a suitably powerful wizard, what could be a more fitting mount than a dragon? Of course, a lack of naturally occurring dragons doesn't deter a proper wizard, one who can simply build a dragon.
This glistening and silvery dragon, made solely of Mithral, is specialized in exceptional flight speed, capable of unimpeded underwater combat, and is very well suited to the task of quickly flying out and retrieving any given target. Willing or not.
Though this constructed dragon isn't particularly bright, nowhere near the person Dragon, and just a touch below even an average person, they do not need any particularly complex tactics. They are not made for subtlety, they are meant to be blaring and obvious. Their presence itself, a blatant, forceful, and unignorable declaration.
To avoid confusion, they have since been named Spice.

Energized Alacrity (Su): Once per minute as a swift action, an A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier can draw power from special energizing transmitters attached inside its body. When doing so, it gains a +30-foot bonus to all of its speeds for 1 round. Additionally, when making a full attack during this round, the it can move up to its speed either before or after it attacks. This movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.
Extra Attack (Ex): When using the full-attack action, an A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier can make one extra attack per round at its highest base attack bonus.
Increased Locomotion (Ex): Steam-powered clockworks increase all movement speeds by 10 feet and gain Run as a bonus feat (already included in the above statblock).
Heat Management (Ex): When an A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier ignores any amount of fire damage due to its fire resistance, it gains the benefits of haste, increases the additional fire damage applied to melee attacks to 2d6, and loses its fortification ability for 1 round. Whenever it takes cold damage, it gains the effects of slow and loses the extra fire damage applied to melee attacks for 1 round. It can negate either effect with a successful Fortitude save (DC = 10 + the amount of energy damage taken).
Latch (Ex): Clockwork soldiers have specially designed hands that easily grasp and lock onto weapons and objects. A soldier can attempt to disarm or grapple as a standard action without provoking an attack of opportunity, and it receives a +2 bonus on disarm checks. In addition, it receives a +2 bonus to CMD against attempts to disarm it.
Mind Thrust (Sp): An enlightened construct can use mind thrust as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to 2 + the enlightened construct's Intelligence modifier. The version of mind thrust available to an enlightened construct is determined by its Hit Dice At 12 Hit Dice, an A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier can use Mind Thrust V.
Phrenic Stone (Su): An A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier has a stone infused with supernatural mental energy embedded into its chest that is the source of its awakened intellect. If it is destroyed but this phrenic stone remains intact, it can be used to create another enlightened construct. When a phrenic stone is used to create a new enlightened construct, the personality and memories of the previous enlightened construct are lost. A phrenic stone has hardness 10, 20 hit points, and a break DC of 30.
Precision (Ex): An A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier rolls twice to confirm critical hits, taking the more favorable result.
Proficient (Ex): An A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier is proficient with all simple and martial weapons.
Standby (Ex): An A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier can place itself on standby as a standard action. While on standby, it cannot move or take any actions. It remains aware of its surroundings but takes a –4 penalty on Perception checks. Time spent on standby does not count against the soldier's wind-down duration.It can exit standby as a swift action—if it does so to initiate combat, it gains a +4 racial bonus on its Initiative check.
Steam Blast (Ex): As a standard action, an A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier can release a jet of steam at a target within 30 feet. If it succeeds at a ranged touch attack, the jet deals 6d6 points of fire damage.
Steam Horn (Ex): As a standard action, an A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier can unleash a loud blast of sound and of steam that deafens targets and deals 6d6 points of fire damage in a 15-foot cone. A target can attempt a Fortitude save (DC 16) to take half damage and negate the deafened condition. This ability is usable once every 1d4 rounds.
Steam Engine (Ex): An A.C.E. Clockwork Soldier can remain active for 12 weeks with a full boiler. Anytime it uses its Steam Horn or Steam Blast abilities, the remaining duration of activity reduces by 1 day.

Additionally, a commando construct is never considered an unaware combatant and is always able to act in the surprise round. A commando construct is still flat-footed in the surprise round until it acts.
Any kingdom needs an army, yours will be no exception. A Clockwork Soldier serving as a strong foundation, building on it creates an exceptional soldier, and oddly, due to the nature of mass producing enlightened constructs, there is also a similar variety in personality and ability amongst an A.C.E. Clockwork army as there would be in a more human one, with a similar chain of command naturally likely emerging over time. After all, you can be certain of the loyalties of a soldier who you've painstakingly assembled gear by gear, especially one that knows you did so and can understand what that means.
These are built to be your feet on the ground, able to effectively hold territory that's been built around human habitation.
The above statblock depicts the absolute worst possible ability scores with an Intelligence of 6 and a Charisma of 3. Even though it is a dreg, with their inbuilt loyalty to the death negative morale at such a sad state of existence isn't a thing with these soldiers, and acceptance of their position is nearly guaranteed- at the very least, even if it does hold aspirations, it is absolutely certain that they would never deliberately disobey orders or revolt. As intelligence goes up, skill points are equally spread between Acrobatics, Climb, Perception, and Swim, up to Intelligence 15.
Those rare few most promising soldiers, with the maximum intelligence of 16 are universally set apart, with a greater variation in duties than the rest. Some have 7 Ranks in Craft (Weapons) and also serve to create more base ammunition or perform weapon repairs if needed (Replacing Combat Reflexes with Frugal Crafter) and 5 ranks in Profession (Soldier), or even provide non-magical weaponry, as even with their abundant ammunition spell-like ability, there are likely times when ammunition may be used up in truth. Others have a full 12 Ranks in Profession Soldier and serve as squad leaders. In the rare event of a Clockwork Soldier with both maximum Intelligence and a sizeable Charisma, they become a squad spokesman or civilian front, gaining 9 ranks in Diplomacy, and only 3 in Profession (Soldier).

Also actually remembered to add Wall of Stone to your version of the Spellbook, and with this chapter Wall of Force. In fact, I just did a bit of a minor overhaul on the Inventory section, seperated it by where stuff is so that'd be clearer and had Ilu take a moment to move things around in said inventory. I also decided that for now I'd stick which of your spells you can cast as Mythic under your Spellbook (now Spellbooks & Mythic Spells) section for now.
Hope y'all enjoyed!
She could probably give us a more ground level perspective on what's going on (and how he's viewed)?
Given that we have six Mythic spells, I would assume we took two of "Mythic Spellcasting" as our Paths.

I wonder if we will get the first person taking a swing at us during bounty collection?
Anyway, our Mythic Spells are:
- Plane Shift: Arrive exactly where we want to. Very useful for bases on other planes or for scry and killing people in other dimensions
- Time Stop: We can take another person in the time stop. Besides obvious uses, you can also use this to take enemy in time stop to fight them mano a mano
- Haste: More speed. Can be augmented at our Mythical Tier
- Disintegrate: More damage. Notably at 7th tier it auto kills whatever falls Fortitude. As long as creature is not Mythic, but none of them are so
- Dimensional Lock: Doesn't stop our own extradimensional travel
- Anti Magic Field: We can select schools equal to half of our tier - those spells are not affected by it. Notably AMF works on supernatural abilities, so this might work on shard abilities
We are being paranoid about this. Like, our ritual is so easy that Iluontar should easily have been MR 10 by now. It is cheap and reasonably easy to do. As such there must be some IC reason we choose not to do the ritual(or Sckribe just put it at 3 just because, who knows). Until we learn if there is some reason for this, it would be best if we just ignored ritual for now as those bonuses, nice as they are, are not required to do what we want to do in Worm.

Well, for one, it caps at 8 and always has. That would be one thing keeping him from MR 10.
Also, more for everybody who's voted so far; Y'all have completely ignored the entire Armsmaster thing. Meaning if this plan goes off as is, y'all will have talked with Dragon about meeting him, then ignored her reply the very next day for the thing you explicitly asked for. Like, I appreciate the outpouring of votes, but still.
Even IC y'all have been able to tell that Armsmaster doesn't exactly seem like a 'just drop in whenev' kind of guy. So I'm not sure why that whole thing's gotten overlooked entirely, so far.
So lets go through goals

- Ritual of Xiomorn Ascension
- Benefit: Truly massive increase in our capabilities. Certain paths or feats double our craft speed, or just make us better at fighting. Additionally Xiomorn abilities are also extremely potent, with ability to create Vaults or once per day FREE permanency being just some of the highlights
- Cost: Easy to do, currently we are only waiting to understand if there was some reason we didn't do before. If we can yolo it, we could
- Notes: We can easily do this on others. Once our relationship with Dragon gets better, we can just turn her into a real girl
- Reading final ten Neither Scrolls
- Benefit: +10 caster levels? Ability to craft freaking Artifacts? Do you know how broken Artifacts can get? Damn
- Cost: We need to find a way to actually open them. We know that we failed to open them in our old world, but with Thinkers and Tinkers about, we might have a second chance at it.
- Notes: Reading scroll takes some time. Note that we can also use this to powerlevel other spellcasters i.e. if we teach Dragon to be a Wizard, we can just let her nerd her way to 40 levels
- Getting 54 Str
- Benefit: We get to spam Wish. In turn, this makes us vastly more powerful, and allows us to to employ number of various tactics include clones, Simulcrum and so on.
- Cost: Finding a way to do this that is not very awkward is not easy. Currently the best we can do is 25(base)+8 enc+10 size(mythic form of dragon)+5 inherent(Manual)=48. We are quite close - we could try a parahuman solution to this i.e. there is known Tinker who could make potions that granted super strength.
- Notes: 51 could work as well, although we would have to have Scroll of Restoration, or to have that spell in our staff, so we don't need Str for it
- Getting resources:
- Benefit: Be able to make more shit
- Cost: Requires us to do stuff and to find people willing to pay for our stuff. Currently we can just kill baddies for money - currently there's a number of villains or quarantined areas we could also go after to get more gems
- Notes: A couple. First of all, Blood Money and Transfiguring Touch means that we get to ignore majority of resources costs, abstracting them to time. As such time itself becomes a massive resource for us. To that end, recruiting Dispatch is vital for our future value generation. I would recommend kidnaping or cloning if we can't buy the guy himself. Besides that we might want a better way to get gems. It would be great if we could just Plane Shift to Elemental Plane of Earth; more realistically, we could have Dragon create some digging suits and pay her for gems with favors and stuff
- Making use of Unity and Divinity Drive:
- Benefit: Divinity, near-infinite power, ability to traverse the universe
- Cost: Time, realistically we have better things to do in short term
- Notes: Dragon and potentially Simurgh could be given Divinity Drive to play with, as their abilities should work well with it. Resurrecting Unity is always a risky proposition, but not something we can't do with sufficient prep
- Creating a base:
- Benefit: Having secure place where we can leave our minions, treasures, and where we can craft
- Cost: Time and effort
- Notes: We probably want to put our final base somewhere within the Vault we can make. We can put base(s) in other dimension or even on other planets if we want safe havens of sorts
- Investigate parahuman powers
- Benefit: Gaining access to specific powers that would be useful to us, and slowly coming to understand how Shards operate
- Cost: Time and Effort
- Notes: If we are high enough profile at some point Cauldron won't have a choice but to contact us. There are some other scenarios we can pursue, that would make this easier - for example, in BB we could connect with Faultline and follow her leads
Oh yeah
It doesn't really come across like that in update. It reads as "Armsy is patroling so come hang out if you wish" rather than him specifically clearing up time for us. But sure:
[X] Follow Dragon's advice, and arrange to meet Armsmaster tomorrow and join him on his patrols.
-[X] Bring Spice and the Soldier along with you.
-[X] Maybe take note of potential base locations as a side note to patrolling with Armsmaster?
[X] See to getting the Slaughterhouse Bounty money matter handled.
Ahh, that's fair enough on the Armsmaster end. Still a little odd on the end of having asked Dragon about it to me, but that's still a fair enough reading now that I think of it. Especially since it's coming from the much friendlier/better with people Dragon as an in-between than from Armsmaster directly.

Hey guys. I just realized we had MindBlank on when Gallant detected us via emotion sensing and Tattletale did her thing. I think it would be unsafe to assume it's gonna no sell all of Earth Bet's esoteric thinker powers. Especially since a lot of the precog is modeled as "just" extremely mundane and fast number stats crunching based on intel input.
Like isn't the Simurgh's "mind control" supposedly just super fine telekinetic fukery with hormones and neurons?
It would also match shard/entities being weird psionic shenanigans where there isn't full magic/psionic transparency in play.

Yup. I think Dimensional Lock is going to be our biggest thing, actually, it might be a flat out power nullification method. Not sure what it'd do to an Endbringer, honestly.
