Wait, you a ghost, but your still a planeswalker ghost.
Try planeswalking out of the jar.
Also fuck we really should have tried this earlier.

>>379478
Wait, didn't we only not die fo' real because there's something unusual about this plane? Shifting to somewhere we may not be able to exist doesn't sound like the best idea - maybe save it for a last resort.

Meanwhile, strike up a conversation with the [Skull]!

>>379484
try an ellemental plane, they tend to be somewhat hazardous, but the souls of the dead get on just fine there as anyone else.

better, usualy because its hard to drown a soul.

[Rule Dump Open]
As a Blue Planeswalker, You draw at a rate of 1 per turn.
You are Strongest in Islands and anyplace with large bodies of water. You get an extra passive to your mana pool.

Other Blue beings will usually react more favourably to you. You can easily dominate/possess "mindless" blue creatures, you can even fight to possess a non-animal blue creature.

Normally; Passive mana leaks away at the end of a turn.

Being a blue planeswalker, white and black lands do not adversely affect you.

White and Black beings are slightly more friendly towards you. You can possess/dominate "mindless" white and black creatures.

While in Red or Green Lands, you recieve no passive mana, and are clearly weaker.

Green beings hate your guts generally.
Red beings will find you dull and irritating.
You cannot possess Green beings, and red ones are almost always too chaotic.

Drawing Mana from lands close to you is easier than drawing mana from afar or summoning it.

Artifacts that are not creatures offer no resistance, Unless they are green or red.

You have a make a connection to a land/place to draw mana from it.
A creature does not need to be summoned if it is already present.

You gain one passive mana from the place/land you are present at, the colour is determined by the land/place.

Combat will be explained when it happens.

>>379766
>>379770
Ok, the local blue mana is because this is an alchemist lab which is a place of knowledge and learning, while the black mana is due to the fact that they cut people up to get the knowledge, am I right?

Also, is the crab you're possessing 0/2 or 0/3? Pic and post are not in sync.

Ask the skull about what the mad alchemist wanted to use your body for. Surely an observant and intelligent undead like him has eavesdropped on the alchemist.

>>379772
[Mess up on my part, the crab is a indeed a 0/3 due to being a crab and being ludicrously awesome.
Downside is that it actually makes for a poor blocker in many ways.]

Damn, that's crazy. You gotta put a stop to those kinds of shenanigans. Only planeswalkers can do that type of nonsense. Might as well, search the lab for anything useful, like the alchemist notes or other bodies you can use to make a skaab from Innestrad.

Oh, call your new minion a Skullerhand.

...so what's a plancescape?

Does this mean she wants to make a plane, like mirrodin? Or is it MORE than that?

Well... I don't actually see much problem with that. Except that, you know, she's doing it with our body and without permission.

But, please, elaborate.

A bottled homunculus: [no card use]
Some lab notes: [Unread]
There's loads of body parts and lab equipment, but since I don't know how to use it, it's left there for the moment.
Only got stuff from that room cause in the hallway outside is this thing...

Right votan time, there is a few ways we can do the combat, so...
Should it be more like the actual cardgame MTG?
Should it be less?

Random libary? (what card you "draw" is determined by dice roll)
More puzzle like than card game?
Or more "realistic"?
It will be turn based whatever is voted. That said, we can just cut the mechanics completely and just freeform all the way.
[Now creating Disc thread for Card Libary, not dumping that info here]

good question. how about we don't trouble ourselves with a lot of mechanics and just focus on that which makes MTG awesome, namely the premise of ridiculously powerful summoners fighting other ridiculously powerful summoners using literal armies of creatures from all kinds of various planes and heritages and legendary artifacts and spells powerful enough to devastate aforemenioned armies?

well, that's the way I see it, anyway.

oh, and how do you suppose you could learn how to summon shit? read everything readable and tinker with every magical artifact.

>>380195
Hug Skull. Read notes. Take the Jar of Eyeballs (or ask Skull to hold it for you)

I dunno if we should possess the bottled homunculus. Might as well do it, we're blue of course. EXPERIMENTATION, HO!

i think that more realistic would be better

We go back the way we came, I can't take that monster on right now, perhaps we'll find something in the notes we found, or something.

But, I am struck with a desire to experiment.

I hug Skullerhand's Skull with my pincers.

Then I slip free from the crab, It serves me now, even though I no longer possess it.

I possess the lifeless homunculus.

Crabs of note:
Corpse Grabber Crab.
It regenerates by eating the dead.
Also gained;
[Rain of Octopi]
Blue Sorcery Spell.

The rest of the stuff is in some kind of code, perhaps there'll be a clue somewhere I can use to decypher it...

There was one other thing... a partticulary nasty diagram, couldn't really make out what it was...

There was some kind of odd script after it... I...
I think it was a spell, one I can cast...

Hopefully with some crabs and other things I'll be able to beat that juggernaught.

just dump all your blue mana into grow while you go around possessing everything possessable.

Interesting thing, each time I leave this body, it dies and becomes empty fleshmeat.

And as for possessing, well, nothing interesting, but I've discovered that I can infuse things with my spirt to bring them to unlife.

Summon gained:
Enchanted Brick-a-Brac

Well, looks like this body won't be having a growth spurt like this again in a while.
It's wanting black mana now too.

Well, I can do stuff while supplying it, so perhaps I should tackle the Juggernaught.

>>381152

yeah. if you can't possess it, kill it.

>>381152
Well, I got a few ideas about taking out the Skaab Juggernaut.

Option A is Unsummon.... which we can't use since we have no blue mana.

Option B is for Skullerhand to sneak up behind one of the suits of armour, while not letting that the Juggernaut not see it. Next, you show yourself, the Juggernaut charges you, you pull the carpet from up under his legs and hopefully, it will fall in position for Skull-o-matic to drop the halberd on the bugger.

Option C is to treat this guy as a bullfight boss. If the flavour text says that it doesn't know how to stop, let's help him not stop going out a window or a wall or a trap.

>>381152
use black mana

I could supply the homunclus with black mana, but Skullerhand is currently taking a tithe of one black and one blue, so not really an option till I get more mana sources.

>>381156
I've a couple of ideas... unfortunatly I can't really use much mana if I'm putting all my blue into growing this body.

That leaves the last plan.

Looking through the hole the Skaab left, A Man stands far below, the juggernuaght's flaming broiled body made ash behind him.
[SH]"Not good, that's Handel, the Blaze Inquisitor. He's completely mad, an arsonist hiding under a false banner of Avacyn's Church, we need to flee quickly, he's likely to burn this whole area down."

escape to another plane

>>381416
Unsummon seems like the best option here- this location is very good for drawing mana and we may not have exhausted its available resources yet, so abandoning it would suck. How long will it take to gather enough blue mana to pull it off, if we make that our highest priority?

>>381448

uh. I'm not sure if the dude is a summon, dude.

we can't fight a free-roaming Arson Paladin using cute little crabs, a jar of eyeballs and some low-level non-aggressive spells.

>>381416
Can he get in? If he can't get in he can't burn anything you know.

The spell "Unsummon" affects any creature. It should send him back to wherever he came from unless he's somehow immune to it.
