Minor: Find out who the strongest being in the Colony is.
You or Jadesea, with most of the Gargoyles and some of the stronger beastmen among the prisoners coming in after you. I can roll that as an action with a chance of finding a hidden gem among the masses if you like, but that'd leave you with a chance of deciding that some skinny goblin runt is the strongest guy in the colony.

Please note that there aren't very many trees around, so this isn't as useful as it might be.

(Question:
How would I phrase an alchemical combination? Would it be the same as a spell?)

(Question:
How would I phrase an alchemical combination? Would it be the same as a spell?)
Rough example: "Mix eye of worm, toe of snake and hair of bat to create potion of healing"

Power: Eye of worm, Toe of Snake and Hair of Bat

Effect: Potion of Healing

Mechanism: I mix together the ingredients in a big cauldron under a full moon to bring out their full power.

Materials: I store the potion in a jade bottle, making it last longer.

Strength: 2 (The potion works pretty well)
Scale: 1 (It only works on one person)
Stability: 2 (The potion can be stored a while before beginning to lose potency)
Sophistication: 1 (Healing is somewhat complex, but the potion itself isn't anything fancy)

Hope that clears things up.

Feel free to do stuff differently, this is just an example of how alchemy might work, I'm openminded as long as you largely follow the framework set out in the first post.

EDIT: If you're feeling lazy then you don't need to specify the SSSS values and can leave them to GM discretion. Similarly power source defaults to ambient mana.

Major Action: Take the miners under my wing, and have them begin to carve an underground cave area for myself and them. Ask them to create individual rooms for themselves, a room for me, and two spare rooms connected to mine for a workshop and a library. In return they'll get to stay inside a cave that I'll cover in defensive formations.

Major Action: Set up an array at the camp that will draw in ambient mana, and my mana that is meant to refine and power the steel sword.

While not exactly gentle, you're having a far smoother ride than than the otterweasel, whose misfortune you take a moment to chuckle at as you speed past the spatial tear it's stuck inside.

Just like weasalotter thing-thing before you, you fail to find any handholds, sliding down the hole. Fortunately, you are clever-clever and skilled-skilled, so you merely enter freefall rather than bouncing around like a marble. Gnoll superiority has been proven once more!
"Well that went the opposite of the way I wanted it to. And fuck you too."
Major Action: Try carving that mana dowsing rod again.
Minor Action: Look for a ley line.
Major Action: Carve a basic healing circle into the ground.

"You'd have to be a spatial magic archmage to get out of this teleport trap instead of just making things worse, which the Undying Court made sure none of you mages are. "

(Alright then!)

Major Actions are in bold text.
Minor actions are in italic text.

Major Actions:
Mix together some magic infused-herbs with some ground lizard scales to create a potion of healing and stopping bleeding.
Spoiler: Alchemy Powers Go! (click to show/hide)

If successful above, command my cult into creating more, beginning mass-production. If unsuccessful, command them to forage for ingredients.

Minor actions:
Get my cult to spread the word, and try to amass more followers.

Speak to Jadesea about my proper identification as an Alchemist (see text below).


"Hey, Jadesea. I'd like to say that I'm actually an Alchemist, not a Fire Elementalist. Mm'Kay?"
