Turn 94
Gain altitude, try to get a height advantage on the dragon. Fly in front of the sun as a trick to blind my opponent, then swoop down from above and incinerate it with the flamethrower.

For all its lack of maneuverability, jet was fiendishly fast. James left dragon far behind according to the radar, both in raw distance and altitude. Positioning between dragon and sun proved a bit more difficult, but nothing he couldn't handle. With full speed, James moved forwards, seeing dragon move towards him. Yet as distance decreased, Dragon did not change his movements. James smiled, realizing that dragon was blinded by the sun and was relying more on chance than anything to hit him. This suited healer just fine, as he activated and aimed the flamethrower. It was not the best weapon moving at such speed, but sticky napalm would be perfect if only he could hit it. Just before the two reached attack distance, however, dragon suddenly dived for seemingly no reason. Napalm spilled across its back, especially over its wings, and it was now dragon’s time to fall down uncontrollably.
{Dragon flight disabled}
Use two essences to make the dragon believe that NAV had jumped out of the plane. Make another essence.

Marcus was looking from a safe distance at the falling dragon. The spell had worked, his magic only held out seconds within the dragons mind, but that was enough in such combat. The dragon had little hope to succeed now, yet James did not look like he was getting down anytime soon. Would dragon attempt his futile battle, or would it go after someone else? Maybe this was not a safe distance after all...
try again, I need it for my...project
Flare had learned from his previous mistake. Now he forged onwards with purpose and a plan. Between his hands formed a ball of iron with a hole on one side. Flare tested it out and a little flame extended from the hole. All seemed to be working.
Go east, to the Castle. 2 Electric Essences.

Eterna, taking an indirect route, moved on towards the castle. He seemed to be in a rush for some reason, jogging towards the castle gates at great speed. Soon, castle gates emerged before him. Inside there were two mages, meditating.
Meditate. 3 Essences.

There were none to worry him. Even dragon was too far to come to harm gambler unnoticed. Especially now, as it had lost its wings, and with them, a great deal of mobility. There was only Gambler, his plans and all the time in the universe.
"Interesting indeed! The power of time is immeasurable yet malleable..."
Again drawing from the ambient passage of time 3 essences. Meditate thinking on the relationship between time and space.

Doctor was having a great time exploring the streams of time. It was rare to find a time stream so free of meddling, with not a single paradox nor loop. It was so easy to draw upon the power, to bend temporal currents to his will. If this continued, he was certain to come out on top. Why, it would even be triv...
Rewind.
Doctor could feel he was in the "future". Just as people who navigate the land with no devices offend become capable of instinctively sensing north, so did Doctor instinctively feel "when" he was. And this was not right. The currents had pushed him forwards, yet the power he had gained was sent backwards to the point when time began. Temporal mage shuddered thinking what would had happened if there wasn't a convenient split between his essences and himself.

Jonas decided that it was time to see if the Great Swarm existed on this world. It would had only made sense for it to do, as Great Swarm was one of the embodiments of life, and the world was plenty alive, at least judging from all the plants. To his relief, Jonas' call was answered, and his magic empowered. After Jonas had finished casting he could still feel the sweet smell of honey.
"... Last try."
Again. Another attempt with my force spear (-1 solid). After the attempt, try and create two force essences.
Two more aether essences.

Crimson decided to go for one last try before stopping. The reality seemed to think that helmet should had been the stopping point, as when Crimson conjured a large ball of force from his spear; it exploded violently, sending dust flying everywhere. Yet it was only dust that was moved, as Force mages heavy metallic body kept him in place. Giving up on armor for now, Crimson joined Jace in meditation.
Viznor whispers something in Dwen's ear, then takes the alcohol mage's five shards and magic bow.
Afterwards, he heads for the salt fields, making three essences as he walks.

With his newfound profits in hand, Wiznor moved off onwards the salt fields in the far southwest. He moved cautiously, for the battle in the skies seemed rather dangerous, and unpredictable. Even if neither combatant attacked him directly, there could be some fallout from their strikes, and dragons breath was fearsome weapon enough to not want to try it out on own skin. Yet the reason for slow travel quickly changed from caution to amazement, as dragon fell near the lake, its wings torn and burned into uselessness.

Harden felt that he did not have much time to think about this. He rushed forwards, caring not whether he ran through thicket of trees of shrubby grassland. He reached the edge of a lake just in time to see dragon falling on the other shore. This seemed like a chance to score big if he had ever seen one, thought spatial mage while grinning.
