TURNTURNTURN
Scanning whatever's around, the nearest monkey seems very around!
Absorb nearest monkey, with or without its cooperation. Maybe we try to roll on our side and reach with the antennae nubs this time! As springboard off tree seems advanced but doable, and we already did that. But we mebby can springboard-assist with tail-nub if needed! Or mebby tail-nub helps keep other monkey off our back?
And we wonder if we're close enough for our passive mandibles to mandible monkey manhandlishly or mandelishously!
Esk continues to attempt to put out the scent trail. We don't haaaaave to eat the ants-not-there-this-round that probably struggle to follow the fling-interrupted slime trail. Very well, very well!
1 - Catastrophic Failure - Scan6 - Overdid It! - AbsorbUh-oh!! The monkey did not take kindly to being scanned and absorbed this time! While your head is still swimming from the failed scanning attempt, the Monkey rips into you with it's pointy teeth!
You Respawn at the Slime Pits, feeling sluggish. -1 Slimepit respawn.
5 - Total Success - Scent TrailsAt least you still had your scent trails on, although there weren't many ants around here. Some smaller slimes take interest, however.
Choose a passive trait:
*[1/3] Bouncy: Looks like you can bouncy higher then other slimes.
*[1/3] Heavy Slime: Instead of floating in water, you can roll happily along the river/seabed.
or an active one:
*[1/3] Pancake: You can immediately flatten your body across a few feet surface area and become a couple inches thick, making you harder to see. A defensive ability.
You are starting in the safe starting slime pits. Bloat is here, hello!
North: Lush, thick foliage
East: pathway through vine-covered trees
South: More Slime pits
West: Thorny tunnel
Glop claims the south tunnel, then scans the other tunnels at the crossing.
If the strange puddles seem safe after being scanned, absorb them.
5 - Total Success - ScanNorth-East Tunnel: You get the distinct impression danger lies this way. You're not sure why...
West Tunnel with Puddles: It looks like there are a few different types of puddle. Some seem to incur a form of water breathing, while others have been sitting too long and have turned acidic. Both are useful for the enterprising slime. You detect moisture in the air, and think there might be more liquid wherever this tunnel leads.
East: Stone is always a yummy treat for a Slime that likes to be resistant to damage or nice and smooth. You guess there would be more earthy substances in this direction.
6 - Overdid it - AbsorbYou absorb a puddle, (random roll 50/50 - Acid) but a lack of attention during the process causes you to go too far!
?? Acidic Body: Your body now bubbles away by itself. When rolling a 6 during absorption, gain a chance of destroying the item/creature as it is rendered into nothing by your acid! On the other hand, having deadly deadly acid inside you is an exceptional weapon. And your one step closer to a more normal digestive system.
You are alone in the Crossing of the Questioner.
North-East: A spiraling tunnel of dungeon stone, leading into darkness.
East: A howling, windy tunnel of unhewed stone.
West: A dungeon stone corridor, occasional puddles of a strange liquid.
South: Glop's recently-cleared hallway of Glop's Dungeon
Gurrglux wants fish, but recognizes Salad comes first- as it goes forth to consume plants at the water's edge.
1 - Catastrophic Failure - AbsorbYou attempt to absorb the plant but, ignoring your slime instincts, internalize their antithesis somehow instead!
Gain Passive Trait:
?? Poisonous: You are currently poisonous, to both others and yourself, particularly when things try to eat you or you try to eat things. Whenever you roll a 6 on an absorb, you have a chance of poisoning yourself or causing an unusual effect!
Blob 001 absorbs random stuff.
6 - Overdid It - AbsorbBlob 001 absorbs the ground beneath itself, loosing track of time. When it regains the use of Blob 001's senses, it's standing at the bottom of a very deep pit!
You are in Blob 001's pit in the starting slime pits.
Up: Starting Slimepits. Bloat and Esk are here.
All directions around you: lots of dirt
Down: Dirt and stone.
This experience has aggrivated Bloat. Inscenced, he decides to eat everything he can in these pits to grow strong enough to eat those magic bone creatures that hit him with sharp sticks... though first uses his detection ability, to see if he can spot anything magic to Eat first.
1 - Catastrophic Failure - ScanYou are simply too angry to scan properly. You scan Esk. Turns out they are a Slime. You scan Blob's hole. It is a hole. This is all very unsatisfying information.
4 - Partial Success - Absorb[/b]
You decide to absorb everything anyway, though you are quite sure there are magical things around that have currently eluded you. You have a nibble on a bit of everything.
* [1/3] Sticky Body - your amorphous body becomes more tacky, causing items to stick to you and higher tension on the surface of your 'skin'.
* [1/3] Bubble Body - your amorphous body becomes ever so slightly lighter then air. When you jump off surfaces, you fall slowly.
Or gain an active trait:
** [1/3] Harden: You can heat up your external skin, causing it to harden and become crusty, like baked earth. This can protect you from harm and may reflect projectiles.
You are standing in the safe starting slime pits, but doing it angrily. Esk is here.
North: Lush, thick foliage
East: pathway through vine-covered trees
South: More Slime pits
West: Thorny tunnel
Scan and absorb the insect spawns.
2-Failure - ScanWell, it could be alot worse. You don't get any additional information from your scan, unfortunately. At least the view is good from up here.
1- Catastrophic Failure - AbsorbOh dear. You have temporarily absorbed yourself into the body of the Giant Fly! You cannot use your scan or absorb ability, but you can use your RTD rolls to influence the fly's behavior, in the hopes of eventually escaping. Perhaps you'll learn something from this - if you manage to survive.
The world becomes a multi-faceted spectacular as you experience the glory of sight for the first time! You are zooming over the canopy of thick forests. You can see the Slime Pits behind you, and an open clearing to your left side. You can perceive mushroom forests and crystal wastelands, and even the walls of the caverns in the very distance.
