I'm pretty sure the vines would've crushed the pod anyway, but theres a chance he might have set off a self defence mechanism.

Yeah, that would have aggravated things. With the vines and the pod it might have been 6 more actions before he got devoured, now with Leon and the vines and the pod we're looking at a couple more actions at best

[mesor]

Well he was going to die for sure if I did nothing about it so nothing to do really.
What was with that luck lol the other 3 all land fine and then he lands trapped in a tree and I'm the only one close to him and I can't get to my equipment.

[crazysheep]

Looks like that's how the dice fell this opening round.. :/
Let's hope we get better luck later on lol.

Yay, I get to live. Unless I fall out of the tree. That is

Unnamed Crushing vine

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Appearance: Vine like. Often appears in large groups, though these are probably all part of the same plant. Immobile
Size: Quite long
Known Habitat: Trees
Senses: Unknown, no eyes. Probably touch.
Diet: Unknown. Might predate on trees, by crushing them to death and feeding on their corpse.
Behavior: Grows around objects, then crushes them. Might react to touch.
Danger: Low. Vine appears to be largely immobile. Might be destructive for building and other stationary things.
Durability: Low. Individual vines are cut with ease.
Weapon Effectiveness: Energy: Medium - Edged: Unknown(Probably mediocre-High) - Ballistic: Unknown (Probably low)
Anecdotes: Crushed a pod, and bleeds blue/red.

Possible economic potential: Vines appear to have great tensile strength. They are also capable of contracting with large amounts of force, in order to cut things. Might be usefull to know more about these.

ahem... vines.
also i agree that we should find out more about them, grab the parts that your robot removed and a sample of those fluids while your there and ill screw around with them when we get a lab set up

The android picked you up and set you on the ground last turn, Leon is the only one in the tree at the moment.

Report submitted. You'll have to officially name it.

I'd love to help, fellas, but I'm busy unearthing long-buried entities that are almost certainly not hostile! Say GUNIN, does the cryo unit have a lever or something to open the door, or will it have to be manual power?

I believe I said that it had a lever in an earlier post.

I must have missed that. Derp.

[crazysheep]

How often is it optimal to unleash the contents of old cryopods?

[Unholy_Pariah]

50% of the time
aka on a roll of 4,5 or 7+

edit: that's only if gunin does a roll for hostility after you get it open without killing it of course.

[mesor]

Actually more like 33%

Since if you get a 6 there's a fair chance the resulting over shoot will be just as bad as if you'd rolled a 2.

[Unholy_Pariah]

fine.. ill replace 6 with 7+ which means it will be some sort of giant friendly crystal monster that drops valuable stuff as it walks.

[mesor]

Hah I can live with that but the pod is normal size not giant.
Nice try though.

[Unholy_Pariah]

magnets... it is compressed into a single crystal by using magnets... when you let it out its gonna go all anti gravity crystal being and grow to at least 3 times its compressed size

[mesor]

Hah well if it's made of crystal we can kill it and sell it for a fortune.

[crazysheep]

Even salt crystals?
