Turn 15: Goo and More Goo"Damn it all, why am I besieged by wildlife at every turn?"
Perfect the Way of the Rock sneaking technique, then go find some valuable resources to harvest.
((What sort of trophy can you claim from a slime, anyway? Moreover, who would buy it?))
((Why, slimes have lots of stuff! Like goo, or solidified goo, or slightly different solidified goo that served a nebulous purpose.))
[6][2] You end up [1:North] directly underneath a slime, hiding in a crevice that the slime is resting atop but not oozing into.
((Didn't realize this had updated, mostly because my weekends have been very busy these days.))
"I'm just glad I don't understand that kind of newfangled music from these youngsters." Valerio says, shrugging.
Wait for the team to group up then move on to search for another weak enemy.
((You strike the slime with your... immunity to punishment from it?
Call it intuition. ))
"I do, its practically chaotic and horrible if you'd ask me." Cyri said as she cleaned her blade from the slime's goo.
"Alright, all wounded stay at the rear of the party, I'll take the front if you don't mind Valerio. We're continuing with this hunt. You there, bard, pick the surface glands of the slime. I've heard those hold its poison or whatever keeps it in its rigid shape."
Examine the surrounding landscape, what types of creatures are generally about? Also, lead the party in search for another enemy if Valerio insists.
"So, are we movin' onto the Middling Woods, yet? No?" M'Bokgal scowled and tapped a hoof on the ground impatiently, rapidly becoming tired of Valerio's incompetent leadership.
"I'm rapidly becomin' tired of yer incompetent leadership! Dis'd better be the last hunt we be doin' in these boring plains, alright?!"
>Follow the ever-boring Valerio and company, try to distract him enough that we end up wandering into the Middling Woods.
Maybe convince him that I saw something shiny over in that direction, I dunno.
"Tsh. You're all trapped in the past. Not that it really matters much here." Axel offers with a smile.
Put the level up into health. Claim a trophy from the Slime. If I have to designate one to take, poke through the surface glands.
[4] The group moves on, encountering a light blue slime. M'Bokal's attempts at subterfuge prove fruitless, as there's a fair distance between here and the Middling Woods and Valerio is paying at least mild attention.

Ask the demonking if I can do something for him.
[6][4] He suggests you attempt to fashion an artifact. To do that, you'd just need several components and a special step or treatment given to each of them.
He says you can take some guards to harvest materials, or snatch them from the marketplace on the same turn heroes sell them.

Destroy Hctib!
((For the record, read his full name backward.
Ettil Hctib.))
[6][4] vs [6][4] A battle of the ages ensues, in which you bring down the wrath of Thor upon the poor shrubbery. When the smoke clears, he's teetering on a pencil-thin strand of ice, barely safe from the discharge.
[1] vs [3] Then he falls over.

Continue attacking the slime, this time by giving it an icy bearhug.
[5] vs [1] Dawwww, you gives the slime a hug! A hug of
eternal darkness.[3] vs [5] It tries to hug you right back, but you avoid its feeble embrace.
