Aki: "Only one. Why is your hairbrush in the dungeon?"



Glimmerwing: "So you can go get it for me, dummy. Bye-bye now!"





That fall hurt. Fortunately, your dungeon interface didn't appear until after the landing, so your HP is untouched. Now let's ... HEY! Someone retconned Spell Slot 1! It now has Burst_Scatter instead of Combo, and the sub-slot formerly taken by Combo is no longer comboed with the other spell slots. This will probably be less confusing.

You feel a slight urge to kill the slimes to collect their remains. It'll probably get stronger as you get closer, making it difficult to merely jump over them. Carrying a bunch of bottles of slime around might get annoying, depending on how many slimes are in this dungeon.

Red slimes are not dangerous. They tend to move randomly on a flat surface. Their touch is painfully acidic.

You could climb over that small wall in the middle, although you're a bit vulnerable while doing so. (You're not sure why there are even ladders here. You're perfectly capable of climbing up a small ledge.)

There are a pair of empty vials above you, which you would need to get in order to gather any slime remains.

As there is no key on this level, that chest is probably unlocked.

Your spells generally cost 1 MP each, but may be strengthened by paying more. If you run out, it will slowly recover from ambient magic, up to a point based on how much is in the area. This area is magically weak.

((Can we have a list of our spell components?

((Can we have a list of our spell components?

((You only have those six, and can't usually change mid-dungeon. I'll write a component list after the dungeon. Foxfire Fakeout shoots a scattered burst of shots, most of which are illusions. Mind Drain makes the target your temporary ally, lets it understand you, and drains a bit of their life for healing.))

Up the ladder, parkour to the vials.

Then savagely murder the closer slime in cold blood, ideally via shotgun to the mouth point-blank scatter spell.

((I sorta mean a list of the currently available ones~

You quickly climb the ladder and try to parkour up to the vials. You feel that this space is slightly too confining to properly run up the wall.



You grab the vials and jump down to the ledge with the slime, then give the monster a face-full of Foxfire Fakeout before it can ooze into you.



Critical hit!

... This ... May take some time to clean up.

[~Neri]

We can get it later.

[IronyOwl]

Well... no time like the present... especially since we're going to have to walk and climb over much of it to get to the next victim.

[Nirur Torir]

((I was hoping for a decision on whether or not to get the chest, since looting the slime or not wasn't really an option.))

Wow, it took a while to clean all that without any tools other than a pair of vials, but you feel quite happy now that it's all safely stored in your status HUD. You'll be more careful not to splatter future slimes everywhere.



Now about that chest ... It probably has either money, a potion, or a spell component, which you wouldn't be able to use yet. It might have a minor trap, which you can't really do anything about as you are. Do you kill&loot the slime and get the chest, or just move onto the next room?

[~Neri]

Get the chest!

[High tyrol]

Get the cheset!

Here's the list of what spell components we have. I'm not setting a hard "This component does THIS" rule. Stuff varying a bit based on what else is in the spell could be fun.

Spoiler: Spell Components List (click to show/hide)

Foxfire (1) - Adds fire damage to a spell. Cannot start mundane fires, but deals more damage than normal fire.
Illusion (1) - Effects vary.
Burst_Scatter (1) - Duplicates the spell and sends each out randomly in a cone, but slightly reduces the power of each duplicate.
Charm (1) - Causes the target to view the caster as a friend.
Communicate (1) - Allows the target to understand the caster, even if the target is well below human-level intelligence.
Life_Drain (1) - Reduces the spell's damage, but returns a portion of the dealt damage to the caster.

(I slightly update the first turn's art, to match the style of later turns.)

There's no question here. That chest could be subtly writhing and we'd still want/need to know what was in it.

Pretty much~
