Turn 6
Sludge
Grab a rock to shoot at a boar.
You look around and try to find a rock. Strangely enough you can't find any rocks anywhere. Suddenly a 10kg rock magically materializes inside your gut. Not the type to question magic you prepare to launch it at the first boar you see.
Your suction roll
[5-1 weight of projectile penalty]Boar evasion roll
[5+1 natural dexterity -1 surprise attack modifier]Despite the weight of the stone you manage to give it a good throw. The Boar although shocked by the sudden aggression manages to barely dodge the deadly projectile. Enraged, he and his buddy charge at you in a perfect horizontal line.
Boar 1 attack roll
[3]Boar 2 attack roll
[3]Your evasion
[5+1 size bonus]You can't go around them, you can't go through them, so you must go over them! You jump over the 2 boars gracefully. They continue to charge forward for a bit until they realize that you're gone. They turn around and prepare for round 2.
Suddenly, a bull bursts through the wall and attempts to ram you!!!
Bull attack
[2]Your evasion
[1!+1 size bonus -1 surprise attack penalty]Bull damage
[5+1 natural damage bonus +1 bad dodge bonus]Desperate to avoid the bull, you split in half to avoid it. The bull goes through the gap between the two of you. Due to a lack of the command stat as well as an absence of the perk that actually allows you to perform a maneuver like this, your double collapses into a puddle of goo.
-24 liters in the main body, -24kg of mass.

You feel like a newborn again.

-2 speed
RTnD
[6-1]The hope that comes from the fact that you can easily reclaim your slime allows you to persevere. The puddle already begins to soak into the ground (you have lost 4 liters permanently).
Worried about the whereabouts of your new enemy you take a look around. You suddenly see a bunch of rocks materialize out of thin air. You also notice that the Pink slime is no longer on the roof. Most importantly, you see the Bull turn around ready to charge at you again. He looks badly damaged though. Bashing through so many walls can't be good for him.
(since I forgot to draw rocks last round. I gave you a free 10 kg rock as compensation)
Pinky
"Grrrrllgle!"
Screw the safe way down! Drop off the roof onto that bull and try to ride it to victory!
[2-1 zero suction penalty +1 surprise attack bonus]You land on the bull's back and but fail to establish a secure grip and slide off of it. The Bull turns around and becomes enraged.
Bull attack
[2]Your dodge
[1!]You try to jump out of the way but unfortunately get clipped by the bull's horns and dragged along
Bull Damage
[6+1 natural damage bonus +1 bad dodge bonus +1 environmental bonus]RTnD
[6-3 Massive damage penalty]The bull drags you toward the wall before crashing through it.
You take a very painful blow as the bull plows through the wall and continues charging attempting to destroy whatever tiny remnants of you that remain. As the Bull charges through the house, you notice two other figures in the room.
Bull attack
[3]Unknown dodge
[5+2]Bull attack
[2]Unknown dodge
[4+2]They jump out of the way as the bull passes by. Before
you can get a good look at them you are suddenly splattered against the second wall.
*Level 1 water-slime Pinky(Ama), is dead*(To be fair. If you had at least one point in suction and therefore negated the zero suction penalty, the bull would not have noticed you.)
Brgle
Escape to the south. There is nothing that could be achieved here... Only death.
[4-1 low size penalty]You effortlessly climb out of the incredibly shallow crater.
Before you can even begin to move south a tow-truck drives in thankfully not running you over. Three men come out equipped with Hazmat suits. Intelligence roll
[5]. You believe that they came here to finally collect the toxic waste and clean up any spills. Not interested in being discovered you attempt to move south.
Walking
[2-1 low size penalty]You move painfully slow and barely make any progress in escaping this horrible place.
Hazmat guys are still looking around and haven't noticed you yet.
Zot the abomination
Oh dear, they're here, they'll take everything!!Can't let them! [3-1]Zot ends up running right in front of the Hazmat guys
*Gulp*David the gold and
Blobby (combined turn)

Also compress a bit. Don't want to die.

DEADI have a lot of stuff to talk about this time.
First on 1's and 6's
In this RtD I am now adding the rule "a 1 is still a 1" no matter how high your stats are. This also applies to 6's but to a more limited series of events. When a 1 or 6 has a special effect, there is an ! next to the number.
Now the first thing I want to address are 1's and 6's in combat. During the to-hit check, if an attacker rolls a 1 or a defender rolls a 6, the defender counterattacks. Now if they both happen at the same time, there is a counter attack and the attacker also receives a negative effect decided by my whimsy. In this case, David lost some mass. The game of tennis happened because you guys kept countering each-other.
Another thing is that when you roll a 6 on a speed check, all weight penalties are negated.
There are more but these are all that I will show and tell you.
Next, I have added a new mechanic: FOCUS
What this enables you to do is that for an action you can FOCUS and action. What this means is that any rolls that involve this action will have a +1 (and negating the "a 1 is a 1" rule). The drawback is that you can ONLY perform that action this turn. One thing that it specifically prevents you from doing for example would be countering. Now for a tricky case, in combat you can FOCUS dodging in general or dodging a specific target. If you dodge in general then all dodges gain a +1 but you can't counterattack. If you dodge a specific target, you gain a +1 against that specific target and the damage rolls of any counter attacks gain a +1. Needless to say you can only counterattack that specific target. I added this mechanic since I believe it will prevent many future unfair deaths. I also want to mention that you can use focus offensively as well, for example to gain more accurate attacks.
Also, next turn. Ranged attacks will from now on deal more damage in general. Also, here is a legend for the weight of rocks:
