Turn 4
Sludge
Decrease size to 49 liters. If I have time, repeat attempt to digest corpse.
Try again!
Sludge finally manages to shrink back to a normal size.
Sludge isn't comfortable with the sudden weight of his new body and it will take him some time to get used to it (-1 to most rolls for this and next turn).
Sludge is unfortunately no longer large enough to hold the body of a mosquito so he automatically dumps it.
Sludge still trying to crush the mosquito into easily digestible chunks attempts to jump on it repeatedly.
[4-1 external object penalty] I think?
Sludge's stomps are proven ineffective. The mosquito's chitin is just too tough.
Brgle
Ops
Brgle copes with acid in his body and seeks something to eat. Try metal, plastic and wood if nothing more delicious occurs.
Toxic resource handling
[1]AHHHHHHH!
Something is wrong... very very wrong.... and not the type of wrong that gives people superpowers either. You feel an unimaginably painful burning sensation in you stomach. Suddenly, you realize that your stomach is missing. Oh, nevermind, found it. It's outside running around in that toxic sludge of yours....
What?
Upon closer examination your former stomach seems to be surrounded by a translucent rubbery membrane that you believe to be made of truly dead slime. Inside it is toxic sludge and what you believe to be some of your own slime. How is this even possible? Truly dead slime is called that because it is truly dead and incapable of any semblance of life and yet here it is... alive.
You decide to postpone these questions and your breakfast and decide to tend to more pressing matters such as the gaping hole where your stomach used to be.
Brgle has lost everything in his inventory
Brgle has lost 6 kg of mass
Brgle shrinks 6 liters smaller
Danger! you are at the minimum threshold. You cannot shrink any smaller or else you will die!You suddenly feel that you are not as good at assimilating stuff anymore. (-1 to pynocitosis)
Zot the abomination
Ah.... alive at last. Now what shall I do first? I guess first I shall break out of this prison.Effortlessly,
Zot bursts out of Brgle's chest and does 2 backflips before landing on a puddle of toxic sludge.
I... must.... gain POWER! [2]Despite
Zot's boastful monologue he fails to absorb any of the toxic sludge.
David the gold
The chase is on! Grow to the same size as blobby!
[6] David grows quite large but he doesn't have enough mass to grow to the same size as
Blobby [5] he quickly re-assimilates his dead slime and then grows to the proper size.
Density is now 0.72kg per liter
(Warning! You are 0.2 kg per liter away from dying)Size is now 55kg
Oh.. the chase is on!
Blobby speed
[4+3 size bonus -1 circumstance penalty]Your speed
[4+3 size bonus]At first it looks like
Blobby is going to get away again but an opportunity arises when he makes the fatal mistake of stopping to pick up a rock. You ram into him and begin to assimilate his body
Blobby's pynocitosis
[6]Your pynocitosis
[2+1]AHHHHH! This shouldn't be happening! Why does it feel like
Blobby is assimilating you and not the other way around?
RTnD
[6+1 attacker bonus]Nevermind. False alarm.
Blobby wasn't assimilating you at all. You just thought he was.
You check on the bear again.
The bear still doesn't care.
Alarmingly, the deer corpse now only weighs 60kg now. Compression does a really good job at making every bite count.
Blobby
Throw one more rock! Keep running away afterwards!
You don't have any more rocks to throw, so you decide to pick up another one.
Your speed
[4+3 size bonus -1 circumstance penalty]David's speed
[4+3 size bonus]As soon as you finish picking up another 2 rocks from the pile (since that is the maximum you can carry without gaining a -2 weight penalty) you get rammed by
David. Since when was he this big and fast?
You suddenly feel foreign tendrils inside your body trying to take over you. These must be
David'sYour pynocitosis
[6]David's pynocitosis
[2+1]You give them a gentle tug and they immediately retract back to where they came from. You sense that David was overreacting to your pull.
Again, your stomach rumbles.
Pinocytosis
[3-1+1] (I'm still keeping the old stat system for this specific event since the old stat system was in effect when it started)
For now,
Glorp doesn't seem to bother you although you still feel nauseous. You have not made any progress in assimilating him either though.

UnknownRTnD works a bit differently with psynocitosis when compared to how it usually works with other forms of death. When it is used in Psynocitosis it determines how much slime an opponent absorbs. Here is a table to show what the rolls mean:
6+ Victim is completly unharmed
6 Victim is completly unharmed (I might change this to a trivial amount like 1 or 2 kg instead)
5 Victim loses a small amount of slime
4 Victim loses some slime
3 Victim loses a large amount of slime
2 Victim loses a devastating amount of slime. They will usually have to change their density to survive.
1 Victim dies.
When a victim loses mass from psynocitosis the victor immediately fully assimilates it into their being. Essentially it means it is converted directly to mass without having to lie in the stomach for a while (like Glorp is currently doing with Blobby)
Another difference is that this version of RTnD can be effected by certain modifiers. The first of these you guys have seen is the attack bonus. What the attack bonus does is that if a slime has enough courage to go for an attack, then if that attack fails they get a +1 to their RTnD. This makes it so that if a slime spends all of their effort to chase down an elusive slime only for them to get a bad roll when they finally catch up, then they don't get punished as badly for it. Notice how it prevents them from getting a 1.
All spoken dialogue is not spoken but actually monologued. Slimes are still incapable of speaking.
