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's

Your 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.

Hurl the stones at my attacker! Quickly absorb any left-over mass from my strike! Then run away, form the hopefully crippled individual with additional weight!


((Also, what was the circumstance bonus for?))

Whoops, meant to write down penalty. Edits have been made.

You got the circumstance penalty because you stopped to pick up a rock while David was still pursuing you.

((Oh, right. Maybe writing it as a multitasking penalty or discrated malus would fit it more))

I wouldn't really call it a multitasking penalty since most of the multitasking you can do so far is either unpenalized or impossible. I also don't know what discrated means and I already tried to google it. If you meant distracted, I guess that could work but I don't specifically understand why it is better than circumstance penalty?

((Meant distracted. Dammit, sub-par typing skills!))

((Anyway, I just mentioned the word distracted because I would have understood more the origins of the pentaly that way. It's nothing important, really))

Brgle, quite shocked by his missing stomach, wanders to the east to see what this six-pointed thingy is.

Without even walking, you immediately recognize it as a very shallow crater.

Do you want to change your action?

No, it's fine. Just continue moving eastwards after examination. It's probably better to put some distance between myself and my "creation".

Turn 5

Sludge

Go West

Sludge now tired of attempting to digest this difficult mosquito corpse decides to go west in order to find more edible food to eat.

[4]

There, Sludge finds a most peculiar site, an abandoned farm in the western charred forest. This was a strange object since people don't actually live so close to the reactor. Most humans live in the town that is directly to the west of the forest. He hadn't gotten there yet so he wondered why there was a home here. He can't tell what's inside the barn since the door is closed and all of the windows are blocked by curtains.

In his general area he sees 3 animals. A bull (represented by a drawing of a moose) and 2 boars. After further inspection, he also notices a slime on the roof. Thankfully the roof has easy access due to a tree that fell.

*Pinky(Ama) has joined*


Brgle

Brgle, quite shocked by his missing stomach, wanders to the east to see what this six-pointed thingy is.

Walking [1-2 low size penalty]

After crawling at a snails pace for a very long time, Brgle manages to fall into the incredibly shallow crater. Shame on you! On the bright side, the hole in your stomach seems to have closed itself.


Zot the abomination

Seriously..... The idiot actually managed to fall into the crater. He's not worth my time.

But still, I need more [5]

Zot absorbs the entire contents of the barrel.

Zot is now 30 liters large

Zot's density is 1.2 liters per kg

Ah.... much better

speed [3-2]

Zot stays still

David the gold and Blobby (combined turn)

Shove Blobby right down my body hole!
Hurl the stones at my attacker! Quickly absorb any left-over mass from my strike! Then run away, form the hopefully crippled individual with additional weight!
David speed [5+3]
Blobby speed [3+3]

David resumes assimilating Blobby before he can even react.

David pynocitosis [6+1-1 weight penalty]
Blobby pynocitosis [3]

RTnD [3]

David manages to steal 20kg of mass from Blobby.

David gains 20kg of mass

David grows 28 liters larger (size is now 83 liters)

Out of fear, Blobby attempts to throw a rock at David

Blobby suction [1+1]

Blobby fails to eject the stone from his body. Blobby tries to eject another one but Blobby exhausted the throwing capacity of all of his body parts. Perhaps if he created some pseudopods and had enough command stat points to use them to throw objects, maybe he wouldn't be in such a situation.

After his second failure, he tries to run away.

Blobby speed [6-1]
David's speed [5+8]

Deep down inside Blobby worked hard, very hard. He exerted an effort that one only ever sees in gold medal athletes, but to the outside observer, Blobby didn't even move an inch before David just ran in front of him blocking his escape path.

It's no longer "fight or flight" now it's only just fight.


Your stomach rumbles

Blobby's pynocitosis [5-1]

You don't feel nauseous anymore. Also, you absorbed 5 more kg of Glorp's mass into your body.


When you look around you see that all of the remaining pieces of Glorp's slime has evaporated (except the piece you are currently digesting)

The deer corpse now only weighs 30kg now. It will be one more turn before the bear finishes his meal and begins to look for something to wash it down with.


David the gold has leveled up. Since this is your first level up, you only gain 3 stat points and cannot choose a perk. The stats you can level up are command, pynocitosis, and suction. (please remember the changes to stat points I made that I still haven't put in the OP yet)



Far off in the distance, Blobby hears a church bell ring.
