Miya takes a step towards blacktongue shaking now seems like the best time blacktongue is in a good mood it seems.
Blacktongue....please don't kill me for this!
place Ward on self and step forward and kiss blacktongue.
[11, Good] You throw a quick ward on yourself to defend against the inevitable backlash, then move in.
...
She just kind of eyes you curiously for a moment, before having a gentle "ohhhhhh" moment and smiling.
She pats you on the head.
"Yes, good girl. I'm sure if you make yourself useful you'll prove yourself worthy of my affections."Then she goes back to snuggling in her stolen cloak and looking over various papers.
Minor Action: Befriend and learn more about the culture of the fairies, if Sjig-Nak brings any back. Otherwise, read.
Minor Action: Read some Biomancy books. Stop Miya from killing herself (aren't Blacktongue and Miya both female?)
That mutant rat doesn't seem to have any fairies yet.
You get a sudden chill and glance around for Miya, but she's nowhere to be seen. Probably off somewhere other than where you are, wherever that is.
She will be missed.
Minor action: Go annoy those hunters until they get something good for me. It'll happen someday.
Minor action: Get samples from those parasites everyone has. Perfect for symbiotes!
Minor action: Get some black lightening from Blacktounge.
Minor action: Try and biomance vines into some sort of living net. Nothing fancy, it just needs to hold things and walk a bit.[/b]
[11, Good] You "Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?" them until they get fed up and show you where they're keeping the findings. Most of it is smaller, relatively herbivorous game, but you do find a huge flatworm of some kind. It's absolutely riddled with arrows but seems to have been ultimately punched to death by something large.
[7, Poor] Most of them are microscopic and cleaned out by the healing team, so it's hard to find proper samples. You get some skin samples of people who said they felt itchy or sore lately there, maybe there'll be something there?
[10, Poor] She gives you a brief zap. It occurs to you that you have no way to collect or store black lightning, other than pumping it directly into your Progenitors.
[19, Bonus] You get some vines to hold in a net formation. Getting them to walk is another matter.
Minor Action: Get some channelers to help me with enlarging the rainward.
Minor Action: Grab one of the free raincloaks for myself, having spied on the "elf" to see if it didn't have any more alcohol and discovering the cloaks instead.
Minor Action: Recruit my own personal channeler lackeyapprentice, so that I don't need to call up the common pool all the time to greaterfy my magic, it seems to be the done thing.
Minor Action: Examine self for parasites. If any are found roll around in a fire, naked except for my fire resistance amulet, hopefully killing the parasites (I see no way this could go wrong) get some of the healers to remove them.
[15, Good] Everyone is happy to see the rainward back in action, malformed atrocity though it may be.
[17, Bonus] MIIIIIIIIIIIINE!
[16, Good] You pick out an orc huddled under your ward after helping to dry it out and inform him that he's your personal property now. He scowls but doesn't particularly object.
[1, FAIL!] They're everywhere, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!
The healers insist that you're FINE but you can FEEL them WRIGGLING.
Miner: Persuade the Miners to help me.
Major: Dig at my Hole in the wall.
((Is the miner action supposed to be a major or minor action?))
Minor Action: Consider the various herbs collected, and see if I am able to mutate any into being a staple farmable food product[/b]
[13, Good] Not of particular quality, but there's enough edible material in some of them that you could form them into decent edible matter producers.
"IT'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" a tiny voice rings out. Several... well, they're bug-fairies; very insectile, but still humanoid for the most part. Actually they seem tauric, but whatever.
The point is, a bunch of tiny fairy-things begin panicking as you snakipede moves in to eat them. One bursts out from a particular building carrying a huge sword over its shoulders; huge by its standards, as far as you can tell it's literally an ornate human-sized dagger.
It stares down your snakipede as the beastie charges right for it.
This scene seems unfinished Irony?
((You have time to react if you'd like, or you can just watch what happens. I wasn't sure enough of how you'd act to just write the whole thing out in one go.))
"See, Babbles, I was correct. I'm always correct, of course, but now you saw firsthand how correct I was. People enjoyed your poetry and now you can continue to make more of it as long as it doesn't conflict with the uses I have for you. In fact, your high spirits might help you find your calling as a wizard, and as long as you stick with me as your master, that is a good thing." the slightly-damaged imp told the lizard-channeler-thing while petting a fleshmetal-ball-golem-thing on his lap.
He was trying to get Ano's spirits up after the small golem's most recent failure to prove itself a master of the banjo. Malacent had no doubt it'd get better eventually and maybe even learn other useful skills aside from playing the banjo. "Do you have any noteworthy belongings or aspirations?" he continued, trying to plan how to better manipulate the strange and supposedly female creature.
Minor Action: Talk to Bebbles.
"Great! And yes, I have my optimism! That's, uh, that's the clever way I heard to say no I'm poor. But I do aspire to greatness! Just... not sure what kind of greatness!"Ano gives a sad humming chord, but seems a little better now.
