[Dustan Hache]

"My challenges grow ever greater, Arbos. After the new princess hatches, I must care for her and ensure she survives. With my colony gone, I cannot afford to break my vigil, not until she has hatched. Even afterwards, I must remain watchful, as the humans put all their efforts into destroying the hive while I was away, and doubtless they will do the same again if they discover a princess still lives.
 Not one of my kin escaped alive, and it was by fate alone that guard-kin, my closest brother, was keeping our future from being extinguished entirely. I dare not break vigil, but If you come to offer me sustenance, I will gladly accept it."

Worn out but determined, He would remain alert even if eating. he would keep an eye to the egg, and the other to the edges of the clearing.

[Whisperling]

((To Beirus. I'm waiting for Whisperling action to write turn, sorry :s))

Whoops, sorry.

Hide Vagush and follow Grey. Try and determine whether the venom is having any further effect on the monster.

Turn 60b : Gray, Glint and T946

Gray the Metaldee and Glint the Elemental Arcanivore

"That monster killed the humans. But it looks weaker. Maybe we can follow it to see if it weakens enough for us to kill it and get bigger. But Vagush might need to rest. Mat be we cold hiDE him somewhere to recover?"

Follow the monster if someone else comes with me. Help move Vagush if he needs to be moved.

Hide Vagush and follow Grey. Try and determine whether the venom is having any further effect on the monster.

Glint : [4]
You decide to hide Vagush for the time being, Tirim volunteers to watch over him. You find a conveniently placed hole big enough to be called a small lair, and hide Vagush there. Then you follow Gray who wish to follow the batoid.

Gray : [5]
With Brown and Glint, you decide to keep behind the monster, closely walking on its tracks. Not even ten minutes pass for the monster to collapse. You won't even have to fight it seems.
The neurotoxic venom already destroyed the nervous system of the monster.

You can see a lot of essence from a distance.

Investigate the area where the battle seem to be.

Spoiler: Investigation Mode (click to show/hide)

[6] While the monster group heads toward the huge monster direction, you investigate the area where the battle took place.

The scattered equipment of the hunters is in a surprisingly good condition. You skip over consumables and instead focus on the other stuff. Weapons of all kind : long spears, daggers, crossbows and phials of poison. There is a tag on each phial, and it seems you can read them thanks to your programming.

Paralysing poisons of all sorts and strengths, for different kind of targets.

You also spot the motionless corpses of the last two hunters. Their essences are still there.

But you took a lot of time checking the stuff, scavengers are already here. Some crustaceous creature lurking in the sand, the size of a sandbag. They are snapping menacingly at you.

Traits :
Mesmerizing: Those who look too directly might find themselves entranced.
Elemental Duality -Ice and Electricity-

Skills :
Calcifying Venom: Bites will gradually turn the victim into a pearly statue.
Elemental Breath -Ice and Electricity-

Traits
(1) "Learn" - Can learn traits or skills from enemies.
(2) "Hyper Adaptive Body" - Its peculiar biology allows it to adapt to various climates, and also to modify its organism to use various traits or skills. The process is far from immediate, and require energy (mana) to use.

Skills
(1) "Peck" - Exactly what it says. Uses its yellow-orange beak to puncture holes in its enemy, piercing them to death.

[Hawk132]

Give the human a few drops of my blood, see if that wakes him up. In other words, make him a thrall. Unless that would put me at below 10HP. In which case just drain him. If successfully thralled, take him along so that he can get some payback. Check the source of the wailing.

[Beirus]

Share that essence with Glint and Brown.

[Coolrune206]

Durst stands up dizzily, then makes a run for the golden orb. He hurls himself atop the magical object, curling the object defensively below his stone formations. He then deploys the mana shield again.

[Whisperling]

Go share the essence.

...I don't even know anymore.

As much as Dahak hates the entirely inappropriate snot creatures the corruption likes to use, he can't bear to take this GODDAMN THING seriously anymore.

... A lot of good you are, snotbrain, not only you can't find them, but THEY can find YOU, like some sort of idiotic reverse location spell.

He then turns and looks at the pitiful, tiny blob thing that seems to be pretending to be very threatening.

Sigh... Nobody gets off Mr. Skeleton's wild ride, I guess.

Dahak walks around a bit while the slimy black ichory thing veeeery slowwwwly inches towards his group. It actualy seems far more curious then angry. Delinde seems to be having trouble deciding if she's disappointed or amused, and Nihil seems to find it a bit cute.

Dahak then grabs a boulder that got displaced by the huge corruptor creature from before, and starts to calmly roll it towards the creature while quietly singing a tune.

~On the crest of eternity, a bell for eveeeeeery daaaay, thaaaat I've lived in silent search, of the mirrored cage ♫~

Dahak has no idea where he got that tune from.

Squish the damn tiny thing under the boulder, then try to triangulate the direction the actualy scary corruptor creature was heading towards, and go in that direction. Try to calm Nihil if he gets upset as you squish what seems to be his baby

[crazyabe]

I Attempt to get out of here!

[Roc CURIOUSBEAST_EATER]

Gather the mysterious essences and poisons off the hunters, as the monsters cannot have the poison since I do not know what essences do, I cannot risk the monster getting it

[Dark One]

Get back to lair and claw all enemies I can see.

Turn 60c : Coptic

Coptic the Mystic Avian

> Head West to the mountains.

Spoiler: Sky predator (click to show/hide)

[1] Under the cover of the night, you fly away westward, toward the mountains illuminated by moonlight. The forest is still silent, like sleeping.

You eventually arrive at the western border of the forest. For some reason, the trees and the plants suddenly stops growing past some imaginary line. Beyond it, the ground is rocky and sparsely covered with dry moss.

Suddenly you hear a screech coming from far above you in the sky.

[3] You barely dodge a feathered and long creature, with blade like fins all over its body. You know what is it, it's a predatory monster that scourge the skies around the area. They never land, living forever in the sky. They are called Sky Carvers, this one is rather young.
You suffer from a cut on the side of your body, red is tainting your white feathers.
You lose 2HP

[Sarrak]

"Should we investigate those hills? There might be stronger entities on the other side. Hills themselves sound promising, too. We could also try another direction later."

Investigate whatever direction Astrosa choses.

((I've realized that I'm fighting a battle of attrition against dice rolls, since I still have no means to quickly recuperate either HP or MP. Earlier, I got close to next stage by this time and it was mostly negligible. To sum up, as soon as we investigate hills, I'll ask demoness to finally camp and let me properly heal.

Message to "younger" players: get faster regen ASAP. It'll save you one day.))

((I'm precisely pondering about HP regeneration.
On one hand, I find it interesting that HP is hard to recuperate naturally ie. without a skill/trait.
On the other hand, it's still a bit harsh to determine this by dice rolls, but it does have its charm.
Anyway, I'm saying "pondering" but I won't change anything. I should however roll more dice for HP regeneration, for example I should have rolled something after you killed the monsters as I presume you ate them -and eating restore hp-.
I kinda forgot too.))
