Return to my body. Admire my handiwork. Go yell at the zombie (the radioactive one, not the newly minted Asteroidea) about proper radioactive contamination procedure. From a safe distance!
Then try to build the clawgloves using the mole's claws.
"Even if I do say so myself, Darvaza old boy, this is your best work up to now.
Tell me my new watery corpsefriend, how does it feel? All the faculties in order? Got any feeling in the ol' graspers? Craving algae yet?"
"Thanks for helping me there Engie. Would you mind lending a hand building a still? The materials are already here, collected by some of our compatriots, so for someone of your skill level it should be child's play. It'll help these second-chance lemmings here not decompose. Also, all the homebrewed moonshine we can handle, that should liven this place up!"
Over the radio: "Hey Muffin, you still ok down there?"

You admire your handwork, return to your body, yell at the zombie over the radio and then attempt to make mole claw gloves.
Have you got everything for them? I forget if I ever gave a recipe for it.
Verne considers grafting starfish flesh onto himself to improve his durability and physique. He also wonders about:
a)Steel bones
b)Incorporating a crystal energy source into himself
c)Attaching his rifle to his own body and nervous system
Could knowledge enhance any of these?
Verne moves meanwhile to where the end of the cavern with the spiral mosaic column and looks for something interesting, making sure Joshua gets the now empty box.
"Good job, fleshperson mystic. I got you some materials, by the way."

Tony's Nervous System minus brain [Transmitting 3-organic 4]
Highly radioactive white powder [Toxic 4] [Inside Verne]
Thick heavy silver box used by starfish people to store above toxins (given it to Joshua)
In quest of:
Sniper rifle is probably 3 xstructural 4-containing 2, Transmitting 3 (got)
Explosives shells; Structural 3 (got), explosive 3, projectile 3 (got).
Steel bones might increase your body stat, but replacing all your bones is something very difficult and likely to just kill you.
To do what, exactly?
For the purpose of?
Depends on how you go about doing it.
That spiral mosaic is halfway across this massive cavern, you have no way to know its there, and Nameless got there in the crawler across the cavern ceiling where as you do not have a crawler and are on an island. I don't think you can just swim it.
If players or waitlisters are still being accepted here is mine also I checked the wiki and it said this was where sheets should go.
Name Yarrick "Deadeye" Higliam
Archetype:Former Soldiers
Backstory: Deadeye was a part of the Shamur guard, as a combat engineer and later as a artilleryman, taking part in dozens of missions killing and watching as friends died around him. When he got out promised himself he wouldn't have to kill for a living although lack of work and money for starting up a buisness has made that impossible. He has joined the dig to fill his stomach and hopefully earn enough money to own his own shop. Although he can't stop feeling a sense of pride from every kill he makes.
Appearance: He is a veteran soldier and moves with easy confidence. He has scars from bullets on his chest and shrapnel scars on his face.

We accept anyone. You spawn up in the bore.
Get back on the bore and give Joshua the required materials.
There's those materials I was asking about.
I'll do his roll here. [41] He makes those claws! Yay!
The zombie starfish wriggles a bit when spoken to, but otherwise does not answer, or even really show that it understood the question. After a few seconds of awkward silence, it clumsily shuffles away.
Hmm. Are there any benefits granted by starfish form? Natural weapons? Natural armor? Strength? Diving ability? Immunity to the radioactive dust soon to kill us all? Can starfish even speak English?
As for an actual action, Sifeebt will return to his old body, and inspect it.

Inventory:
Partially (?) destroyed diving suit (10 armor, by old corpse)
Eye Disk (uninstalled, by old corpse)
You have natural 20 armor. I'd bump your body stat if it wasn't already huge. And you get bonuses for melee damage. And no, you cannot speak
Your old body is, well, pretty blown the fuck out. Missing most of the head part.
Over the radio: "Hey Muffin, you still ok down there?"
"I'm already back on the bore. I got bored being alone down there. I dragged that starfish corpse up for you lot, by the way. It also had three like, bladed gauntlets or something."
Yo peedubs, did I get any knowledge for beating that starfish?
Yeah, actually we should do this as a group.
Real quick, everyone tell me your exploratory, fighty or other achivements in this time period of exploring worm island. I'll reward knowledge accordingly.,
