Squelchy, the Apex Omnislime (Coolrune206)
Squelchy decided to circle around the dangerous area, using the extra time it now has to split off some tiny Squelchies from its main body using genesis.
[Genesis]
-4HPIn an action akin to pulling your hairs, if you had any, you create several pseudo-slimes by splitting bits off your body. Simple and lacking in intelligence, these offshoots can understand basic orders and likewise send back basic answers through the use of slime pheromones.
You then took the
safe path.
[Through the safest path!]
[Easy] 6: [12]
Outcome: [5] -Overshoot-
Following Zed's instructions, your group travelled along the safe area. This part of the jungle was noticeably more colorful than the previous one, the plants there harboured bright and beautiful leaves and flowers. The humid air carried the sweet scent of nectar mixed with a complex palette of flowery fragrance, making you feel at ease. Yet you felt slightly uneasy and on your guard, knowing appearances could be deceptive.
[Perception]
[Moderate-Hard] 12: [14]
Outcome: [3] -Critical Success-
After roughly an hour of uneventful progression, a dawning revelation confirmed your unease. Your senses were being tampered with by this fragrance, and you had been wandering in the wrong direction as a consequence. Furthermore, you noticed this fragrance seemed to rob you of most of your hostility.
For now you kept this information to yourself, pondering on the best course of action to take. Following this route would eventually lead you out of the jungles, but as long as your senses were disoriented, you had no idea where you would actually end up.
If only something could be done about that smell?

Viridikion the Green Dragon Hatchling (randomgenericusername)
Ack! That thing, that long monster just bited me! How... H-how...
How DARE you!?! To attack ME, a dragon? I'll... I"LL...
Viridikion, shaking with rage, leaps towards the snake monster. Try to bite it's head off, or at least latch to it's body with my strong jaws!
[Leap and Bite]
(Str 1 vs Con 0): [12] vs [8]
Critical: [8]
Damage: [4]x1.5=[6]
Welling up with anger, you lept at the snake and successfully bit at its sturdy head. Its scales were surprisingly sturdy, but still less than your fangs. Trying to tear it apart, you shook your head around, causing blood to splatter on the nearby leaves.
[Snake: Coil and Strangle]
(Str 1 vs Con 1): [10]-2 (Badly Wounded) vs [4]
Critical: [9]
Damage: [2]
You suddenly felt a cold and sleek sensation around your neck. Unwilling to go down without a fight, the bitten snake used the rest of its long body to coil around your neck and start strangling you! A fierce struggle for survival ensued.
[Bite]
(Str 1 vs Con 0): [11]-1 (Wounded) vs [9]-2 (Badly Wounded)
Critical: [7]
Damage: [5]x1.5=[7]
You tensed up your jaw muscles to crush its head for good. The snake's grip suddenly increased, before spasming several times, until it started to weaken. Then finally, its movement stopped and you could breath properly once more.
You had survived your first fight, as attested your bloodied face as well as the trophy in your mouth. Your first step into the life of a dragon of the world!

faccinating. Any trails leading away from the building? Perhaps to something that knows where to find humans?
[Searching for Trails]
[Moderate] 10: [7]
Outcome: [4] -Failure-
To your dismay, your search for trails was unfruitful. You did manage to find which exit the previous occupants took, but the traces became too vague once you exited the structures. Returning inside, you rested a bit to recover your energy.
2MP recoveredYou analyzed the place a bit. The partially crumbled walls had a limestone feel and color, and it was unlikely their current ruined state was due to natural causes. A wall there seemed to have collapsed after something struck it for instance, causing the roof to partially collapse.
Now feeling restored, you peeked outside. The ever cloudy sky hadn't changed. The wind was softly blowing, whistling between the rocks.
Two roars were heard afar. Feral and vicious, they must have belonged to one of the many savage beasts of this land. They were likely fighting or going to.

Your visual appearance changed greatly, with your gray color fading away until your body became near transparent. Despite looking less rocky, your body had become sturdier and more resistant to damage.
You looked at the great hole ahead. It was wide enough that circling around it would take a while, give or take an hour or two. You could feel the place was vibrant of life, and that were you to descend in it, you would definitely fight for your life.

Ulkas, the Horned Demon (Sarrak)
Ulkas tsked at his companion berserking eagerness. Something seemed off about this situation. Even Astrosa reactions were a bit too rash and hasty. Surely, nothing could have messed with her mind? Or... Her Eyes. Hm-hm. When she saw the monster first, it was keeping distance. And it continues to keep similar distance ever since, no? One way to check it out.
”Astrosa. NOT HERE! Low visibility and we can’t judge its strength with anything but your Eyes. We need to rise above the cloud range first - it would be much, much colder there, limiting our pursuer as it does not have our artifacts. When it actually shows itself, three of us would analyse how we can win - and CRUSH it.”
Ulkas then observed the crimson demoness with hidden worry.
”Also, you’re losing your temper way too fast, as if you returned just as we met first. Has something happened to trigger your emotions?”
Fly above clouds, check monster out. If Astrosa starts losing control - see if something foreign affects her.
[Analysing Astrosa's behavior]
(Int 5 vs Int 6): [12]+2 (Extreme Analysis 2) vs [13]
Outcome: [2] -Success-
The anomaly within Astrosa's behavior didn't escape your insightful eye, and using your insane analytical skills combined with your great intelligence, you determined the source of the disturbance. Naturally, it came from the beings hiding in the clouds under. Some sort of great field was envelopping the surrounding space with the being at its center. Its structure reminded you of a mind, or rather, an extension of a mind. That field was complex and shifting, and it was subtly manipulating the mental state of those inside it. In short, it had a taunting effect on Astrosa.
So the perpetrator was potentially luring you into a fight? Or maybe testing you? Who knew.
You quickled tested your hypothesis, and prompted Astrosa to follow you upward with a strong voice. At the same time, you noticed your voice had the effect of fighting against that field, lessening its effects on Astrosa.
"!!!" "Y-yes, I... Yes."You both flew upward as fast as you can, until you escaped the field. Immediately Astrosa completely came back to her senses.
(Astrosa seems stabilized. Did you notice something Ulkas?)"What... I suddenly feel much calm, why did I burst into rage again? Why was this guy below getting on my nerves so much?"You kept a close eye on the field, it had changed.
[Advanced Mental Techniques]
Easy 5: [6]
Outcome: [3] -Critical Success-
Surprise. Excitation. Curiosity. These feelings lit suddenly within you as you understood. You smirked. This smart bastard was sending you a message through this field, one that only someone with deep knowledge of the mind could understand.
It said "Smart Move" and "Very Interesting". You thought of many ways of answering. This individual was surely well-versed in mind techniques, and projecting a similar field would allow you to converse. You could also simply attempt to establish a telepathic link. Your options were far from limited.

Gray the Unstable Prismetal Blaster (Beirus)
((Why did I have to roll for Chaotic Shift? I thought that only applied when I'm not in base form.))
Gray rushes the distracted Wraith and strikes with focus. "Threefold Calming Strike!"
Gray forms his blobs into Magnify glyphs and strikes the distracted Wraith with his Calming Fist (TM), using as much mana as necessary to activate the glyph to really hurt this thing and activating the Magnify glyphs to increase the power. Or really calm it and magnify the chillness? I'm not sure if I'm going to be doing actual damage or dosing it with the magical version of marijuana via my fist, but it should be interesting. The important part of the strike isn't so much the strength behind it as precisely hitting a spot near the torso glyph to get the most out of the magnify glyph. Maybe the diaphragm area between the chest and torso if that would work.
((Oh mistake of mine. You shouldn't have rolled for Chaotic Shift, I will keep that in mind for the future.))

Nothing remained of the enemy. You were torn between the thoughts of your power being too great or the wraith being too weak. Nevertheless, you had won with gusto.

Squacks the Carrion Bird - (Devastator)
"It might not be, but they didn't come after us to eat. You know we taste bad to other creatures. And you know we don't need to compete with them for territory, as we eat stuff they don't eat. They came at my flock to kill, and attacked us out of the blue. That's why I want to get them back one.. not just for revenge, but so they'll have a harder time doing it again."
"If you say no, I promised, so I'll go with you and help you settle somewhere else. But I'll come back to this area after that."
Try once more to convince them. If that doesn't work, go with them. Don't pick a fight with anything except other carrion monsters, as competition is only required between creatures with similar ecological niches.
[Suggestion]
[Moderate-Hard] 12: [16]
Outcome: [6] -Overshoot-
The Carrion Birds on scouting duty returned, intrigued by your presence and discussion. These had a more jagged appearance, bearing scars as proofs of the battles they went through.
The Carrion Birds who previously rebuked you nodded and started speaking to refuse again, but one of these jagged Carrion Birds cut them short.
"Hey wait, what this fellow is saying is interesting. I like it, teaching them a lesson to these arrogant scalers' is a great idea. You don't think so?"The tone of this Carrion Bird was slightly menacing. A bird of the "lay low" camp voiced its protest, and another of the "revenge" camp protested back. A great quarrel ensued among the flock, between those who wanted to avoid troubles and those who were on board to kill a wyvern or two.
Flavor: [2]
The birds quickly went from words to beaks and talons, causing the quarrel to devolve into a vicious yet short melee. It was too fast for you to make head or tail of who was attacking who, but you did suffer some scratches.
-1HPThe flock split into two, and the birds who didn't want to fight the wyverns left without asking for more. Addressing themselves to the other birds, the jagged Carrion Bird said:
"Like we need cowards like these! They will just keep eating shit and dirt until they die! Good riddance right?"This bird then turned toward you.
"Hey what's your name? I like your guts, call me Kra! Lead us to the wyverns anytime, we will show them."This female Carrion Bird looked taller and stronger than the weak Carrion Birds who ran away. She was not born to be a carrion, you thought.

Flavor (Battle Royale!): [3]
Your display had made quite an impression on the other contestants, causing them to be very wary of you. You had become the unexpected dark horse of the fight to them. All of you kept staring at each others for several seconds, everyone's tension increasing with each breath.
Two Makralians made a move toward you, instinctively deciding to join forces against you. It caused the remaining six to each fight against a single opponent.

You were prepared for this.
Your body moved faster than the Makralians expected-
Duking to dodge the claw strike of the surprised first Makralian, you slashed it at the midsection, kicking him back and turning to face the other-
The second Makralian reeled in shock, giving you an instant to take advantage of. You rushed forward, causing the Makralian to attack wildly in panic. Too slow. You slashed its arm in the elbow, nearly separating the limb from its body. The terrified Makralian screamed and instantly surrendered, extending his available arm in front of him in a "stop" posture. Behind you, you heard "I surrender too!", coming from the Makralian you cut open.
You eyed the other fights. There was no need to intervene, three of them would win and that would make four victors.

Eximius Res, the Rusty Ring (Hawk132)
As Prias readied to spring the trap, Eximius spoke through their mental link. "Alright, let's do this, kid. Remember that ridding it of the ability to poison is our priority before we get too close."
Regardless of the trap working or not, let's start strong. Activate Blink and if Prias needs a long ranged option - Mana Wave as well.
"Understood. Let's do this."Prias severed a small rope, springing the trap. In an instant the concealed ropes emerged from the ground, tightened and intersecting in a single point. The weights were not enough for the ropes to crush the target, but they would at least restrict its movements while damaging them a bit. Prias was going to emerge from hiding-
No mouth was seen. Yet it screamed. A scream that would fill a human's mouth with blood and vomit.
[Maddening Scream]
(Int 2 vs Ind 1): [6] vs [10]
You saw horrific visions flooding Prias mind. All his loved ones brutally mutilated and crying tears of blood. Limbs. Heads. Blood. Blood. All this Blood. The Heads screamed. Stronger and strong-
"SHUT UP!"Prias overcame the Maddening Scream with his force of will, and executed the plan without a sliver of hesitation. Sever the claws.

Prias rushed in, and with the footwork of forgotten times, he deftly chained two slash in quick succession. None of the slashes lost their momentum, and the bound Hearteater couldn't do anything. Your shortsword form easily severed both clawed hands, causing the monster to emit a scream of pain from its mouthless head.
[Slaying]
[Hard] 14: [9]
Outcome: [5] -Partial Success-
You started adapting to the flesh of the creature. Another strike would let you know its weakness. Suddenly the Hearteater disappeared from the trap.
[Teleportation]
[Moderate-Hard] 12: [16]
Outcome: [6] -Overshoot-
A bell rang behind you. Prias quickly turned toward it, and took a careful stance. The Hearteater grew several arms from its back, each ending with a wicked barb. Breaking its upright stance, the humanoid monster bent forward in a grotesque way, making it look more monstrous.
Prias thought.
"Damn, this one is a piece of work. It's position is good for us though."The Hearteater had teleported in an unsafe zone in relation to the binding trap. Several ropes would violently wipe that area were they to be cut close to the source. Prias was going to cut those ropes.
[Eximius: Perception]
[Hard] 14: [20] -Critical Success-
Fear. This creature is feeling fear. It is only adopting this stance to look more menacing and gain some time, you suspect this teleportation ability has some drawback, maybe a cooldown of some sort? You must attack now and keep your momentum, you just feel it. It would also be better for you to assume a more damaging shape.

You resumed your wandering in the fog, seeking glory, freedom, and answers. In this land seemingly frozen in time, you couldn't tell how long you walked for. Minutes? Hours? Maybe days? Either way, the three of you started noticing a subtle change in the landscape. The scarce and pale vegetation had all but disappeared, and the ground seemed to turn deader with each step. To a living, it would have felt nauseating, but to you, it felt strangely refreshing. The three of you remained silent out of caution.
Sending a glance in each others direction, you nodded. "Something bad is coming again, huh?"

"What in the dev-"The hands yanked his sword from his hands, leaving Vel to stare in disbelief for a second. Then the hands pulled themselves from the ground, revealing partially rotting corpses of soldiers, surrounding the three of you menacingly.
