You form yourself to be a small duplicate of your Rollio husk; you then extremely slowly climb up the wall and stick to the ceiling.

(you do have sticky climb but it means walls and ceilings act as difficult terrain where you can only move at a sword a turn, but you can act as normal as long as any part of you is stuck to a surface, spider climb this isn't)

Still. Cool.

While we're going memory diving, let's try and recall: do we need to eat?

You try to recall if you need to eat; you are pretty sure that you do actually eat... in fact the last thing you ate was not long ago...

(while inside a host you will remain fed, you can eat organic materials or inorganic materials if there aren't organics available, as well you will eat any unnecessary parts of objects you mimic with if you are hungry)

So... we've been slowly consuming Rollo's brain like a lump of jerky.  :o
Do we know what happens when we take something into our husk's digestive system?

(the last thing you ate was part of Ungas...any edible bits of Rolliohusk's brain are long gone)
Depends on the husk, it goes in and well nothing happens if its dead or inanimate, if the body is alive though it will act as normal.

Which implies that oatmeal we ate awhile back is going to bounce around in there until it decays... yecch.

There's one more thing I'd like to try.
Be a bat. Fly.

You take the form of a bat and attempt to fly; you fall to the ground, you may look like a flying creature but you can't fly.

(mimics don't have fly speed)

Ah well... was worth a shot.

It seems we can't grant ourselves movement speeds we didn't already have... I'm curious to know if we can increase our existing movement speed.

Be that rabbit again. Can we run faster than we hover while amorphous?
We do hover while amorphous, yes?

You take the form of a rabbit again, but you don't really move any faster.
(you do not hover while formless you walk on pseudopod feet, and I'm say this: you do not change your movement speed by changing your form it'd be too much work to look up and work out speed for any random thing you'd change into)

It makes sense that movement speed would remain constant, as we are still us, just a different shape

Assume our husk and go back to the gate, let’s check on the silent armored human who headed to the group to make sure he didn’t attack them

(what armored human?)

You go to assume your husk; but it doesn't move.

Once you are over the fence you notice someone is standing next to the Ankheg, almost ghostlike the person seems to be Sylvan. You stop still and crouch low to the ground sure he must have seen you, he makes no movements to indicate he's seen you so you begin moving... you are about halfway there when the man turns towards you and begins moving, you freeze, he passes by you saying as he passes by, "I'm only here to guard the people we came with." he then mounts the fence and passes over it silently despite his jingly attire and rapid movement.
Oh, jingle attire, I for some reason thought of metal when I heard that

What do you mean, our husk doesn’t move?
Can we still control our husk?

Oh wait, we're still a rabbit.

Take up our usual, amorphous form, and try again.
