[Superdorf]

its ivory burden.

Almost certainly bones. This thing, whatever it is, is not to be trifled with. Based on current knowledge, I suspect the slime attacks that which comes close enough to it, ignoring anything outside its range of... vision? Hearing? Whatever.

I'm... not sure how to deal with this, actually.

Is there anything inside the wagon?

[March]

Looking around in the wagon; three shattered phials, a flat square of pouch cloth, dry blood, a single palmable metallic stick, a single arrow, two halves of a broken holed wood tube.

[Naturegirl1999]

Throw the arrow at the slime, near the edge, hopefully breaking off a chunk

[March]

Grabbing up the arrow, you throw it at the slime.
It sticks into it.

The slime reacts to the arrows intrusion violently, wriggling and jerking.

The slime ejects its innards rapidly, shrinking dramatically and creating a wet pool of refuse.
It's now more the size of a housecat & slides away about a sword, arrow still poking out of it.

Take off part of the top of the wagon, to hold above me to act as shade while continuing to follow the path

[Superdorf]

...Well then. That worked.

Also, what's in that "pool of refuse" the slime ejected? Any good-sized bones or whatever?
Also also, I still want that club. Inspect the wagon for a clubby chunk of wood we could break off and wield.

There is a metal thing, and also the two parts of the wooden tibe

[March]

You pull off the cover of the wagon, it comes loose from its fasteners and drapes over top of you.

Poking your head out to look at the pool; a lot of gleaming assorted long bones & flat bones, shiny metal dust, and rocks.

You grip and shake several parts of the wagon, but it's far too sturdy to break in this way.
You touch the metallic stick, it's pretty much identical to the other four you dropped a little while ago.
You touch the broken tube; "♪♫♪", comes to mind.

The slime is waving pseudopods at the arrow attempting to dislodge it, but is otherwise not moving position.

[Naturegirl1999]

Try to see if we can move with the cover over us. Try to move the hole we made to where we can see through it while the top of our head is covered, like a hood. Follow the path we found earlier

[March]

You cover your head with the untorn white wagon cover, and move around a bit unhindered.
The wagon is on the path; it goes "pas" ward past the slime & east toward the rising sun, it's about a wagon or so wide and edged by dense orkbark.

[King Zultan]

Lets give the slime a wide birth and continue down the path.

We were going east original.y, do you want to continue east or backtrack pas?

[King Zultan]

To the east!

[Naturegirl1999]

To the east!
