What can the slime be used for?

Well, things are fine now. For now.

Doraido goes to sleep.

[Glass]

"Fertilizer, probably. If nothing else, I can petrify it."

[Failbird105]

"It seems that, if nothing else, the tree has gotten warmer."

[Maximum Spin]

Old Oak has been contemplating an idea for some time and, now that things are quiet, finally decides (after slow deliberation) to make the effort to share it. Pianissimo and lento, in violin and cello harmony, it hums, "Would you try, dense coat of vines, insulation, keep out wind and frost?"

[Supernerd]

*Update delayed on account of no actions*

[Glass]

(Sorry about that, been busy.)

Petra

Try to bring the remains of the slime to the tree, then raise another Vinewall (1.0) to complete the wall around the tree.

[Supernerd]

Winter 10, Year 0



The snow is beginning to melt!

Petra attempts to move the slime remains... And takes 1 damage! The former slime remains where it is for now.

Petra brings up a vinewall at 1.0 magnitude around the tree. There is now something that resembles an actual wall around the tree! It won't stop any serious attacks, but non-serious attacks might be warded off once or twice now!

The tree is now poorly encircled by defenses.

Health: N/A
Status: N/A

Skillset: Absorption Line/Life/Light/???
Abilities:
[Absorption Line] Absorb Flesh: Absorbs the flesh by extending the branches to skewer a target. The collected materials are converted to useful minerals, and the waste turned to fertilizer.

[Light] Light Bind: Bands of light are cast at a target, before locking into place as solid constructs, restricting movements. Can be targeted to specific parts.

Name: Inanna

Status: N/A
Power Multiplier: N/A
Skillset: Man Eater/Spores/Carnivorous Plants/???
Abilities:
[Man Eater] Slavering Maw: Takes a crunch out of the target with Inannas acid drooling maw. Not only is the bite likely to remove chunks out of less sturdy creatures, but the acid will rapidly wear away at the rest.
[Spores] Lovely Mist: A cloud of spores that induce delusions and feelings of love in beings that inhale them.
[Carnivorous Plants] Giant Sundew: Grows a massive Sundew, large enough to ensnare animals in its grasp. The adhesive it uses to hold its prey is moderatly acidic, but not enough to kill a man in any appreciable time period.

Health: N/A
Status: N/A
Power Multiplier: N/A
Skillset: The Fighter/The Willful/The Sculptor/???
Abilities:
[The Fighter] Barkfists: Covers Oakstance's fists in thick, rough wood, increasing the damage of his punches and adding the potential for a minor stun. Layers peel away as he attacks. # of hits is equal to power multiplier.
[The Willful] Defiant Roar: Buffs all physical Dryads offence-wise. Increases in power based on how many foes are in the area, especially enemies actively threatening/damaging the Tree.
[The Sculptor] Cloudshape: Change the cloud cover in the area. Has the potential to change the weather if used multiple times in succession, like stopping or starting a storm, or filling the area with fog. Requires a very high power multiplier to work as advertised.

Name: Old Oak
Tier: Spirit
Health: N/A
Status: N/A
Power Multiplier: N/A
Skillset: Agility/Trickery/Snakecraft/???
Abilities:
[Agility] Spry for its Age: Old Oak can use this ability to blink-dodge around in combat, being somewhere it wasn't moments ago, catching foes by surprise and avoiding, or at least attempting to avoid, their attacks.
[Trickery] I'll Use Illusion: Old Oak can prepare detailed illusions in his vicinity, and can act as though those illusions are real as long as it's 'fast enough for the universe not to notice'; say, using an imaginary ramp to climb up to a high place, as long as the high place was really there to begin with, or chopping a real apple with an imaginary, uhh, slap-chop.
[Snakecraft] Summon Smaller Snake: Old Oak can make small snakes out of... whatever materials happen to be convenient. The materials chosen affect the snakes' properties. Not all materials are snake-able

Name: Aracnea

Health: N/A
Status: N/A
Power Multiplier: N/A
Skillset: Venom/Web Spinning/Spider Summoning/???
Abilities:
[Venom] Venomous Bite: Targets bitten by Aracnea will be injected with venom, which will do damage over time. Duration determined by power multiplier
[Web Spinning] Make Webs: Webs can be made, often functioning as traps, larger webs take more time to make
[Spider Summoning] Spider Control: Depending on how far away Aracnea is from a spider, she can have it attack a specific target.

Petra

Fabricate (1.0) a shovel, and use it to move some of the slime near the tree. If it damages it, move it away; otherwise, move the rest over.

"Damn slime... Doraido, I'm thinking once we can pull someone else, I want you. Best to have someone who can heal so we don't have to rely on mana for that."

[TricMagic]

It seems it may be soon if Spring comes. Maybe use the slime to dissolve the snow? Hopefully warmth comes soon.

[Supernerd]

Spring 1, Year 1



Spring has finally arrived!

The tree begins to awaken, and for the first time in quite a while it starts to produce mana once again!

Petra creates a stone shovel at 1.0 magnitude, and moves the slime to be near the tree; but not quite in contact with it. Mere proximity to the slime does not cause damage so the remaining slime is also moved. The shovel looks a bit worse for wear now. Not much though.

The tree is poorly encircled by defenses.

Old Oak sighs and votes, without speaking, for just fucking around for another... day... or whatever these are so we can get to the MANIFESTING. Even though it knows that it's not first choice on the list. It has opinions on who should be and what should be done next, but it doesn't feel the need to express these right now. It does hope Petra will get around to using its idea from before, though.

[Glass]

Petra

Use the shovel to start digging a trench, just outside the vinewall circle, packing the dirt into the gaps in the vinewall as I do so. Any notable resources will be gathered and kept for later use.

[Naturegirl1999]

do any of us summon yet or do we wait?

[TricMagic]

(color=lightgrey]do any of us summon yet or do we wait?

[Not yet, though I think Glass wants a healer that doesn't need to spend Mana. Next turn there will be enough.]

Spring 2, Year 1



Slowly but surely, the tree begins to grow and leaves begin to form. After a long winter, the tree finally has that 5 mana that I just know you all were waiting for so eagerly!

Petra begins to dig around the vines, some of which still survive to this day in the more lenient weather. Nothing of interest beyond the grass and dirt were discovered as of yet...

Something appears to be approaching from the distance!

The tree is poorly encircled by defenses.
