Autumn 9, Year 1
The last leaf has fallen from the treeOakstance attempts to find a way to revoke a Dryad's physical form and recycle their mana. It will NEVER be possible to get mana refunded from a spell, but you now have a means of terminating a problematic dryad.
Doraido lifelinks one of the mice to Petra, negating the link to the Bucket Slime and establishing a new link between Petra and the Mouse.
Doraido lifelinks one of the mice to Petra, negating the link to the other mouse and establishing a new link between Petra and the second Mouse.
The mice flee the area, and the Bucket Slime is no longer immediately relevant.
Petra taunts the Goat Slime and attempts to lure it out of the area. As Petra is the only reason the Goat Slime is still here, this works pretty well. Petra is now in the south area, as is the Goat Slime. There isn't really anywhere else you can run to from there.
In the south zone, you can see some withering foliage. A white spider is on the prowl here.
Goat Slime: 51/60 hp (South area)
Mouse: 2/2 hp (8/17 LL:1) (In another area)
White Spider: 5/5 hp (South area)
