+Prickly Body
Glop scans the area around itself, and absorbs more brambles to see if it becomes more prickly.
1 - Catastrophic Failure - Scan1 - Catastrophic Failure - AbsorbGlop moves forward to nibble on some brambles and finds the ground give way underneath them! Glop tumbles into the darkness...
Glop finds themselves resting on
cold dungeon slabs. They can see a hole in the ceiling above them where they fell letting in the smallest amount of light. The room is mostly empty with an exit on each wall.
You are in a
Unassuming Dungeon Room. There are no other slimes nearby.
>>> Up in the Ceiling: Hole to the Briar Tunnel
>>> North: Wooden Dungeon Door with Iron fittings, the sound of scratching and distant squabbling
>>> East: rubble-filled tunnel, emitting a greenish glow
>>> West: meandering dirt tunnel, sound of dripping and splashing
>>> South: Web-filled corridor
Realization; trying is for slimes that never grow.
Esk scans for these delicious looking bugs and eats some! And whatever else is close and scans as yum.
4 - Partial Success - AbsorbEsk finally gets to eat those tasty treats! Esk chomps down on a plethora of ants. There are some gem like scarab creatures mixed in among the fern foliage.
Choose a Passive Trait:
*[1/3] Hardened Body, Partial - You feel your back and sides harden, mimicking the exoskeleton of the bugs you consume.
*[1/3] Glistening Body - You take on a slight iridescent sheen, glinting in the light. Pretty!!
Or an Active one:
*[1/3]Scent Trail: Leave behind a trail of pheromones that some insects can follow.
1 - Critical Failure - ScanOuchy! Your goo-brain(?) hurts from all this thinking! You flee in a random direction...
You are standing on a smooth, slick rocky outcropping. In front of you is a steaming pool of water. The air here is thick with a mint-like scent. Shrubs squat in between the cracks of the rock.
A large rodent-like creature, with reddish brown fur and huge gnashing teeth, lazily paddles across the pool.
There are no other slimes nearby.

+Sticky Body
Mire heads north and scans the area.
Mire enjoys the sensation of things lightly sticking to them and then dropping off, leaving a slight trail of debris in their wake. They scan happily at the new location.
3 - Mixed Success ScanFlies: Fat buzzing flies with bulbous, multi-faceted eyes dart around, curious about the carnivorous plants. You watch one meet it's slow demise inside a golden sun pitcher's belly. They have tiny wings and bristled legs. While they do not directly poison, they are harbingers of disease, due to their favourite places including dungheaps and rotfiends.
Odorous Flower: This pungent red flower sits innocently in the middle of a cleared area on the dirt. Critters avoid going near it, but flies and other insects are buzzing around it like mad.
Ancient Trees - Thick barked colossal flora that stretches up into the sky and ground. Teaming with life of all kinds.
You are currently surrounded by lush foliage. Blob 001 is here, rooted in place.
North: An Open Clearing
East: Thicker Forests
West: Muddy Foliage
South: Starting Slime Pits
Gurrglux Heads WEST.
1 - Catastrophic FailureGurrglux gets lost!
Gurrglux is standing on a muddy plain. Hardy shrubs squat defiantly close to the ground as mosquitos buzz between small puddles. Misshapen boulders offer respite from the dangerous terrain.
You don't know where you are. There are no other slimes nearby.

Blob 001 scans more in the area and absorb the stuff around it.
5 - Total SuccessBlob's whole body reverberates as they receive a moment of pure understanding. It is not like a verbal or visual thought, just pure instinctual knowledge. This is what it means to be a slime.
Blob learns the following:
Mole Underground: You can detect something digging in the ground some ways beneath you! giant hardy claws work away at the earth as a whiskered snout twitches, detecting it's environment.
Horned Rabbit nearby: A grey-tufted rabbit prances through the foliage, it's two muscled back legs propelling it forward. A small, cone-shaped
Bird diving down among the ferns to eat bugs: a cyan-plumed bird with a viscous beak swoops down among the ferns to scoop up tasty bugs that catch it's eye.
Chameleon hiding halfway up the tree, camouflaged: Lucky you have your slime scan ability! Regular eyes would not pick up this strange creature, camouflaged against the thick bark, nearly invisible.
6 - Overdid itAbsorb -
Oh no! Blob became overconfident in their ability after such a successful scan and the absorption goes horribly wrong! Blob is
Dazed and cannot absorb this turn.
Blob has gained the passive trait,
Roots, and is currently immobile, rooted in their spot! Blob will have to do something to get out of this jam.
Gain ?Passive? Skill:
*? ? ? Roots - You have sprouted small white brittle roots that have buried themselves in the ground. Gain awareness of what's happening underground in your immediate vicinity. Gain the ability to absorb nutrition from the soil. In your current condition with a 100% slime body (no animal or creature traits adapted fully yet), absorbing nutrition feels pretty good but doesn't remove your hunger, as Slimes are always slightly peckish. But it is satisfying.
You are standing with Mire among the foliage.
Bloat calmly changes trajectory, intent to eat everything he can get his...well not hands on, but you get the idea!
4 - Partial SuccessBloat is really starting to get the hang of this! Bloat rumbles forward and starts absorbing everything in his vicinity.
Choose a Passive Trait:
*[1/3] Unsettling: Creatures in your immediate vicinity will feel unsettled by your off-putting aura...
*[1/3] Stinky: There is a notable odor emanating from you. Whether this is a positive or negative thing depends on the creatures nearby and how you utilize it.
*[1/2] Feeler Nubs: Two small mounds appear on Bloat's head. They seem useless in their current state - purely cosmetic.
You are in the Safe Starting Slime Pits.
