World Difficulty:
95. As you look outside a blizzard obscures your vision for a few moments, before you manage to see an opening in the clouds. High above your position a massive mountain floats in the sky covered in distant verdant green trailing waterfalls of sparkling water. Spires made from some sort of white stone are visible, and a crystaline chime is barely heard before the image is swallowed up by the clouds once more.

Gather attempt, Bring the chainsaw as a self defense weapon and go in search of Ice Wolves I can tame. Or kill the Abominable Snowman, and bring it's body back to the ship.
Oh and leave all my other stuff behind, except the fuel barrel.
attempt: 57+2=59
quality: 2
quantity: 19-2=17
Putting everything but your fuel barrel into group storage, you protect yourself from the cold and head out into the blizzard. You first attempt to find animal life, or even any life for that matter, and unfortunately nothing but blowing snow and massive frozen glaciers greet you. In the end you give up on your hunt, and grab a few icicles to bring back to the ship.
+59 gather exp(~!levelup!~)
+ 3 foot long icicles(frozen water, worth about 1 liter per icicle)
Lets go see if theres anybody around to Trade with.
attempt: 14
Heading out into the blizzard proves no easier for you, but with the intent on trading your idol and necklace you spend the day searching anyway. Eventually, you return to the ship with no luck and time wasted.
+14 trade exp
Trade. I try to find intelligent lifeforms to trade my crafted items I'm carrying with me right now. Before I do go I leave the iron bar, the 5 packs of batteries and two units of plasma in the group storage.
attempt: 47-10=37
Fairing little better than Fireheart, you do however manage to find a very suspicious cave with a triangular crystal in the middle. With no idea what it does or why, you have to return to the ship empty handed.
+37 trade exp
Craft. I will mix the crab ichor with the scorpion ichor in a mad genetic experement to create scorpiocrabs.
attempt: 91
quality: 82

It's alive, ALIVE!!! [
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxG8UjgMAU4] White lab coat and lack of glasses be damned, you have control of the DNA of every strand in the two amounts of arthropod blood. With a little tweak here, a fusion there, and maybe a wee bit of electical trauma, a strange new creature is grown from nothingness. You dub the black shelled creature a scorpiocrab. With a single hard shell from a crab, and an enlarged left claw, the roundish creature actually has two extra appendages from the rear of the beast that end in deadly looking scorpion stingers. The creature has eight legs, three compound eyes on stalks, and seems to walk sideways.
+182 genetic engineering exp(~!Levelup!~)
+320 crafting influence
+ 1 scorpiocrab(Alive)(1 large black crab claw, 2 large black scorpion stingers, 8 scorpiocrab legs, 3 scorpiocrab eyes, 16oz scorpiocrab meat, 10oz purple ichor, 5oz scorpiocrab offal, approximately 6 large pieces of black chitin)
!base influence:160!Note: was going to make actual growth of the animal another crafting action, but you did roll a crit. So congrats.
Buy another glass tool and craft a glass neon crab out of two small piles of green rocks. Also, place the *Crab Meat Roast* into group storage.
Another 250 influence spent, and the ship gives you a tiny metal rod used to help more delicate glass sculpting tasks. +1 glass sculpting equipment. (chose sculpting since you didn't specify)
Attempt: 56+20+1=77
quality: 36
base influence: 73+36=109
The last of the green rocks are pulverized and converted into glass. You deftly use your new sculpting rod to mold the glass into a large crab shape. The little guy is quite cute, and even colored slightly with some of the red crab chitin crushed and mixed into the glass.
+77 glass scuplting exp(~levelup!~)
+109 crafting influence
+ 1 skillfully made glass crab
!base influence:109!Dd te e. vrthss, od ro.
Place the sawdust and shaving in the group storage. Then begin the work on the dreaded silk belt.
attempt: 9+20+1=30
Cloth. It hates you. Honestly. All you can seem to do is wrap it around in the general shape of what you want. Maybe you should ask a fellow creator to help? Because fate just dosen't like you on this end.
+30 silkcrafting exp
Note: I laughed far too long when that 9 rolled. >.> Maybe buy some silkcrafting gear? You do have a fair bit of influence you could spend.
I had a great theme song to go with this world, and then the traders both failed. Perhaps next turn will be better. For now, we can go with Grek's action theme song. XD
Anyone guessed what world you are on yet? It has a specific name.
