Its suppoused to be three on either side of the mouth, making 6 total.

Also, maybe we should state the size in inches, feet, whatever, rather than just saying size 2, size 3 and so on now that we are multicellular? I'm okay with the size 2, size 3, etc stuff, just a thought here as its up to you and whatever works best for you.

Anyways, maybe investigate the smaller yellow creatures.?

Sizes are relative just so that I don't have to deal with that

[Paranatural]

Move towards where the yellow creatures are and eat anything I can find there.

[maxicaxi]

My actions will be: Investigate the smaller yellow creatures, eating everything edible in the way I happen to bounce into, and prepare for distraction and salvage if others decide to attack.

[Toaster]

Move to the yellows, eating anything I can on the way.  If I have to ram it first, fine.

Just an idea of mine here, I was thinking that maybe I could try to draw your creatures as well as mine? Maybe separately since it will be harder for me to make them look good in a small space since I have issues with fine motor control. Doing them individually on Paint.NET will be easier for me as I can look at it as a bigger whole.

I'm not planning on doing a drawing for everybodys creature every time it mutates or reaches a major evolutionary point as I wanted to just do mine. Since I'm going to have alot of free time soon since my class is ending, I just thought I'd do this for fun.

I already have an idea of how the creatures look like, now that they aren't just a single cell anymore, and yes I'll put carp-style barbels on yours maxicaxi . Not exactly sure about Paranatural's creature with the tiny fins all over and what that would look like.

If you guys don't want me to draw yours, I'll respect that.

[NoctisVampire]

Feel free to do that
I would have done things like that a lot if only I have any artistic talent, a scanner, or a tablet computer
Drawing with mouse in Paint or GIMP simply doesn't work for me...

All of the cells decide to swim over to the school of little creatures buzzing around and find out what is going on with them. They seem to get a little spooked by smjjames constant color changing, but aren't yet hostile.  Frelock gets the wrong idea and decides to "distract" them with his tail.. *flash*

This serves to whip up the little group of yellow creatures into a frenzy, and now you have the undersea equivalent to an angry swarm of bees. You think you count about 7 of them, all pretty small cylinder shaped and moving around with some sort of water jet propulsion. And just like a bee, they have a spiked "stinger" on what looks to be their back end. You suspect this might just be poisonous.

So now you have an angry swarm of "bees" at hand, just how are you going to handle this?  If one creature gathers their attention, it might help the others, but put itself in danger..

*Man you guys had some crappy rolls, I had intended to for this to be the first major threat to the lives of some of your cells, but your rolls dug the hole a little deeper*  Might want to think a little creatively with how you coordinate your actions on this one.

Turn 14

[smjjames]

Maybe instead of confronting those, we should RUN! or rather SWIM LIKE HELL AWAY! And considering the bad rolls we got....

Also, to repeat, I'm suppoused to have 6 tentacles total, three on either side of the head.

I'll leave running like hell as a reserve option, but now that I've thought about it for a bit, I think i have an idea.

1. Maxicaxi swims just ahead of us and unleashes his biological flashbang (minus the bang), that way if he overshoots, he is less likely to paralyze all of us.

2. Not sure what the herbivores can do, but I know what the carnivores should do. Toaster, ram full speed into the group, given their small size, that will either seriously wound some and maybe kill a few. Since I'm the only one with a mouth weapon at this point (and in the proccess of evolving primitive jaws at that. Toaster and Maxicaxi, it might be a good idea to evolve mouth weapons ASAP), chomp away at the creatures. I have enough damage that I could probably kill one without a crit. I guess Maxicaxi could get at any open wounds or something. At the same time, we can eat any meat and DNA since we're going to have to heal on the fly if we get stung.

3. Perhaps the herbivores can be on healing duty and/or distraction duty? We should be able to heal ourselves with any food reserves, although I'm the only carnivore with significant food reserves atm.

Edit: Knight85, shouldn't Toasters head shield count as one point of armor in his stats?

[Knight85]

It only counts as armor against defensive weapons when he is attacking. Not a full armor. AKA, he's less likely to impale himself on a spike while ramming

Remember, these things are smaller than you, but fast. Getting away is possible, but not all of you will necessarily make it.

Ill make a change to the tentacle description, but as far as practical application, they still function the same as your previous pseudopods. Pretty much just for grabbing. A little hint, with two damage, if you get a hit you're going to get a kill.

1. Maxicaxi swims just ahead of us and unleashes his biological flashbang (minus the bang), that way if he overshoots, he is less likely to paralyze all of us.

Now thats thinking   Assuming Maxicaxi agrees, an overshoot would likely end up as a good overshoot.

Okay cool, thanks. I knew the function wouldn't change, just wanted to get the description right.

Yea, I really don't want a repeat of what happened previously.

[Paranatural]

Even with a 5 herbivores are pretty much useless at doing anything other than distraction. I was trying to get enough food/DNA to mutate a weapon/defense system but it there doesn't seem to be anything for herbivores around here.

I guess we could try and make with the whole 'distract' thing again. I have 4 health so even if I get an overshoot and they hit me I should be able to survive a round. Unless they all hit.

If more people agree with this, then I'll definetly go for this one since we have the healers to keep us alive. Whether the plan works or not depends alot, if not entirely, on maxicaxis lazor getting a good roll, and his attack boost for this turn means that the worst he can roll and still overshoot is a 4. So there is a very good chance of this working.
