Slowly move into a favorable position for ambush, ready to shoot out pseudopoda. Then when close to one or more cells, AMBUSH!

Afterwards, gather up as many food particles and DNA as possible, with emphasis on DNA.

Except that YOU don't have pseudopoda.

Pretty cool turn guys

Rolls are final numbers after modifiers.

Spoiler: Frelock (click to show/hide)

[1]You go into your crazy distraction dance again, and it fails horribly. Nothing noticed you, and you've managed to burn off 2 food in the effort. You're too worn out to look for food.

Spoiler: smjjames (click to show/hide)

[6]You join the other organisms in a sweeping attack and single out one of the scavengers. It runs away from Toaster and runs right into you, you latch on your pseudopods and start to smother the cell, but not enough enough to engulf it...

Suddenly Toaster SMASHES into the cell, combined with your grip, this impact rips the cell apart +1 Food +1 DNA from this creature.

You gather some other nearby DNA (+1 scavenger) and gain +4 DNA

Spoiler: Paranatural (click to show/hide)

You pull off a good distraction, that allows smjjames to grab a cell unnoticed. You  decide you need DNA most, and scavenge, finding +2 DNA

Spoiler: maxicaxi (click to show/hide)

[4]You ignore all the commotion of combat and just decide to eat the leftover parts like crazy. You gain +2 Food +2 DNA

Spoiler: NoctisVampire (click to show/hide)

[4] You concentrate on scavenging the remains of the previous battle. There isn't much left of the cell smjjames attacked by the time you get there, so you just continue finding algae and cell parts.
You find a big chunk of a leftover cell and absorb it. [+1 DNA] also you find some other DNA around [+1 DNA] and some algae [+1 food]

Spoiler: Toaster (click to show/hide)

[6] You make a Kamikaze run on one of the cells, at first it runs, but then catches notice of Paranatural, you smash headlong into the cell, blowing it apart.
+1 Food +1 DNA
You then much on some nearby parts +2 Food +2 DNA
Special Ability gained! Ramming speed!!!!
You gain the ability to mutate an offensive ramming weapon without first making an appendage, this is in addition to your predator mouth.

Player and next turn status arriving shortly.

[smjjames]

All right, mutation time! I think.

[Knight85]

Thanks for pointing out the tag missing.

Just a little reminder for those of you who just got your first growth or mutation.

Growth gives you +2HP that can either go towards your main body or to form a permanent appendage for attaching weapons. Carnivores already have a free mouth weapon slot.  Each appendage costs 1 HP, and can be strengthed as well.

Part mutations: Basically come up with whatever external part you can think of, whether it  weapon/propulsion/armor  (Ill assign what category it falls into)  Who knows maybe a particularly creative part could earn a special ability. Just remember, a really bad roll in a particularly outlandish part could end up giving you negatives..   Also you can add as many parts as you want, but each additional part comes at a -1.  (Very good rolls on previous parts can offset this)

Turn 5

After that crazy battle that saw a cell literally get ripped apart, the organisms are still fairly well prepared for combat.

There had been 5 cells in the area previously, 1 exploded, 2 escaped once the battle started. However, 2 of them were distracted by Paranormal and are still here.

One of them is smaller than some in the group, but seems to be moving around pretty quickly.  It looks otherwise harmless.

The other cell, you somehow hadn't noticed before, this one looks like it means business. It is larger than anyone in your group, seems to be trailing a mist and has an appendage with a spine looking weapon attached.  You might be able to take it, but care and planning should be taken with this one.

The parts of an earlier battle are still floating around in pretty decent amounts.
There is just an average amount of algae in the area.

[smjjames]

Nah, just checked and you simply forgot to close the tag for maxicaxi, which merged it into the one you had for toaster.

[Paranatural]

1:Mutate a way to move faster (Cilium would be nice actually. If not, then a Flagellum)
2: Mutate a Mouth, to eat faster

Oh, and I guess I should post an action, too:

What else? I'm an Herbivore! Eat!

[Knight85]

1:Mutate a way to move faster (Cilium would be nice actually. If not, then a Flagellum)
2: Mutate a Mouth, to eat faster
3: Eyes. I want sensory parts!

Oh, and I guess I should post an action, too:

What else? I'm an Herbivore! Eat!

Just a warning, each additional part comes at an additional -1, meaning rolling a three without getting any bonuses from previous rolls would probably leave you blind. You will be getting eyes at size 3 automatically.

What else? you pulled off a pretty good distraction before   Also nothing says you cant eventually mount weapons and join battle yourself, even if you can't get food from it.

[Frelock]

Eat whatever I can.

[Paranatural]

Ok, just the first two, then.

[smjjames]

That 'mist' is in fact a poison cloud. So, avoid that at all costs.

First do some mutation:
1. Evolve a ring of 'teeth' around the mouth to puncture cells, add this to the mouth weapon slot.
2. Develop cillium for a speed and maneuverability boost


Then gather as much food as possible (need that growth stage), all the while keeping an eye on the dangerous looking cell.

Ignore the little scavenger buzzing around.

Edit: On second thought, decided to put the mouth weapon first to take advantage of the +1 to mutation roll.

[Toaster]

I think you forgot my -1 to attack.  Also, shouldn't I have 9 food now?

Hope I can still keep my special- I'd love to have a nice ram-type weapon.  Going to read up on cell biology to best plot this out.  Action and mutation will be here shortly.
