You decide to go back to the zoo and pick up your translucent cave spider, who you still haven't bothered to name. (18+3) Some people are admiring it's translucency, so you wait a while until they leave and then grab it from it's terrarium. Annoyed at how much time you have wasted, you run back down to the guards. There are only 3 now, perhaps the rest of them went after the creature? If that's the case, you should probably hurry. The guards were all carrying swords, and they are probably not very animal-friendly.

You find a nice corner to hide, and then you release the spider. (76+3) It immediately goes after the guards. One of them notices:
"Hey, isn't that that spider from the zoo in the upper levels?" He is apparently not arachnophobic in the slightest, and tries to pick up the spider. "Do you think they'll reward us for...OW!" (81) He throws the spider to the ground, then exclaims, annoyed: "It bit me! It..." He fell backward, still with the annoyed look on his face. The other two guards immediately run over to his body, giving you an opportunity to get past them. The cave spider follows you as well. It did a great job, so as a reward, you decide to name it. From now on, it’s name is…Translucent Cave Spider. Yeah, you should probably come up with something better later on.

You end up in some kind of large room. You hear the sounds of fighting coming from a house to the left of you, but you also see something move in two other houses. One of them has the door broken down, the other seems to have... flooded, somehow?

Just a note on experience points, you only get them for succesful actions. First level gives +3 to every roll, and it takes 15 experience points to get to Lvl 2, which gives +6.

[Doret]

Those guards were elves? If not, how did our TINY Translucent cave spider with fangs too small to pierce Human,Dwarf,Goblin or Kobold skin be capable of killing the man?

BUT whatevers. Pick up your pet spider and name this spider, Tarar. Decide to give the species the oh so scientific name, Arachnis Tarar. Put Tarar on your shoulder where Tarar likes to sit and think, and be all that calm good stuffs. Pull out your blowgun and darts in pursuit of the beast! If a guard shows up, tell them you were asked to catch the menace so it can be studied and shown to the public.

[Flagrarus]

True, Tarar can't pierce human skin. However, this guard had no skin, as a result of a horrible accident he had when he fell into StanStan's cage one day. I probably should've mentioned that, huh?

Did you think we weren't doing anything evil before you guys showed up?We have spent the last year trying to kill as many guards as we could. We didn't kill a single one, true, but we came pretty close with this guy.

Anyways, you put Tarar on your shoulder and run into the tunnel on the left, because you can still hear sounds of fighting coming from there. This creature must be pretty tough, if it can hold it's own against the guards for this long! You rush around the last corner...

(58) OMG A FLYING BOULDER! It looks almost invulnerable. It does have eyes, but they don't look any more vulnerable than the rest of it's body.
It is fighting 2 guards at once. The third guard lies on the floor, apparently crushed by the monstrous creature. Next to him lies a large steel cage, that looks like it would be just big enough for the boulder to fit in.

The boulder flies up to the cave ceiling and then drops down, as it tries to crush another guard (55v84) But the guard dodges away, and then attacks the boulder with her sword. The sword glances off harmlessly.

Shoot a dart at it, if it doesn't work, RUN LIKE HELL. Also, try to Obtain means of genetically altering Tarar in order to increase the affect of fangs.

[Flagrarus]

The boulder attacks the guard again! (44 v 40 ) This time, it slams into her, and she is knocked over, but not injured. The other guard runs away like a coward, leaving his colleague to die a certain death. Not that you wouldn't have done the same thing, just making an observation here.

The boulder is still distracted by the last guard, so you take this opportunity to fire one of your darts at it.
(24-40) It does nothing to injure the boulder. It does manage to get it's attention, though. You decide to run like hell.

(52 v 15-10) The boulder, that wasn't very fast to begin with, slams into a wall as it tries to follow you. This slows it down enough that it decides there is no point in continuing to chase you.

You are back at the square. You hear loud noises coming from the house with the broken door.

Genetically altering? You mean, changing some part of a creature into something else? You've heard of some ancient machine that was found in the tunnels that could supposedly do something like that. It required two creatures, though.
They tried to bring it to higher levels, but found that it didn’t fit through the tunnels. It is almost certainly in the deeper layers, since that is where most of these ancient relics were found (  like the magical flashlights ), but those are dangerous. Few people go near them.

Boulder you say? This sounds like MAGIC. Oh well, if it's not an animal it does not concern us. Take Tarar back to the zoo so he can be with his children and wife, because everyone knows Arachnis Tara mate for life and live to be OUTRAGEOUSLY old. They also seem to not enjoy eating their children. Sadly NO one recognizes you as their discoverer because someone STOLE all your research that was too make you famous! CURSE YOU (Someone chosen by the GM who is famous)!

[Flagrarus]

You bring Tarar back to the zoo, where he sits alone in his terrarium all day. You don't know how old they get, because you discovered them 2 years ago. You used to have 5, but then you decided to lump them all together. Tarar won, so you kept him as a pet.

You did some pretty extensive research on him, though. Like the effects of his poison on humans ( you had to milk him for his poison, because his fangs can't penetrate human skin, as we all know ). Which was fun. Actually, you think you still have some poison left.

While at the zoo, you try to subtly ask Horl for information about the anient machine. The conversation went something like this: (52)
"Hey, Horl. Do you know something about a machine that changes creatures?"
"What, the one on the 37th level, northwest quarters, past the collapsed rooms and over the Minepass Bridge?:
"Uhm...Thanks."
“You’re not going to go there, are you?”
“No, no, of course not.”
He doesn’t seem very convinced. But at least you have the information you need now.
It is about 1 pm. The zoo closes at 5 pm. ( Telling the time when you’re underground is not as hard as it sounds ).

[Oblivion2007]

Experiment with the bunnies.

How much damage can they safely regenerate?
How long does it take them to regenerate?
Do they require any special environment or diet to regenerate? Are there foods or environments available to us that helps with their regeneration?
Does this regeneration have any side effects on the bunnies?

[Flagrarus]

While you're at the zoo, you decide you should do some experiments on the bunnies. Now, you've already done a few in the past; when you cut one of them open ( you were bored ) and left, a few hours later the bunny was fine when you came back. The second time you did it, you stayed and watched the process. The healing started after about an hour, and it took another hour until the bunny started moving again.

Still, you've only ever cut them open, never done anything drastic. So you jump into the bunny cage and behead one of the 4, probably traumatizing a lot of people. You leave the body and the head in the cage.

Do you want to stay and watch the process? Cut up another bunny? Do something else?

[Doret]

Stay and watch, tell the people that this has been done before. It is a show to gauge just how AMAZING these bunnies regeneration abilities are! Tell anyone around it takes a couple of hours, so if the bunny doesn't heal you can dispose of the corpse after they got bored.

[Megaman]

No, try to get some of Tarar's venom into a few blow darts just in case.

[Flagrarus]

You decide you should stay and watch the regeneration process. But first, you deal with all the traumatized customers.
(28) You tell them that this is actually a show, to show off the regeneration abilities. You do this while licking bunny blood of your knife. It's not working. But, at least it got them to leave!

Horl shows up and complains about you ruining your own business, but you tell him to shut up, this is SCIENCE! and it had to be done.

Once again, after about an hour, the regeneration kicks in. The headless body starts growing back it's head. But then, a few minutes later, you notice something even more amazing. The head is also regenerating, and it is slowly growing back it's body.

It takes about an hour for the head to grow back on the body, but an hour later the head-part still needs to grow back it's two hind legs and it's tail. It is regenerating noticeably faster than it did when it was just the head, though, so it seems that the regeneration speed depends on how much of their body is intact. Five minutes later, it's done regenerating. What will you do now?

FAKE EDIT: While the whole regeneration thing was going on, you also picked up the syringes with Tarar's venom in them from your secret laboratory and dipped some new blowdarts in it. It works just fine.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Chop up a few more bunnies. We can use them as bait if we go searching for more creatures.

[Doret]

Draw some blood out of the new bunny you created. See if there are any defects on it, or if it is a PERFECT clone. Take this fifth bunny the your lab, cut it's legs off. See if the bunny grows them back, and if the legs will generate their own bodies. Inject some of Tarar's venom into this new bunny to see if it'll die. Clean up the mess and the rabbit cage. Consider getting Tarar friends, he seems sooooo lonely. Besides, translucent spiders don't fight each other. They SHOULD be the world's smartest Arachnids(Might be exaggerated).

[Armok]

check where the bunnies memories have gone. If none of them behaves lobotomized, cut all the bunnies in half.
