That's why I said I misread something.

Augh, I'm tired, and your probably not going to use my action until around five days from now. I'll think of something later.

And the collapsing ceiling would have broken it. Maybe. I don't know. Not going to happen now, so who cares.

Ceiling collapsing is in a different room, and the ceiling is only going to collapse in that room.

How are the Heltens the underdogs in the war? They're equal to the Sarduks in power.

Anthramarux had never technically fought anything that fought BACK before. These things were annoying. But, once she destroyed the big one...the cave was hers! Then she could go back and tell Mother how strong she was!

But first, the annoyance. She had noted, that while Mudcrabs seemed reasonably fast and could pinch nastily, they were extremely...stupid. They attacked en masse, with no thought to strategy or skill. They had heavily armored fronts-but were vulnerable to attacks from the rear. And even armor needed holes for eyes and noses.

Her bestial Draconic sense was telling her to charge right in and tear it to pieces, but her intellect told her a drop of acid on it's eyes would be a better plan...

Having now imagined herself the winner in all circumstances, the thought of all the acid-stewed crab meat she would enjoy for her victory feast made her drool.


Action: Anthramarux flies up and clings to the ceiling, being very still, tucking her wings close to her body and waiting for the big crab to pass below.

Once it does so, she spits acid in the direction of it's eyestalks/sensor cluster when it approaches, hoping to blind it or at least injure it. Before it can retaliate, she retreats to another part of the cave and sets up a similiar ambush. Don't bother fighting it directly or from the front unless it's crippled.

If absolutely forced to fight on the ground, flank it and tear off it's legs, or try and flip it over and attack it's belly.

Got it.

Collapse the gemstone room, and then throw some rubble from that at the big chaos crystal, preferably from as far away as I can manage. Plug the river leak with some of that cloth and ceiling rubble.

"HAH! THAT WENt well." The ringing in his ears stopped but he was a bit sad that he didn't find anything better.

Kin had decided to start moving in most of his treasure from the cliff face into the cave now that he knew no other groups of monsters were inside. He hoped.

Try and fly behind it and assault it with my claws! If that fails, fly away. Fast.

Alright, I suppose I should do some things.

First, Dwarmin's combat! Because this crab is no pushover. Oh no. But, as you're about to see, Dwarmin gets a good roll with his breath.

[Agi:6-1]: You're not exactly the most agile of dragons, but you somehow manage to fly up to the ceiling and grab onto something. Somehow. [Str:6-1] You're also not one of the strongest dragons around, but you hold onto the ceiling.

The crab passes down below. It's GIGANTIC! TWICE the size of you! Goodness! You cough up acid, and spit it in the direction of the crab. It hits. [11 out of 1d20, 75% damage from teen, round up, 9] The crab is crippled by the acid. It's shell evaporates and it's innards start melting. You don't retreat: You sense death for the crab is near (1/10HP), so you bite down on the crab's exposed self and it dies.

Your stomach now feels mildly empty, you may have to eat. The giant mudcrab corpse is inedible due to the hazardous acid.

+1 Agility, +1 Strength.

Second, I should tidy up the kingdoms more. I've been waiting far too long, so let me start on it. I'll start simple, with the relations of kingdoms to each-other.

Ask away if any of the relations are confusing or if you're curious.

Anthrmarux hummed happily to herself as she went to the task of cleaning up HER new cave. She was hungry, sure-but there was plenty of meat here...she needed to start marking out areas. Maybe some pretty things on the wall...here, oh and here! Shinies everywhere! Dragon Squeee!

Action: Crack open a few mud crab shells and feast on the tasty meat within, or eat the rest of the mudcrab eggs. Save the Shells as trophies.

Afterwards, start tossing the mangled corpse parts into a pit like area (which will be the general refuse dump from now on), and look for a nice defensible sleeping chamber she can call her own.

@Tarran: Also, are you *sure* Anthramarux can't ingest her own acid stewed meat? That seems sort of...illogical.  ???

No, you can't. The acid is heavy, heavy duty. It's far worse than stomach acid in corrosiveness. It's an acid that's designed to melt, melt, melt, and nothing else. And it's also got plenty of toxic materials in it, which are designed to give it more acidity. Well, at least that's what I'm going with. Look, this is a game based on dragons, I can make up my own bullshit.

Plus, if I would let you eat what you killed with acid, it would make it too easy to ignore the acid's food requirement: You will start to get hungry if you use acid too much, unlike most breaths. This is to balance the 3 turn recharge.

Anyway, if you DID try to eat it, the first thing you would notice is the burning sensation in your mouth. Second, your teeth would corrode. Third, the acid would start eating into your mouth. Fourth, toxins would poison you, and fifth, you would start bleeding from what's left of your mouth.

@Tarran: Understood. I'm guessing we could really lore that up to have it make more sense? I don't mind the restriction, but I like to have something to work with roleplaying wise.

If you want to do the research/ideamaking yourself, go ahead. I don't really feel like searching it up/thinking it up, and it's also late here so...

The general idea is, the acid is far more acidic and toxic than stomach acid, it comes from the acid dragon's version of the standard dragon breath gland which is designed to hold it. A small section of the throat leading to the mouth is resistant (not immune) to the acid. And the acid's toxin make things that you use it on toxic enough to be inedible.

As to where the acid comes from and why it makes you hungry... err... Let's just say it replenishes directly from stomach acid, including whatever food might be there.

Or maybe it just takes a lot of energy to synthesize all the corrosive elements that goes into dragon acid.
