      Yes yet another "You are" game, we need more of them damnit! In this game you will play as a creature that you would traditionally find in a dungeon (a roguelike dungeon, a Zelda dungeon, a Dungeons and dragons dungeon filled with dragons who inhabit dungeons and so on). I'll let you decide folks. Pick any creature that inhabits a dungeon! Preferably a rather common one that's not to late into the dungeon.

        Eventually an adventurer will come to the dungeon, he/she/it will either kill you or you'll kill it first! Overtime there'll be stronger adventurers or adventurer parties. There's some governance of the dungeon by the more powerful creatures (The lich lords and boss like creatures for example) but dungeon critters fight other dungeon critters from time to time. Also, watch out for traps!

        So pick a creature! Oh and this may be done somewhat in picture format (I'm not very good with GIMP or Photoshop or paint or anything, so if you pick the billion headed beast I can't really draw them, there shall probably be a map though!)

         Post the name of the creature and a link to a page with some information on them (Like a wiki). Or you could be fancy and hyperlink the name. It's your choice folks!

Shooting something made of a semi hard metal with no organs is a fucking stupid idea anyway.

Well let's go with a Gelatinous cube then, it's similar to a jelly too I guess.


So where should we start?

Main dungeon: The main dungeon, all the branches we could ever want are from here! Yet it's also filled with traps,random creatures,adventurers later on, not to mention various other nasties.

Slime pits: Slimes, Jellies, Oozes, Gelatinous Prisms, Gelatinous cones and Gelatinous cubes of course all tend to conglomerate here. There's the king slime who resides at the center of this branch (It's not as large as the main dungeon though of course!)

You do not convince me. You rationalize your actions and because the result is favorable you become right.

Okay this is going to be rather short. I just had a rather long piece but then the forums decided to have errors, saying i've already sent the post and then promptly deleting all the content.


 You are THE GELATINOUS CUBE. No, actually you're just a gelatinous cube. You've been in this dungeon for as long as you can remember, as a gelatinous cube that's not very long. You know the immediate area around you at least though, there's the good old corridor that was blocked off in a dungeon cave in (darn cheaply run dungeon), there's the good old "Ye shoppe of interesting things" (Now 50% off on migraine potions!). There's that room with a door which you can't open (You're a cube, you lack arms and legs), but you heard (somehow since you lack ears) that there was stairs in there. Oh and then there's the other stairs which you never seemed to interested in, yet one day you planned to go down. Oh and those stone pillars, which unfortunately have been tarnished with graffiti by those damn Gnome kids, with their "rock music" and "free spirit", nothing like that for the upstanding Gelatinous cube!

Go to the north room.

  You attempt to go to the North room yet you run into an old "friend". Unfortunately since you're a gelatinous cube and you just ran into him he sort of melts into the floor. Oh well. Oh you also see Mort, the neighbourhood cave mushroom addicted kobold. Mort used to have a steady job guarding corridors, until he got addicted to cave mushrooms. He even sold his weapon for cave mushrooms. Although the cave mushroom to weapon exchange rate is rather low these days, heck even the lowliest rats probably wield artifact flaming swords these days.


Stats:

STR:5
DEF:5
INT:5
CON:5
LCK:5
HATS (Yes hats):

Gelatinous cubes don't gain levels, however they can absorb things to gain stat points.

Weapons give you STR.

Armour/Clothing gives you DEF.

Spellbooks/Scrolls give you INT.

Healing potions/other healing sources (even corpses of casters who can heal) Give you CON. (Relax there'll be plenty of healing potions).

Throughout the dungeon you can find hats, hats will give you special abilities.

 Once you gain an INT score of 10, when you devour corpses you maybe able to gain the ability to change into their form once.

 You can store gold in your acidic cubeness, since your acid doesn't work on gold. How else do you carry around gold?

Inventory:
3 gold.



EDIT: There, fixed. Note to self: Don't hit tab by impulse, that posts the damn post.

Go down the stairs, and begin thinking how you can think.

Go down the stairs, begin thinking how you can think and melt everything you can melt.

  And so your adventure begins, you decide to melt mort, being unarmed and completely stoned out of his mind he provides little resistance! (We rolled a 13 but yeah, easy target). A cloud of smoke arises from his remains....It's woah...you can see all the colours man.... Gaining the munchies you eat his clothes and manage to gain a stat point to DEF! (To be clear, it's a 50% chance of gaining a stat point, luckily this time we gained a stat). You then contemplate how you can think, however you're much too baked to come up with a suitable answer.

 Your bakedness wears off a little, but not enough to not be distracted by the vendor of "Ye shoppe of interesting things" OH NO! He shows you a list of his wares:

Wares:

Pieces of paper(10):1 gold each.
A "shiny" rock: 10 gold.
A mysterious hat:20 gold.
Gelatinous cube the action figure: 5 gold.

 Also upon his tent he calls a shop you see a notice in the language of the Gelatinous cube. It says: Jiggle Jiggle Jiggle, Wobble, Wobble Jiggle. (Down below: Annual Dungeonholders meeting. All are welcome to attend).
