Ask her if Malgur are dangerous, then begin climbing after it.

>>278362
Make less noise so we can go smack it, causing it to let go of the ladder.

Imani carefully makes his way across the patch of cindergrass.

Whatever it is that's filling that path way is really gross. It almost looks like some sort of ... infection? It looks fleshy and is oozing some sort of foul-smelling pus.

Well you know the only right thing to do with an infection is to throw cindergrass at it and set it on fire.

Make a bow. Then you can make a grappling arrow. Hopefully, you'd then be able to reach higher places. It can wait until later, I suppose.

Imani carefully plucks some cindergrass and tosses it at the mass of ... infection?

It seems to catch fire but as it burns out it doesn't look like the fire has managed to make it any smaller.

Pluck more cindergrass, find some wood, and bonfire that abominable membrane.

>>278446
>Wood
Think your manly arms can handle grappling that log from before up here? Mipo could hold it with one arm after all.

Imani starts heading back to try to retrieve the log.

>'What are you doing?'

>>278459

"I am attempting to set fire to that gross-looking membrane. It blocks my progress."

"I was going to grab that log from before to try and bonfire through that membrane blocking our way, unless you have a better plan?"

We should ask what that stuff is.

I don't think a bonfire with one log is going to do shit to that stuff, sorry.

I'm voting for going with Mipo.

Fine, fine. Go with Mipo.

But swear an enmity on the mucous membrane that YOU WILL RETURN TO DESTORY IT.

Go up!

>'I doubt there's really any treasure at the old temple. Even if there is, it wouldn't be right to steal it.'

Imani decides to head up toward the swamp with Mipo. She gives him a boost up onto the tree, and even though it seems pretty flimsy it appears the canopy is strong enough to support his meager weight.

See if you can jump or grapple your way up.

>>293800
toss grapplan spike up to that ledge, make sure it's securely rooted, and then dangle rope down for Mipo.

A quick hop is all it take for Imani to get to the ledge above!

uh oh, large insect looking thing above you. unknown if dangerous.

Is that more slime hanging from the ceiling? See if you can grapple and grab some, check for consistency and see if it can be use for something, like an improvised rope.

Imani isn't sure how well he could grapple something that is free-hanging, but after walking past the rockshrooms he is able to jump up and grab onto what appears to be some sort of strange, gross-feeling vine dangling from the ceiling!

It's a bit too slippery for him to climb up, but he can hang onto it okay and it appears to support his weight.

Dangle down your rope for Mipo to grab so you can pull her up.

That was a lot harder than Imani thought it would be.

>'Thanks. Dammit, it looks like that stupid Malgur ate the bridge up here, too. It's going to be pretty hard to get around the swamp if it ate everything.'

rest a moment then see of you can grapple the tree.

Ok, you could try to grapple to the diamond-shaped rock over you, and from there grapple to the ledge to the left. Then you could go up and actually check if the Malgur ate all the bridge or if he's keeping some to make a nest or something.

Oh and ask Mipo if Malgurs are dangerous (if you don't know yourself.)

>>293832
Climb up the vine thing then grapple onto the tree.

Imani can already tell that the tree is out of reach, and as frail as those trees are he thinks that it's a bad idea to throw a spike into them if he wants to use them to climb.



>>293839

That isn't a rock, it's just a hole in the background!

>'Malgur aren't really dangerous, they're big and strong but they don't have a lot of weight behind them. They aren't very aggressive, either. They're more likely to run away than try to fight, and don't usually even try to fight when cornered.

>>293844

Unfortunately, Imani still can't get a good enough grip on the vine to climb it!

ask for a boost. once you can use your leg's too you should be able to climb.

A boost sounds good.

Make sure she doesn't peek up your robe, though.

With a boost from Mipo, Imani is able to get enough of a grip to climb the vine! He leans out to toss the Grappling spike; and although it is a long distance, he manages to get it to stick into the old bridge post!

On the plus side, at least, Imani is pretty sure that the spike is solidly lodged in the post.

>'Uh, did you mean to do that?'

yes you meant to swing, you just didn't stick the landing.

anyway, climb up and make the spike more secure, then swing the rope over to Mipo

>>293955
Give her a big thumbs up and climb on up, then try throwing her the rope.

>>293964
I can agree with this.

She's going to have to climb up the vine like you did, I think.

Yes, you totally did. You always land face first against cliffs you want to climb up.

Go up, make sure the spike is still solidly stuck in the post and throw her the other end of the rope.

Imani climbs up the rope, and makes sure that the spike is a bit more securely stuck in the post.

However, the rope doesn't go out far enough to throw it to Mipo! Instead, she takes a running jump and catches on to it.

Mipo climbs the rope.

Pose as a team! Or continue.

Onwards!

Hmm. Ask Mipo what her chances would be of killing the bug.

She said that the bugs often don't even fight back when cornered, so killing it shouldn't be much of a problem if we end up needing to. We want to go after that Malgur for its honey, but these trees are pretty flimsy, let's check over to the left to see if there's anything useful.
For the record, our inventory consists of Silly Spiked Palm band, grappling spike, big hunk of normal fundamite, and some dense fundamite. If need be, we could try using some of the fundamite to make our grappling spike a grappling hook in order to get over to the Malgur.
