You can't recall what, and your map is covered in slime, but there was a group traveling southeast looking for something. You aren't sure about this one, because that's Bobcat Territory.

You jot down that you are staying in the Tribal Village, and decode to sign up for the expedition to Mt. Cock. For the sake of being mysterious and edgy you just sign with a fancy blotch of slime instead of a name.

Anyways, the expedition is tomorrow, and the sun is only just coming up. You would go shopping for supplies, but are broke after paying for the hut you're staying in.
Expeditions cost money to join, so you're gonna have to find a way to fix that.

>For the sake of being mysterious and edgy you just sign with a fancy blotch of slime instead of a name.
When the poor guy/girl/square/squarette tries to read your name off the list tell them its how you write it in slimeese. If they claim to know slime language explain you are a slime from far across the sea where they have a different language.

That's good. Claiming to be foreign also gives you a half-true excuse for not knowing the customs.

>>367123
You put out the fire you were reading by and exit the hut. There are a few odd jobs you could try.
>Package Courier
There's always something to be delivered, and a bit of a tip for the one doing it. Using your Smarts you could also convince them that the trip was more dangerous than it really was, and sucker them into paying more. You aren't sure you have the Charisma to pull off the bluff though.
>Clear Road
A large tree fell on the main road to and from Humenland Castletown. Wagons and the like have had to go around on side paths, which is troublesome. If nobody's bothered to remove it you could try. The traveling merchants and other adventurers would be grateful.
>Fishing
Humens love fish, so you could sell them some. You never really fished before, but the lake near the local Slime Village is the perfect place to try.

>>367130
Fishing seems to be the safest way to get money, plus you can learn a valuable life skill.

how would you go about clearing the tree?

that bit about suckering people into paying more with your smarts made me thing... why go fishing when you can go phishing? You are, after all, a princess from across the sea... that is a joke btw not an actual suggestion, hence spoiler tags

>>367138
from the little picture it would seem by eating it with acid.

Are slimes adept swimmers? If so we can do the fishing. Otherwise don't bother. After that clearing the tree is good if our acid can eat it away easily. Or if now then we can get a good supply of rope to move it with. I don't see another way to do it without more strength.

If neither of those apply then just do the courier job. I don't know about bluffing but we should be able to use our strengths, or at least avoid our weaknesses.

you know what, those are all menial jobs for petty cash. who needs petty cash when you can eat trees? what are you gonna do, buy food?

No, we want to be awesome... We need to harvest XP by fighting something, find a nearby tome of knowledge.. or hey, you are naturally a caster. triple smarts, double chanelling, and only one heart? definitely a squishy wizard (heh, squishy!)... go join the local mage guild and do their initiation quests to get basic spells and gear.

You decide to Compromise. You will see about clearing the tree away while you head over to Humenland Castletown to visit the local Mages Guild. You're pretty sure they have one, they did down south where you're from.
>>367143
Slimes cannot Swim. You sort of get stuck floating on top of the water like oil until either some helpful fellow scoops you out, or you drift to shore and get a hold on land.
>>367153
It should be noted that you will require 10 Gold for the Expedition Signup. You presently have 0 Gold.

After traveling down the road a ways you come across a Fallen Tree. You admire the beauty of the Incredibly Shitty Forest, and briefly wonder why the map shows pines, but these are all strange, mutant Afrotrees.
There is an unknown obstruction.

Looks like a perfect job for SLIME ACID!

an unknown obstruction before the tree you planned on clearing... interesting. Can you examine it more closely?

>>367328
its entirely possible that snake venum disrupts the biochemical functions that make a slime live. Snake bites are totally harmless to humans, it is the snake venom that kills. Venom which is easier to inject into a slime then into flesh.
Or maybe its a magic snake...

Are slimes immune to venum? are there sentient snakes around? do you recognize what species of snake this is? Are snakes as delicious as I had been told?

Back away from the snake and cast Slime Acid at it from a safe distance.

Ask for permission to absorb the tree. You're the intruder here. It's possible that its family resides in the tree. Digesting poisonous snakes doesn't sounds like a healthy diet.

Climbing atop the Wooden Crate, you spit some more Slime Acid. You can't see if from your perspective, but you can see it from your perspective.
Using your Smarts you calculate that clearing the tree by this means will take you approximately 3 days' worth of acid, including what you've done today. Which means you have 2 days' acid left before the tree is melted away. This plan may have had some flaws.

Unfortunately, you cannot Loot the snake because it is under a Wooden Crate which you haven't the Strength to lift.

>>367722

You make a note to ask the Mages' Guild if those exist. Because if they do, well, fuck.

Technically you can't create a crate from nothing, you aren't that powerful a wizard(ess)slime. Yet. So in actuality you're stealing a random crate from somewhere else in the world.
Maybe even the universe.

You have no idea what's in the crate, actually.

open melt the side off the crate.

Well let's try to open it normally, we don't want to waste our acid.

We still have a mana sphere, using our SMARTS let's try to figure out if careful application of our remaining acid with a force push will do this job more quickly. Also considering whatever may be in the crate, I guess...

The side proves impossible to pry off with your pitiful Strength, and your Smarts tell you acid may harm any valuables inside. If you had a Crowbar to provide leverage, you could use Force Push on it and bust off the side of the Wooden Crate.

Still use the last Slime Acid for the day on the Wooden Crate to help get it open?

>>367844
We might as well. Try to be agile and just get it on the side.

Oh! How I'm tempted to summon anoter wooden crate! Anything that exists within this box isn't yours. Any property damage can be extremely dangerous depending on the original owner. However, working on the fallen tree now will not advance the work at all, unless we have another fight tomorrow. Take the risk. It would be interesting to meet a mad archmage.

You use a combination of your Agility and Smarts to melt the corners where a side is held on, minimizing the risk to the contents. The side falls away and inside is a Cracked Humen Skull. It looks old.

go get some guards, do not touch it.

It can't be... Yorick!? Oh, Yorick... Alas, poor Yorick, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy! What's this? You left a present!?
See what's encrusted in Yorick's frontal bone!

Maybe the skull is worth money? Is your force push strong enough to push the tree out of the way? What if you use slime to cut it in half first?

>>367881
>>367884
Inspecting the Skull, you try not to touch it. There doesn't seem to be anything inside that you can detect.
As one with Literacy, you are a fan of Quiverlance's many works, in particular the play Hamelt. You decide to name this fellow Yorick, after Hamelt's childhood protector. This makes you slightly less creeped out.
You're still pretty creeped out though, and telling the guards sounds like a good idea.
>>367892
Your Force Push spell isn't that powerful yet, you're still a novice. It'll take more slime to melt it in half anyways, and you're out for the day. Using too much is unhealthy.

Go to town and forage in wastebins for scraps. Then report Yorick for a hopefully massive reward.

As tempting as it is, don't scold the Gate Guard. Those types never learn. Go talk with the Captain and report this too.

The gentleman in the window shuts the curtains when you approach. The Generic NPC Woman gives you a slight wave of recognition and a 'hello', then continues on her way.

You approach the Town Guard in the foreground, who is admiring some shrubbery near the walls. He explains that he planted them himself back when he was a gardener. In fact, he was just conscripted into the guard today.

When you explain the skull incident, he confesses he doesn't know much about bones and such, but mysterious skulls in boxes are never good. You should probably take it to the Captain. He offers to help carry it since you look kind of wimpy.

Charley shrugs and leads you to the tavern. He asks if it's really a good idea to leave a skull sitting around?

Entering the tavern you find a Tavern Wench. There are some people getting drunk offscreen and it's generally loud and obnoxious.
This reminds you that you are broke.

ask if he can spot you enough for a loaf of bread. slimes eat fast. but still need to eat often, they don't store fat.

You're at risk of losing your physical consistency? No? Go get Yorick. He's alone, inside a box that resides over the corpse of a committed hissing mother.

You wouldn't starve for a while yet, though Slimes will generally die quicker without food than Humens. Rumors have it that an imprisoned Squarefolk soldier once went a year without eating, but since the bandits who held him captive were killed, there are no witnesses.
Pulling yourself from your thoughts, you ask if Charley can spot you for some food. He agrees to get you some Bread since you're broke and it's only, like, 1 GP, but he does expect to be repaid at some point. You quickly consume the glorious Sustenance and head out. On the way out of the Castletown, Charley tosses a Pebble at the sleeping guard to wake him up. It seems as though this is a common occurrence, as nobody makes a comment and you continue on your way.

Upon arriving, Charley makes the astute observation that this box appears to be empty.
The sun begins to set.

Out of the corner of your eye you catch something fleeing into the woods, and give chase. Charley follows. You're pretty sure it went this way, but you've lost sight of it. The sound of water signifies that the lake is just ahead, so you should be near the Slime Village.

You climb down the ladder and find yourself in a pitch black cave. You can't see very far at all. If grues were native to this region, you would likely be eaten by one. Fortunately they are not.
Charley's Guard Armor cannot fit through the hole while he's wearing it. He says he can send it down first and change back into it down there, but it'll take a little while. Wait for Charley or continue and let him catch up later?

Mana Spheres refill fully at the end of each day when midnight passes. Potions and other things can recharge them as well. Charley told you earlier when you asked and I forgot to add it about a plant called an Aether Lily that floats on water, the fruit from which can restore Mana. While toxic to Humens, Slimes and Squarefolk can consume them without problems.

Wait for him. You wouldn't want some sort of CRIMINAL SCUM to steal the armor or attack him while you were up ahead.

You take care to look up. So many adventurers die by giant spider ambush. No spiders, but a few stalactites were rigged to fall when passed. Charley triggers each with a Pebble and you proceed unhindered into the room. Your Smarts and magical ability allows you to determine that a spell was used to set the traps.

There is here an altar.

You add Grues to your list of Things to Make Extinct.
On the other side of the altar, you find a Dead Albino Warchicken, lying before a presently raised Hidden Stone Door.
>>370072
The altar is engraved with a language you don't know on it, but you detect no magic from it. Upon further inspection, there is a Pressure Plate on top. The Pressure Plate is empty.

Carefully shift the body to check for traps, then look down the secret door.

what's that black square on the ceiling?

Examine Dead Albino Warchicken. Possible cause and time of death? Beware of traps. The trail of your secret admirer ends at the altar or continues?

>>370259
Neither you nor Charley have the Strength to lift the massive Warchicken.
You move off to the side and try and see if there are traps under the Warchicken. You determine that if there are, it is covering them for you.
>>370271
The Warchicken is dead. It seems to be pinned to the ground by a Sword as tall as Charley. There are faint traces of magic hanging around the large blade. The sword is made of stone. Blood from the wound is still fresh, so it must have been killed recently.
Like, just before you got here.
>>370249
It is a presently raised Hidden Stone Door. Actually it's not very hidden right now, so it's really just a raised Stone Door.

Charley checks down the hall, but can't see anything immediately threatening. He informs you of this.

Is Charley HERO enough to wield a disproportionately large magic sword?
Or at least to move it so it will keep the door from closing to seal you in?

Sword is magic, on the way back the two of you should each grab a side of the pommel and drag it to town to sell for monies. Let him know of that plan... but first give chase, the chicken is freshly killed which means you might still catchup.

Normally I would suggest going om nom nom on the chicken but we can do that on the way back.

Sound, wind, light, track? Any indication of a direction to follow? There is something under or around you?

From what you can see the room is made of stone. It's smoother than the walls and floor in the other room, but still Cavey-Looking. It's a very technical term.
Listening closely, you hear the sound of approaching footsteps. Suddenly, the room lights up.

>>370351
Now that the room is brightened, you see here a Black Haired Albino Hippie. In the darkness just outside of the Hippie's Light spell, you can see Yorick next to some protrusion from the wall.
The Hippie asks what's the haps, and why you are following him all up in here? Not groovy, Slime Dudette.

 

What!? Surely you jest! Give back Yorick! NOW!

>>370411
Say that you couldn't help but drop in, as it were.

Your joke is somewhat amusing, but you mess up the delivery a little with your mediocre Charisma. The Albino Hippie kinda shrugs and says that's probably the one he has, and starts heading back towards the strange structure on the opposite wall. Charley takes up position in front of you in case a fight breaks out.

>>370421
You forcefully demand that Yorick be returned. The Hippie turns to give you a funny look and asks who Yorick is, man. Or lady, as it were. He also says that's a pretty harshin' way to ask for something.

>>370441
Get down to his level!

"Hey, maaaan, that skull's just got some pretty vibes, yeah? I was just gonna do some Feng Shui with it, maybe get some positive energy through it, dig?"

Uh, make that "bad vibes".

Not asking! Demanding! Unless you're the responsible for Yorik, the poor skull next to that protrusion from the wall! In which case you should be brought to authorities for further explanations!

>>370459
You demand once again that he give you Yorick, the skull near the protrusion. He goes and picks it up and asks if that's what you mean, slime lady? The Hippie tells you that's a totally un-rad idea. He's got to get the skull back up into this here vault, ya know? He's got no idea how it gone and walked out.

Say: "Oh, its your sinister magic skull? Keeping it contained sounds good and all, but it seems to have somehow escaped from there once already."

>He's got no idea how it gone and walked out.
Summon Wooden Crate.

Why do you have a human skull inside a wooden crate inside a vault inside a cave with traps, dead albino warchicken impaled with enormous stone sword, hidden stone door and engraved altar with pressure plate?

Well that's a pretty rockin' point you have, the Hippie agrees. Might be time for some moving to be done, if this here vault ain't safe no more, ya dig?

>>370804
Summon Wooden Crate. He never even figured anybody would up and summon the crate, so he done and didn't put any blockerators for it.
See, this here skull is the skull of Archnecromancer Ben.

Charley lowers his sword and asks what the heck the Hippie is talking about.
You recall with your Smarts that Ben was head of the Necromancer Guild. It was all completely legal, at least until they tried to take over the world. He was supposedly thrown into a volcano.

My apologies for sporadic crappy updates, schedule's out of whack. Also I'm a terrible procrastinator.

>>370887
The skull used to belong to a powerful necromancer? Maybe it still got some power left in it, we need to acquire it... later.

Ask why it's so important it stays in the vault and what else is in there.

The Hippie says there's nothing else up in here, lady dude. Nobody knows if the guy was Lichin' it up, but they don't want no chances, so they keep the bones separate, you dig? Order of the King of Humenland.

Charley whispers whole the Hippie's back is turned that he's going to need this story checked. He's not sure if it would be wise of one of the two of you to stay behind with this guy, but he shouldn't be left alone with the skull either. He wonders what you think would be best.

Midnight passes, your Mana Spheres are full.

Convince him to travel with you so you can find a better place to put the skull, where it won't escape from.

This is an excellent plan, it should give us time to figure out if we can tap into the skulls power without worrying about someone else stealing it.

Sides, it's not like any Necromancer's gonna come lookin' up in a tree. Unless you're a Necromancer, dudelady?
Charley comments that a Necromancer wouldn't report the skull to the town guard.
Hippie says that's a sweet point, he was just makin' sure.

>>371008
You suggest Summon Wooden Crate. Charley leans in closer and asks what the heck you're planning to use that for.

We could do the sensible thing and seek a way out.

However, after he opens the vault, I really want to see a wooden crate on a collision course with the head of this smartass! Wait! Make it two wooden crates!

After what feels like a month the Hippie finally opens the door, and you promptly summon not one, but two wooden crates over his treehugging face.

There are two crashing sounds, and Charley has been knocked Unconscious by a Flying Wooden Crate.
It is Dark.

luckily he has a helmet and a good number of hearts.

go crawl into the hippies lung's to finish them off.

Examine Charley. He has a potion? Anything that might help him to wake. Restraint devices? Thanks to your ridiculous strength you can not use a rope to hold the Hippie, but I think that using handcuffs are within your capabilities.

Examine Hippie. Yorick? You do not leave anyone behind. Potion? Maybe something really smelly to wake Charley. Key to the vault? You do not want to go there just to be locked inside it. Something of value? You can not help, you are poor and he is a jerk.

Examine vault. Go nuts if you woke Charley, took the key to the vault AND immobilized the Hippie.

Otherwise, just take the key, look for something to wake Charley, rescue Yorick, throw the Hippie inside the vault and close it. Necessarily in that order, if possible. Get out of there as quickly as possible.

You examine Charley. There don't seem to be any Potions on him, but you find a Shortsword, a pair of Manacles, and a Ball of String, standard equipment for a Town Guard.

You get the Manacles, which is really all the weight you can carry at a time (who the heck made metal so heavy?) and go over to the Hippie, who is thoroughly unconscious. Probably with a concussion or minor brain damage. You slap the cuffs on 'im and loot his not-corpse. The Hippie is carrying a Mana Potion, some Hallucinogenic Drugs, and a Fake Beard. Ben Yorick lies on the cold, unforgiving stone of the top step. Alas, there is no key to Ben Yorick's Vault. You're pretty sure the Hippie opened it with Magic.

Equip FAKE BEARD.

Mix MANA POTION with HALLUCINOGENIC DRUGS and CONSUME.

Go on an ACIDSLIME-TRIP.

Wake up Charley. Enter the vault together, while Charley carries the Hippie.

You pick up the Hallucinogenic Drugs and pour them into the Mana Potion, causing a small puff of smoke. You gaze into the Bottle of Swirling Light, and are apprehensive about consuming it. On the other hand, the more of the Mana-Filled Fumes you inhale, the less fucks you give.
