ooh those are good, D-fens and fancy mimic especially.
Arcane is like the perfect mimic victim, since she probably not only falls for it but the act of getting got itself probably makes her sturdy enough to not immediately die to it

The pair go into the graveyard. A soft but haunting song plays in the background as step through the rusty threshold. Fog obscures the area save for just a few feet in front of them.

"Hahaha-! Y-you know, Magifans, y'girl Arcane doesn't do well with horror games! I'm already shaking in my boots!"

"Don't worry, Arcane," Alex has her blade in hand already, "I'll do my best to keep you safe. We have been dealing with some grave robbers lately. Purely mundane and not-supernatural things."

"O-oh yeah? That's great. S-so! Wanna tell us a bit more about this place for the viewers at home?"

"Well, this is the hamlet's graveyard. We put many heroes to rest here after the great war against Slimecrown many years ago. But we also buried our enemies here, for the kingdom was not so savage as to let them rot in a ditch. But, the Queen's kindness was her folly, for their spirits still rise up to battle against these heroes. At least, that is what the tales say. I for one have never seen anything supernatural here."

Arcane grabs Alex and with a click of her heels she wheelies off with her in tow. Ghost Slime seems very pleased with her efforts.

"(That was fun-!)"

The scare was a success. Looks like they're heading to a crypt. What should we throw at them?

Skulls! Then have their owners come looking for them.

>>1092655
great job, ghost slime!

Arcane a cute, since she's YUM branded as well maybe we can run some sort of collaboration event with her.

Good job ghost slime!
Now we have the right mood going and can be spooky with more events.

I think for a while we can either lean into there being a plausible mundane explanation for the scares; creepy treasure chest opening on it's own with an attention-seeking creak was a mimic, the bones found all over the place are just there because of them grave robbers ect.
or
go full haunted grave rave; ghost slime is haunting many camera shots but is never there when looked at directly, zombie hands are clawing out of the soil of shallow graves and the implied horde of living dead hopefully making Arcane close the door behind them when they enter the crypt.
Which is naturally home to skeletons.

>>1092655
go ghost slime, go!
for the crypt: skelemans, and a single lagmite to drop on Arcanes head/shoulder

Lag is hell for streamers and their audience, might want to drop a pair of lagmites

>>1092759
we're trying to make this a good show, that'd be counter-productive. we want all those people watching to wanna come in too, this is free publicity

>>1092759
>>1092760
Thats why i suggested "1" lagmite, as it should hopefully only make Arcane scream in slowmo, and the audience doesnt get lagged

>>1092655

Wait for them to go in the crypt and have the skeleton slam it shut behind them. They probably have a light source. So, let them look around with ghost slime peaking in and out until they and find the mimic. Mimic attacks and if possible, get their light source to start flickering (finally letting tech slime do something).

Make the ground itself tear up and levitate so the resulting hole looks like a giant fanged mouth!

What? There IS no Tech Slime. What are you talking about?

I mean...


There -could- be one. If we chose to make one... But this isn't really related to immediately helping out the Dungeon Master.

But it would potentially help the dungeon, and therefore help her...

...

But, I'm not the best at making new demons. I mostly just have records of ones already made. What if I screw it up? I'll just be wasting runes. Not just any runes, the Dungeon Master's runes.

A screw up like that could get me fired.

I.. I don't know. Maybe I should just stick with what we have.

Deemo. Deems. Dee. C'mon. It's a slime. Water, tech. Just stick a computer in some jelly. How hard could it be?

>>1093093
I don't think it's a good idea to quickly throw together a monster DURING an active dungeon run.

But we can totally craft a tech slime afterwards. Mary won't be mad with you, she's a very forgiving boss. Except when Dungeoneer is involved.

>>1093094
Look we know from Oilivia that some runes don't fit neatly together and we don't wanna make a new slime without her supervision that will be in distress.

...That and if those runes DO combine, I feel like it won't be called tech slime, it'll be called Grey Goo

Let's not risk it. We probably shouldn't mess with the stream anywho.

As we are basically mary’s personal adviser and currently yours while she is resting, you can consider acting on our good ideas or us agreeing with your ideas as an automatic go-ahead without Mary around to greenlight it herself.
If you want to have a crack at it, go ahead, though we probably shouldn’t add it to the dungeon until after the current run ends so we can verify that it’s good to go. Also make sure to document it so Mary can learn what you did and that we greenlighted it for you, that’s usually the part she cares about most anyway.
Also it lets her correct the numbers later, she likes making the books look good.

Mary wouldn't fire a cutie like you!

>>1093104
>Grey Goo
There's more to creating a monster than combining runes and seeing what pops out. Remember, the ice elementals are just two water runes, same as OG Curi. Creator intent makes a big difference, and maybe creator skill too.

We don't NEED a tech slime for this run, and making a tech slime that doesn't short itself out might be a whole THING. I am happy for Demonologist to make a slime when we are not under a time crunch and when she has had some mentorship on it though.

It's at worst a single rune wasted, and it's such a perfect fit to improve the experience for this run. Mary has been running behind on making two rune slime varieties honestly, you'll be saving her work.

Just imagine a slime with big round glasses (glasses are tech), with a screen or a radar dish, or a cool robot hand.

I'd recommend silicon gel and nanomachines.

And I think Mary and Curi can benefit from this. With your permission, and as my role as Demonologist, let's do this!

Demonologist uses a single water rune to create... The Tech Slime! It hovers in the air and drips a greyish goo.

Wow! This is unlike any slime I've seen before.

"Welcome to the team, Tech Slime."

"BEEP."

I won't throw him into this particular dungeon. I mean, not right now at least... But, still, a wonderful creation I think.

Oh, the dungeon runner!

Demonologist turns her attention back to the stream. Arcane and Alex have already made their way into the crypt. It's dark and haunting sounds drone on in the background as they delve deeper within.

Arcane comes across a chest and finally peels herself away from Alex.

"H-hey magifans! It's ya... Ya girl, Arcane! L-looks like we've come across a fancy looking chest! In a crypt! I'm gonna uh... O-open it and uh... Be sure to put #lootget! so we can know we got some SWEET loot!"

When the stream reconnects, a fight appears to have happened, with not so very good results for the team.. Alex is currently being chewed on by the Mimic while Arcane is in the corner and terrified.

Hmm.

I think we may have scared her too much?

I... I'm not certain what Mary would do in this situation...

Do we pull things back or let the battle continue?

>>1093174
>>1092761
see, this is why I said we didn't want any lag mites

Have the mimic run deeper into the crypt with Alex so Arcane has to keep going further into the spooky place to save her! A classic horror story-beat.

>>1093175
Mimic runs deeper into the crypt
New sub-quest unlocked: Go get the Slime knights to help rescue your cute companion

>>1093175
...Did our Mimics always look like that?

Probably have the mimic pull back for Arcane to go rescue Alex.

>>1093170
cute!

>>1093175
We can pull back a little.

Easiest way that's not obvious, I think, is simply having it where the lagmite is of no allegiance in this fight, have it now slow the mimic just as it starts closing in

The lagmite was a mistake, too much stream was lost. Cutting out completely shifted the tone too far, too fast. Cut the lagmite, and pull back by giving her time to run, or else a long, drawn-out closeup of her doom. We messed up, so now we gotta do her a solid.

>>1093177
>>1093178
this sounds good

>>1093187
You mean an extended shot of the mimic slowly drawing closer to the screen, drool dripping off its lolling tongue and vicious teeth, with Alex's ass front and center?
Sounds great.

>>1093178
Nah mate, she's dead. Although... either she could drag her back to the cleric plant for healing or we bring her back as mimic Alex. See if she notices this time.

Not sure what to do just this moment, but maybe we can turn things around with Alex pretending to be an undead, later on.

Hah - in Soviet Russia loot loots you #lootersaredelicious! Seriously though she's got justification for grabbing reinforcements. She'll fight flight or freeze. She fights the mimic's food should hinder the mimic's fighting. She opts for flight we should have mercs ready to help. She freezes we let tech slime have a little fun by freezing small sections of the feed and randomly popping up "RUN" in the feed. Possibly have the word shake if she can manage to do so.

>>1093175
I, uh... Don't think the streamer can handle this by themselves. Not unless they get a timely donation/hype train.

Not running deeper in, but rather calmly slinking further in after having secured a meal.
A way to ease up on the tension while still being a rather unsettling.

>>1093175
what is Alex's actual condition btw? if shes still conscious, maybe we can have her and the mimic cooperate to stage a dramatic victory with her busting out from inside?

Should we have Lagianna come in to help? She could be searching for the lagmite.

I've been thinking a bit on how we could use the tech slime. Maybe if we use the lagmites and Lagianna.

They've been using the graveyard as a place to practice their time powers as the dimensional walls are thinner there, and summoned echoes of the past and one special rare boss monster.

What I'm thinking of is similar to Skulker of Danny Phantom. A humanoid exoskeleton controlled by the Tech Slime called Echo of the Future. Maybe even we could put it other areas if needed.

you're forgetting something important: unless it's a raid, we can't deploy non-wandering monsters once an adventurer's in the dungeon. So Tech Slime's gonna have to work its magic from backstage (it should be able to affect tech stuff like the stream, right?)

"The camera is... It's not focused properly, I think... My eyes are over here..."

"Of course~ You won the Big Slot prize, so you'll stay with me til we beat this mimic and rescue my friend! And at the end, I'll be sending your account some -sick- Magi Merch!"

"All that matters to me is saving this person. I saw the brutal way she was disposed."

"Right!? That monster sucks!"

"Alright, you're the DPS! I'll be support!"

"Understood."

O-oh. I'm back? Good. Hrm. It seems the adventurer is a pretty high level one. Very high. I don't think we'd need to hold back against them...

They're making their way towards a deeper area within the graveyard. I can't pull in any demons from outside but I still have the mimic to work with and whatever's already in here.

What should we do?

The mimic is working alone. Send a wandering patrol of skeletons their way for the blade to cut down, but leave some surprises for the 'support' using the matryoshka and poltergeist.

get some skeletons, maybe some chaos slimes or something, and have them GATTAI!

A platoon of Lost Soldiers supported by 3 Lost Wizards who are maintaining a ritual that will auto rez any skellies that go down. taking out one of the Wizards will break the ritual but the remainder will then join the fray with spells.

Get some bones, some swords and some skeletons. Bully them with wheel skeletons.

ah a classic! I think every Dungeon Master must do the reforming undead bit at least once

Lord Savage would approve (who knows, maybe he's a magifan and will see in real time)

I don't think we have Wheel Skeletons, but we should absolutely build an underground hippodrome and have undead chariot battles at some point.

Could be fun if the mimic waits in a room with a treasure chest, but out of line of sight. In the corner next to the entrance or something. When the decoy (real) chest is opened and it's safe, the adventurers will relax. And -that's- when the mimic should attack them.
