Ask her about the attack on the town, if she's okay with talking about it.

>>230450
Well then lets get up and ask her name and if she knows Chris.

"Uhm... What's your name?"

>"Sersi, nice to finally see you"

I'm still right where I threw myself. there are people a bit farther off. From the sounds of it they're already packing up.

"Sersi, do you remember what happened to the village? Do you know someone named Chris?"

>"Chris? he's a wizard in the town. He's very kind and even taught me some magic. As for what happened... I really don't remember much. I was stabbed through the shoulder and managed to drag myself out of town before much happened. Sorry."

"It's okay.. Thank you."

>"No problem. So, what are you?"

"Oh! I'm a slimechild! I'm trying to travel the world and help others learn about my people. My dream is that one day we'll all get along."

>".... That's so innocent. I want to hug you but i know you would dissolve me."

>>230706
"If everything with Chris goes as planned, I'll be able to hug everyone I want!"

Then :3 as hard as you can.

yeah tell her that chris is trying to help you with that.

tell her your name and ask her where she is from?
We need to find out about this.

>>230780
...you should read the first thread!

>>230706

"yea, I really wish I could hug people..."

On that note, a suit made of rubber would help keep you from dissolving things and still let you keep some sense of touch.

I hear Eirik speak up.

"Mmmkay!"

"MmmHmm."

Sersi
>"Curi... Was there anyone else who looked like me there?"

"no, sorry.."

I think she lost people too..

>>231597
A suit of rubber. Like another, uh, membrane, only not acidic.

>>231597
"But there were a lot of tracks going this way! Don't give up hope!"

Maybe there are more people like her wherever Chris is! As long as you stick together, you can have all sorts of fun adventures!

Everyone packs up and we all head off. After a short time we arrive there.

Hmm, not sure where you'd pic up a rubber suit. An engineer? An alchemist? Even then it's probably not free.

It might have to be light for Curi to use it too. If it's too thick and unwieldy she might just squish out of it in any attempt to move.

......
There are a lot of things I could melt here...

>"You okay?"

"... I'm not sure I should walk in..."

>>231606
I think you should wait outside with someone until they get another barrel for you.

If you're worried about melting the street, ask if anyone has some metal boots you could use. Or if they could find some at a store while you wait there.

>>231606
We need our barrel :c

>>231606
Ask for metal plates. You can use those like shoes and walk on things you would otherwise melt.

or maybe a wheel-barrel would be easier to move around.

By rubber they mean a body shaped, completely enclosed and acid proof suit. If that can be pulled off it would be great but it might be a very difficult thing to create. Probably uncomfortable too. Metal shoes would be very difficult to move around, her body isn't all that strong and her feet would probably slight right out.

So long as you only stand on stone you should avoid damaging anything. Being with your friends should help avoid people from panicking, but just to be safe stay with as large a group of people as you can.

>>231606

Yeah, make sure at least one of your group is always with you so warrior spaz types don't try to mow you down again.

>>231606
You just need to be careful. And don't walk through any crowds.

Before I can try anything Eirik comes up to me with a wheel barrel.

>"I figured you'd have some trouble, hop in."

I go inside. It's nice and cool in here and I don't melt through anything!

>"My men and I are going to speak to someone here in a little bit. Is there anywhere in particular you wish to be dropped off?"

Hmm... Where would a wizard most likely be..?

>>231879
Library! If he's not there at least you'll be able to get someone to help you read books.

>>231879
Well a library seems likely, or maybe a magic school if there is one. He could be looking up stuff about slimes and acid resistance and stuff. Is there a place where the other survivors went? He could be there helping out.

yes, wherever the survivors went would be good. if they fear you, you can say you were cursed and Chris was looking to find a way to break it and so you need to find him.

He could also be looking for you on some kind of slave market, seeing that you have been kidnapped and sold by orcs.

"Is there some kind of area were the survivors were dropped off?"

>"Actually there is. Want me to take you there?"

"Please."

We head off there. Sersi and Nalik tell me the location of a Inn and tell me they'll be staying there, ground floor so i can come in and check on them.
When we get to the survivors area Eirik announces in a loud voice that I was cursed and no one should touch me.
kinda embarrassing...

He drops me off and wishes me good luck.

I look around for a few minutes....
!!!!!

"Chris!"

I see him. He turns around and gasps

>"Curi!"

He runs over to me...
And hugs me!?

>>231914
"Ah! Chris! The melting and the acid and the this is nice but I'm eating your clothes-"

if his cloths are melting then tell him that while hugs are nice you don't want to burn him. but if they aren't then he may have gotten an acid ring or something, and you can hug him back.

>>231914
Freak the fuck out!

>>231914
Slip away before he gets burned by the acid.

he lets go and looks down at himself

>"It wasn't that bad. Good thing I let go when I did though."

"Chris, I was so worried about you! I thought bad things happened!"

>"And I thought the same of you... Tell me, what happened?"

I explain everything I've been through since we got separated.
He tells me that when the attack happened he was quickly knocked out. The last thing he saw was the orcs dragging me away. He was helpless. When he woke up he had been dragged out by other survivors. He tried leaving a trail but I guess I didn't notice..

>"But all that matters is that you're safe. It'd be a shame if your mission ended so swiftly.."

"Yeah. Oh! Did you find a cure?"

>"Unfortunately no, not yet. Sorry."

"It's okay.. So who did that? The attacking?"

>"Ah. Well I've been discussing it with others and they say the attacks were stagged by a Dark Elf Orrac. It seems he's been doing this across the map. There's been talk of a plan to throw him off his false throne."

@_@ What did I get into?

an amazing adventure that when done will prove you can be trusted. those involved in this thing will trust you, but other communities may still fear you. but having at least one region like you is good.

also, dark elves are almost all giant assholes. i mean they think making people suffer is fun. at least oozes only hurt people cause they are hungry.

>>231929
Delicious adventuring plot hooks. Ask him how you can be of assitance, becuase the sooner he's done with that the sooner he can help you.

>>232068
This. You need to learn for yourself who it is alright for you to use your acid on.

A good rule of thumb is to only fight for other people.

Someone new walks in front of Curi. He's humanoid but he has green scales on most of his skin. It's a light green, like the color of a Elves hair. He also has two wings on his back.

>"Ah, Torin! Just set that over by the food stock."

He stares at me smiling.

My face feels hot.

try not to immediatly hug him just because you can because you will eat his clothing and thus expose his body and oh my that would be just terrible now wouldn't it

>>234152
HUG HIM!

>>234156
We appear to have reached a consensus.

>>234152
Don't hug him, let's not destroy his clothes

Ask him if you can hug him. We can't go around hugraping everything.

yes ask if he wants a hug.

Hug just his arm. It will be awkward.

He's trying to seduce you, Curi!

More like succeeding. Thats probably the first time she's ever been able to touch someone without eating or merging with it.

>>234445
Oh jeez. I guess you should ask him about himself. What is he, a dragon? Are there more people like him?

...and ask his name too.

.....
FUCK! He's a half-green-dragon! O.O!!!
Wait. Aren't black dragons the acid ones, and Green the poison ones? That kinda stuff keeps changing all the time...

he is so dreamy~ and it is nice that you finally managed to hug someone. but chris got bonus points for hugging you even though it hurt. that is a sign of a true friend, being with you in spite of the pain.

anyway, ask where we are going first.

Nice, a halfdragon. Awesome, and with him watching over you I'm certain you can do anything.

He jumps in the air and flies off!
A minute passes.

".... bye.."

Chris >"..... Anyway Curi let me tell you the plan."

He takes a stick and begins drawing in the dirt.

"We're going to meet up with another group who has the same goals as us halfway. From there we're going to make a direct attack on the Dark Elf. It's our best shot. We'll be leaving in groups of ten. Torin and myself will be in a group. I want you to come along as well. Gather up anyone you want to join us and we'll head off tomorrow, okay?"

"okay."

the elf dude would probably want to come, the one thing elves hate more then goblins is dark elves. bring goblin girl as well.

be careful though, dark elves have been known to ride gelatinous cubes, which are pretty deadly for you since they are large ooze things.

>>234552
Go tell your new friends about this, but probably only Eirik is any kind of a warrior. He might know some people though.

>>234552
Oh god we're going? We need some combat training! Ask someone to help you spar. Um. With a training dummy of course.

While you're in the town, it might be a good idea to see if you can hunt down an alchemist. He/she might be able to concoct some sort of potion that will neutralize your acidic properties for short periods of time. It would make for a decent stop-gap measure for the time being.

Wait what am I saying!? I can't fight!
I'm not supposed to be fighting!

Oh man... I should still talk to the others about this..
I go to where Teri said we were all staying and push open the door.

Oh, Sersi is here.

>>238577
Say hello and express worry about being sent to fight, as you have basically no skill in combat.

>>238577
So don't fight. Instead, sneak into their camp at night and dissolve their equipment. When they go to fight the next day their armor and weapons will be useless.

well since your people live in the caves eventually the dak elves will meet up with them, and they will capture them and use them as slaves, not just kill them. they have people who ride gelatinous cubes. they know how to control slimes.

>>238615
The solution there is to ally with the Dwarves. Dwarven construction would benefit greatly from acidic intelligent slimes, and they're sworn enemies of the drow.

>>238600
Rather, dissolve their clothing, the straps of their armor, and the handles of their swords. they will be forced to fight naked with unweildy, painful to hold weapons, or to just give up. Either way, no wholesale slaughter! Yay!

I walk next to her.

"Sersi... There's gonna be a big fight soon and i don't know what to do.."

I explain the situations. Sersi listens to me and about my own beliefs on fighting.
After a while she nods.

>"Okay, well the way I see it there are three options.
A. We go see some dwarves and try to convince them to help us.
B. You learn how to fight.
C. You and I run far far away.
Which do you think is better for you?"

>>239095
D: Melt the armor and clothing in the middle of the night so no fighting happens! :3c

running is a no no. would just be abandoning everyone. we should try to find some dwarves but learning how to fight is not a bad thing. so do both. learn how to fight while going to the dwarfs.

>>239096
If by 'melt' you mean 'eat', then go for-- wait. Curi can't melt OR eat metal. :(

>>239150
metal armor isn't solid metal. it has leather straps holding it together.

Curi you may not be mentally of physically capable to be a warrior, but some basic self defense is still a good idea. If you can disarm an enemy or cause it pain quickly you can avoid getting yourself or your friends hurt, and just being able to avoid blows will keep you safer. So that is something that you can do... it won't do all that much about the battle though.

Go visit the dwarves, they're the best help you can get right now. We don't know how the dwarves feel about other races, we can guess they don't care for orcs but what about humans and catfolk and goblins? We should make sure to bring someone they are more willing to trust. And hopefully they'll be a bit less prone to freak out when they see you.

Can you give us a smiley face :p

>>239095
Curi, you've almost been killed twice now because people didn't know what you were. You need to at least learn how to dodge and/or deflect attacks properly.

That said, your mission shouldn't involve fighting. In the end, going to talk to the dwarves is the best option. You can remain relatively nonviolent, and the coming battle will be easier.

The groups have split up. Right now it's me, Eirik, Chris, Nalik, Sersi and Torin.
I told Chris about the dwarf idea and he agrees that it seems reasonable.
Extra help in the battle would be great and it is somewhat on the way there.
So we got packed and head off.
Over the past few days I've been training and I've gotten a few new skills.
I can Acid Spit no a long distance and even throw acid at a short distance. The throw gives out more acid but it's less accurate and less range.
Torin also got me Light Green Scale Leather which I can place within myself to protect my main body a little bit more.
All in all I'm pretty combat ready. However I have no idea on how to approach dwarves. One slip and I might ruin this opportunity..

Ask for advice first, then approach with caution.

Run at dwarves yelling, "I love you, please don't hurt me!"

Okay, not really, but you're just so d'aww I can't help but thing it might work.

dwarves respect Strength. but you should approach with caution. approach with your whole group, should make them not think of attacking right away at least, and let you explain what is going on. make sure to include how your people also live in the caves and you worry that if the drow meet them then they will be enslaved.

Look into how to be diplomatic with dwarves. It's not something I support guessing on.

>>246764
Dwarves respect alcohol. Bring them a barrel of quality ale.

Etch a nearby wall/door/etc with an engraving using your acidic fingers. Any sort of frieze will do. Dwarves like that sort of thing.

The dwarf guarding the gate seems unimpressed and confused.

excellent. initial intro is only time you need to worry. since he hasn't attacked, you can now talk normally.
"hello, i'm a representative of the race known as 'slime children', we wish to make an alliance with you since we fear our home will come under attack by the Dark Elves. we would be willing to do work like this in exchange for your protection, this was simply a 10 second job while some would be able to do an unparalleled level of detail."

Do you still have whatever you used to make the writing on the sign? Draw a tankard. They'll get a lot friendlier real quick.

Introduce yourself, ask if they hate Dark Elves, and if they wouldn't mind helping us kill some.

>>247334
He didn't attack you on sight, that's a huge plus.

Tell him about the Dark elf army and the small settlement on the verge of being attacked.

The dwarf looks at us for a second then motions for us to enter the city. He leads us deep deep underground.
Eventually we reach a small chamber decorated with gold. The dwarf says that inside is their leader.

We step into the room which is noticeably darker then the hallway outside.
Sitting atop a golden throne is their leader.

We explain to him the situation.

>"Hmmph... Well slime child, as it stand we dwarves have yet to be attacked or even bothered by these Dark Elves. Tell me, why should I risk my men and my people's safety to help you?"

from what we know it could be simply a matter of time, they left you alone just so you would have no reason to enter the conflict so that what they are already fighting would be destroyed. also if all the towns around here are gone then you would have no one to trade with, so all your dwarven crafts will just sit around gathering dust.

>>252120
"They have been eliminating entire towns full of innocent people on the surface and we can't tell why.
No towns means no trade, no trade means you won't be able to sell weapons or buy alcohol and other foods you can't produce underground."

This.

>>252153

>>252153
>>252194
That sounds good in theory, but he might try to trade with the dark elves.

I think it would be best if she'd try and convince him that the dark elves are eventually going to turn hostile to the dwarfs. If the dwarfs help us now, the casualties would be much lower than if they had to defend from a dark elven attack all by themselves.
