Hopefully the mushrooms haven't laden this water full of glowing hallucinogens.

Is there some other, extra normal way to drink water that I wasn't aware of?

This is good. I feel a bit better after drinking. Something is still missing, though...

>>446102

Uhm, I don't have roots. I'm pretty sure roots are what do that kind of thing. Maybe later?

And yes, those are mushrooms glowing into the water. They are bioluminescent.

Sorry, I think we assumed you were drinking by just sticking your arm in the water. Please excuse the silliness and expecting you to have magic root-limbs.

If you can dig up one of the shrooms, you have a portable light source. Try not to just pick it, it might just die and go out then.

Oh right, I confused your branches with roots.

>>446385
maybe you need something to eat... earth? Are the mushrooms growing on earth? do you like earth?^^
Excuse me for being a bit uncertain with a wood-based being...
Maybe as a canine you would need meat or as a magical being some magic force...
Sunlight could be also useful later... when you get green parts... if you get green parts to absorb the sunlight...

... just rest and explore more after that.

THESE ARE DELICIOUS!

I suspect you're missing the sun. Let's get moving again and go out that other passage.

>>446396
I would highly recommend some rest now...

Erm, sorry about that. Heh...

But I'm not actually that tired anymore. I don't think I'm recovered fully, there is still something missing, but I don't need to rest anymore. The water and mushrooms have helped.

>>446386

I can see just fine, but I think I'll keep a few anyway. They are pretty tasty, I'll just put them in the bag.

Hm... I think I can perhaps fit three more handfuls of stuff in this bag. FOUR palms worth of goods, if you will. I should conserve space.

>>446397
>>445666

You might be right...

>>446397

... But which passage? There are two of them, opposite the tunnel I entered from. One of them has... something in the entryway.

It kind of looks like those bones from before...

>>446402

Never mind, I spoke too late.

Can you feel anything different about the two passages? If you can feel air moving into or out of one of them, or hear anything, that passage might be more likely to lead you somewhere.

Otherwise, inspect the bones. See if there's anything interesting about them. If someone died trying to go down that passage, it might lead to an escape or shelter of some kind.

>> examine the bones

Hmm... they are the same kind of bones as before. But something seems off about them.

Nothing to find on them though. Shall I check this tunnel?

What are those marks there? Was something dragged through here? Was the skeleton crushed or pushed aside? Because there's a definite trail of some sort of the floor.

Sure, why not? It looks like Stuff Has Happened here. You might as well check it out.

Don't go where bones are, that way lies danger. Go the other route.

Check for air flowing through both paths, then head through the one with a greater flow.

Uhm... woah, slow down!

Okay, the one you think is dangerous does have more air coming out of it. So maybe it's the exit, even if it's dangerous?

Or should I go the safer route anyway?

I'm kind of confused now!

Sorry for confusing you... but I think the Bone route is probably the best.

Well, we don't know it's dangerous, but that path is more likely to have an exit with airflow. Bones it is.

MECHANICAL TRAP!

Get out of the way, watch where it comes from tehn bash that spot... your big enough to seriously damage any sort of mechanism. Things just aren't built to deal with you.

I don't think I care much for this cave decor!

Make sure you're out of it's way, and it can't hit you. Then see if you can break it.

OK our comfort levels just went way, way down. PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION

Break it, and proceed, watch out for additional traps... theres rarely just one.

Yeah, try to break it, but BE CAREFUL!

>>446634

Okay... that wasn't so bad. I'm still all in one piece... I think? Mostly?

... Yes.

And yeah, it's broken. It bounced off my back and onto the ceiling, then ground off all its uhm... cutty bits. I guess I was too big after all.

... Though I was pretty sure the stains weren't so brown before... or that drippy.

... Hmm. It smells like pine in here now.

Dang you must be a softwood then.

You must have gotten cut. You might want to check.

>>446650
Seems like you're made of pine. Also I'm betting you have metal shards in your back now. Pull them out so that you don't further injure yourself while scraping your back against these tunnels.

Your element is between earth and water. This might be a bit crude, but you could pack your wounds with earth and then water them to grow them back together. You're not really sure how you work at all besides that gem inside you that must not be broken at all costs.

>>446655

I'm a little cut, yeah. I'll manage though.

>>446661
None of them actually caught in my back, looks like. They'll all on the tunnel floor.. or in the ceiling.

>>446674
Gem? I have a gem? If I do, I can't tell where it is.... and there is not a premium of dirt around here, in stone caverns.

So, should I just continue through this tunnel, then?

Yes continue. Watch out for additional traps... try to spot openings like the one that saw came out of.

>>447070
And listen for any more clicks.

Did your backpack get damaged?

Its on his front thankfully

We got some increase in level of insight for your body here...
Say, would you like to have some name? Now would be a good point to get one you like...

>>447074

No, my FRONTpack was undamaged by my BACK wound, fortunately. The laws of causality remain stable.

But yeah, I'm keeping my eyes firmly out for more potential traps, trust me.





-click-

A pitfall trap? I'd have thought you'd be too big for any in here.

Just climb back out, or stand up. I doubt the trap designers were planning on someone your size.

Yeah, I actually don't think they intended size to be much of a factor, either.

But... good news is, I've found a way out.

Always think positive, right?

>>447079

Sure, why not. A name sounds nice. I've got a few moments to spare.

What a lovely sunrise...

Grab onto something I guess.

>>447088
Yeah, no way too tell how high you're up. A long fall could hurt.

Nothing to grab in the air...

I'll just grab onto the ground, I guess...

... and it did hurt...

... but more importantly...

... I still can drag myself out...

... into the sun...

... and rest here.

Make sure the laws of causality are still in effect before you think of a name.

Well... rest then. You're wood, hopefully sun and earth will get you back on your feet after a while.
