Put the bombs in your mouth and light them.

Detonate a bomb underwater. The rapid changes in pressure will cause the crocodiles to die of internal bleeding.

Detach your bitten limbs and make them choke the crocodiles from the inside.

>>813730
Just submit and be nice to the crocodiles as they eat you. They probably don't get that very often, and there's little chance you're going to live at this point, so you might as well go out doing something kind.

go for the eyes!

"I already died from the crocs once! Doing it again isn't gonna help!"

well, you could, in theory, feed yourself to them so many times they get full and let you pass.

How many lives do you have? What are the negative ramifications, other than excruciating pain, of dying?

Do you regenerate limbs if a few limbs go missing?

I agree, feeding them till they're no longer hungry might work. Alternately, explain why you are no longer dead and try to use that log over there as a bridge.

use the spears and some elastic bodypart like tongue or tail to slingshot your head across the river, then tumble the rest into the water to reset the situation

Maybe use the log like a bridge, if you run across it fast enough.

>>813765
>>813768
Actually, don't crocodiles keep eating, even when they're full? If we went with this plan, then we'd keep feeding them until they explode!

>>813760
Push the log in as a bridge, detach a forearm and slap the water's edge to lure them somewhere far away from it and use a vine tied to your arm to pull it back to you as you run for the bridge.

>>813760
Use the dead tree as a bridge!

Perform a crocodile mating dance! They'll never see it coming!

>>813788
Or do this

use log as bridge.

>>813760
take off legs at knees straddle log and use spear to paddle your way across on the log

Detach arms and legs and send them out in a search pattern. Find any supplies in the area that could help you across.

>>813760
No, no, it's a metaphor, see! You put the killing thing between your teeth, then give it the power to kill you, symbolizing the crocodiles in your mouth! And if you have the crocodiles clamped between *your* jaws, then that gives you the metaphorical victory. And let's face it, you're not winning any other victories here.

I activate a bomb and toss it near a cluster of crocs.
>-Boomf!-
Hooboy they look distressed! Lookit 'em go! They won't be bothering me now.

>>813745

Eugh, gooey! Okay, he's outta here. One croc left... Um, I think.

>>813765
>>813768
>>813772
>>813781
Nah, I can only go back to before I died, at least in this case. These crocs haven't had a taste of me anymore! But they did get a piece of me! Hah!

I can get healed, but outside of that, my regeneration is just ok. Not fast.

It's not long enough! Plus it's really heavy. But I'll try...

>>813738
>>813772
>>813887
I'll consider this, but I'd rather not lose any parts if I don't have to. I am close to the end, though... so, maybe, I could afford to do something a little crazy!

>>813829
I don't know a crocodile mating dance!

>>813893
That won't help me get the artifact at the end of this trail!

So there's one more croc to deal with. I might be able to get across quickly enough that he won't get me, but I dunno.

Use parts of the dead crocodiles to craft gear to combat the final croc! Simply chopping off a tail to club him with should do.

Use dead croc as raft, and row across!

Are there any vines you can swing across? or at least most of the way across?

>>814289
Challenge the last croc to a duel.

>>814289
Lure the last croc towards you by wading into the water a little. Then spear it.

>>814368

Crocs are slow on land! See if you can get it to come out at you onto land! Then spear it.

I step into the water and do a little dance.
"Hey croc! I'm real meaty and good to eaty! Fight me!" He's comin'!
"Yaaaa!" I spear his eyes too! Today is a bloody day. And whatever the heck that eye goo stuff is too.

I think that's all of 'em... I go in and drag a carcass out of the water to the other side - it's heavy! I'm just gonna get the one. I spend a little time crafting and now I look snazzy. Yeah!
So this should be the last thing before the artifact... Looks like I have to stand here and press this button, and then I have to go over there and press that one within a certain time limit. That's pretty far away!

One disembodied hand on one switch and one on the other.

And you behind a tree in case of traps that would kill anyone touching a button.

How many save slots do you have? Can you save to the second one now?

Use the rope and a simple pulley system so you can activate the button from a distance.

Save at red button, push blue button, quickly reload save and push red.

>>815277

>>815278
I already saved. If it comes down to it, I can ALSO restart a quest and just do everything the same way I did it before, and start doing things differently at any point I want. I'd hate to do that here though! So close!!

>>815288
If I reverted, then the blue one wouldn't be pressed anymore!

>>815277
>>815305
I set myself up like so. It's hard to hold onto the pedestals, while being able to press the buttons, without pressing them by accident, but I manage it. Aaaand...!
...I can't press the red button? Hey, what gives! I step out from the trees and read the sign near the blue button. Ohhhh, that makes things trickier.
I can press either button first, but I have to be standing at it, and I can't be at the second one at the same time or else it won't work. Hidden pressure plates maybe?
I DON'T have to be standing at the second one when I press it, but the buttons do require skin contact.
That's weird but it shouldn't be too tough? Why'd they put the more detailed instructions over here? These guys are jerks! It's like they don't want people to touch the artifact without going through a buncha hassle.
I try pressing the blue button. Just as I thought! It doesn't work, and I bet it's 'cause my other hand is still at the red one.

>>815278
I liked this idea, but it seems I can't use it!

I still have my spear and one bomb, in case those are any use.

You're a coordinated looking young man. Split in half at your waist and station your legs near the second button. With your upper half, press the first button. Then walk over to the second and press it with a leg. Sit on it if you have to!

one arm, one leg at each pad

>>815834
One eye on each button.

Try moving a dead croc in front of one of the buttons.

How well can you control your body parts? Can you leave an arm and hand sitting at a button to press it as you stand over at the other one?

Or you could keep the first button pressed with one hand while you detach it, then walk over to the other one to press it? I mean, maybe the timer only starts when you let go of a button.

Just use the dead croc on the pressure plate.

Detach one leg and arm by one of the buttons but off the plate, have the arm hold onto the leg while you hop over to the other button. After pressing the first button, have your leg/arm hop up onto the plate and press the button with your arm.

I take the remains of the dead croc and stick it near the red button. Because it's closer and gosh darn if this thing isn't still heavy!

>>815876
Can do! I leave one arm at the red, walk over to the blue, and get out of the way again. This time I press the red one and it works! The pedestal sinks right into the ground, and there's a rumbling OH FUCK THAT'S THE BIGGEST DAMN BOULDER-
"AAAAAAGH!" It squishes my arm and the crocodile chunk! I leap at the second pedestal and hammer that goddamn button, and the boulder vanishes before it hits the doors.
The doors! They open, revealing the artifact, and I touch it with my remaining arm. I feel a SURGE OF POWAH and now I can instantly disguise myself as an inanimate object whenever I want! And I don't get to pick what it is! Wahoo!

Good thing I get free heals at the town where I spend a lot of my downtime. I'm gonna go there right now! My poor arm!

It's a good thing I didn't do this! I was totally gonna do it but then this other idea worked. Phew!

>>815838

I don't think I could have pulled these off...

Once I get healed, I can move on to another mission or chill out for a bit. What to do...

Tavern (chill out and talk)
Temple of the Fist (get the Super Fist artifact)
Volcano Ascent (get the Fireball artifact)
IN SPACE (get the Super Jump artifact)

tavern first to get a drink to wash out the flavor of dieing so much

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

Tavern, maybe. Test out that new ability of yours and see if you can snag some help.

Yeah tavern. Try to get free drinks by showing off your new power.

I grab them heals and head to the tavern.
"Hey Josie!" She's a good bouncer. I can't count how many times I've died to her.
"Hey Glinp." She nods and lets me through.
"Heyyyy can I interest you in going adventuring with me?" She's immune to like every kind of magic and she's got SUPER REFLEXES and accuracy and strength. She'd be great!
"Only if it pays more than 740 krels a day." Sssshhhucks, I ain't got that kinda dough. I guess if I can raise enough from looting during missions, I can bring her!
"OK maybe a different time."
"Yup. Maybe. Actually, I'd be willing to lower that price, if you grab me some superconductors."
"I know what those are! I'll keep an eye out." She laughs and gets serious in an instant.
"Now stop distracting me." OK then!

I sit at the bar and say to the guy next to me, "I'll bet you one drink that I can turn into an inanimate object!"
"Haha what. No." He goes back to drinking. Maybe I need a better approach. The barkeep speaks up.
"So you touched one of those eh, artifact things?"
"Yeah! Check it out!" I turn into a purse that looks like someone could have left it on my stool.
"That's..." he coughs and doesn't look too impressed. Well I think it's neat! But it's booze o'clock, so I turn back into me. Mind-altering things only affect my body, and I stay sharp as ever! That goes for booze and for mind-control. I order something fruity and colourful.

There's some other folks here, but they probably won't just go with me for nothing either. If they die I can have them resurrected afterward, but that's expensive so I should PROBABLY not let it happen. Josie can't be resurrected, but it'd be pretty tough to get HER killed.
I've got an eye for my fellow adventurers, and these seem like the best candidates:

Sergal (Fast and agile, lightly armoured, mostly average, has a spear. Probably not a genius.)
Neumono (Strong, really durable, slow to react, has a sword. Has adventured with me before, got some alright chemistry there.)
Slime (Weak, vulnerable to extreme temperatures, can squash and stretch and split, can produce acids and aphrodisiacs. Kinky!?)

No magic users this time. I bet there'll be one after I finish one of the missions though!

A cheese wedge isn't useful, you probably don't need food that badly. And slimes are entry-tier. By elimination, that leaves the...

Neumono!

Hmmm. If you were to recruit anyone, I'd say recruit the slime. If they're able to directly reshape themselves, it could prove really useful in SPAAAAAAAAAAACE. Or the temple!

>>816387
slime!

Slime has definite potential for if you transform into a small inanimate object and then it carries you somewhere you couldn't normally get to.

Neumono! What's the gender of each, by the way?

The Neumono is a good choice, since you've worked with her before.

>>816387
Try recruiting the slime.

If you get an ally killed, can you just kill yourself and load from save before they died? Saves you the cost of getting them rezzed.

>>816387
Go with Neumono because you've worked with her before and it's very difficult to kill a Neumono!

Sergal. Sergals are cool.

Sergal. Because I mean why not.

If you take the slime it probably won't survive so if you're okay with that take slime .
Otherwise take Neumono.

The slime.

Because everything is better coated in slime?

"I can do THIS!" I turn into a jacket draped over the back of my chair.
"Heyyy, that's cool!" She chuckles and takes another drink. "You and your weird powers." I turn back. I can't talk or move on my own while in disguise.
"I just got it on my latest mission! And I'm about to do another one."
"I just finished kind of a long one." She sighs. "All I got was money and some memories of things I'd like to un-see. Not a bad bargain, HAAH!" She takes another drink and wipes her mouth on her arm. "But I'm gonna chill for a bit unless you've got something that'll convince me."
"That's OK, I don't probably!" I could figure out something to get her to go along, but naaah.
"Cheers, and g'luck, G'linp." She raises her mug and we clink 'em.

Slime time! I go to where the Slime is.
"Good evening, fellow adventurerrr!"
"Hello, fellow." They turn their head, then turn only their upper body, and lean their arm on the bar. The way slimes move is so weird! "Can I help you?"
"My name's Glinp and I'm looking for an ADVENTURING partner. How would you like to team up?"
"My name is Irib, and that depends~ What do you bring to the table, what kind of adventuring did you have in mind, and, what do I get if we succeed at it?" I explain my non-save powers, with a short demonstration of each, and the temple and space missions, and I ask what they want out of it.
"Oh, that sounds juicy." They consider it while drinking from a mug through their ARM (through their arrrm!). "I'd do it for half of any money we collect, and I'd like to touch the artifact as well. I think that's fair~"

Should I take them up on the offer? It sounds fair to me, but I can get by with nobody if I gotta. Guess I won't even bother with the Sergal! And I still gotta figure out where I'm going. The three options are still on the table, but I won't take the Slime to the Lava one. That would be rude! I'll hang around and drink a while longer, but I'll mosey on to the next mission before too long if there's nothing else I should do here.

I think that's fair. You seem to be in it for the powers anyway! Two people touching the artifact isn't going to dilute the effect, is it?

>>816574
Fine by me.

Take that slime to the Temple of the Fist. Surely its goopy constitution will serve it well against punch-based threats.

"Another conquest?"
"What!"
"What?"
"Nothin'. Have a good time, you two."

We warp to the spaaaace mission! There's a Duduk here!
I say, "Hail, good sir!" but he looks all weird!

He's probably infected with something. Start killing him, see what you can find out.

Keep your distance, he looks crazy!

Yea, he's totally infected by something. Get in a defensive combat stance, try to talk to him from afar and get him to approach YOU, rather than approaching him... determine what's up with him!

Who's conquesting who, here, is what I wanna know.

>I say, "Hail, good sir!" but he looks all weird!
Detach an arm and throw it at him to poke him.

I agree, keep trying to get his attention so we can determine if it's (probably) hostile.

His eyes look around in different directions. Duduks can't normally do that! He's also making weird noises now instead of talking. Classic signs that something's up!
"I think he might be infected with somethin', Irib!"
"I would have to agree." They break off the end of a tentacle and send it behind the desk or whatever that is that the Duduk's behind. Sneaky sneaky!
"I'm gonna throw my arm at him!" Which I do! "Hnnn-uhh!" It bops him right on the head, just as he was starting to leap over the console! He falls to the ground and boy I know Duduks are pretty flexible but this is unusual! Oh geez I think he's gonna get back up! And he's got my arm!

Grab your arm and start swinging the Duduk around until he flies off. Preferably onto the transporter pad. Irib's tentacle can take care of things from there.

>>817334
But they might send the infection somewhere else!

We don't want more people infected by whatever this is when we return to the planet!

Let's see what kind of horrible thing this infected person can do, then we'll rewind.

Take out spear with good arm, stab the infected crewman in the face while it's busy with the other arm.

I hope I didn't get infected too! That would be a real hassle. He wasn't so tough though.

I collect my arm. Now we have a choice of two doors. There's one that goes to a SPOOKY dark corridor and one that goes to a corridor that's covered in blood! Irib and I can go to one together, or we can split up, or they can split in two and I can go with one of them. Or OTHER OPTION?

>>817779
Follow that blood, I'm sure it leads to something important.

Go with Irib down the bloody hallway. Remain on guard against infection, you might be able to isolate it in a part you can split off.

Hopefully it's not gotten to you, if it shows up way late reloading back to fight this guy again just to avoid it would be rough.

Follow the ADVENTURE LINE! To adventure!

Detach whatever part got clawed and keep it under observation. Could save you a reload down the line.

Check under the teleport control panel for secret stash!
Or a flashlight. Cause spooky tunnel looks like the way to go.

Split yourselves up! Have your upper half go with Irib down the bloody path, then have your lower half go with the -other- Irib down the dark path!

It's the path of blood for me!
"Hey Irib, why don't you split up and I'll go with you down this bloody corridor while you go down the other one?" Irib considers it and splits in two.
"I suppose we could try it." One of their halves splits into two even smaller Iribs, and one of those makes its way down the spoooky hallway while I investigate the blood one. Irib must be pretty adept to have that kind of confidence in their splitting! We get to the end of the corridor and open the door, and then-!
"WHOAAA THERE'S A REAL ZOMBIE!"

Cool, it can detach its limbs just like you! Use your spear to attempt negotiations from a distance.

"Hey Belenosian dude! Are you a zombie?" He'sss not movin'...
"I think he is simply regular-dead."
"Yeah, well... maybe." I keep my distance when I step into the room. Looks like there are some cocoons on the wa- "AUGHHHH GET IT OFF ME"
"SCREEEEE!" Was this a trap!? This crazed Salazzarine must've been hiding on the ceiling! Damn! Irib's trying to pull it off me, but they're not very strong and the Salazza's bladelimbs can cut through their pseudopods like nobody's business! I'm holding it off, but it's gonna get me if I don't think of something quick!

Suplex the knifebug.

Detach your pierced limbs and roll away.

>>818351
Fall to pieces and play dead!

Use the door to cut it in half!
Wait isn't there a safety mechanism
EH TRY IT ANYWAY

If the disguise ability changes you into an inanimate object, as in physically not just your appearance, do that shit right now. This will hopefully bamboozle the Salazzarine into believing you have left. Irib should squeeze someplace safe til the thing leaves.

If it is just a change to your appearance then >>818356 and get back into the hallway, it's an ambush predator that you just walked into the kill point of, fighting from here is bad. What if it's not the only one?

ambushes only work once. load and reverse ambush it this time.

"I'm gonna flip 'im!" I can't manage a suplex, but I do manage to twist so it falls on the ground pretty hard, and Irib jumps off to give it some extra force! Disengaging my pierced arm and leg at the right time seems to help too.
>-Splorch-
It scrabbles on the bloody floor and makes the mess even bigger! But who's counting at this point.
...Man, the cleanup crew's gonna have a fun time with THIS place! Anyway, the Salazza wasn't disoriented for very long so I fall apart and that seems to have confused it! I try the disguise ability. Pppphhhaaah, NICE! All my parts turned into objects! The Salazza stops looking at me and swings to face Irib. Dammit, I have to turn back for a sec to talk.
"Squish it with the door!" The Salazza doesn't turn around to look at me yet. Irib is in the hallway and they can press the button!
"C'mere, big guy~!"
"GREHHHHH" It charges at them and they close the door on it, but the door does have a safety mechanism, and it just opens again, ugh. Irib doesn't seem to be in much danger, but they are forced to move around much more than normal for a Slime, so they might tucker out before long.
"If I absorb the blood, perhaps I can overpower it!"
"Yeah do it please!"
"This body may become infected!"
"Shit!" Is it worth trying? I kinda think it might be!

>>818419
That might become necessary in a second, but then again I've gotten through stickier situations before!

Yeah, do it.

Well, he's got a spare in the other corridor right? Drink up!

It's definitely worth trying. Would infection affect Irib's second body?

>>818628
Split off a tiny body and have it absorb the blood! You'll still get the strength boost and it will isolate the disease if something goes wrong.

>"Shit!" Is it worth trying? I kinda think it might be!
Worst case we get a monster slime and still have the other slimes that slit off. Or worster case, you have to reset things.

Go for power, buddy!

Wait a minute, weapons count as inanimate objects. Toss over a limb to your slime buddy and turn it into a weapon for them. Heck, do the same for yourself so you can perform a pincer attack!

>>818804
He can't do that. His power doesn't let him pick what inanimate object he turns into. So if he wanted to turn into a weapon, he'd have to repeatedly turn his power on and off until he turned into a weapon. But I don't think he's got time to experiment with his powers, considering the enemy is right next to him!

If we're infected and it hasn't shown itself, may as well go for broke. Do it slime boy!

I can't choose what I turn into, and it's all or nothing. I can't disguise only PART of myself. Plus I think the objects are ornamental. I'm sure if I use it more I can develop it further, so I can do something like this in the future maybe!

They're currently split intoooo well I can't tell from here but it's at least two. Could be more. Each body is totally independent. It's a neat trick! The only way it should affect the other bodies is if they got close enough to touch. I think they might have some kinda... telepathic, short-range, really basic communication with their own bodies, but I never really found out for sure.
"Try using a tiny body for it? If not go for it anyway!"
"Wouldn't be worth it!" They plop down on the floor, and,
>-SHLUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPP-PPPpp!-
Damn that's impressive! That was a shitton of blood! They get so large that they engulf the salazzarine and drown it! It can cut all it wants, but Irib went into its lungs - I think they have lungs? - and Irib can hold it down now, so it's no use. It slows down and its face finally softens into a peaceful expression and it slumps lifelessly. Irib pulls out of it with a gross
>-shlorp-
sound, drops it, and stands up in the room. "I don't feel infected, and I've processed it as best I can," they say, "but it may have a delayed effect. Keep a close eye on me. Shall I help reassemble you?"
"Yeah thanks that'd be great!" They put me back together, except for the punctured arm and leg.
"Do you want these back too...?" Hmm. Tough call! Reattaching them would risk getting the space hoohah into the rest of me, if they have it, or bleeding out... but this looks like it was a medical supply room, once! So maybe we should investigate. The longer we take, the less viable the rest of my limbs will be, on account of their uh, present condition.

Patch up your limbs before attaching them. Investigate cocoons - did the victim come form the open one, or the salazzarine?
Look up. You already got ambushed once.

While you're here and when you get a breather, scavenge the electronics for superconductors. The brains of anything computationally advanced, anything powerfully magnetic, anything vaguely repulsor-y or anti-grav or shield-generator-y should do.

Superconductors are extremely useful for certain aspects of machinery and electronics, and are even more useful in bribing tozols to join us.

Nah, leave the punctured limbs behind. You can get new ones later!

See what's in the cabinets, if it's medical stuff may as well use it to heal your limbs. Rather not risk infection but if you bring along a healed limb, can always pop it on if things get rough.

Agreed that we should patch up limbs before attaching them. Maybe the medical whatsit can scan them first, too?

Check out the cocoons. Only one is open, so there might be a bunch of things still in the others!

"Hey could you see if you can figure out what's in the cocoons? I'm gonna check out the cabinets."
"Alright." They investigate cocoons while I open up the cabinet here and scope it out. I find some bandages and stuff for my limbs and get them to stop bleeding! Good to know this is here. There's not too much stuff left here though. I don't reattach my limbs, which are hurting pretty bad and aren't as good at moving as they used to be. It's better to carry 'em around than leave 'em here though. I'd feel them either way. I also pocket some weird chemicals that I don't recognise. It's all written in a language I DON'T know.
"Got myself patched up. Not gonna reassemble for now. I also found some weird chemicals and I'm gonna take 'em."
"...Alright. As for these cocoons, they seem to have people inside. I can't tell if they're dead, or if they're infected."
"How'd you figure that without opening them? They're not see-through!"
"I made a small puncture, and inserted a tentacle to inspect them with." They gesture to spots where the cocoons are now leaking slightly.
"Oh gross. But they're just Salazza cocoons, right?"
"They seem to be just that."
"Alright well uh, let's see what's through THIS door!" I point and they open it. Another corridor! The lights are kinda busted and flickering but there's always at least a little light from the left. That's better than the spooky corridor! This one looks kinda wet also. There's some blood trails, but it's nothing like this room was.

>>819137
Doesn't seem like there's anything like that in THIS room, but I've only seen a couple rooms so far.

>>819275
No scanning whatsits here!

>>819282
Any superconductors behind that loose hanging light fixture in the corridor?

If not, I say we hang a left at the intersection. Looks like there's light coming from that direction.

There doesn't seem to be anything of interest in here. Have Irib split up so that you can explore all available paths, then continue down the center one.

Reattach tail to leg stump.

Maybe you should insert that tentacle probe a little further and make sure they don't wake up. Why wait to count your salazzarines until after they hatch?

Check behind the door at the end of the hallway, if it opens.

>>819358
I can only reattach things at the correct spot.
"Hey wait were they SALAZZA people or other people?"
"There were no other Salazzas. There was a Miklik, another Belenosian, another Duduk, and some Silirw."
"Should we... kill 'em? So's they don't wake up and attack?" Irib sighs thoughtfully.
"Why don't I try opening one, and see if I can resuscitate them? Perhaps the Miklik, who will be weakest."
"Mmmmm OK." They slit open the Miklik cocoon and we try to rouse the contents to no avail. No life signs apparent. Irib shrugs.
"I think they're just dead."
"Yeah, looks like it. Onward!" I want to do a dramatic pose but I can't do it without falling over, and that BLOWS.

>>819348
"How's about you split into three, and take the left and right paths and you and I go down the middle?"
"Alright." They split into two small and one original-size Slimes. The original-size goes to the left path, which has a large boarded-up window and a door and a dead end.
"This door is locked." While they investigate that, a small Irib and I check the door at the far end.

>>819312
I doubt that a light fixture is gonna have 'em, but I have Irib lift me up so I can get a look. Nope, doesn't look like it. So we open the far door.
A cold fog comes out and Irib steps back quickly! The lights are busted and so's everything else in the room, but I think I can tell what this is supposed to be.
"Those look like stasis chambers."
"I was just about to say that!" Then the Irib in the left hallway calls to us.
"I've found survivors!"

So much stuff! I can't take Irib in here 'cause it's too cold, and they can handle things over there I'm sure. But survivors are also exciting...!

One of the chambers is still occupied! Check it out, leaving Irib outside.

>>819564
Go peek at what's in the stasis chamber, then run off to see the survivors.

>>819564
Have Irib ask the survivors what's going on and if there's an infection of some kind that needs a cure.

Also, don't open that last stasis chamber! Whatever was in that room could've been what caused everything that's going on right now and you don't want to let that last one out!

I guess since the actions are covered, how ya doing?

Check the room with the stasis chambers for superconductors, or anything else that could be interesting, then go check out the survivors.

"Ooh! OK I'm gonna check this room out, and you ask them what the deal is with the space hoohah. And tell them I have a communicator thing here." I wave it at them.
"Roger that!" With that I hop into this cold and dark room by myself to check out a potentially deadly shadowy figure. I can't see clearly through the glass, and wiping it doesn't help much. I tap on it and nothing happens. Maybe if I had a flashlight I could get a better look. A voice comes over the communicator!
"Come in, Glinp." Dangit it's hard to do this AND look for superconductors with one hand.
"That's me! How'd you call me?"
"Irib told us where you found the communicator. I'm Tonzo, the commanding officer here. As for the infection, it's magical in nature and it's spread through blood." I'm startin' to sweat a little here! Irib's chances don't look too good... "However, we believe a Slime, or anyone I suppose, should be able to ingest it without much risk."
"Phew! That's a relief, chief." And, no superconductors or other interesting things here, at least not that I can see. Unless broken glass is interesting. I take a piece just in case.
"We're not going to let either of you in here with us, however. Just in case. It has a deleterious effect on the mind over time, rendering the host into a grotesque, murderous monster. If you... WHEN you run into more such individuals, please kill them. Their old selves are certainly gone."
"... Ah. Roger that. Is there a cure to stop it before it gets that far?"
"We don't have one. If you can figure out what happened to the AI, it should be able to find a cure given time."
"I was wondering if you guys had one of those... Uh hey, so I'm in the stasis room right now and there's this one chamber that's closed and I think there's someone in it?"
"We believe if there's anyone in there, they're dead." Cheeeery place!
"OK!" Now that I've got this guy, I can ask lots of questions! And I can get out of this cold-ass room and check out more of the ship.

>>819707
I'm holding up, as always! I wonder where the heck the artifact could be and what happened to the small Irib that went alone to explore from the transporter room.

>>819991
Ask them when and how the infection started.

And where they keep their artifact.

Go looking for the smaller Irib.

>>819991
If Slimes really are immune would just slime katamari-ing the whole place to remove all the infectious material work?

We can always reset if it goes terribly wrong.

Look around for something to pry open the chamber. So, if the disease is transmitted by blood, yet anyone can safely ingest said blood, how the hell does the infection spread? Some kind of ritual?

>>820007
Cuts. You know, like getting stabbed in all your limbs.

>>820008
Sounds pretty ritual-y to me.

Ask the captain if they have any idea where the controls are for this cryosleep stuff. There appears to be a blood trail leading into this room, meaning whoever's taking the nap in there likely has been infected. Since it's magic, don't know if cold would actually slow the spread.

Also ask if they happen to have any bionics lying around? Just in case.

I might return here later, preferably with warmer clothes. For now, I don't feel like desecrating a corpse AND being so chilly. Brrr!
I get out of the stasis room and close the door. I can hear sounds of struggle from somewhere around the nearest corner.
"So how'd the infection start, and how long ago?" I peek around the corner and there's an elevator. There's also a hallway blocked with debris, and what I think is the Spooky Corridor, which is where the sounds are coming from. I shuffle back the way I came for now. Where it isn't spooky.
"Welll... A few of my crew performed some UNAUTHORIZED rituals involving blood, and it ended up like you see. We're not sure exactly when things went terrible, but it can be traced back to at least a day or two ago." A small Irib is listening in.
"And where do you keep your artifact?"
(Se scoffs) "ExCUSE me, you can't just... well..." Se sighs. "I suppose at this point, I may as well tell you it's not on this level. We think it's on the second level, but we're not sure where. More of the crew is up there, and last we heard, they were essentially possessed by demons. Level 2 is where it began."
"Thanks! Hey you got any bionic parts around?"
"If we do, they're not on this level either."
"OK! I'll let you know if I have any other questions."
"That's... fine." I think se likes me!

>>820002
"So where's that first you that went down the spooky corridor? I just heard noises from there, I think." I gesture toward that corner.
"I'm sure they'll show up, iffff they survive." I can only frown at that. "Do you want to follow them and find out if they haven't?" Something to consider!

>>820005
"Maaaybe. So, Tonzo says ingesting infected blood is probably safe. Do you want to try just uh, slooshing through the whole place and removing all the infecty stuff?"
"I can't say that sounds like a good idea. It has its appeal, but no. It's much too risky." Yeahhh I didn't think they'd go for it. And I can't tell them about the save-power.

So, options:
Scope out level 2. I can always come back down here if I go up.
Debris-filled hallway
SPOOKY CORRIDOR
Room with water coming out of it
SOMETHING ELSE?

Check out water room, bulk up Irib in order to facilitate debris removal.

Hey Glinp, why don't you detach your head and reattach your limbs? You probably can't go crazy if the infected blood can't reach your brain.

See if you can find the Irib that went through the spooky corridor!

>>820135
I mean maybe? Would need something to hold it on the neck-end, plus if we infect Glinp's body, we have to find the cure or hope the healers back in town have a way to remove the disease.

Let's do SOMETHING ELSE: Go investigate the sounds of struggle. You have a glass shard and a spear. You got this.

I lead Irib to the trashed corridor area. We can hear more sounds, quietly.
"In THAT case, I think I WILL check out spooksville here. While I do that, what say you gather yourself up and see if you can get this debris out of the way? Enough for me to get past it anyhow."
"Even enlarged, I'm not terribly strong. But, I can easily slip through the debris and tell you if there's something worth seeing. Are you sure you'll be alright...?"
"Mmmgood thinking! And yeah!" I give a thumb-up and shuffle awkwardly toward the darkness. "I'll holler if I need ya."
"My, you are an odd one." They shrug. "Well, I'll let you know what I find." They start glooping around in the debris.
"'Kay!" Oh hey I can see a small Irib in the transporter room! This IS the same hallway. "Hey are you the one that explored this hallway?"
"No. They went into that room on your right, and didn't come out. I suspect something dangerous is in there. I don't intend to follow." That's definitely where the sounds are coming from. It sounds wet and possibly violent.

I'd better approach this carefully. There are two doors on this side, and I can go in through either, but whatever I do, I don't wanna get ambushed again. It's not so bad if I have to revert, but I don't like dying, and there's no way I could take another Salazza attack like this.

Pick whichever door Irib didn't and open it without going through.

Yeah. Let's explore a bit and see if we can find something useful.

>>820307
>They went into that room on your right, and didn't come out. I suspect something dangerous is in there.
Then let's choose door number not that way!

Go after the noise, something in there needs to die. Listen at the door to determine its current location, then go in from the other.

Nnngggg I listen to the sounds and I think they're coming from the side closest to the elevators.
"Which door did you... uhh did they go in?"
"The one closest to me." I walk toward there and they step back. Or... whatever slimes do that's like stepping.
"I'm gonnaaa open that one." They leap onto the ceiling. That's a good leap! I press the door button and the noises are much more audible with the door open. Yeah that sounds super wet and gross.
"Skrawww!"
"There's a...! Infected Kigavi in here! Can't get close! Powers are too strong!" Shucks, that could be tricky! I'm not sure what I can do about telekinesis right now.
>-bvweemp, slork, splap-
"What do I do!" some water sprays out into the hallway.
"Not sure! Sneak attack? From other door?"
"Hrawk!"
>-sklish, klorff, bzoop-

How to take down this bad bird before my buddy goes bye-bye...

Last remaining bomb hucked into the room. If we can't get close, have to use something that doesn't need to be.

>>820626
Glinp just said that the infected in there has telekinesis, they can just psychic the bomb back at us! Unless being infected won't let it control it's powers properly.

And there's a tiny Irib in there.

So if Irib doesn't mind letting a tiny part of itself get killed, I guess we can throw a bomb in there and hope that being infected won't let it psychic the bomb back at us! Or just throw in the bomb and close the door.

>>820633

Staying out of view will hopefully not give it a target. Other options for projectiles can be pushed away, if it is simply pressing away from itself in all directions. If it presses the explosive into a corner, the force will bounce back into the area. This is presuming it telekinetically can move only solid masses and not manipulate gases or do whatever else it can do. It's infected, it isn't thinking clearly, we have to work with the ability it currently displays. You do have an excellent point though, if Irib could vacate the room, closing the door on his way out, that would be preferable.

Follow Irib's suggestion and sneak attack!

Split yourself into as many parts as possible to overwhelm the telekinetics! Changing shape rapidly with your transformation power may help confuse it. You're primarily going to be a disraction.

>>820612
If there's water in there, can you introduce some electricity to it?

Do you still have your loose arm?
If you can find a sneaky angle, you could use your arm as an atl atl. Spear throwing device basically.

It should give you the speed to outpace even a telekanetic blast.
Also unless it lands on them Irib should be safe from bombs. Liquids and pressure differentials only matter with organs, which Irib is lacking(?).
Otherwise can you escape with the Irib clone and seal the door? It's not like we don't have reinforcements.

Beware door Safety mechanisms.

"I'll go in the other door! You distract 'em and I'll toss a bomb at 'em! Then you get out and close this door!"
"I'll try!" I open the other door. Huh, this is a locker room. The door to the shower room, where Irib and the Kigavi are, is open. I line up a shot at the Kigavi, activate and toss the bomb, close the door, and run out and close the outer door. Irib is already out, and their door is closing. Just in time!
...That is not a small Irib anymore.
>-Bomf!-
"RRRRRRRRRR! REEE! Rrrrrr..."
"Ya think that did the trick?"
"Uhhhhg. Can't say... too hungry..."
"Hey ceiling Irib, what do we do?"
"Merge with another Irib, maybe?" Regular-size comes around the corner
"Are you infected?"
"Don't think so..." Regular-size merges with them. It's really swirly and bulgey and kind of disturbing honestly.
"This is not ideal, but it will do. I now have the memories of both bodies. The only things of interest there were the Kigavi and more dead bodies."
"Did youuuu eat any of 'em?"
"No, I just took on a lot of water, which... did not help. I wasn't sure eating the bodies would be safe, and it might have been in bad form."
"rrrrr..." The Kigavi is still alive and bumping into things.
"Ugh. I'm not going back in there without a plan. Honestly, we might be better off leaving it alone for now. It may die on its own."

I'm about ready to check out floor numero 2, probably with an Irib, while Iribs handle the rest of this floor. Maybe I should see about finishing the job with this Kigavi though? I am still waiting to hear back from the Irib who was going through the debris...

Try and sneak up on the Kigavi and finish it with your spear. It may be best to watch how it's telekinesis has been affected by the injury before finishing it off with your spear. Throwing it may work, but if it's powers lash out in random spurts or all around it, may need the bracing provided by holding it to strike true.

>>820835
So blood makes it bigger and water makes it hungry? Slimes are weird.

>Leave the Kigavi?
I'd rather kill it and make sure it dies. That way we don't get one of those moments where we think it's dead but it comes back later when we ain't expecting it to attack!

If you close the doors then break the locks it'll be trapped in there! Or not even bother to break the locks since it seems to be really stupid and probably can't use doors.

Irib can feed on the blood.
The water diluted it.
Protein is good for the pseudopods.


Damn if we could find a way to get that kagavi, there'd be loot for days in those lockers.

Maybe just explore more rooms?

"You look like you have a plan."
"I'm gonna take a peek and see if I can sneak up on it. A sneak peek."
"..."
"Yeah." I open the door to the locker room and the inner door to the showers. The Kigavi's looking fucked up but oh shit it's gonna fuck me up
>-Bzewrpfzzzzz-
"OOFFff!" It spotted me and slammed me up against the wall! The Kigavi stumbles and I slide down. It's definitely having trouble concentrating, but that was no weaksauce psychic blast. The sauce was in fact quite strong. "Ow... sneak check failed..." I roll out into the hallway and close the outer door. I couldn't chance trying to close the door to the showers.
"How's it look?"
"Looks like... shit..." I cough. "Uncoordinated but strong."
"Are you alright...?" I give a thumb-up. I'm not coughing up blood, but after another hit like that I might be! "Perhaps I can distract it this time..." Irib muses. "since it seems I can take hits better than you~" Oh snap! They're right about that, though.

OK, it has the awareness to recognize you as a threat, maybe have Irib poke around the corner with your detached arm held in it. You can flip the bird the bird before you go in for the kill.

>>821183
So distract it by making it look one way, while sneaking up on it from the other direction? That sounds good!

Plan use the slime as bait sounds like a good plan.

These guys are gonna be tough when they start coming possessed instead of just notso recently deceased.

I'm game for plan Slime Shield . Just make sure Irib doesn't get blasted with too much water.
Not saying they can't take it, but that waters filthy.

Debris-Irib returns.
"Is this a bad time?"
"Go ahead. Ow."
"Well, the path leads to the bridge. There's some equipment to communicate with the rest of the ship, but I'm not sure if there's anyone to communicate with. There's also a lot of money. I think it fell from the floor above. There's a hole, which I couldn't reach."
"Whaaat, no shit?" I obviously have no qualms about stealing a bunch of money! I have big concerns!

"Well first we gotta put this poor fella outta commission, and I say using you as the bait so I can jab it with my spear is a good idea," I say to the big Irib. "Here, take this." I give them my detached arm.
"Alright, but why?"
"Maybe you can use it to help distract the Kigavi."
"I suppose." They stand in front of the door near the transporter room and I stand by the other one. "Ready?"
"Ready." They open the door and split into several bodies that start whooping and leaping into the room! The Kigavi takes notice immediately, and I open my door and hope it doesn't pay attention. It doesn't! I charge in and start stabbin'! "HYAAAGH QUIT BEIN' ALIVE AND STUFF AAAAAAAGH!"
"HRRRRGH GGLGHSHHHHKLG!" It fires off psychic pulses in random directions. Thank goodness they're too incoherent to focus 'em or else getting hit would be a real problem! I do get hit hard enough to knock me away, but an Irib drops down from the ceiling and suffocates the Kigavi. Phew! The Iribs exit the shower room and merge back together. I sit in the locker room for a sec.
"Good job!" I pant. "Gonna check the lockers." Aw heck I didn't flip off the bird. Large Irib throws my arm to their smaller counterpart, who gives it back to me.
Whoa haha, these only LOOK like low-tech lockers. It's actually a facade and when you go to open a locker, it pulls up a holographic interface. It'll teleport items between here and wherever they're actually stored. Noooo they're password-protected... There's always gotta be something in the way!! "You know anything about hacking?"
"I'm afraid not." Man, what a BUMMER. Hey wait, these ones don't have passwords! I found...

An interspecies erotic novel (female Amtsvane and male Neumono). Nice.
A keycard! What fool left this free for the taking?
4 protein bars. I could use a nosh myself.

Not as good of a haul as I'd have liked, but it's better than nothing! At this point I can:
Spend some time helping Irib clear away debris so we can get our hands on some sweet dough
Explore more rooms on this floor
Head up to the next level, where greater challenges await! And have Irib deal with exploration here

>>821309
What's with that tiny heart on the door of that open locker?

>An interspecies erotic novel (female Amtsvane and male Neumono).
Koror?

>4 protein bars. I could use a nosh myself.
Then go ahead and eat one. Also, offer one to Irib.

>What do?
Isn't it obvious? Go get the money!

>>821309
Get the money!

Money money money.

Mooooonay.

Slimes need protein! Take 1 bar for you and 3 for Irib and get to clearing that debris.

...Save the novel for later.

Money. Gotta get that money.
Could be a trap so prepare thine self.

Also you should totally read the summery on the back of that Spicy Interspecies Novel you picked up.

Gotta get the cash, gotta get the dough.

Hey wait a sec...
"Hey Tonzo couldn't you have done something about this infected Kigavi in the shower room?"
"Ah... That must be Korimi..." se sighs. "When the infection took hold, hir psychic signature became... fragmented. Noisy. I couldn't perform a-any... meaningful psychic interactions on hir nervous system. I'm sorry. Have you... is se... you know...?"
"It's noooo problemo. Korimi is uhhhhh" I try to find a tactful word. "nnnnnot... alive..."
"Well. That's. That's good. I'm relieved."
"Great! Hey do you know if there are any more infected folks still kicking about on this level?"
"If you've gotten those three... I don't believe so, but don't get reckless! There could be one still around, or worse yet, one could have come down from the upper level. I dread to think what should happen if one of the possessed ones decides to do that..."
"Then dooon't think about it! Over and out!"

>>821316
>>821446
Probably a love letter! Can't tell though. I can't actually read what it says. I can read the book, but it's in another language. I'll check out that summary later...
In the hallway, I open up a protein bar and have a snack. Mmm, not bad. I offer two to large Irib, who engulfs them and opens the bars inside themself, spits the wrappers into a waste disposal thing, and dissolves the bars. I can SEE it.
"See something you like~?"
"What happens if I say yes?"
"Then I say you have some... diverse interests~"
"Haha! I sure do!" oops I'm still staring, look away Glinp! Focus!

>Get the money!
I was gonna do it eventually. It was only a matter of when!
"So!" I almost clap my hands and rub them together, but one of them is in my inventory instead of my shoulder so it doesn't work as intended. "Uhhh let's see about that debris." I step over thataway to get a better idea of what we're workin' with. Yep, this is impassable. I start moving stuff to the sides of the corridor, but it's tiring work and I only have one arm and leg! Irib helps a lot by bracing me, and lubricating and cushioning large objects. But there's so much! We take a break before getting back to it. FINALLY, after what feels at LEAST like an hour, we've cleared enough that I can just crawl over the top of the debris through a little gap, and open the door to the bridge!

I get 262 krels (since I have to split the findings with Irib)! Not too shabby.

Another Irib tells us that they found a laundry and a rec room, but there are no more survivors or infected folks on this level, and nothing else of interest. I can:
NOT take Irib at their word that there isn't another secret money stash or whatever
See if there's someone on another level that we can communicate with from here (if the stuff works and we can even figure out the controls)
Have Irib push me through the hole in the ceiling and then come up with me
Go up in the elevators like a civilised person

Did they lubricate and cushion any of your large objects?
Fiddle with the controls around here a bit, that seems safe! Then go up through the hole.

Yeah let's try that hole. I wouldn't guess the infected are smart enough to try to stop you from getting out of the elevator but the hole is right here. Can't fight convenience!

Go through the hole.

There's a hole at the bottom of the... ceiling.

I say grab a chance at the hole, but check for superconductors in here. This equipment looks expensive and its pre-fucked.
That just means you don't have to unscrew the panels!

They cushioned most of my body! That's like the biggest part!
We try to do the communication equipment, and it looks like there's nobody who can, or is willing to, respond, aside from Tonzo. But I can already talk to Tonzo. Of course, we could have alerted a demon while doing this, but maybe they didn't notice. They probably would have taken the chance to say something totally hammy if they did.

>>822241
I look for superconductors and I find a tiny amount in one of the non-working console things. I'll bet there's more, but it would take miiiillion years to collect much. It's not worth it. The next level, though, I bet there's more there.

>go through the hole
Irib pushes me up and I don't even have to hoist myself! They practically carry me through the hole, and come right up with me. Actually, we don't seem to be stopping. I think the gravity's fricked in this room!
"This is troubling."
"Yeah I didn't see this coming. Cute of them to put a bigger bridge on top of the regular one though." I'm sure they didn't use bigger circuitry, so the big version of the console where I got the superconductors isn't going to be any better than the one down there. "Shit, there'd better not be giant debris blocking the door outta here."
"Hahah. That would be a bit dismaying."

Geez, this ceiling is REALLY high.

>>822431
>Bigger bridge.
Uhh, guys? Think about it for a sec.

If there's a bigger bridge, doesn't that mean it's for races that're too big to fit in the smaller bridge down below?

Look at the bodies that're in here, they're Amtsvane! You guys better hope they don't start moving all of a sudden, because I don't think Irib is anywhere near big enough to smother these guys like it's been doing to every other thing you've run into here!

Push the big green button!

>>822444
It's big enough to cover their faces. That's pretty much all that's strictly needed. We do have to worry about their limbs, though.

>>822450
But is it big enough to force itself into their mouths and then go into the lungs?

Aww, looks like you might have found the spicy novel's owners.
Wait.
Do you think any of the crew might have their personal locker codes written down? Some of the more forgetful ones might have it on them.

then again, from what has been seen, I don't think they have a very strict or well enforced dress code.


I agree on plan Push the Big Green Button
Just make sure your not hovering over the hole.
Just in case.
Irib should be a great help in microgravity though.

>>822469

The ones without clothing may have some kind of PDA equivalent we should be watching for. Or maybe they've got some kind of implant with the info on it? Regardless of that pushing the big green button seems like the most foolhardy course of action. Let's do it.

>>822469
The novel was prob'ly owned by someone on the lower floor. It's tiny for an Amtsvane!
I guess someone might have their locker code on them... It's only certain species who're likely to wear clothes, though.

>Push the big green button
"Can you help me reach that big green button? I wanna press it." I point to it.
"Do you know what it does?"
"No!"
"...Do you even know if it will do anything?"
"Not a clue! But try not to be over the hole when I press it." Hey look at that, it's the ceiling. Irib sighs and helps me propel myself toward the button. I've gotta say, they've been quite professional for a Slime. I've hardly had my butt groped at all so far!
We hit the button and Irib sticks us to the armrest and takes us to the back of the chair. The room's gravity gets more of a downward pull, but something in the chair starts buzzing and vibrating, and suddenly a bunch of sparks shoot out the bottom!
>-PSHOOOOM!-
"Oh!!"
A gravity panel in one of the walls breaks! I can see the insides of it. Overall, the room's gravity is stronger, but still low.
"I wouldn't press any more buttons."

>>822688
Tell them they can be more unprofessional if they like.

With the better gravity, do a little looking around in the room, what's that red thing by the chair?
If nothing's interesting around, hit the door button.

Duly noted. Pressing random buttons will kill us all. Probably. That being said, from context clues, I think we should fix the gravity here? Don't know how yet so let's try peeking out into the hallway.

>A gravity panel in one of the walls breaks! I can see the insides of it.
Superconductors, ho?

>Tell them they can be more unprofessional if they like.
Yup

>what do
Let's see if we can get the doors open. Those red buttons right next to the door probably control it. And if not, maybe you can force it, or there's probably an emergency manual release under a panel.

>>822688
It might be easier to maneuver around this place if you reattach your other limbs.

Do you think it would be possible for Irib to stick itself into the stab wounds on your unattached limbs to suck out all the blood? Then when you reattach them, your body can replace the blood that was sucked out!

>Overall, the room's gravity is stronger, but still low.
Strong enough that you're not floating and you're actually going down to the floor, right? Then you can jump to move around. Which'll be helpful to get around this big place!

But we'd have to, to get out of here! Let's go for the door buttons next. Can you salvage the broken grav panel?

"I won't press any more buttons. In this room." I wink and wiggle a fingergun at Irib. They roll their eye. "Really though I'll be careful. And we'll have to press the one for the door."
"Yes, the button to open the door is a good exception. I will be the one to press it, when we're ready."

>Tell them they can be more unprofessional if they like.
"Alsoooo don't think I didn't notice those gropes! You can be a little less professional, if you like."
"I haven't decided if I do~" They say that, but then they poke my snoot!

>>822712
Instead of having Irib suck out my limb bloods, I call up Tonzo.
"My arm and leg got punctured a little after we got here. How long until signs of space hoohah infection should show up?"
"Space hoohah." I don't say anything. Tonzo clears hir throat. "If there's no sign by now, you're fine." My limbs aren't showing signs of anything but the damage they sustained, so I thank Tonzo and put 'em back on. Feels good! Aside from the pain, but that didn't go away just because they weren't connected.

>>822705
Heck yeah superconductors! I use my spear to gouge and pry out a decent haul of 'em. Jozi'll be pleased! Heheheh...

>Open the door
Irib splits off a self, which climbs up the wall and opens the door. There's a Miklik!

What up miklik.

From the way he's standing he looks to have full control of himself. Meaning he is either not infected or possessed, OR he's already infected and possessed. It's an assumption since we haven't seen a possessed person so far. Ask what they're doing here, if they've seen anyone else on this level, but be ready for a fight in case they answer with some cheesy demon joke.

>>823245

>Greet the Miklik
I walk right toward ‘em, waving! Gravity feels almost normal now that I'm outside the bridge. I can see where the lifts on the lower floor come up, in the room to my left of the Miklik.
"Hey there pal, what's up?" They squint at me oddly, like they're trying to see something, and then get off the wall and start running away to my right when I get a bit closer! Haha whoa, I've never seen a Miklik tail that long, that's crazy. "Hey where ya goin'!" They glance back.
"Should we follow?" We might be able to catch 'em!

SO I revert to just before Irib opened the door to the Miklik. How should I approach it this time?

Radio the other crew to ask who this is.

>>823599
As soon as the door opens, rush right out and tackle him into the wall he's leaning up against!

Or throw Irib at him and let them pin down the Miklik!

>>823608

Second the creation of a new throwing technique: Fastblob Special. Let Irib know to avoid going over those exposed panels at all costs.


Infected crew we've encountered haven't shown any planning capabilities so this guy could well be possessed. If Tonzo knows anything more about the demon possessed crew, now's the time to tell you.

Well, if he's leading you into traps, he's not crazy. Just malicious. Or at least, he's smarter than the other crazies you met.

Hmm... I'll have to come up with a way to do it that wouldn't make anyone suspicious. I get Tonzo on the line.
"Do you know anything about the possessed crew?"
"Err, let me see now... I can't say what they've gotten up to since we abandoned that level, but last we knew, there was a male Neumono, a Miklik, and a female Amtsvane. There may be others."
"Did the Miklik have a... any identifying mutations?"
"No, but keep in mind that these demons may have modified their hosts, and they may have taken more than one."
"Thanks again!" Hmmmm... I turn to Irib. "if there's someone out there, can you ZOOM over to 'em and pin them to like a wall or something? Make extra sure you don't step on any exposed gravity panels just in case!"
"I can try."
"Could I grab some pieces of you and throw them for an extra advantage?"
"Hahah, I suppose~"
"Arrite, open the door." Irib presses the button, we spot the Miklik, and we both charge! I grab Irib chunks and try to throw 'em! "Yaaagh!" The Miklik bolts, same way as before, only this time we're prepared! My aim's pretty good, but it takes a few throws to calibrate. Aaaand shit, that tail's super quick! They knock the Irib pieces right out of the air!

Keep throwing pieces to occupy his attention while the bits he isn't looking at overwhelm him.

>>823828

Keep throwing Irib pieces, mix the shard of glass in with one so the miklik gives himself a nasty cut deflecting. Then while he's distracted by the pain, have Irib reconstruct around his ankle.

>>823930
Can we have Irib enter the Miklik's body through the cut? That'll make him freak the fuck out so much, he won't notice Glinp approaching him to pin him down!

They start running back behind the room with the elevators, and they're too fast for the Irib pieces to collect on them. But then... "Damn you!" They skid to a stop, because an Irib came out of the back of the elevator room! "You jerks are becoming a real thorn in my side!"

"Yes, you worked very efficiently! UGH." Their body language is really exaggerated and sometimes they bend in ways that shouldn't be possible, even for someone without bones!
"What's your problem with us?" I try not to let my face show that I'm kinda perturbed by those movements.
"It's nothing personal... I'm not supposed to let anyone live!" They come right at me! I doubt they're strong enough to hurt me, EXCEPT for that tail. The tail is a serious problem.

Use Tackle!

He's right in front of a grav plate. Be careful, don't let him force you onto it!

Hey, you needed a distraction? Run at him then before he can attack you turn into an inanimate object. That will be quite the surprise!

>>824392

I agree.

That has to be a pretty wtf situation.
he's already distracted by the fact that the plan was to lead you into a field of traps, then they got cornered. .
This bullshit ought to make them question what the actual fuck. The iribs ought to be able to hold him in place, the only strength the miklik has is that tail. And a deamon. But I guess they can only modifiy the host so far.
You might even be able to threaten them with the actuality of death by smoosh after you transform back.

But that's advanced stuff go for the kill!

>>824392
He wants us to run at him so that he can step to the side, stick his foot out, and trip us into the grav plate!

And I don't think turning into inanimate objects will stop our forward momentum when we initially run at him!

>>824411
That's why he should transform before it's too late. You didn't even suggest an alternative.

>>824386
Rocket punch!

By which I mean, punch him and detach the arm so it goes flying into him.

>>824437
Of course I didn't suggest an alternate! I'm too stupid to think of an alternate!

>>824386

Can you turn detached parts of yourself into an inanimate object? Because I'd take an arm off, fling it at him, and just as he attempts to deflect or dodge it, turn it/yourself into something else, catching him by surprise and knocking him into the grav trap.

It'd help if the thing it becomes is heavier than the arm you detached, but that's up to luck.

Alternatively, don't you still have a small bomb in your inventory? In his face it goes.

>>824565
>Can you turn detached parts of yourself into an inanimate object?
Nope, he already said he can't turn a part of himself into an inanimate object, it has to be all of him.

But he did say that if he uses that power more he can develop it further, so he can do something like that in the future. Unfortunately, we haven't been using that power very much, so I doubt he'll suddenly be able to do that.

>Alternatively, don't you still have a small bomb in your inventory? In his face it goes.
Already used it on the Infected Kigavi in the shower room.

See if you can weave around to the other side of him. He can't use that tail on you if it's going to get smashed in the gravity panel. Or loop it around an arm and run it over another one.

Well you could try throwing some of those weird chemicals at him when you un-transform. Unless he just immediately spears you when you do that.

Hmmm. I wonder, if you rewound and re-did the same thing, would you turn into the same item?

Not worth testing now, since that worked, but depending on when the result is rolled, you could use save-scumming to reroll on random transformations until you get one you want, or you could use a save scum to check what your next transformation will be before you need to use it.

It WILL be pretty awkward when you turn back, so try and put his head in a lock with your legs while you wrangle that tail, mebbe tie it into a pretzel or a lil bow tie.

Floor tile him to death!

You're it the perfect ass I mean tail grabbing position, un-transform an grapple.

>>824630
Do I reeeally want to do that? That stuff'll get on me too!

>>824630
Got the communicator and one protein bar in there.

>Turn back to normal and frisk/grapple the Miklik
I turn into me and TRY to get them into a headlock with my legs! I end up getting kicked in MY head!
"Hello, baaaaby! OOGH!" I try to grab the tail before I do any frisking, and I manage to get its effective range a little lower. Good for Irib, but not helping me immediately.
"GAAH! The Lizardfolk has some kinda bullshit vanishing magic too!" They try to find a place to stab me without getting themself. Luckily most of me is underneath them! Iribs start climbing around on this guy's back to hinder the tail, but I think I'm still gonna get stabbed here, sooner than later. I hear a door open and something BIG starts lumbering toward us from the corridor behind the elevator room! "You fools have missed the forest for the trees! HAH!"

>>824866
Incoming Amtsvane!

>"You fools have missed the forest for the trees! HAH!"
"Well the joke's on you then! There aren't any trees here!"

Maybe you can, with Irib's help, toss the Miklik onto the trapped gravity panel then run away from the big guy coming to wreck you.

Suck on the tail instead. See if you can get the miklik into sensory overload. Or at least bite it off.

>>824866
Headlock them with your legs, and maybe split at the waist to escape?

Redirect the force of his swipes, stab miklik with his own tail. Then gtfo with Irib.

>>824866
"Well whatever that thing is I bet its cute!" try t oloop the tail into itself and knot it

Irib starts dissolving the base of the guy’s tail!
"AAAAHHH! FUUUCK YOUUUU!" They struggle and the tail pulls free of my grip! Just as it seems like it's gonna gouge out my eyeball, Irib eats most of the way through, and severs it! Brutal! Then the backup arrives. It's an Amtsvane, and she's got a weapon of some kind! And she's red! Amtsvane are never red!
>Quip back
"Joke's on you, buddy! That's not a tree, it's a cute Amtsvane!?" FUCK. That's GOOD ENOUGH! I get out from under the crippled Miklik/demon (no need to split; they practically shove me away), who apparently I'm not sure if I want to kill or not. Well, I'd just be killing the body. The demon would be forced back to hell. Uh, probably. I'm not sure how this blood demon thing works, but it's probably like that! My more pressing concern is to get away from the Amtsvane, who is aiming the weapon at the Miklik!?
"WHAT HEY DON'T POINT THAT THING AT ME!" The Amtsvane looks pretty excited!
"I need to kill that Slime, Venesi. Losing you is small potatoes compared to eliminating that threat!" I'm free of the Miklik, and Irib has split off most of themself from Venesi, but they're leaving some there. I'm not sure what this weapon does but it's goddamn huge!

>>825107
It's so obviously a flamethrower that I suspect some kind of subterfuge. Either way, get out of the way of the end he's pointing at you and get close enough to the amtsvane that he can't easily get you in the probably-flamethrower's range.

>>825107
THROW CHEMICALS AT IT

The only way out is under, for both of you!

>>825107
Tell that part of Irib you love htem before they dies a horrible fiery death. hug the shiny amtsvane to reduce its hp so you can throw your balls at it to capture it.

>>825107
Quick, grab his severed tail! You can use it like a whip!

Then all you need to do is whip the Amtsvane until you make a hole in her foot big enough for Irib to crawl into and Irib can eat the Amtsvane's blood to make itself bigger and eat the Amtsvane from the inside out!

Throw chemicals right in front of the impending flame after saving.

Quick! Find some way to disable that giant flame thrower!

I grab the tail and jump away, just as she blasts Venesi with a pillar of flame! Hahaha it's a mundane flamethrower? If that's the case, that thing's gotta be an antique! Or made by an enthusiast. I grab the tail and run at Jamos! Some of Irib joins me.
"NOOOOokghf" Venesi flails and falls to the ground twitching while the flames engulf him.
"HAHAHAHA!!" I toss two of the chemical things at her feet, and they burst into a cloud of vapor! For a split second, I see that it’s highly flammable! Flaming stuff from the flamethrower drips in it and starts an EXPLOSION. Then my bones are crushed when she steps on me to death anyway. Damn! That's a fast reaction for an Amtsvane! I guess the demon thing means I can't count on getting an advantage from that lethargy they’re usually known for! I can't tell how much damage the explosion did because I got smushed too quickly.

...

How far back should I revert to? I'm thinkin' maybe even before we opened the door up here, but any time after that might have good opportunities too. I miiight want to prevent Jamos from getting called in at all.

Ha ha! N-no biggie! We can handle a demon amtsvane and that tail guy, no problem.
Let's revert to before opening the door and just not take the bait at all.

Go back to before the door opened, and the moment it does, Irib Special the communicator off of his belt clip. That way he has no backup, you can deal with him mano a mano.

Revert back to here: >>824622 and then grab the communicator off his belt before he can call for help!

You totally had that guy and Irib managed to sever his tail! Him calling for help is pretty much the only thing that went wrong! So if you can prevent him from making the call, you can stop him from calling in the pyro happy Amtsvane lady!

The demonic Amtsvane considered Irib to be auch a threat that was worth killing her ally. This time you could try to deal with Venesi without Irib help. She might take longer to act if the slime stay far away.
Venesi still need to be death with quickly though. Can you throw a sharp object and save scum until you hit a critical?

>>825555
Highly flammable? Then you should toss the chemicals before she enters the room, then run away. That'll cause an explosion far enough away for you to survive, and quite possibly cripple her.

...then again, now that we know a slime is for some reason a huge threat to them, we could simply take that information and try a different route through the spaceship... well let's at least try to win this fight first.

Y'know, what you were doing might have worked if you had turned into a inanimate object, which probably would have been a floor tile. Then Irib may have been able to get into Jamos via the wound from the explosion and eat her from the inside out. If what you try next doesn't work out then you can try to do this previous order of actions again, just with changing the point where you were crushed.

Anyway, revert back to before the door from the Amtsvane-scale bridge door opened, but after speaking with Tonzo. Jamos said slimes are a threat, most likely because they're immune to the demonic infection, so use that to your advantage. Now that you're sure enough Irib won't be infected by eating the dead infected, ask him if he could eat the Amtsvane corpses on the bridge and either grow really big or split into a bunch of large slimes.

Then whether or not Irib eats those corpses, head back down and look for another way around. You know that Venesi heard your ruckus, so he's expecting someone to be coming through that door. Best not to go the way your opponent is ready for and instead go another way.

>>825571
>irib eating the Amtsvane corpses
This... could work really well. We'd need permission from the captain though.

Speculate with Irib about the possiblity of possessed amtsvane before you go in too. That'll make it take the idea seriously if Venesi lets something slip.

I can try savescumming like that, but I don't want to do the same thing a buncha times unless my chances are good, or I don't have anything more exciting to try.

>>825559
>>825560
>>825583
I go back to just before we opened the door, after Irib agreed to get thrown.
"And if they have a communicator on 'em, you gotta take it so they can't call for backup! A possessed Amtsvane would be real bad!"
"Hmm~ Thinking ahead, I see~"

>>825571
>>825581
I take a deep breath and ask Tonzo...
"Hey so uhhh feel free to shoot this down but... is it okay if Irib eats... some of the corpses here, so's we can take care of the demons better?"
"You're going to need an extremely good reason to convince me that you need that, and even then they could eat no more than half of a given body. I'm willing to compensate you if you manage to remove ALL of the demons and active infected bodies, but if either of you snacks on the corpses without my express permission, you won't get any compensation." I turn to Irib.
"Phew, good thing you didn't snack on any... right?"
"I had considered that something like this might be the case, so I didn't."
"OK we'll let you know if we have a good reason!" Unfortunately, Amtsvane release their poison into their blood when they die, and Irib is not immune to it, so even if we get permission they can’t eat those. "OK, you ready to go? Hit that button!" I've already grabbed some Irib when the door opens, and we run out at Venesi! They do the squinting thing before getting off the wall and heading to my right again. I just can't manage to throw far enough until they slow down to get us with the floor trap, and they still have that tail! This is going a lot like last time! Although my aim is a little better, Irib still isn't getting through...

Suggestion 2017/08/28(Mon)17:41 No. 825773 ID: 22fd47

Distract him by telling him Venesi is a cute name for a miklik. Hopefully Irib can use the opportunity to get that device off his belt. If it works, rush him down and use the glass shard to chop his tail off.

>>825763
Throw your arm at him.

>>825763
>Irib still isn't getting through...
That's because you didn't start getting through until after you gave Irib the glass shard and the miklik cuts himself when he swats the Irib holding it!

So pass Irib the glass shard!

And don't worry, Irib will cut him off if he tries to run behind the elevators!

>>825773
As long as you don't actually use his name!

>>825788
Any distraction would work, but he doesn't know about Glinp's abilities he won't realize we've done this before.

>>825779
Maybe holding the glass shard you could take a swing at the tail when he tries to deflect your throw.

>>Use Venesi's name
It's got promise, but I gotta have an explanation for how I know their name!

>Throw arm, hold shard with thrown arm
I grab some Irib, put the shard inside, and detach my arm and throw it! Venesi goes for the Irib piece, probably thinking I'm gonna throw that, but I slice Venesi's tail blade pretty good when they go to swipe!
"Aaagh, FUCK!" Definitely did more damage this way! Unfortunately...
"Aieeeee!" My arm gets almost sliced in two! Good thing I threw the one that was already damaged! I don't think I'm getting it back this time, though. Not without reverting. "Ahh! Erk! Aghhh!" Crap, he’s cutting it into bits! This sucks! It might not be a bust though. There’s still plenty of experimenting I can do with one arm, and I’ve gotten through tight spots with more parts missing!
