>>5958431Oh, forgot to note, Bandits also aggressively seek to rob targets.I should also note you guys are welcome to be more specific in your implementation for some silly Dwarf Fortress style unexpected interaction with rules, was my intent with this QuestThough not necessary, y'all go at your own pace

I hope this thread is not dead already
>>5958453>Create Slime Merging where if two unmerged slimes meet up they merge into a stronger and or combine elements.One small step for @, but a great step towards slime girls! With that in mind, dump a bandit into a huddle of slimes to see what happens, if nothing else, the bandit’s agony would be amusing enough to make it worthwhile.
