>>5966311>NameMeepis
>>5966311Blooming Dandelion
>>5966314>>5966324You are Blooming Dandelion, but are generally known by your street name; Meepis. You, like apparently many others, came in search of a mythical amulet said to grant incredible power, wealth or knowledge. For you, you hope it grants great wealth! You’ve always had to scrap by life due to your unpredictable and disorderly attitude, you’ve been exiled and kicked from villages, inns, even bathrooms… so tis’ not like the dungeon is going to deter you one bit. You’re no stranger to adversity, and after a looong expedition to the mythical place that houses this artifact.You finally walk into the dungeon. There is a door in front of you. The trip was long and arduous so you currently lack a bit of self motivation however.What do now?
>>5966363>Warily check to traps
>>5966363Inspect the room then go through the door
You remember the first thing about esoteric unwelcoming places, they are NEVER kind to strangers! That thrill sparked you up, now you’re a little motivated!
>>5966371>>5966372First things, there’s 2 unassuming rocks on your left and right, you notice that this place is pretty dirty with its soil, it feels rather nice on your vines but it creates some annoying dirt particles if you’re to be hasty.Trying as hard to avoid traps you tiptoe around the corners of the room carefully grabbing all the walls that you can, when you reach the door, you put your head next to it… to hear some muffled but noticeably savage growls, there’s something outside, and it sounds VERY hungry. Before getting time to think more about that situation you keep on grabbing the walls when… the wall moves mechanically to the side! You’ve discovered a hidden passage!
Now... you're no coward, but the secret passage was a pretty good find! Still you think about your next move...Where to?
>>5966492>>5966503Like we would waste an opportunity like thisSince the cockroach is distracted, simply line up a dart to hit it then rush in with the dagger to finish it off before it realizes what is happening.
>>5966503>>5966514I saw that QMGo through the passage!
>>5966514[Thought nobody would see it! Just going to restore it then and assume the passage was chosen][5966492]The passage is pretty narrow but you’re interested in seeing where it leads to. But you spot a rather giant cockroach! It seems to not have noticed your presence or uncaring to it while it is gorging on some green paste that you can only guess is fresh moss of some type. What to do?
>>5966519IMAGE GOES HERE
>>5966519>>5966520kek, my answer will remain the same
>>5966520Use our Opportunist skill to deal more damage to this cockroach while it is distracted!
>>5966523>>5966528You silently take out a dart given your clueless prey. This type of moment… you live for it.[MODIFIERS: [RANGED] OPPORTUNIST + 4 - DEX + 1]>ROLL A 1D5+5

But, if there is no multiple action done then yes.. which in this case there technically was with the dagger follow up so that's on me, apologies] >>5966556HIT FOR 7 HPCOCKROACH HP= -3You flawlessly throw the dart with pin-point accuracy and speed, right down the memory lane of the cockroach, pinning it to the ground and making a nice makeshift kebab of it. [LOST 1 DART]
Happy with your performance you peppily cross down the narrow path and open up slowly to see in your peripheral four dog things glaring and growling at a small passage, if you recall those are Jackals?That growl is the same as the one you heard through the door, they clearly are waiting to ambush anyone unfortunate enough to enter through the main entrance. To your left there’s some money laying on the floor as well as a potion with some green substance, an odd looking plant and a very small crevice that you think you could fit into with some hefty trouble.What now?
>>5966625First, tip toe carefully to where the potion is and inspect it. We don't want to attract attention yet
>>5966622Also , nice animation QM, and questionCan you explain the modifiers applied to the attack here?>>5966553Is it the dart dealing 1 damage + 4 from opportunist then +5 from dex?

>>5966632[Thanks! The dart deals 1d5 of damage, and that's correct you get +4 from Opportunist and +1 from just being really dex savvy]>>5966641[Who knows... you'd have to try it out! Also there's technically nothing directly stopping you from resting wherever you want]
>>5966675What's the stat to damage conversion ratio?
>>5966677[Every 4 of a stat you get a +1 to rolls relating to it, Opportunist is just a flat bonus that changes depending on method.]
>>5966627>>5966634>>5966641You tiptoe around to the potion and inspect it. It has a cap sealing it tight yet there's still a thick smell seeping from it, it smells like... forest? It's got a herby aroma. As for touch, the potion feels lukewarm in your vines.{ GOT 1 POTION [UNIDENTIFIED] [SMELLY] [THICK] [LUKEWARM] }You put away the potion slowly in your knapsack.
What’s next?
>>5966896>Inspect the little treeWe're a literal bundle of vines, have we seen anything like this?
>>5966997SupportTree inspecting time, then we can go inside the crevice
>>5967071Hold on anon, there is some cash on the ground to grab too, and we'll have to decide if we want to grab fruits from the tree. Let's not be too hasty
>>5966997>>5967071You didn’t really pay it much mind, but taking another glance at the plant, this guy’s anthers are sticking out in plain sight… gross.He kind of reminds you of cannabis. But, from pure appearances you can’t really tell what type of effect the pollen that can come out of him would have, if any. A strong physical reaction might stimulate him or cause him to push it out as defense but you wonder if you should meddle.
>>5967080Having now identified the exhibitionist, you remember you have yet to pick up the pence scattered on the floor, or rather just book it to the tight crevice. Loud sniffing echoes through the dungeons' halls.What should you do?
>>5967156Collect the coins then get in the crevice before the jackals wander over
>>5967156>Grab the money>Poke plant with dagger to see if there's a reaction, if not dangerous cut a part and stuff it in the sack....try not to gain the pollen in our pistil or some shit>s q u i s h In the crevice
>>5967156Hey QM, just to be sure we don't gain XP from fighting do we? And what's the damage on our chompers?
>>5967244[You do feel mentally stronger from challenging adversity but... it's most likely placebo. Last you remember the chomp does 1d10 ]
>>5967158>>5967163You scatter to pick up the pence and save them away with utmost finesse. Walking then to the unidentified plant, you decide to poke it with your dagger just to see what type of reaction it’ll have and mayb-FWOOOSHYou get pollen all over your face, ewwww. It thankfully doesn’t seem to be immediately dangerous so you cut a small piece of the bastard and put it VERY CAREFULLY away.
Rolled 3 + 1 (1d3 + 1)Growls are creeping in, so quick on your vine you try squishing head first into the crevice. argh! You're having difficulty fitting your head inside! You press on and manage to pop it in, there’s some slow and firm steps coming closer behind you. Wiggling your body frantically, you are fully inside the crevice now. AuooooOOOOThe high pitched howling rings in your body, and while pushing yourself-[WEAK TO CUTTING]
>>5967344
YOWCH! That stings like hell! A jackal managed to get a cut on your lower half!{LOST 4 HP } After that scratch, you finish crossing the crevice, pop out and stand up, instinctively limping yourself next to the wall. Taking a small breath before looking at your present surroundings, only to see… Huh? Woah is that your MOM?!?
>>5967347Say hello to mom
>>5967353+1Damn that plant was a pervert, you don't shoot your load at people like that
>>5967353>>5967356You cheer up! It’s been a long time since you’ve seen your mother! “HAAAAAALLO MOM! kahkahkah, Iz so gud to see yOU! I KNOW you dind’t want me two leave all tho yrs ago, cuz you woud never! Is everything alright? how’s CHICORY? dmoing“ Your mom sings beautifully “LEEEEEEEAAOooo YOLELEHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIeeeII” Wow!!! Your mom has got that vibrato to her stem! You can even feel the ringing from her powerful voice. Maybe you should ask her how she does it? She also got a loooot taller! Just what has she been up to while you’ve been gone? Suddenly mom gets closer to you! Is she going to hug you? Oh, just how should you respond?
>>5967370Wait a minute. How would mom be in the dungeon? And why is she taller? Could it be that the perverts pollen has hypnotic properties? Don’t know don’t care we should run
>>5967370This can't be mom....STAB if necessary then hide
>>5967375>>5967377…Mom’s baffling transmutation powers are doubtful to say the least, no way she actually did this all natural! Should mom pull something funny you WON’T hesitate to STAB her in her fat face. Though you feel at first that that’s a bit extreme even for you, she’s just showing off to you so she’s asking for it. Hmph, sorry mom but you’ve got business here! “SORRY mom I’ve got to findget this crazy magical amulet that can grante me anything i want and so, and, so, so yeah. Bye catch you later.” you make a lot of unnecessary vine motions while saying this.Mom contorts backwards hearing this. “TREE , IF NOT, FOX, IF TREE, DIRTFOX” she screeches in her loud voice. Whatever mom. You casually bump your face into the wall while walking away. Didn't hurt one bit. Opening your eyes again, things seem… a little less interesting.A bat is eerily close to you. When did that happen? You guess your mom is gone?HP: 12/16 MP:16/16KNAPSACK INVENTORY: Pollen plant - 6 Quivered darts [Damage: 1d5 thrust] [DEX] - 2 Scrolls of smoke - 6 PenceON-HAND: Iron dagger [Damage: 1d6 thrust/cut] [DEX] - Iron buckler [Damage: 1d3 bash [DEX] ] [-1 to -3 to damage on block]ABILITIES: Chomp: Maul on your target for 1d10 [Thrust] .

>>5967488>>5967490You wiggle your arms in a hypnotizing fashion, the rattlesnake jolts back at your squiggly performance, it hisses loudly and ducks. While you were hoping to entrance it, making it stand down works just as well in your favor.

It moves its head to the side when you go in for the dagger hit, merely leaving a somewhat deep cut on it, following your plan of action is the buckler bash in which you almost lose your balance trying to hit the now wary snake! Only managing to bash its chin as it was again trying to evade your attack.HIT FOR 4HPRATTLESNAKE HP = 5 Trying to recover your balance from the scrappy strikes, the rattlesnake saves no moment to lunge at you with its fangs out!
{LOST 1 HP}Ouch! That… didn’t hurt as much as you thought it would! You feel it trying to inject you through your lower vine, that must be poison! But the feeling quickly goes away. Too bad for it. An obnoxious screech essentially hits you in your face! It’s the bat from before, still pursuing you- hey! It’s harassing you!.

>>5967792If possible, duck under the bat to get into the room before turning around and lining up a dart shot right at the snake
>>5967792Fuck it, use our CHOMP on this snake and blitz all our attacks if we can
>>5967792QM, how does the action system work?
>>5967809[You can try to do many actions at once but they could be detered or encumbered by some third party or by yourself. Due to how the dice system works its essentially a mix of segmented real-time.There's really no inherent restrictions or rules for it, so feel free to see what you can get away with]
>>5967827So could we say, try to chomp the snake and stab it, or divert our dagger to the bat if the chomp kills the snake. Our dexterity makes it so we can make multiple attacks without a penalty but how does it work withe bite? Does it function as an auxiliary attack and doesn't have a penalty because it requires MP?
Colorful artwork!
>>5967796Regardless anon, I think using a dart right now would be a waste since we're in melee and they don't do as much damage. They're also limited. I'd be down for using all our melee attacks on the snake to get a breather though.
>>5967832[I see now what you mean, yeah, if the bat doesn't act while you're biting you could be actionable by then and you'll get to decide if you go trough with it if things go that smoothly. Also, good question, since you've got more hand/feet-eye coordination, and the chomp doesn't really use it, it will incur a small penalty.]>>5967869thx m8
>>5967806>>5967796>>5967978These critters aren’t giving you any space! The possibility of peddling them out with darts crosses your mind but you can’t afford to be wasteful, not with them being so up close and personal. Ultimately, you decide to go all out solely on the snake, you’ll enjoy munching on it or making it into a fine paste with your tools! Your attention might divert a bit from mauling it so you won’t be able to put as much finesse as usual to your vine attacks.

>>5968564>>5968565>>5968600>>5968856You consider simply looting the limped dead looking man but its suspiciously fresh state and alluring leftovers leave much doubt in your mind if this thing is truly dead. While you’ve only heard of them in tales and song, this dungeon has shown you to be strange enough to contain such things. Before jamming the scrolls inside your knapsack, you lightly inspect them for any type of oddity, you don’t spot anything out of the ordinary other than them being a little torn and aged. After which you then get close to the presumptive cadaver and with watchful maneuvering scavenge for anything in his ripped knapsack, finding what you presume to be poison tipped green darts and 5 pence. Your small knapsack is getting a bit stuffy. GOT: [5 PENCE] [4 POISON TIPPED DARTS] [2 RED SEALED SCROLL] [1 BLUE SEALED SCROLL]Deciding that even at the state it is in it’d be even worse to leave behind, you delicately snatch the chipped rusty dagger from the stiff grasp of its previous owner. Quickly scraping the wall with it, you figure it’s somewhat serviceable despite being nicked. EQUIPPED: [Rusty dagger - 1d4-1] ON LEFT LOWER VINE [3RD VINE] Noticing the bat paste you made, you figure it’d be a waste to not eat such an exquisite dish made by yours truly!You gather the bat’s scattered remains and eat them. [+1 HP] It’s not terribly filling, but it’s nice. It has a tender texture to it and tastes like a mix of mutton and beef. [Satiation: Satisfied]
You take precaution in making noise and creep over towards the voices you previously heard, whoever these people are, you can’t be sure they’re going to welcome you with open arms. Some soft sobbing is audible, it kind of sounds like that man you heard before, and you are able to determine that it’s coming from above. At a glance in the new environment you spot a packaged ration of hardtack on top of a wooden stool, but being here to see what’s going on;You peer over the wall…
There is a type of even more primitive looking goblin visible. It is wielding a slingshot, some crude leather armor and has a bag holstered. Behind it is an iron cage with a human inside. Both of them have yet to spot you.The dungeon wall is blocking your vision so you can’t really get a good look at what’s beyond without possibly breaking your cover by being in the open.

Your captors are dead.”His voice quivering “Wha- did-oh… I’m next right? Fuck… just… just do it, I just, can’t anymore.” Figures he assumed that about you.“Nono wait, you see uhhh, goblins are hmm-” Whats that word that humans like using? sub? sub-human! “..subhuman. Yes. They are simply big insects to me. It’s like swatting or eating an annoying fly y’know?” you can’t help but notice the puckered squinted face he makes while you’re talking. You exhale some air in slight frustration at the scenario. “Basically, I’m no murderer okay?”“O-okay? Soooo you’re NOT going t-to kill me?” he does some wavy finger motions towards you while backing away as much as he can.“No.” You say bluntly. Hmph. If you wanted to, you think you could make your vines reach inside the small space dividing the metallic bars, so he’s quite oblivious to his real situation
>>5970960>>5971264Regardless you reckon you could get some use out of this human if he starts becoming more willing to cooperate. “Look. Let’s get you free’d up, alright? You know where the key is?”He backs up to the wall. “Uhhh. N-no? You could err, m-maybe lo-… they. They knocked me out cold so I didn’t see where they had it by the time I woke up…” “Alright.” Looks like he doesn’t seem to know. The chest probably has something so you first check on the goblin corpses just incase, turning them over with your vines to see if they had something else on them. The small one still has his bag of rocks tied up, and the heavy one didn’t seem to have anything else on him. Turning back to the chest you kick it a little to hear if it has a lock or something worse on it. Little quick trick you used to do back in the day. Getting a good listen, the chest doesn’t seem to be locked or anything, only containing items of a sort. So you open it and see;A thick iron keyAn Iron shortswordAn Iron buckler An empty small knapsackA reddish fruity smelling potion2 shillings Some kind of wandA slight cold breeze envelopes you after opening the chest. The artifact grabs your attention. Tilting your head to get a good look at it, it has 4 “lines” glowing with a light blue hue on its lower half. There are 3 more lines below it but they don’t have that blue glow the other ones have. If this is some of the stuff that they took from that human, you reckon it could prove better to leave it in your personal possession. The only thing that you immediately grab being the iron key.

However you turn it back and close it again, this time approaching the aloof human. “Look, I want to get you out of the cage, really. But!... If I’m going to, ya’ need to tell me what exactly that wand lookin’ thing is” you say this with utmost sass. “The- Wa? Oo-hohoh! You mean my wand! Y-yes uhh, It’s a magical wand that I bought off the… ehh market! Oh man, I really should’ve used that thing when I had the chance!”He seems to like going on a tangent. “Sureeey’ but, hey-” You do your favorite vine snapping technique “I’m not gettin’ any info.” you say coldly. “Ah- well…” he audibly gulps. “D-did you get a look at it? er-It’s like an explosy ice wand. The sky blue rectangles represent a… magical charge of sorts. You’re supposed to uhhh- thrust it while gripping it… and… it’ll release a huge dangerous explosion of ice in front of you. y-yeah…hopefully they haven’t used it all.” “Hmph. Okay.” You hold your vines to your hip. “How's’ about that red potion?” He scratches the back of his ear “ T-that’s… my… curing potion. It’s supposed to be able to rid disease while healing your insides a nice amount…” That sounds like a mighty fine thing to add to your repertoire, but before doing so you ask him one final thing. “Alrriight. You seem to know your potions, no? How about this one” You take out your unidentified green potion and show it to him;“Tell me what this weird green potion does and you’re out.” He’s making that stupid face again, but then catches himself and frantically stares back at you and the potion. “I-uh, oh, man, m-maybe It’s a regeneration potion? Nanana- i-it’s an intelligence one! Wait-wait m-mayhaps it’s a-” “That’s enough.” you cut his babbling off. This clearly isn’t going anywhere but it was worth a shot in your eyes. “Oh b-but” the glow in his eyes fading. Moving away from him you say “I’ll release you anyways.” He then lets out an exuberant sigh while holding his chest.
You go to the wooden chest, holster the wand and save the potion in your knapsack. From the way he described the potion, you make an internal estimate on how much it could heal you for, should you consume it.GOT: Ice-explosion wand [Damage: ?] [Charges: 4] - Curing potion [Healing: 4-9 HP] [Can get rid of internal ailments] As you approach the door cell he softly speaks, “Haha… that’s… that’s my wand you got there, well-” hearing him, you decide to respond. “Yeap’ consider it my part of the “fee” for the rescue, keheh.” he looks down to the floor “Hahahahaaaa…. haah…” Oh, lighten up. “I only took that. You can take whatever's left.”CLICKHe still is staying a good distance from you but has a light smile on his face. “Ah... Man. Thanks a ton. I-I honestly thought you were- n-no offense! Some… irrational creature if you will” “I’ve’ gotten that, and I think I do it prei’ good too”“Hahaha… yeah…” he scratches his head “Uhh- my name’s Rodney. Rodney Wichman...

>>5972090Well for now it seems like the green potion is at least beneficial but don’t think we should chug it anytime soon>>5972091Ask him what he is going to do now and also how he even got into this situation but regardless give him the short sword and buckler in the chest (he can loot the goblins for their amour) and we can get on our merry way.

>>5972091I'm no man, I'm female vegetable
>>5972113>>5972129>>5972412You move out of the entrance to give him space to go towards the chest.“You’re quite odd, how’d you even get in this situation in the first place?” He doesn’t say or do anything until you eventually do a vine gesture towards the chest. He talks as he starts rummaging through the chest and equipping or saving anything he can. “Well… to make a long story short, I dunno if you heard about the amulet that they say is here, but I was planning on getting it… It’s why I gambled all my money on that wand to make my life easier. I was exploring the lower parts around here and saw a shiny looking potion, cool right? But as soon as I went for it… these goddamn goblins sprinted and just HAMMERED me man!” He makes an exaggerated pummeling motion with his hand. “Like, fuck! I got knocked out, stripped of my shit and thrown into a cage like an animal!” “And well the rest you’d know how it went. They told me their big ugly green boss was going to eat me alive! ALIIVEE! If i’m going to be eaten, let it be dead for the love of god! Even being gutted by some other green guy was starting to seem like a better deal than that!” That wasn’t short at all. “That’s weirdly flattering and oh, ever so sad. But I’m a plant lass, for your information. Maybe even vegetable lass if you guys think of it differently.” “Huh? You’re?- You uh- ah okay, well-” he seems surprised and you hear him mumble some words under his breath while looking away from you. “cerl-don-act-like-wan…” immediately clearing his throat afterwards; “Well, my apologies, la-ahem. Miss Vine. I again tha-” You raise one vine firmly “Hold up.” you hadn’t thought about it before but he could have an idea of what these scrolls you picked up do. “Do you know what these scrolls do?” You take out one red scroll and another blue one to display them to him. “Now now, I’m no mag-” you glare at him before he even finishes. “I- y-yeah let me see…” He holds his hand to his chin while looking at them. “Ain’t that red seal one an identify one? Pretty sure I saw it being sold as that in the magic shop I passed once, of course I didn’t buy it cause they were selling it for like a whole cow! Greedy bastards. I don’t know how exactly it works but it should give you sum m-a-g-i-c-a-l-l-y transfered knowledge over things close to your body.” So an identify scroll? “How’s about the blue one then?” he squints at it “Uhh- I wouldn’t really know, sorry.” How disappointing. You put the scrolls back in your sack.
“Hey wait, do you know where the goblin wearing the breastplate is? That old thing is mine! Gonna need it for my trip back.” they’re of no use to you so you oblige. “Hm, follow me, that thing would be too cumbersome to wear anyways.” you both walk towards the corpses, him seemingly trying to be as loud as possible stomping around like an idiot. You get there and point at the breastplate one. “BLURGH.” sounds like he swallowed something. “Gaah… y-you you did this huh? How… utterly terrifying.” It takes him a while because of his little jumps he’s doing while disrobing the corpse but he gets the armor and puts it on. “Aahh- feels good to be inside this! Again, thank you miss Vine but I shall n-” HOOOOOOOOooouumimimimi… phoOOOobibibibi…That… sounds like somebody trying very badly to snore? And obnoxiously loud too. Pretty much asking for your attention you peer towards where the sound is coming from, cautiously unholstering your buckler as you spot some type of antennaed blue skinned humanoid. It’s wearing a loinclothed robe and laying in an awkward suggestive pose, giving its back to you. “Whoaaa” says Rodney seemingly bewitched by the figure.

>>5972818My first thought is to sneak past whatever that thing is, but Mr. Flatfoot over here will probably alert it with the clap of his breastplate. My second thought was murder in case this was a hostile creature, but the human will just start wigging out over "ethics" and "morals". What to do, what to do...

>>5972831>>5972896>>5972931>>5972943Seeing this strange creature at first sight, your first instincts to swiftly end its course of life or simply avoid it for the moment are voluntarily suppressed. For whatever of the both you’d choose you bet the human would find a way to ruin it somehow. You’d really prefer if he would just go away! Lamenting your situation and being in a dilemma of sorts, you decide to ask the root of your problems himself for some information.“Zztttt, hey.” he seems oblivious to your low whispers. “ZSSSST. hey!” he finally looks in your direction. “hey. what the hell is that thing?” He looks back again at the creature. “Hah, I have no idea. But I sure am willing to find out!” he pushes his chest upwards and takes a strut towards the thing, swinging his arms in an exaggerated fashion. Oh boy. “wait- before you go tell me how many charges this wand h-” you are cut off by him “Had four last time I used it. Anyways, I'm busy!” When did this rashness of his come to be? Clanging around like a buffoon with his breastplate, the humanoid's antennae twitch and it stops laying in its pose, lifting itself from the ground. Looks like a female. She eerily turns around with what’d you say is a devilish smile on her bug eyed face. “Heeeeey~” she says, while waving her fingers.
Flatfoot here doesn’t seem to respond but stops dead in his tracks when confronted. “Hehe~ What brings you here~” still no response from him, you even feeling the intensity of her stare despite not being the recipient. She starts to slowly get closer to him. What to do, if at all?

>>5978553>>5978555>>5978587>>5978806>>5979376These sound distractions are starting to get on your nerves… you feel like there might be some interesting stuff you’ve missed from being so in the motions since meeting that human.In fact, the human’s loud footsteps accompanied by iron clanging steer further away from your hearing. Bah. Even as a dedicated meatshield, this meek guy is more trouble than he’s worth. At least he proved useful by letting you… “borrow” this great artifact of harmonious doomsday. Regardless, you feel like you must investigate what exactly is going on now. This whistling… You really hope it’s not a woodsman, the ones you’ve met, while you personally liked their attitude, are known to be… pretty non-amiable whenever interacting with outsiders and be extremely territorial. What could one be doing here if so? You sneak & peek around the corner to see if you can get a glance of whatever’s making this noise. And see… no living entity. Nothing outside of a wooden ornamented chest laying there. The coast looking clear, you take advantage to look around your area and of interest, can only spot the lone naked dried corpse of a human inside a nearby cubbyhole to your left. The noise stopped but you felt like it was further away than in your vicinity.What do you do or go to from this?

>>5981494>>5981508>>5981510You come up with a devious plan of handling the present event, a fleeting thought crosses your mind for blasting the fiend with your artifact as a byproduct of the pressure, but resourcefulness is very key to getting by in any type of situation! You would rather see figuratively the type of guts this creature has before deciding to decimate it like that. The Orc steadfastly approaches you and you scramble to get out a scroll of smoke just in time from your sack, you hold in your breath knowing the true power of the foggy smokescreen being able to inhibit breathing. You let the scroll go and do it’s thing, holding back your body against the wall before extending your vines and propelling yourself past the Orc!
Rolled 1 - 2 (1d20 - 2)Tumbling to the floor you half-stand up and lay low before setting up your next attack in this obscured field as your cloak envelopes you in the misty shadows you’ve created. Your eyes squinting to damage them at least as possible, you can see the orc coughing while still holding his ground. Turning his weapon with precaution. “Hakgh! Gakh! Hya’ fukhen plhant!” He's having some trouble breathing with the smoke. You find that purely thrilling.That chainmail he has on him… it’s not gonna let you rend his flesh as easily, you’re going to have to impale him if you were to attack him directly.

You start by bashing the Orc's stomach, leaving him gasping for air, then after plunging your iron dagger near the side of the orc's collarbone, in which he winces in pain!

>>5989070You have a magnificent scheme. Since they’re so piglike, you figure, why not treat them as such? Wonderful. You kick the orc to turn him over on his belly, and using two vines to hold your dagger to give it more raw force, with a refined yet savage technique you apply enough power to be able to rip apart a bit the chainmail, it seems like this armor is a bit brittle. It being no use to you, you throw away the chainmail leaving the full stomach exposed. Running your dagger smoothly along the orc’s stomach, blood and organs start to slowly seep out, as if squirming. Accompanying it is a squeal from the orc himself, looks like they’re not so different from hogs after all. He starts convulsing back and forth, and once you finish the whole stomach haphazardly you figured you might as well make it stop and are curious as to how it would be to split open a body top to bottom. You slide your dagger throughout the flesh of the orc in one swoop, making him open up like an oyster. Blood, guts, organs and glory… It's truly fascinating to see how these creatures' inner workings look every time for you, you just can’t get enough of that crimson pink mix. Matter of fact all this work has left you hungry! While not as good as lizard in your opinion, you liked pig a lot back in the day, this will be a good reunion. [HIT FOR 28 HP!] [ORC HP= -22][[SADIST]][6 HAVE BEEN REAPED][1 HAS BEEN BRUTALIZED]
You gulp the whole upper body of the gutted orc and start to munch on it. Hmmm. It’s got a savory pork and beef taste with pork beating it by a mile. The guts might be your favorite part with how squishy and soft they are, but overall you like the taste of this! It reminds you of the meat stews your mother would make for mass days. You now wish you had bothered to learn that technique from her. [+3 HP] [Satiation: Pretty full]
You spit out the tusks and throw out some bones and flesh you didn’t want to chew. Phew! That was maybe a little too satisfying. But you feel a bit better in terms of physical exertion so it’s whatever. You stretch out your vines in relief and pump yourself up a bit. A good meal and a good kill? What a steal! Anyways, you decide it’s about time you pressed on. You recall wanting to revisit the room from whence you came out from a crevice that one time.

>>5989188>>5989193You want to loot that fancy stash right in front of you but, oof. You’re really full and still a little tired. Might as well take a quick rest before setting your sights on things.

[RESTED FOR HALF AN HOUR][+1 HP ] [ + 11 MP] [HP AND MP FULLY RESTORED] [LOST SATIATION] [LOST TIRED] As you finally dedicate some time to resting you try to think about what really is it that you would do with the amulet? If you had all the wealth you wanted what would you really use it for? You’ve given it some thought beforehand but never stopped to think about it thoroughly.Perhaps you could buy a fancy abode and settle down?… no… you’ve been shunned by the public, sure. But the nomadic lifestyle that you’ve had to develop from it has grown on you, the fleeting but strong relationships you’ve developed have left an impact on you. Perhaps “Meepis” will live on longer post-amulet. Heh.
>>5989141>>5989166>>5989706Anyways you’ve had enough time to gather your thoughts. Your belly back into its natural state and your vines ready to lunge, you launch yourself back into standing up and get ready to see what’s inside the chest. You do your trademarked kick to the chest to get a good idea of what’s inside and if it’s locked. And hear… barely something. It sounds like it hardly has anything, only being able to hear what sounds like some coins jingling and a type of crumbly sound. Opening the chest, you find a note and some money in it. It’s shaky handwriting reads as follows. “ hav transferd al the stuf on to mein hall rember to mov chet later “ It is signed by… “Gorock”. You turn it around to see if it has anything written behind and get nothing. Well that’s useless. Looks like you can’t always strike gold on these chests, usually the good ones are locked up for a reason. Not like that would stop you. You stash the cash on your sack and move on. [GOT 6 PENCE]Being in sight of the tunnel you turn towards it to get at least a glance at what comes after. You see a really fading warm orange hued light and a wooden door all the way at the back. Not being any of your business at the moment, you brush it off and prepare to go back to the crevice.
>>5989188>>5989193>>5989706There’s a jackal corpse alongside the now mauled cadaver of the bloodshot human you borrowed some equipment from. Looks like the jackal choked on something by the fumes on its mouth. You silently look over the tunnel by the crevice and see a trail of blood on the distant floor leading down as well as a torn bat corpse. Not convinced and curious, you move a little to be able to get a good angle to peer into the next room. There’s one of those gross pollen plants again! You reckon they’re the cause behind your weird hallucination you experienced before. Next to him are the bitten corpses of a giant rat, a cockroach, and a torn up one of a robed goblin. And finally you think you see as well a blue colored potion vial and two jars enveloped with some writing that you can’t read from this distance they’ve got some type of liquid on them.Some of the soil here is fertile but it looks like it was stomped by someone judging by the amount of footprints left, there’s some shoe footprints and animal ones, animal ones being the most prevalent. An animal like whimpering and panting can be softly heard from the direction where there seems to be the trail of fresher looking blood. Curious. What will you undertake now?

>>5989822Put some rocks in our bag, not too many as to fill it. Could be useful. Go around the blood and carefully approach the corpses to check out that potion and the jars. Don't touch this plant I don't want hallucinations again
Oh yeah by the way QM, what is the average vinestalker temperament? Do we know something about this?
>>5989825support
>>5989827[The average nature of a Vinestalker, from what you remember of those history lessons you would half-heartedly pay any attention to, alongside initially living in a place littered with them yourself. Was that of a respectful hunter, stalking their prey and ending its life with swift mercy initially vinestalkers were known for merciless hunting but that changed with the race relations age. Excessive torture and brutal killings were looked down upon and considered dishonorful & disrespectful to nature and life itself. You’ve always been very atypical to that aspect in that sense, not really relating to the whole mercy purpose. Or perhaps you could argue you are more like your ancestors?]
>>5990554Well, let's start by using what we have really. Use an identify scroll on the green potion.
>>5989825>>5989844You walk towards the rocks in the corners and stash them as neatly as you can, these hefty things could prove useful at some point. Turning your gaze towards the loot, gah. It’s that plant… you are not taking any chances with it! That was one too many hallucinogenic experiences for you. Crawling over towards the corpses with precious looking items clinging yourself to the floor as to make as large of a distance and height as you can between you and that guy. You arrive next to the items and give them a good look. The jar’s cover has a red cross on it, and its tag reads in small letters: “Restorative for bruising & scratches - Produced by Gamma’s”. So some type of ointment? Interesting. Not being able to tell what’s going on with the potion, you get it closer to you, and… It smells super strong! Ugwaaa! What a stench! You noticed the potion as well feels a bit cool on your vines and the liquid inside is a bit more swirly than the norm. Instinctively you attempt to stash them, but, dratz!Your knapsack is full as can be! Anything more and it would all just spill out and fall.
[INVENTORY: Your knapsack has [6.0] worth of space inside it. All of it is divided by 6 blocks of [1.0]. Currently [A-3] is the one with [0.16]’s worth of space left.] KNAPSACK INVENTORY [FULL]:Pollen plant [0.1]5 Quivered darts [0.3] {5 = 1.5}3 Poisoned darts [0.3] {3 = 0.9}1 Scroll of smoke [0.2]17 Pence [0.020] {17 = 0.34}Curing potion [0.8]Green potion [0.8]2 Identify scrolls [0.2] {2 = 0.4}1 Blue scroll [0.2]2 Rocks [0.5] {2 = 1.0}TOTAL SPACE USED = 5.84SPACE LEFT = 0.16You look back at the items on your vine as well as the floor and reckon the two jars would be about [0.4] each and the potion [0.8].Looks like you’re going to have to do some inventory culling or reorganization.What’s your verdict on the situation?
>>5990563Use our identify scrolls on the potions. We really have nothing else to identify
>>5990565There is also the blue scroll that needs identification>>5990563Either of those corpses good to eat? I kind of want to get a bit of revenge for that guy attacking us and not even having the decency to say sorry.
>>5990583Well yes, but that we can probably point at the enemy I think. Potions we have to drink
>>5990563Also honestly drop one of the rocks. These things take quite a lot of space and I think only one is enough for now.
>>5990587+1
>>5990587+1 to dropping rocks Also we need a bigger sack soon
>>5990587+1>>5990600Make one from the skin of our foes
>>5990584Well if we are going to use both of them we might as well identify the scroll rather than wasting a second one on identifying a already identified by the first scroll potion for no reasonBesides not all scrolls are offensive some just improve things or teleport things or even identify things.
>>5990587Also +1 (Also I realize I misread your message and now realize you meant the potion we have and the potion we are trying to pick up but I still think identifying the scroll isn't a bad idea)
>>5990587>>5990592>>5990600>>5990624>>5991543>>5990583You look towards the corpses lying on the ground and wonder if you should devour them for sport, they might give you a good supply of sustenance while you’re on your way to unexplored terrain. You usually didn’t check for the safety of eating corpses due to your high resistance to any natural or unnatural venoms most wilderness would have.But this dungeon being so puzzling in its nature, doubt circles your mind. You’ll leave the eating pending, but don’t see any immediate reason for them being unsafe to eat other than it’s kind of gross something already had their go at it. Khyah… This sack of yours is really showing its weight and lack of space with these rocks you put in it. Who even needs that much of these things? Not you! That’s for sure. You take out and lay down one of the rocks in your sack to make space for more shiny looking, less heavy things. [TOOK OUT 1 ROCK -[0.5] ] Perhaps you could outright create a bigger knapsack with some makeshift leather made out of your foes skins? You know that it’s quite the lengthy process despite never getting into leatherwork yourself. Regardless, the preposition lingers in you.It’s about time you got some use of those identify scrolls you’ve been carrying around. Multiple thoughts surge your mind about what to identify, should you identify that one scroll you got, or mayhaps the potions? Hmmmm. First you should see how these identify scrolls work anyways.
You carefully unseal the scroll and it shines blindingly on you. A flash of pure white fills your sight, then fading to complete darkness. You hear unintelligible soft whispers as small bright lights with what look like small flimsy appendages attached to their circle body surround your everywhere, approaching, observing. They get closer to you, circling you. They start whispering again and you can understand them now. It sounds like multiple people, varying in pitch, tone and cadence are talking as one. All sounding distantly familiar yet unrecognizable. “highbrow. we bestow upon you our enlightenment. it will let you understand things from an intricate point of view. the knowledge that you desire upon something. you will have to touch them with your palm to gain access to their current state. use it wisely, highbrow.” [LOST 1 IDENTIFY SCROLL]
>>5990565>>5991543The lights start circling you again and fly above into nothingness. Your regular vision returns and you can see your previous surroundings again. That was weird. You get a funny feeling on your upper vines, they feel like they’ve been surged with some type of power within and are emitting a fading light. Somehow you just recognize that if you were to touch something right about now with intent and force you’d gain intrinsicate knowledge over it, but as soon as it is acquired the feeling will fade on every single powered appendage of yours.How should you go about identifying?
