Imani can make a pretty big item out of the dense fundamite if he doesn't care how sturdy it is. If he makes something about the size of his grappling spike out of it it will probably be almost unbreakable.

Imani decides to hold on to the dense fundamite for now, it might be valuable later.

He hurries after Mipo, who appears to be waiting impatiently.

Unless you think you can knock it down easily, let's continue on.

Continuing to request the dense stuff be used for a sharp utility knife, possibly with a spike on the end for climbing purposes? Can you craft and walk at the same time?

Imani hurries up and follows behind Mipo while trying to stuff the fundamite into his bag. It barely fits! He doesn't think he'll be able to carry much more in the bag with the fundamite there.

Imani needs to concentrate to do any sort of detail with his shaping. He can shape while he moves, but if he doesn't stop and focus on what he's doing the result probably won't be very good!

Imani hurries up behind Mipo, being sure to jump over the patch of cindergrass on the way. He asks why she seems confused.

What's cindergrass, it's like, regular grass or does it have any special properties?

Also there seems to be a piece of wood hanging from some sticky substance in the ceiling, see if you can identify it from here.

278243

>>278220

Cindergrass is a type of grass that grows full of fire essence. If you're very slow and careful you can pick it or walk through it, but if you jostle it roughly it bursts open and sprays out hot cinders. It probably wouldn't cause you any permanent damage unless you fell into a lot of it, but it hurts a lot.

>>278225

The log appears to be stuck up there by some sort of slime.

>"A malgur did that. They can spit out this really sticky slime and make this thread stuff out of it. They use it to make their nests."

Imani isn't sure!
>>
No. 278247 ID: d677cc

Hm.

I wonder. If you could knock the log down and prop it up against the wall, would Mipo be able to get up that way?
>>
No. 278248 ID: f5e4b4

Is there a way to extract some cindergrass without it exploding in your face? Portable, instant fire sounds like a useful thing to have.

Also throw your grapple spear at the log, then pull. Maybe we can get the sticky thing and make a rope out of it.

Before that, ask Mipo to step aside, b4 log to the face.

maybe!

>>278248

You can probably do it, but you've filled your bag with the fundamite and trying to wedge the grass in around it will probably tear the grass.

Unfortunately, when you toss your grappling spike at the log it appears to fall just short! You can't throw it high enough!

No. 278280 ID: f5e4b4

With the fundamite you've found, turn your spear into a hook. That way you can hook the log, and also hook the tree on the ledge.

It will also give us spare inventory space to get the cindergrass.

Hmm. Ask Mipo what her chances would be of killing the bug.

She said that the bugs often don't even fight back when cornered, so killing it shouldn't be much of a problem if we end up needing to. We want to go after that Malgur for its honey, but these trees are pretty flimsy, let's check over to the left to see if there's anything useful.
For the record, our inventory consists of Silly Spiked Palm band, grappling spike, big hunk of normal fundamite, and some dense fundamite. If need be, we could try using some of the fundamite to make our grappling spike a grappling hook in order to get over to the Malgur.
