That was until a week ago, when the food stopped coming. The creature waited, and waited, but no corpses, no agonizing or panicking Gorks fell down the pit to satisfy its hunger. And it was awfully quiet out there. Too quiet.

The creature waited for another three days, until the hunger became stronger than the fear of being punished. The morning light beckons it, but will it gather the strength to climb up and find out what happened to its masters? Should he be cautious or not?

The creature has never been in the outside world since they threw it into the pit when it was too young to remember. It doesn't know what to do.

CLIMB YOUR WAY TO FREEDOM

Climb up. And caution is always a good thing, unless there is no time to be careful; You have time here.

Climb out. Hug anyone who stops you.

Ascend

yeah little beast, you have no reason to rush. climb out and look around with caution.

For to long they have caged you in this hole. It's time for them to pay the price in flesh and marrow. It's time for the world to remember why monsters are feared. RISE UP.

Whatever did away with the Gorks is probably gone after three days, but it is best to be cautious.

>You have time here.
No, you do not have time, unless you like starving. Get up the damn hole.

The creature finds enough courage to creep its way up the hole, and overcomes its fears enough to peek out.

The sunlight is blinding and a bit painful, but it also feels invigorating. There's no sight of the masters, and it's awfully quiet out here.

Anyway, we should expect the BAG and check the BOWL for anything left in there.

Also, we probably want to take that torch if we can dislodge it. A magical torch of not burning out seems like it would be useful. (Defacing altars sometimes springs traps, but I think we are the trap.)

The creature impulses itself out of the hole, and the first thing it does is absorb the nearby bone and bag. It's able to digest them without problems, and the bone soothes its hunger for the moment. The bag isn't really tasty, though. It kind of tastes like metal. A shame the creature doesn't know yet the concept of bags and how to open them. Whatever was inside that one, is gone now.

The creature wiggles softly under the sunlight, realizing that this is the beginning of a new life. Of the real life, even. And it doesn't even have a name. Before exploring further, that task should be taken care of.

The creature needs a NAME.
What should it be?

>>314338
What? Name? Pfft. You don't need one of those. Where did you even come up with that?

you are MECHI

I call you Gorki

We don't want to eat the BLOOD as it might be useful if we acquire some KNOWLEDGE any time soon.

A storm of thoughts and ideas assault the creature's minds, even asking itself why would it need a name, and where did that idea come from anyways? But after all, it decides to stick to the first name that came to its mind. Mechi.

Well, what next? Oh yeah, eat everything! Mechi absorbs the wood in the fireplace. It's not really tasty and barely soothed its hunger.

The blue torch looks menacing and mesmerizing at the same time. It's beautiful, but just looking at it Mechi feels like it's not safe to be anywhere near it.

The red stuff on the wall? Of course Mechi doesn't know how to read that, they're merely random splashes on the wall for it. The gooey creature tries to suck the blood, but it's been dry for a long time. No way to scrap it out unless he takes a chunk of the wall with it. And after all these years stuck inside a pit in a cave, he's had enough of munching on rocks (or rather, eroding them).

Mechi peeks out and immediately backs off to the other side of the room, blinded by the sun. Two hours later, when it get used to the intense sunlight, it peeks through the door again.

Mechi has never seen the village before, but it could hear it from the pit. There was always the noise of people talking loudly, tools, metal against metal. But now the silence was complete, and there was not a single person out there.

Mechi experiments with its body, realizing that, to digest stuff, it has to absorb them into the darker, heavier cores inside its form. So, it could carry some items as long as he can keep them away from the big, purple blobs.

The goo monster picks up the case, not really knowing why. But it felt like a smart thing to do. And that feels kind of good.

Mechi also notices that flattening itself to cover more space isn't that efficient at all. Covering more surface spreads the acidic cores. So they corrode more area, but they also do it slower.

Mechi eats some more grass. It guesses that it can survive off this stuff... if it ate every inch of grass in the valley, that is. Seriously, this stuff is like eating air.

>>315126

No way, soil is gross! Years of life inside a hole tell you that.

>>315137

Mechi has no idea! It still feels pretty hungry and weak. The creature should try to find some real food if it wants to survive to discover its potential.

>>315139

The mat smells of blood and... something else Mechi can't identify. Other than that, it doesn't look particularly tasty.

You can climb even near-vertical surfaces, correct? Well let's go see if there's anything decent to eat in any of the other cave dwellings.

Mechi climbs up the hill and slides towards the closest cave, peeking through the entrance.

Uh oh. It seems that Mechi isn't the only one with an interest for empty caves. The intruders don't smell like Gorks, and they don't look very friendly either.

Try hiding and then if they are hostile, ambush and devour.

they will probably try to attack you with their hands. which you will eat.

Really. Hasn't it been established by now that Mechi can't get sufficient sustenance from random things like rocks and plant matter? I mean, maybe some fruit would work, but we pretty much need to eat some sort of animals. Animals like those guys. But I do suggest getting in the bucket. Are you strong enough to pick up the axe at all from within the bucket?

The axe's handle is wood, eat if need be, but really I'm not too sure these are those kind of things, I think they make attack with claws and teeth

If we eat the the only visible weapon they have is the hammer, which shouldn't do much harm to a blob.

Mechi (which from now on I'm gonna refer as a "she", even when her sexuality is probably a bit more complicated than that) quickly hides inside the steel bucket, before the angry-looking creatures can react.

She could easily reach for the axe, but I'm afraid her current form is too weak to grab it, less alone wield it.

The tiny cyclops snarl at Mechi with hostility, but from a safe distance. They show caution and just throw rocks at her from the other side of the cave.

Yep, that's a good plan. Slime snail your way over to them. Maybe detour towards the axe and dissolve the handle a bit so they can't use it, but then go towards them. Then you can jump out at them when they try to lift it, or just nibble at their feet until they do.

and if you can cling to the bucket, you can let one of them lift you along with the bucket and drop on their head for maximum damage.

Mechi shifts her mass back and forth until the bucket falls over. Now, with this quality piece of armor, she feels safe forever. Slowly, like a battle tank, she slides over the axe, dissolving the handle, to make sure the little monsters can't use it.

Just as she's about to slide towards the cyclops at the other side of the cave, the one hanging from the ceiling drops on the bucket, stabbing it repeatedly with a small bone knife. The bucket is holding up pretty well against the attack, and even when the knife manages to pierce through it, it's not long enough to reach Mechi's cores. But the constant bumping on the bucket is getting annoying.

The other creep grabs the hammer but doesn't join the brawl. He seems to be waiting for a good opportunity to strike.

As it's been said previously, Mechi is too weak to grab the tiny cyclops, but she can easily entangle him with her tendrils, then knock over the bucket, making him lose his balance and fall down. Mechi slides over him, absorbing his body.

The other monster, obviously horrified of his friend's fate, panics and runs away, taking the hammer with him. But Mechi is too busy enjoying her first decent (if only a bit noisy) meal in weeks to care about that!

Once she finishes absorbing the cyclops, she feels much better, stronger and more solid.
Mechi should now be able to move faster, do some basic shapeshifting, and grab and wield objects (not too heavy, though). If she keeps eating healthily, she'll become more powerful and control her mass and form better.

Mechi follows the trail of blood as the little village disappears between the mountains behind her, and she slowly slides into the forest. She almost forgets about the blood as she contemplates in ecstasy all the new forms and colors that surround her, the smell, the trees, the sound of the wild animals.

She snaps off that trance, gods know after how long, just in time to notice that the trail of blood leaves the dirt path and enters deeper in the woods, towards a small cave in a nearby hill. Should she follow it?

first reach into the little hole in the tree and see if it has a small animal in it. then follow blood.

Blood means that something is injured, which means it makes an easier meal. Unless of course something else has it. Go off anyway, you'll either get a meal or meet some kind of predator. It won't eat you, though, because you don't look like you taste very good, or are indeed even possible to eat.

Mechi peeks outside, hidden in the shadows of the cave. There are two creatures talking out there, and Mechi recognizes them as humans. The gorks used threw a few humans in the pit sometimes; they don't taste bad.

But the amazing thing is that suddenly Mechi can understand what they say. She hasn't spoken or been taught any language in her short life, but she can understand what they say perfectly. Mechi listens in amazement.

"...incredible. How could someone get so far with so many arrows stickin out of his back? I tell you, the guy looked like a pincushion, yet outran the entire fuckin' company!"

"Eh, gorks are tough fuckers." --The other human replies. "And what do you expect when they hire smelly gnolls with their cheap ass bows to do the job? Now, these beauties are something different. They'll turn that coward into a fine red mist with a couple of shots before he has time to turn around."

"Yeah, well, he's probably agonizing if not dead anyways. The blood leads to that cave over there."

Uh oh. They're walking towards the cave where Mechi is hidden.

hide in bucket

...shit. dive into the cave. check for ambush spots.

OH SHIT. HUMAN GANGSTERS. They want the PURPLE BALL inside you, and they'll kill you for it. HIDE IN BUCKET IN THE BACK OF THE CAVE. If they look inside it, grab their face and pull them in, to stop them from shouting. They're BAD MEN.

>>317511
Be very careful Mechi; they have ANTI-BUCKET weaponry.

>>317511
Leave the bucket, hug the ceiling, find a crack to stuff the glowing part of you in. By the time they realise you're not just slick lichen you'll hopefully be able to get the drop on them.

>>317524

don't you dare leave that bucket behind, Mechi.

>>317524
sounds good plan

See if you can sneak out of the cave in time. If not, then use the bucket as a decoy and come back for it.

Mechi sneaks back inside the cave, leaving the bucket on the ground, to catch their attention, then climbs up the wall and sticks to the ceiling, with her new glowing stone hiding inside a crack.

One of the humans carefully walks in.

"What the... there's nobody inside. And the fuckin' blood trail ends here. How is that possible? ... Is that a bucket?"

The voice of the other human comes from outside, confused.

"A bucket?"

"I don't like this." --says the one inside the cave. "Wait outside and stay on your toes, I'm gonna take a closer look at this thing."

>>317589

drop down and try to engulf his head and his weapon to prevent him from making sounds as you devour him voraciously.

wait until he is near the bucket. then drop on his head and melt it enough to kill him. then slither back to your hiding spot and leave the body for now. when the other guy comes in to check what is going on melt his head too. then eat both bodies.

When you drop down and devour him, save the cigarette intact. Because there will be NOTHING more BOSS than a purple all-devouring slime smoking a cigarette.

>>317589
Don't engulf his head first thing, it will allow him to struggle. Snap his neck and then drag his body into you.

>>317589
Stay put to avoid getting shot by the very alert person outside.

>>317597
...Make it so.

But in all truth, I recommend staying put for now. The Very Alert Man Outside has a gun. That is bad. Wait. If we consume the Bumbling Fool in The Cave, we would have HIS gun. THAT would be boss. If you must kill him, same the doohickey he's holding, as it shall be useful. And if you DO kill him, chop his skull open with an axe first. THAT'LL stop him struggling.

But yes. Wait in the Shadows.

on the one hand, the method of killing both of them is awesome...
on the other hand we could actually QUESTION them now that we can speak, then eat them when done.

So if you can hit them in the head hard enough to knock out... then when they wake up with you sitting on top and threatening to eat them if they don't tell you everything. About the gork, about the stone, etc. Then when you get everything out of them... THAT is when you eat them :P

>>317589
If we drop down on this guy, we are going to get blown to bits by his partner. Instead, let's go for the partner first.

>>317640

we should eat one of them first to show the other one we're not fucking around.

I guess whether we jump him now or not depends on whether we're in the second guy's line of sight or not. if we aren't, kill this bitch now. otherwise, lie in wait until one of them is by himself and within our range.

Mechi waits until the thug walks closer to the bucket, then drops on his head, attempting to silence and consume him. Unfortunately, the man manages to let out a scream before the goo covers his face.

"AAARRHAHHHGGH..."

The goo mutes him and starts doing her corrosive work, but the acid isn't quick enough to kill him in the act, and the man is pretty strong, Mechi needing of all her strength to keep him from struggling and tossing her off.

"What was that? Are you ok? I'm coming in!" yells the human outside the cave.

To make things worse, the first human sticks his gun in Mechi's body, and in his agonizing madness, he seems to be desperate enough to fire it.

>>317692
pull his hand so that the gun comes out of you on the other side

DO NOT MELT HIS SKIN. Instead, enter him via his orifices and consume his innards, then wear him as a suit and use it to ambush his friend.

Probably too late for such a suggestion but it would've been wicked cool.

>>317695
dude! crazy! do that!

If you can focus your corrosion melt off his hand or shift your body so the gun shoots outside of you at least.

yeah morph so the very end of the gun is outside of you. then after he is dead leap off and get back up the wall.
also his face is already half melted. we cant wear his skin.

point his gun towards his friend. he's blind, he'a in too much pain to think, he's about to shoot.

Try to focus on disabling the gun. See if you can mess up the mechanisms inside of it or prevent the man from pulling the trigger.

>>317692
PICK UP THE GUN. POINT GUN AT ENTRANCE. FIRE GUN.

Can you jump down and land in his mouth? The very alert one outside probably can't see too well into the cave. If you can move quickly enough, drop down into the cave guy's mouth and burrow straight for his spinal column, try to sever that. Your body mass should prevent him from screaming long enough to kill him before he discharges his weapon. If you move quickly enough, the guy outside won't be able to see it, you dark blur you.

Anyway, after he's dead, hide on the ceiling again.

>>317703
If you can, do. Either way make a clear path for the barrel.

You could just twist the rotation of your goopy body real fast to snap his neck if you think taking control of his corpse is too farfetched.

Mechi shifts her weight and slides into the body of the thug without much effort, even doing it before he has time to shoot his gun. She does a quick job, the guy is pretty much dead at this point, the body stumbling in its last spasms before collapsing.

The other human rushes into the cave.

"Derek, what's happen... what the hell is wrong with you!?"

"Something wonderful."
Go over there and give her a kiss.

say "RUN, ! CAN'T HOLD IT BACK MUCH LONGER! RUN BEFORE IT GETS YOU TOO!!"

"I WAS ENLIGHTENED. YOU TOO SHALL SOON SERVE THE ELDER GODS. IA IA CTHULHU FHTAGN!"

pretend to fall down, so she will run to help him in concern. when she does, that's when you nab her.
This time aim for capture alive over kill. that means grab her hand and get rid of the gun, avoid digestion.

Fall toward her, and go for the face when she inspects the body. Kill her quick too because she still has a damn gun and is delicious.

Yeah give out a little "help", let Derek's body fall over fall over and wait for a chance to pounce. Go for the hand holding the weapon so you won't take damage.

See if you can imitate the sounds they're making, producing such an effect as the words others have listed, or, if you need more time to set yourself up as a trap, have the body fall face down while you mutter "trap" or something. She'll probably think you're wounded and put down the gun, kneel down over you, and then roll you over. That's when you get her.

Mechi tries to vocalize and mimic the voice of the dead thug, muttering something about a trap and help. And she can't really control the body, just make it fumble and collapse forward.

But the girl seems to be of the cautious, and maybe even paranoid kind, because instead of trying to help out the fallen man, she steps back, aiming the gun at the thug's body.

"Yeah, no way. I don't know what's going on here, but I ain't THAT stupid. So whoever is possessing Derek's body or whatever, you better start talking. And if you move again, we'll find out if ghosts can survive a bullet to the face."

>>318038
>>318038
Exit from the belly, point the gun at her.

do nothing. just wait.

>>318038
Sit still and quiet. She'll eventually either have to leave or try to tend to him, and either avoids us getting shot.

"bullet to the face"
Move your important bits to his legs. Try to grab the gun, when she shoots him in the face or body, collapse and don't move until she turns to leave. Then jump her.

If you can, say something to the effect of "I'm sorry everything's trying to hurt me I just want to be left alone but I keep having to defend myself" to see if you can get a sympathetic response from her.

>>318038
He wished to harm us, and paid the ultimate price. Now he belongs to us. We doubt you wish to make the same mistake.

I agree about sitting still and not doing anything while Mechi's vitals are tucked somewhere unlikely to be shot through in case she does try to kill us.

Don't talk or even try. Best to shift your valuable parts, like your core, to places she's not likely to shoot. Like his feet or arms or something. She'd probably try to shoot him in the head or torso

>>318166
Best plan. And after she shoots, start dissolving the body in randomly growing areas. If we can do this right, it'll look like after she killed the host, it just self destructed into a slowly spreading pool of solid miasma.

Alternatively, after she shoots, she gets closer, and we then grab at her ankles.

wait a minute what are we thinking?! THOSE ARE SINGLE SHOOTERS!
Once she's wasted the shot she'll retreat to reload, leaving only a brief gap to lunge forward and claim her legs.

And then, perhaps, we could pump her for some information? Civilization is looking like a tasty meal now, and we lack a direction...

Heh. If she's gonna shoot the face, don't be at the face. Then grab the gun with a tentacle and shoot her with it.

Mechi remains silent and slides back into the legs of the already dead thug. But this won't do for long, because she will soon corrode through the body and clothes, and be exposed.

The other human doesn't get any closer, and stays at a safe distance from the body, gun pointing at it.

"Come on, I know that you can talk. And I know you're trying to pull off something. A friendly warning, don't underestimate me, it might be the last thing you'll ever do. So start answering. Who are you, and what did you do with the Gork?"

"gork brought shiny ball to me, hid it under me, i woke up, he had pretty arrows, i took them to make myself pretty. i look pretty right? your friend lift my up, try take orb, i take him."

>>318444
I'm a little apprehensive about telling her you have the orb, and about pretending your the bucket. At this range she could probably tell where the voice was coming from.

I'm sort of leaning towards just telling her you ate the gork and your name is Mechi.

>Single shot gun

>>318443
rapidly raise the top half of the body by pushing on from below his abdomen, she will fire at the head or chest. Then immediately jump towards her before she can load another shot.

"Ate Gork body. Gork imprison me long time. Just learn to talk your language. Very bad at talking. Desire freedom. Killed friend from inside because big threat, also very dumb, naive, and tasty, but mostly threat."

The gork? ...yeah there's really no explanation for a missing body with a blood trail leading here, aside from "I ate him." Mentioning that the arrows were kinda prickly may make her think you are in the bucket, though...

Ask her why she's so willing to shoot her partner. He could be alive...

I can't see any reason to believe those are single-shot weapons.

Flow into the low points of and space below the body and try not to touch the upper parts of the carcass, if you can't stop melting everything, then. He's got a convient cloak on top and I still think your best bet is to force her to move first.

>>318455
Let me revise this a bit, to better fit our limited vocabulary:

Mechi decides to try this new thing, speaking.

"I eat Gork." That sounded pretty good for a first time, in her modest opinion. It even sounded a bit feminine. As feminine as a gurgling voice can be.

The girl seems to laugh for a moment, before speaking with an amused tone of voice. "You don't say? So uncooperative. Oh well, I don't like using this, but you leave me no choice."

There's soft clicking noise, and then a ghostly red glow comes out of the female's hood. There's a small pause, while the girl stays in place, still aiming at the corpse and staying at a safe distance. Mechi wouldn't be able to leap so far.

The girl suddenly giggles. "Oh, you're just a slime. Now it all makes sense. But it's the first time I see one of your kind being able to talk." The girl makes a brief, thoughtful pause, before adding, almost to herself. "But you swallowed the gem, after all. Interesting... Tell me, do you have a name? And, why did you kill my friend here?"

>>318567
"Guns scare me."

"you want gem, kill me, take it, i kill first"

The Gem lets me talk, you killed the gork, you want to take gem.

"Mechi. He wanted the shiny thing in me, and everyone keeps wanting to hurt me."

>>318567
"Your weapons disturb me, and I figured you'd kill me since you killed everyone else for this gem. That, and I wanted his cigarette."

"Take off hood. Please. It freaking me out."

he smelled good.

Let's not say our name, that gives her power over us, seeing as she's apparently magical in nature.

"Seemed like the right thing to do at the time, really. You don't seem particularly bothered, though. I think the world I'd pick is 'intrigued.' Tell me, what's your business, here?"

Let's be an articulate slime, yeah?

>>318568
It's succinct, I'll give it that.

"He threat. Eat threats, eat tasty animals, eat unused things, eat corpses, Gorks are exception. Always eat Gorks, threat or no threat. Hungry or no hungry. Kill all Gorks"

"Name... name pointless. Weakness." Lie, lie like a fiend Mechi.

Mechi hasn't received any knowledge other than her ability to understand what the human said and be able to reply to her. She can't even think of particular words or build sentences, she is just able articulate what she wants to communicate.

Other than that, nothing, she only knows of what she's seen and experienced so far.

But anyways, now that she's feeling fully renovated after that meal, she can go and keep exploring. Or maybe she could try and shapeshift into something specific.

See if you can shapeshift into something like one of those people you just saw. I'm sure you'd be less feared if you looked like a lady.

Alright, with a bit of effort, Mechi manages to compress her body and shift her shape into the closest to an humanoid form she's able to get, choosing the female human as a model.

As she starts morphing, something in her mind starts telling her how a human should be. Just like the way she learned to speak, she just knows it.

Well, it could be worse. The face (or lack of) would need a bit of work. Also she's pretty sure (don't ask her how) that humans have something on their heads called hair, but she didn't really got the concept. Any suggestions, about hair, or her general form?

Also, she thinks she could change color if she wanted. Is purple fine, or should we try something different?

Now we need to find some means to safely wear clothing.

Remember that hood thing the woman was wearing? Do that.

Ah crap, she's gonna wind up looking like Tali

As for hair I have no idea. Can you create materials in your body? Like spiders create silk? If you could do something like that and push it out of your head I think it would look pretty good.

Is that bucket huge or are you small? I think it's the latter rather than the former...

Anyway, try active camuoflage! How about the colours of the cave wall?

>>319468
And that's supposed to be a bad thing?

Stay purple. Purple is the best color. And maybe grow several of some kind of thick but tapering "hair" appendages to about neck length. But definitely stay purple.

Purple is the best color. It's a combination of RED and BLUE, the OTHER best colors. Therefore, it rocks.

certain materials are immune to acid dissolving them.

Let's please not give her dreadlocks. But some kind of hair would be nice. Shoulder length, wavy, luxuriously maintained and decadent to touch...

>>319449
Get back in your protective bucket before your pendulous, squishy form gets damaged.

Can you do two different colors at once? Try an outer layer of brown, like leather, with a hood, so that you can stay mysterious and disguised. Inner layer can be flesh-colored, but it doesn't need to be too precise if you make your hood big enough.

>>319499
shoulder length hair is top tier
I suggest adapting a human-ish skin color. It's not that exotic or exciting but you can blend in better.

Stay purple. Straight, shoulder-length hair seems ideal. Make sure it can't cover your eye/sensing things, though.

Let's... hmm. I still like the idea of keeping that bucket as armor. I suppose it does limit our ability to dodge now, and against any decent weapons it won't be very useful.

Mechi stays purple, and forms a hood similar to the thug's over her head. She also forms long tendrils under it, that fall on her shoulders. She guesses that this isn't too bad for starters, and she can always change to anything else later, as long as she's well fed.

>>319472

Indeed, Mechi can blend with the colors of her surroundings, but for now she'd rather stick to "default" colors, until she needs to blend in.

Also the cube is a rather large one, and Mechi isn't too big herself. In her current form she isn't going to be able to use it as a helmet.

okay that is adora-sexy with a hint of badass. A+
now, let's head on out.

Let's cheese it. Also, remember: while storing your Core in your head makes it easier to dodge, it also increases your fragility.

Anyway, let's teach you to fish, sing, dance, and get money from strangers. Trust us, they'll love you. Long as you don't melt their skin off, anyway.

That's absolutely perfect, nice job.
We can leave our bucket here, perhaps to return some day, but always remembering our first true friend.
Let's head out and try going down the road into town, and try out this fancy new body on the locals.

Oh goodness, with a look like that you might be able to pull a Water-Elemental look (if you were to change to Blue)... and as purple you could pass for some kind of sorceress, especially if you just kind of flow forward across the ground.

Anyway, our ultimate goal now is to make that bitch pay for making us feel vulnerable.

If she keeps following the path to the left (east), she'll go deeper through the mountains.

May Vilar never notice your shadow.

And the rest of the note is completely unintelligible to Mechi. Weird symbols all over it.

Mechi's control over her acidic cores is still clumsy at best. Juggling trying to avoid burning between her inventory AND the corpse would've ended up poorly.

the weird symbols, what do they look like? (weee, we are gonna learn MAGIC!)

memorize the symbols so if you ever somehow need to you can make it again, then eat it. also, take out the purple box and try to open it. perhaps now you can. and head back to the pit cave and see the symbols on the wall in blood.

If Mechi eats more, will she get stronger/bigger?

agreed about memorizing the gylph, but we should take this scroll with us. maybe we'll find a way to use it.

shit, learning magic is pretty cool too. maybe there's more to being a sentient slime than just getting bigger. I guess I'm as okay with seeking civilization as I am with hunting in the forest.

I think finding civilization would be a good idea. Maybe we can make some friends!

You guys are too wide-eyed and optimistic. Right now, we should hunt. We have no form of currency, anyway, and you need that in civilization. Hunt. Also, keep on the look out for sky pirates.

>>320519
And the best place to hunt for delicious meat is the run-down parts of civilization, not mountains.

Take note if you can't remember the glyph.

Mechi does her best to memorize the arcane symbols on the piece of paper, and takes it with her once she's finished.

Then she opens the purple box she found on the grass earlier. It contains a rather strange medallion, made of silver, with a large crystal in the midle.

Now Mechi is still uncertain about where to go next, so it's time to decide. Should she go deeper into the woods? Follow the path to the east, to the mountains? Or follow to the west, towards civilization?

west

west.

Hwest

>>320697
Equip medallion, go west.

People will probably be hostile towards Mechi. I say go east, hunt for a while and get stronger.

>>320742
Well, we've taken a humanoid form, so we probably won't look like some regular monster. From the lady's reaction, most slimes probably aren't as smart as us and probably wouldn't act like us, so as long as we just act calmly people probably won't be at least openly hostile towards us. The people in town are probably used to dealing with other races, so being merely different shouldn't be a problem.

>>320894
Yeah, no. We still appear slimey, and pretty much every species has a natural dislike of slimey things, even the most ignorant under-a-rock child would agree. Besides, we still have no clothes to wear, which is necessary to be accepted anywhere in civilization.
We need strength. Go hunt.

look there are some simple things that need to be done to allow for safe interaction with people:
You need to get to a size similer to a human, so that you can better blend in.
You need clothes. Clothes are a sign of intelligence and will make it less likely that people will attack you on sight. You'll also need to talk, but thats pretty much covered. Basically the plan is to make it clear to others that you are a person, and not just some mindless monster.
