Nature Exploration

[fuckingnature]

Who: You
When: Day 23, all day
Where: The wild yonders
What: We are overdue for some maulings

[ Four rooms, one big open area, and two sets of stairs. We're getting closer to a fully cleared floor, guys! ]

[ Though you may find your attention drawn away from the stairs when you notice that big gaping hole in the building... and the things trying to make their way inside. ]

(( OOC: Please make note of your general direction somewhere in your thread or subject line! And as always, partnering up is the cool/smart thing to do. ))

Oh...well, I'm willing to help you! If you want.

[herpunishment]

I'd be real grateful. Not much use myself, at this kinda thin'. Ya know one of the gods gives gravity powers? That's about all I can do. Ya don't mind havin' ta take the front-lines?

[derpfarmer]

I'm not great at fighting, but I can try.

[herpunishment]

Let's see how it goes.

[ seems pretty unconcerned, despite the fact both people in the party are professing to not much fighting prowess ]

[derpfarmer]

Okay. Which way do you want to go?

[herpunishment]

Any of 'em are fine with me. Place is teemin' with wildlife n'matter which direction, right? But we might wanna avoid the outside, thin's get real big out there.

[derpfarmer]

Yeah, we should stay inside. Maybe one of the rooms? That way there's more space for people coming in.

[herpunishment]

Sure.

[derpfarmer]

All right, let's go!

[derp derp heading thattaway]

[herpunishment]

[ following behind, hands in his suit pockets ]

[fuckingnature]

[ It's the standard fare in this room, except for a series of tall green trees that easily reach the ceiling. But instead of normal branches all of its 'branches' are hanging down, like a weeping willow's, and a number of them have a red and orange spotted 'pitcher' at the end. ]

[ It looks like there's something inside the pitcher too... ]

[derpfarmer]

[yeah he'll go stare into that pitcher like an idiot]

Hey, what's all this?

[herpunishment]

No idea. Want me ta see if I can float that thin' outta there?

[fuckingnature]

[ The rim of the pitcher is edged with jagged looking rows of teeth-like thorns, and the thick gel inside the pitcher is mostly clear with a tint of pink. ]

[ Floating inside is something that looks like... a caterpillar? Or it used to be a caterpillar anyway. ]

[herpunishment]

Looks like thin's goin' in there meat a grisly end!

[derpfarmer]

Yeah...I guess it wouldn't help you out. What do you figure we should do?

[herpunishment]

Well, the heart an' windpipe are inside this thin' right? Can ya open it up, see if there's anythin' useable still in there? If not, ya jus' wanted ta clear out nature, an' plants aren't too hard. Jus' hack an' slash, right? Could finish up in here an' move onta another place. Or not, if ya get tired.

[derpfarmer]

If you think this will work for you...

[going to start hacking at the tree]

[herpunishment]

[ watching, seeing if the trees do anything or if nature clearing today is just going to be an excersize in gardening ]

[fuckingnature]

[ The tree itself is a normal tree! Though a little harder to hack through than most. ]

[ Though get enough hacks in and eventually you shake out a dark-colored snake, only four feet in length and nowhere near as thick as a vineaconda. It has diamond-shaped lumps patterned on its body, bright blue in color, starting from its forehead and running down the length of its body.]

[derpfarmer]

Woah! A snake?

[herpunishment]

Looks like. Think it's poisonous, aggressive? Though we're prob'ly gonna find out that second part real quick.

[fuckingnature]

[ It immediately rears up like a cobra, though it lacks the hood of one, and opens its mouth- that sure is a gob of black goo flying your way Kidale. ]

[derpfarmer]

[Ack, falling on his ass as he tries to get out of the way.]

It spits! It spits.

[fuckingnature]

[ The glob lands on a nearby vine, which begins to sizzle a little. ]
