Scouting Sorties: Target Slime

[Flashlight237]

"Well duh!" Rawurrah replied. "It's an animal, not a humanoid..!"

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

Lena wrote down “IS IT A GOOD IDEA TO FIGHT IT? WHAT IF THAT THING ATE THE FIGHTER GIRL?”

[Polyedit2000]

A squelching sound comes near from a different direction from the faint creaks.  No doubt the slime is coming back for a "talk".

[Flashlight237]

"It's coming, isn't it..?" Rawurrah held up her scepter. "I'll make a distraction! You two; run forward and make a sharp left on the first chance you get! I'll catch up!"

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

Sean ran while lena stayed behind “ILL STA WITH YOU, ILL TELL SEAN TO MAKE A SHARP LEFT LIKE YOU SAID.”

[Flashlight237]

"I can handle this, Mystic; just go!"

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

Lena nodded and ran too.

[Flashlight237]

Rawurrah then started preparing a spell. "As for you... Why not pick on somebody your own size..?"

[Polyedit2000]

The slime seemed to compare itself to Rawurrah and, in some bout of self-consciousness, wasted a few seconds to stretch upward before charging at her..

Sean and Leah wound up in a cavity with four smaller slimes.  However, they seemed to be wiggling in place, and all these slimes had a head-like protrusion with hair, all four suggesting a female style.

[Flashlight237]

"Now, taste the might of the Pharaohnic Protector: Horus!" From Rawurrah's staff, a powerful burst of air (think "Boomburst" from Pokémon) burst forth at the slime with the hopes that Rawurrah could send the slime flying far enough to give herself and the party distance from the slime.

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

Lena nudged sean to the side and begun to get the female slimes attention by snapping her fingers.

[Polyedit2000]

The Hyper Slime wobbled from the shockwave but held firm as it continued forward.  


---

The "heads" turned at the noise and began to wiggle more frantically.  Come to think of it, at least one of the hairstyle matched the fighter's missing poster...maybe these were not slimes but the missing party trapped in this gooey substance.

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

Sean put his hand on his chin “is there anything that could scrap this slime off?”

[Flashlight237]

Rawurrah's eyes widened. "It's unaffected!" Rawurrah grunted. "I'll have to hit harder..!" Rawurrah raised her staff. "Sobek, Lord of the Nile, grant me the might of the river!" Rawurrah's spell brought the strength of a crocodile unto herself, buffing her. "Crocodiles have jaws so powerful that they can bite through even the thickest of animal femurs. I should be able to get in a reasonable stalemate with this creature with Sobek's spell, but that's only because of my own natural bulk." Rawurrah then readied her scepter. "If I use my scepter like a prybar, I may have a slim chance at overturning this creature." With the might of Sobek by her side, Rawurrah started to try forcing the slime upwards with her scepter.

[Polyedit2000]

...From what Sean could determine, the cocoons weren't sticky or tasty yet they seem to repel cuts and magic.  The most that he could probably do is carry one of them out, which should somewhat be easy since their body seems to be tucked in fetal in the slime.

---

The Hyper Slime was knocked back by the strong attack, giving Rawurrah some distance.  It does seem that the Hyper Slime wasn't going to run away, once more drudging towards her.

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

Sean made a decision, “Lena carry one of them, and ill carry one too.” They both agreed to carry the lightest ones.

[Flashlight237]

The feathers of Ma'At are in the slime's favor in a 1v1.., Rawurrah thought. How much in its favor will depend on how much time I buy Scruffy and Mystic. I must focus on keeping this thing at bay..! Rawurrah then raised her staff. "Anubis, Judge of the Dead and Preserver of Life, cast thy blessing and curse on the opponent!"

Four small portals appeared in four different directions of the slime, then shot bandages out at the slime in an effort to wrap and restrain the slime.

[Polyedit2000]

The Hyper Slime ate up the bandages, but it technically kept the slime in one place as long as those bandages kept streaming.  Sean and Lena would meet up with Rawurrah with their bounties, and with a quick glance, they could spot the crates that marked the entrance to the original mines in the distance.

[Flashlight237]

"Scruffy, Lena, you're back!" Rawurrah said. "I was able to hold this thing off long enough." Rawurrah then saw the "packages." "Oh? I see you two brought a few captives~ Quick; we must return to the safety of the tavern before we consider freeing them..!"

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

“Got it! But we better hurry!” Sean said, unknowingly leaving his cloak behind.
