Make vines grow again. don't stop until they are 5 feet high or something bad happens to me.You grow some dense foliage.
"Hey, F****t. stop groping me or I will f***ing kick your ass to kingdom come." (bleeping provided by Clean Rap Records)
"Ah yes that one is still around... truly I am sorry about that."Hm...there's a spiky halberd near an impaled person. You grab it and scurry back to kill someone...
Go outside and look for a weapon, if there is a really good opportunity for it kill the snickerer.
Ack... That kinda hurt... Ah, it's OK, though, just... let me catch my breath...You head south and grab the Snug Pauldrons. They fit, snugly. A tank you will become.
Y-you seem a lot stronger than me... But maybe we could team up? I have a knack for figuring things out, and since you don't know what your item does... E-either way, we should get out of here. Vines... I don't like the idea of someone controlling vines near me. I know what those things are capable of.
Offer friendship. Either way,leave the building in the least-viney direction.Leave the building and go loot the two corpses of their pauldrons. I will become the tank.
"Rapper plant guy, can you make a 'ladder' of vines off the side of the mountains?"You ask.
"sorry. Misread."[9+2-1] You activate the device and turn into a monkey. You fall out of all your clothing, but keep the monocle, top hat, and rag. [8+1+2-4] You scramble to the top of the building. I'll give you a point of Karma.
Apologize. Exit quickly. Turn self into monkey using shirt-thing. Climb to top of building.
Attempt to discern nature of defensive ability.[3+1] It's some kind of reaction-based thing.
Indeed. Unless you can only find a mission which gets you killed once the hostiles appeared.Just checking since GA made Space Age a lot less monotonous, and waaaay more opportunities to snark.I'm gonna guess from the OP that you don't have galactic adventures?Indeed. I used to, but...I dunno where it went.
Why do you ask?
Niche grabbing time! We should evolve primitive lungs, enough so that we can live out of water for relatively short periods of time before needing it as a supplement. Then, change our muscle structure to allow us to wriggle powerfully, similarly to a lungfish. Change our tentacles so that some are our previous, poison-injecting tentacles, while others are more similar to spades. Re-purpose our electrosense so that we can sense vibrations in the ground. Use this to burrow in safety and locate other creatures and kill them.Why, sure, alright..., and only if we can keep electrosense.
And they're bigger than anything else?Query: What do the Spearfaced thingies eat?Everything we do, including us on occassion
There's just not a lot to Cell Stage.Let me rephrase that.I like watching the progress so it would be nice if you could break it up into updates based on the milestones.[W]e need to figure out cell stage. For instance, is it worth breaking up into multiple updates, and what should I try to do/make for the first one?
Also I would enjoy, personally, if the OP showed a picture of every change you make to the species as we go. Like if you add or change something take a picture and put it into the OP.Suggestion noted and will be acted upon.
