Us and Druid backline, so we can shoot before going CQC and relay Bull>Kuni frontline, Bull and Silk guerilla and archering, Druid backline using kelp-weaving ability to trip up slugsquisher>Talk to Kuni From the sound of it, the Slugsquisher is a crab. So making bombs filled with its kind is probably not a good idea. You dismiss the plan and spend a bit of timing talking to your Party members. Firstly, you talk to everybody at once, and discuss the positioning.
You can't quite decide on a perfect plan. Either Bull or Kuni will be up front. You and the Druid will be giving rear/mid support, but you'll run out of arrows eventually. You'll have to swap with Bull when that happens. You let them know that in battle, you all will probably have to shake things up depending on what happens, but there's at least the outline of a plan.
Then you turn towards Kuni. You let her know your inference, about her being able to see things that haven't happened yet.
"Really? That explains the trails. So, they're the future... Wow, that ability is useful after all!"
Neither of you can figure out what the other one does, though. 'Confluence of Fate', was it?
>ask druid if there is anything here we should take with us>ask druid the specifics of his healing ability"There's nothing here that would be of use, no. We kept it held back with numbers. No need for tools. As for my healing: I can grant a blessing onto a Slug, which activates when they're sufficiently injured. It then heals them for a decent amount. I have seven charges of this, on top of my weaving. Since you killed everybody who I had the blessings sitting on... I'm fully stocked."
>can cerata arrows be reused?They cannot, unfortunately. When you poke at the arrows in the bodies, you find that they're just plain pieces of cerata. They're only useful/special at the time of firing.
>ask druid the size and speed of slugsquisher and anything about its abilities we should know"It's many times the size and speed of a slug, with armour that stops it from taking any real harm. We've been unable to ever kill it. Usually, if we bother it enough, it retreats. Or clambers back beyond the drop-off. That's the best case scenario, for it won't return for many seasons after."
You ask him to elaborate on its abilities.
"Abilities? Well, we'd better thank our lucky stars that it has none. If it ate a mote, it would be too formidable to be allowed to exist."
>talk to teal slugFinally, you return to the same slug who's been wandering around. Seems like she made it all the way here, with the Druid's guards dead. The Leafy Sheep slug doesn't look very happy about his Grove being invaded, but he can't do anything about it now.
>"Hey there."As usual, she ignores you and munches on the dead slug. Man, one day... One day she'll see the appeal of Siloë Larson Urinor Gabroch.
