>>5250386>We wanted to come and talk with you. They didn't even wanted to negotiate or open pass. Maybe you can instore such kind of rule on the next awaken ones? We would have been eager to help you with the slugsquisher problem. Hell, even now I'm ready to answer any call to help you with this problem."Dead Slugs tell no tales. But not one came to me to announce that there were guests for me to consider receiving. I did not teach them to be this foolish. I would not have imparted my skill onto them otherwise. I do not believe, for a moment, that they would be so hasty as to strike first."
>>5250427>>5250475>Point out that all of his weed-ass minions were no match to us and two... regular slugs. He surely doesn't want to make the mistake of getting another 3-4 of them to get squashed again. Just... just give us the motes and we will drown that..."Your ability... I have not seen it. But to defeat that many of them, with two useless companions... It would have to be one that counteracts mine, yes? One that-"
"Hey!"
"What did you just say?"
"-could overcome the healing buff. With that much capacity to dish out harm, you would likely be able to defeat me. But immediately, Slugsquisher would be able to enter the Grove, and you would not stand a chance on your own."
>Wait, who the fuck is this slugsquisher?You decide to finally ask what the deal with this thing is. Surely a monster can't be that bad.
"Slugsquisher? It's a beast that has plagued the sea for generations. I've held it back several times myself. The Druid who came before me picked me as his protege, and I watched him get sliced apart by it. It's a devilish fiend, whose armour is nigh impossible for Slugs to breach. We can only keep it at bay, and push it back, but none have managed to kill it."
He examines you and your crew.
"You'll go drown it if I hand you the mote, you say? I wonder..."
The Druid begins moving off his sunny patch. He motions to the little cave beneath him.
"I suppose you're right. A single mote can give a single Slug awareness. And there's no guarantee they would have useful abilities. All of my companions were plain Slugs, with nothing of their own. But you? You have two thinking companions already. Come, select one to claim it. A second mote ought to give them strength, and perhaps they'll have something that will be of use against the Slugsquisher."
