(And yeah if they want to separate their RP to avoid clutter that's what this is for. Or anyone else who ends up doing their own thang.)

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--Amber and the snake have SO MUCH FUN without you guys--

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
(All the fun)

(Okay guys don't clutter their chatroom :P)

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
Malc coils smugly around her human's shoulders. "Very well, my trusssty companion. Onward, towardsss sssweet, sssweet eksssperienssse!"

She pauses.

"And... erm... you wouldn't happen to have any... erm...  ssspesssiesss-appropriate food on you, would you? I haven't had a bite sssinssse I got here."

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--she digs around and pulls out 'Pet food' item. It just seems to be a generic ball of something and holds it up

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"It'sss not a rat and I can actually eat it," she says flatly. "I'll take it."

She takes the ball gingerly in her mouth, and- "OUFFCH!"

...spits it to the ground!

"It'sss rock-hard! How am I sssupposssed to chew thisss?"

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She goes "You're a snake, you don't chew.. you... swallow."

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
Malc stares flatly at the ranger.

"...oh."

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--she picks up the food again. And strokes her comfortingly.

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
Malc gently takes the ball of feed once more and, with obvious discomfort, begins to swallow it whole.

She manages it, slowly, and soon is hanging limply - and quietly- around the ranger's shoulders.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--Fang is pretty much a non-entity it seems. He follows and does some idle animations and things like that--

--she strokes over the snake, even though she doesn't feel it, it's being nice, right?

('Amber' she doesn't feel it)

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
Malc just mutters "...we should get moving."

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She moves, as it was written. "You seem like you've had it rough."

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"Thisss game isss - wasss - my ssstresss relief. I came here to relaksss and unwind. Now I'm ssstuck here, ssslithering around and eating ratsss whole."

"And thisss ssssssssstupid hissssssssss won't sssssssssssssstop!"

Vulptor 03/27/2019
The path ahead seems to pass through the fossilized skeleton of some enormous creature. Scenic!

Kyrio 03/27/2019
(nice )

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
She sighs. "So yes. The othersss may be enjoying themsssselvesss, but I wanted thisss to be my essscape, not another ordeal."

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--she looks around. "I hope I'm not going to fight one of these." She looks at the snake, and hugs a piece. "I'll help how I can!"

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"They're a late-zone bosss," Malc remarks. "Thisss isss jussst a teassser. Nothing to worry about."

(I would like to add Tempt Fate to my skill list.)

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--she looks at her menu. "If I get you to level 20, I can make you a um... Cobra, Blade Tail or Young Hydra."

(Summon bigger fish)

Vulptor 03/27/2019
A pod falls off of some vegetation curled around a high-up rib. As it strikes the ground, it explodes into a cloud of black powder, blocking out the sun and extinguishing any other light source.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--she looks up and readies her bow. "Is this supposed to happen?"

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
(Work happened here, and it looks like now is a good pause for Airyuu too.)

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"No," Malc hisses tersely, rattle raised, "it'sss not."

Vulptor 03/27/2019
It's hard to see amid the darkness, but there's definitely the sound of -something- moving. Some -things- moving. (brb myself, migrating)

Vulptor 03/27/2019
(back for when RL stuff is done for y'all) (edited)

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
(I'm here! Kinda!)

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--Amber goes "Fang, defense." and the wolf moves into 'attack anything that threatens Amber' stance.--

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"Ssso thisss isss the part where I mention I wasss an apothecary before all thisss," Malc whispers, eyes scanning her surroundings.

Vulptor 03/27/2019
A vine sweeps along the ground, attempting to tangle the party's feet.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--Fang goes "Bork bork!" and pounces at the vine. Amber readies her bow then goes "Ah!" and falls on her tush as vines wrap at her

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
Malc makes an odd sound, like she's... disappointed? "Don't. Ssstand. In the fire," she hisses, leaping from Amber's shoulders and lashing at the vines with her fangs.

Vulptor 03/27/2019
The vine is pretty sturdy, resisting Fang's pounce, and manages to tie Amber's legs, but "Kaa"'s venom causes it to writhe and wither...

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--she pulls out a knife to cut at it. "How was I supposed to expect this to happen!"

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"Attacksss are alwaysss telegraphed! Look for a pattern!"

Vulptor 03/27/2019
As if on cue, there's a rumbling sound from above, some dust particles falling.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She rolls to all fours and scrambles out of the way. "Fang, come!"

Vulptor 03/27/2019
Good call, as... --something- large and rustley crashes to the ground where she was.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She stands up, standing and aiming an arrow--

Kyrio 03/27/2019
(Are you fighting Smash U's Piranha Plant?)

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
(Back from dinner!)

Airyuu 03/27/2019
(Rat?)

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
(...)

(I don't have to save you.)

...and as Amber knocks her arrow, Malc darts upward, lashing out at... the arrow's tip?

"Consssider thisss a buff!" she hisses.

Sickly green poison coats the arrow's tip!

Vulptor 03/27/2019
The arrow flies true, striking the beast(?), which howls a movement is heard from the surroundings again

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"That either worked or ssseriousssly pisssed it off!"

Vulptor 03/27/2019
Perhaps both? The darkness seems to begin to lift, but another, faster vine is whipping at the party now

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She lets the arrow fly at the... shape of whatever it is, and dodges thevine this time because she knows it's coming. Her wolf isn't that smart and gets smacked though--

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"Tendrilsss!" Malc hisses. "Have your mutt move behind it, then recall it around the other ssside!"

Vulptor 03/27/2019
The second arrow bounces off a thicker part of the... ah, it seems to be some sort of plant.

A massive flower bulb, several vine... root? tendrils sprouting from the bottom.

Oh and teeth instead of petals.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She goes "Fang, go around back." "Bork!" the wolf runs around that way. She digs in her satchel and tosses [Poison Bottle] at the bulb.

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"Now, call it back! Quickly!"

Malc darts up Amber's leg and back onto her shoulders, her sinuous body tense.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She goes "Fang, return." and the wolf dashes forwards.

Vulptor 03/27/2019
The poison bottle smashes against the bulb, the plant withering on contact. Both vines lash out against the party in a last-ditch attack, before Fang tears through the decaying bulb like tissue paper.

The... corpse? Lies on the ground.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--Amber offers "Is it dead?"

Vulptor 03/27/2019
It certainly looks dead. Then again, if it was, it should have poofed into some loot by now- or at least triggered a cutsc- Ahh, there, see, it's getting back up again. Ew, really sickly, decayed colors, though, and crimson streaks and thorns are running along its tendrils now- ...well.

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"Adaptive enemiesss aren't sssupppsssed to show up until level 16..."

Malc leans over and eyes amber curiously.

"How much do you value that mutt?"

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--she goes "He's my first pet! But if he dies I can revive him!" Fang peeks up at them. "Bork."

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"Good. Okay. Have him attack, then we run."

She glances at the rejuvenating plant.

"Fassst."

Vulptor 03/27/2019
"Rejuvenating" is a debatable term. It certainly looks worse for wear.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She frowns 'Okay... Fang, attack!" the dog runs at the plant.

Vulptor 03/27/2019
Fang runs at the beast, biting... ...at the knobby base of the roots, not penetrating very far. A tendril whips at the wolf, knocking it 12 meters away and leaving a wicked poison-burn mark.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--Amber is running with her snake. 'cause she's the... boss?--

Vulptor 03/27/2019
The Chrysanthemaw screeches and whips a thorny vine at the fleeing party, but seems unable to itself leave the skeleton area.

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"No!" Malc hisses. "The other way! Passst the plant, or thisss wasss all pointlesss!"

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She skids and goes running that way. Fang uses Wolf Claw and leaps on the tree.

Vulptor 03/27/2019
(tree?)

Airyuu 03/27/2019
(PLant?)

Vulptor 03/27/2019
(ooh, lucky roll Fang)

As Fang dives into the monster, it tears through the tissue with nearly as much ease as before. Seems this phase was much more offensive than defensive. The monster gives one last scream, drenching the wolf in venom. POOF! The enemy explodes, leaving five Rose Teeth and a collapsed Fang at 5hp.

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
Malc's jaw hangs open... or maybe a little dislocated?

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She goes "... yay fang!  Oh no, he's almost dead and poisoned." She scoots over that way and fiddles around for an antidote.

Vulptor 03/27/2019
4hp

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
Malc eyes the poisoned pup quizzically.

"Got any ssspare moonlily leavesss?"

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She crouches and uses the antidote on Fang. "I don't.. usually keep ingrediant stuff, I sell it."

Vulptor 03/27/2019
Fang is stable at 3hp

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
She hums thoughtfully.

"A piessse of the creature'sss petalsss should do. It hasss the adaptation property."

Vulptor 03/27/2019
Amber gets a nice chunk of EXP; a bit under half a bar. Marc's share probably scales a bit higher due to her lower level.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
(perks of being a pet! She's part of Amber, so the XP isn't really 'split')

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"It can invert the effect of another ingredient - turn a poissson, for eksssample, into a regeneration potion."

Malc smiles and bares her fangs.

Vulptor 03/27/2019
(More just noting that the same amount of EXP looks bigger on a smaller levelup bar :P)

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--she picks up the fang things "What about these?"

Vulptor 03/27/2019
Those seem to be new with the update.

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
Another thoughts hum.

"Never ssseen thossse before. Let me look."

Malc leans in, tongue flicking experimentally over the curious barbs.

Vulptor 03/27/2019
The Rose Teeth do not move, but Malc feels something between a chill and an ache when her tongue makes contact with one. They seem unwise to handle with bare skin.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She goes "Maybe you shouldn't lick those."

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"Ech. Sssorry. Refleksss."

"Jussst tear off a few chunkss of the petal and get sssome of my venom in a flasssk. If we can cook it up, we should have ourssselvesss a nissse batch of regeneration potionsss."

Vulptor 03/27/2019
"(Aha, found you!)" Dalim calls from above.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She looks at Fang and plunks her butt down. "Let me see..." she looks up "Huh? Who is it?"

Vulptor 03/27/2019
The Kicking Bird alights, wincing at Fang's state. "...ouch."

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"Oh joy. The Kentucky Fried Kickbokssser isss back."

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--she goes "Ah, the friendly one, hey again." She holds up a vial. Offers it to the snake

Vulptor 03/27/2019
"That would make a good t-shirt." Dalim looks around, before passing a potion vial from the town to Amber. "...I felt you should keep this in case your UI disappears on you. What happened here?"

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
Malc scoops up a freshly fallen leaf from the ground and slips it over the vial's opening with Amber's help, sinking a fang into the improvised membrane.

After a minute or two, the phial has filled with sickly green venom.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--Since tehy aren't in the village, but in the 'game world' alchemy works the way Malc is used to. Amber peeks up. "Um... a giant flower tried to kill us."

Vulptor 03/27/2019
"...o k."

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"Alright, combine the venom with the petal fragmentsss. Sssee what we get."

Kyrio 03/27/2019
(I'm sorry I know it's not accurate but I can't imagine you two as anything other than Viper and Crane from Kung Fu Panda)

Vulptor 03/27/2019
(pfft)

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
She glances at the other potion. "...and that... thing... isss an option of lassst resssort only. Don't touch it unlesss you have no other choissse."

Vulptor 03/27/2019
"I doubt it would even work if you don't need it, so... what she said."

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She drops the petals into the venom "Like this?" She glances over "Huh, what's that?"

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"That little potion - or one like it - isss the reassson I'm currently a limblesss reptile the game thinksss isss a mob."

"Ditto for bird brain here, and I'll wager that fighter we met by now asss well."

Vulptor 03/27/2019
"He's a lizard, yup."

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"Called it."

The potion swirls and flashes, and soon settles on a new, bright purple hue!

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--she looks at the potion she was brought. And sticks it in her satchel, then looks back to her alchemizing.

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
Malc makes an odd, breathy sound. "...I can't whissstle," she mutters.

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She makes a use on Fang. "Hope this works right."

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"But anyway. That isss very nissse. Would sssell for a pretty penny on the auction houssse."

Vulptor 03/27/2019
Dalim chirps instead.

Fang immediately recovers about 10hp, with an aftereffect icon appearing above it.

16hp

17hp

...

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--she smiles at the snake "thank you!"

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"You can thank me by taking asss much of that petal with usss asss we can carry," Malc replies with a smile, watching Fang's health bar skyrocket.

Vulptor 03/27/2019
"...I can carry a little and cut a lot," the bird offers. "...but I guess we can't take it to the city."

Airyuu 03/27/2019
--She collects things and puts them in her inventory, her satchel is bigger on the inside. "So this wasn't supposed to happen, huh? Things have changed with the latest update."

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
"There are other townsss," Malc points out. "They have auction housssesss too. We get there, sssell sssome of thessse..."

You can practically see the dollar signs in the snake's eyes.

Vulptor 03/27/2019
"I'll have to assume you know the racket, then."

Malc Modnar 03/27/2019
(I need to sleep)

Vulptor 03/27/2019
(probably a good spot to wrap up this end for the night anyways)

Airyuu 03/27/2019
(yes, lettus wrap everything up)
