What is the flaw made of... is tunneling an option?

If not; send smaller children to attempt to sneak out one at a time. Then follow myself.

FUCK YEAH SLUG QUEST

>>6595957
Go on your date and make sweet, sweet love to your woman. I demand it.
>>6595953
Apparently someone wanted this back. So, I decided to start again, now that I have got an external keyboard for my laptop.

Wait until the human bends down to inspect his dog's corpse, then jump on his back and drive your harpoon into the base of his skull, severing his spine and hopefully killing him instantly.

>>6595958
Is this course of action agreed?

FUCK YEAR SLUGQUEEESST

God this is such an asshole move, trying to murder a hobo while he's mourning his faithful dog.

>>6596031
humans are evil, they must DIE, DIE, DIE AND FINALY DIE

FUCK I REMEMBER THIS.

What happened since we killed Schmahkah?

“Stay back, my children – except for two of you. Two shall escape to preserve our race, in case I fall.”

You elect a pair of children mentally – two of the finned slugs. They will sneak away and they will attempt to thrive in adverse conditions if anything happens to you. If you succeed, they will rejoin you and the rest of your group. They are the first out – they crawl from the hole, flopping on the floor and slithering away and hiding in the disgusting refuse that exists in the sewers.

You emerge from the tunnel, crawling slowly towards the entrance – then with a one and a two and a three, you jump, with all your might, leaping through the air. You crash into the human’s back, clawing at his shoulders and trying to latch on – but before you can use your harpoon, he flails wildly and despite the fact he is a hobo, he is far stronger than you are. You’re flung off, your momentum sending you rolling through the sewage. You manage to claw your way to the surface of the liquid filth, only to find a crazed human wailing at the top of its lungs, trying to eliminate the threat to it – by raising its boot above you.

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

okay never mind run

>>6596098

Harpoon to the throat. If we cant reach that far (wasn't it 3 or 5 feet long?) Then spear him through the foot. Avoid being stepped on at all costs!

>>6596074
We killed a hobo's dog and now we are trying to kill the Hobo.

>>6596098
I WILL CWUSH THEM BENEATH MY BOOT.

>>6596074
You've become larger and stronger, although you sacrificed your limited chitin. You had twelve - or thirteen children remaining, you can't quite remember. Three children have died. Two to this dead dog, one to a cat. Six children are still fin slugs, as they were when you spawned them. Three children became soldiers, but their evolution was uncontrolled - one became a swimmer, one became a scout, one became a tank.
You've also got a small herd of six tame rats hidden in the back of your tunnel.

I've just noticed that from the hobo's perspective this is like a bad B movie

>>6596128
Well from our perspective is a heroic epic of self-discovery.

>>6596118
Oh, also, in recent events:
- You've managed to kill and eat some carp, along with the rest of your children.
- You've tried to "siren call" prey to you - which resulted in you drawing a group of stray cats - and the human and his dog, which scared them off.

>>6596031
Harpoon hobo throat! Can't reach that? Groin. Can't reach that? Boot.
Hope the sludge beneath us is soft and thick enough to minimise squishidge if we fail.

>>6596118
>>6596113
One vote for getting the fuck out.
One vote for attempting to spear the throat or attempting to spear the foot, priority in that order, and attempting to avoid the foot.

Anyone else?

>>6596149
Stab him in the grion?

I like that.

>>6596161
Agreed to stabing in groin.

And jump on his face if he falls over.

otherwise, pray

Four votes for offense. Initiating Operation Groinstab.

If we get our harpoon in him, we won't kill him but we'll be tethered to him and he'll flail about and possible smash us against the walls.

>>6596191
I think a harpoon to the balls is going to be more debilitating than you think.

>>6596156
Aim for his anus, grappling his insides ripping them out through his anus.

>>6596200
We're fucked if he's got a hobo knife.

>>6596210

If a slug had just speared me in the testicles, my mind wouldnt scream "GET A KNIFE" it would scream "WHATTHEFUCKRUNAWAYFUCKFUCKFUCK"

>>6596235
I have a hunch if you had your testicles pierced by some kind of alien creature your mind wouldn't be screaming much of anything other than AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You desperately try to crawl back, defensively baring your teeth, opening your hideously fanged mouth and bearing your needle-like tongue at the human. Suddenly, the harpoon shoots out and the calcium dart goes flying towards the groin. Of course, due to the motion of the man, you miss the groin, catching him just above the right side of his coxal bone. He lets out a cry of pain in response.

The boot comes crashing down. Before you realize it, one of your hind legs is caught beneath it and is immediately crushed. Bone becomes nothing more than messy splinters contained within the skin of your leg. The limb can only be described as useless, and trapped beneath the gigantic weight of a human – that is busy reaching down to clutch his abdominal region. Your harpoon is still stuck in the human.

Action?

>>6596268
Fuck. What are our kids doing?

>>6596284
A pair of them are worriedly observing from the distance of the tunnel, hiding at a safe distance, so they may escape.

Swimmer, Scout and Tank - as well as your four other finslugs - are hiding in your hive tunnel.

>>6596268

Rinse, repeat. Maybe we'll peirce the great big blood vessel in his thigh, and he'll bleed out. As soon as he lifts his foot up, drag our half-broken ass to some water. We can swim with a broken leg better than we can run, and he cant follow us.

>>6596268
Get the kids in on the action aside from the two runners. He's plenty distracted, a group effort should take him down.

>>6596268
Call in the rats.

>>6596325
I think rats'll work better, at least as a distraction.

THEN MORE GROIN STABBING.

>>6596303
>>6596308
>>6596325
One for rinse and repeat.
One for get the kids.
One for get the rats.

Any others?

GET A PEG-LEG, BECOME SLUG PIRATEZ!

what the fuck are you guys doing? We've got soldier kids that could be helping us but instead we're trying to solo this guy?

Get them out here so we can hunt as a pack like we were supposed to be doing! Surround us and protect us now that we've got a fucked up leg, remove harpoon, aim at throat, fuck him up! If the throat is a miss then hit his fucking face! If we can't get to his face/throat then hit his groin or the inside of his leg to open up that major artery. He'll bleed out quick and die and if we die then our kids can om nom nom the human, dog, and cat bodies around us.

>>6596350
>>6596344
>>6596338
... Fuck it, going for a combination of all three then.
Any objections?

>>6596344
I'm for calling in rats, at least to distract and die in our place if our harpooning attacks fail.

Get my children to surround him and attack

>>6596375
Nope, attack away.

>>6596375

Let's do this!

>>6596375
not from me

>>6596375
Sounds good.

We really need to take out this fucking hobo. Now that he knows about us, he might try and tell other humans! I doubt anyone would believe him, but still! He might come back with more hobos! We could have an entire hobo brigade suddenly breathing down our necks, armed with terrible sticks and bring more and more malnourished war dogs with them!

YOU RECOIL YOUR TONGUE AND SLICE THE AQUILLES TENDON

>>6596413
...and thus the world would be saved by a gang of malnourished and down trodden hobos, their actions never to be properly known, their battles never recorded, never to be told to the outside known? The world shall never have known of the dire enemies they faced, the mouth harpoon, the acid spit?

That sounds like a really good fucking premise for a campaign or a story or some shit.

Before the giant can do anything about the harpoon, you tear it out and back into your mouth with a tiny fragment of flesh. A feeble morsel – nothing that could grant you evolutionary material. However, the titan also withdraws his weapon, raising his foot once more. You use this to your advantage, managing to slip away and gain some minor cover amongst the filth, unfortunately, your body is no longer small enough to be so easily submerged – you’re visible to the human, even if just barely.

Filthy water is pulverised by the foot as the frenzied beast desperately tries to crush you. For a second, you pause, turning around to try and harpoon the groin once more. Your fanged maw opens, revealing your menacing tongue and – smack. You go flying as the human hits you with incredibly force, booting you into a wall. Ribs are crushed and stars are flying in your head. Fuck, that hurt. Every movement hurts, with the pain threatening to incapacitate you. Fuck this, time to call in the cavalry. You call for the aid of your soldiers and inserting thoughts into the rats? Well, that’s easy at this stage.

“Hungry.”
“Hungry?”
“HUNGRY!”
A tide of six vermin rustle out of the tunnel frantically, rushing towards the scent of blood and the bleeding human as he closes in for the kill, telepathically pushed on by you. They rush up the inside of his pants, one of them being smashed by his foot while the rest tear at and gnaw at his flesh. One of your soldiers – the more athletic swimmer – even manages to leap on his back, tearing and chewing at his flesh. However, the rest, fearing their deaths and being crushed by the giant’s feet, do not approach.

>>6596490
While he is destracted urge on the swimmer, put shame in the one that stayed, and slice at him again with the tongue... there is no retreat from this! He must die!

>>6596490
Attempt to aid the assault by telepathically muddying the humans mind... don't need to control, just intefere. Not sure if we've tried this in a previous game and found it doesnt work; my apologies if this is the case.

Get back on him! Help our child! If we can make a big enough hole in the guy, try and crawl in his flesh.

HE HAS HUGE GUTS

Hard science was never my strong point.
Sage because this post contains no valid input.

You are incapable of vomit. Something to do with traits that you've gained from rats.

>>6596532
We can't really affect creatures that large, we tried to affect a dog once and it didn't work. WE should urge on the others and aim for vital areas if possible.

Do them all, start with muddling, then reinforce, then strike.

>>6596581
Haven't we lost our acid spit for the harpoon?

In any case, we need to get to a safer place (probably the hobo's back, in that area nobody can reach) before trying anything psychic.

>>6596599

>>6596565
We are not in good shape here, let's phone this one in and act as support. Harpoon if the opportunity presents itself, but stay out of reach.

Either reinforcement or bombardment.

>>6596679
Hey Bill.

Well, you’ve had enough of being push around. Time to make this human go crazy! You begin to probe in your mind and quickly, you begin to realize just how complex it is. Even in his current state, the amount of thoughts running through the human’s skull... It’s incredible, how could he process this much information at once? It’s almost impossible to understand but you manage to latch on to one emotion that you spot, one in particular: Confusion. You promote this confusion, increasing and increasing it, bringing it higher and higher until it ranks higher than anger or sadness. Eventually, the human just had no idea what the fuck is going on.

Confusion leads to fear.

The wailing beast flails, trying to get rid of its attackers. It begins to remove the layer of cloth that covers its legs, tossing it away in an effort to get rid of those bastard rats. It flails wildly, desperately trying to grab them and chuck them off, one at a time. One goes flying, its brains dashed against a wall. Another rat lands in the water and tries to flee from scene, fear taking over its mind. Then, you launch your harpoon a second time, managing to hit the human between his ribs, causing the monstrous thing to cry out in pain.

Just as you withdraw your harpoon, the gigantic thing begins to stumble away, half naked, wild and confused, with your swimmer still latched on to its back and three rats, clawing and eating at its thighs and abdominal area.

>>6596739
After him! Harpoon again in hopes of getting enough meat to evolve!

Harpoon ithim from... behind? That orifice between its hips looks pretty vulnerable.

>>6596739
Give chase and aim for the neck if it presents itself.

If we've spiked him between the ribs, and he's homeless, trudging through these dark sewers, with rats biting him, and wounds covering his body.

He is going to die. Slip and fall or something.

Let's retract our harpoon, chase as well as we can, in our weakened state, and harpoon him in the leg.

Take out his legs, and he can't escape.

>>6596777
>>6596757
Currently, one of your hind legs is nothing more than a sack of bone. Also, every time you move, you feel spikes of pain due the various broken bones in your torso jabbing into your organs as you shift about.
Movement is... somewhat limited.

latch onto it's ass and tear off a chunk of meat!

If you can hit the back of the skull do that to kill him... but ass seems to a better bet to take some meat and gtfo!

Now that his pants are off your tongue can do more damage, aim for him anus and rip his low intestine out through the hole. As he desperately claws at his insides (Now ironically outside) recoil your tongue and shoot straight through the eye socket killing the man in one fell swoop!

>>6596808
I agree I want some ass meat, hobo rump roast.

>>6596804
Can we hit him at all with our harpoon, is he within range?

>>6596804
don't move. We're to wounded, and we don't need anymore internal injuries due to bone fragments.

>>6596821
Within range. He's trying to stumble away. Current range - five feet. At six feet, he's out of range.

>>6596804
>>6596795

An Idea for next time we evolve if possible is to get something that would protect us against blunt impacts so we can take it a little bit better. Maybe more fat?

>>6596833
Now or never. Stab with everything we have!

He has fled, time to cut our losses and go recooperate.

If we can't get him have swimmer grab a nice chunk and bring it back for us. We shall share the victory of our spoils alone since no one else helped.

>>6596838
We'll eat the dog and gain some tougher hide/fur.

>>6596851
Not yet he hasn't... and quite a few of us have been clamouring for a harpoon from behind!

Aim for the leg, tell swimmer to go higher. Let rats keep chewing, we must not let him escape!

If we can spear a leg he'll go down and the hive will feed, more reinforcements too.

Going with harpoon for the rear, then.

>>6596833
One last harpoon!

>>6596876
Have our rats bite at his neck.

Even if he gets away, have them follow. With those body wounds, he'll collapse eventually.

>>6596853
I agree with this. Get swimmer and the rats to take as much flesh as they can, and get off of him.

Take care of our wounds and such, we might need to move the nest again if he survives and brings more men back.

Attack the human again, he is fleeing, there is no reason not to.

Lets get some of that delicious muscle mass.

Oh crap, Slug Quest is back!

Third time’s a charm. The harpoon goes flying for a third time as the human tries to scramble away, with Swimmer crawling further up the body, gnawing at the neck. For once, you manage to hit practically dead centre. The sight is... unsightly as you withdraw your harpoon, causing the human to stumble forward with a sharper cry of pain. You know how I would put it?

You’ve torn him a new one.

Without going into details about that, the rats are swarming over his torso now and Swimmer is tearing at his vulnerable neck. You also hear several psychic screams as your children suddenly charge, swarming over the body to join in, all of them ripping and tearing with their fangs, spewing vomit over his flesh. He thrashes and begins to claw at them, squashing one of your children beneath a fist and knocking a rat away with a hand. Then he fumbles at his neck as he lies in the river of fetid water and shit, and gets a hold of Swimmer, gripping your finest soldier firmly with his iron grip.

>>6596969

Shoot that fucker in the wrist to get him to drop Swimmer! Make sure you dont hit the sluggy little guy with the harpoon though. HE CANNOT FALL!

>>6596969
Well, even if he gets away, he is dead. Sewage getting into so many wounds. Filling in through his anus, and the wound in his chest. He must be in immeasurable amounts of pain right now.

I don't remember how our swimmer looks, but he should either try to escape from the hand or attack it.

We, need to harpoon him right in the head. Through the temple or eye or base of the neck/spine. Somewhere.

1. Use Psychic Powers
2. Make Giant Smelly Guy Calm
3. Force Hive to Bring You Some Meat
4. Evolve
5. ???
6. PROFIT!

Has his head fallen within range of your harpoon? For the final mortal strike.

Make Swimmer not attack too - it'll only provoke a crushing reflex from the human.

>>6596993
Swimmer looks rather sluggish still - but instead possesses a pair of hardened nubs that act as mandibles and four legs. Also contains some rudimentry bones.
That's Swimmer's appearance for you.

>>6596969
FUCK! How has this bastard not blacked out from trauma yet? His down and not moving as much, put one in his skull before we lose our boy!

Back with more crapscrabble, as this really needs some. Keep it up! Also, shoot for the base of the neck! Disable the motor system of the beast! Swimmer must not die!

>>6597041

Slippy Slippy Swimmer... SLIP AWAY!
PSYCHIC COMMAND! SLIP AWAAAAY!

Our swimmer saved us once, it's time to return the favor/

Okay, our soldiers are on him now, right? So here's what we do, editing from this guy's.
>>6597015
Use psychic powers to try and freeze the hobo while the Tank and the other evolved guy attack the base of the neck. Make Swimmer not attack, as it'll provoke the hobo to crush him. When hobo is down for the count, make them bring you his heart as an offering. Eat it and evolve!

Attacking and killing a hobo like this makes me feel bad for him.

I would feel less worse if he were rich and productive.

Weird.

It's because you're a closet pinko.

“STOP.”

The human, surprised by the alien thought suddenly forced into its head flails about frantically, looking around for the source of the strange... sound for a brief moment. It looks up at the ledge of the fetid river, where a grinning face stares at it, with a barbed tongue pointing directly at him. A hand is raised to smash the threat but then, everything is tinted red with a flash of blood – and slowly fades to black.

The human’s movements become duller but more spastic, twitching as he lies there. His hand falls to the side and Swimmer falls free, clearly winded from the tight grip of the monstrosity. The rest of your young look up for a brief moment, the torso covered in hundreds of small, ugly bite wounds.

Your harpoon is buried between his eyes.

>>6597107
he was also crying over his dead dog a while ago.

The dog we killed. Who was probably his only friend in the world.

He probably called him Skippy, and kept him warm at nights and gave him food, even when they wouldn't be enough to share.

>>6597135
FEED!
FEED!
FEEEEEEEEEED!!!

>>6597153
and bring some of the food to us!

BRING US ITS BRAIN!

RETRACT HARPOON WITH BRAIN STUCK TO END.
EVOLVE BETTER BRAIN FUNCTION.
PSYCHIC SLUG IS AWESOME.

Take stock of the surroundings! We must not be interupted!

i almost feel bad

So... its EVOLUTON TIME!!

>>6597146
BRAIN EAT!
WE APPROVE THE BRAIN EAT!

And once we get a little taste of brain, we waltz on over and eat the rest of the brain. Eyeballs go to Tank. Heart goes to Swimmer. Rest of head goes to Hearer. Give the rest of the body to rats and children.

>>6597192

This.

>>6597192
We can get the same genetic info from all the damn bits.

DEVOUR

>>6597180
Your surroundings:
Further up the sewage passage, you can see traces of a scuffle, including a maimed cat corpse, probably by the dog.

Just in front of your hiding spot, there is the corpse of the dog.

Several feet from that hiding spot, there is the corpse of the human, surrounded by you and your young, who await your command - along with two rats, who are eating away at the body.

The fishing lines that you assembled - in order to catch useful items and scraps of discarded human food - are ruined by the melee.

MAN FLESH

>>6597205

It's more symbolic than anything. Kind of Aztec-ian, know what I mean? We need to create some rituals for our slug-tribe.

>>6597228
Fair enough.
DEVOUR THE BRAIN!
DEVOUR THE BRAIN!
BEVOUR THE DRAIN!

We need to find and eat that jeepers creepers guy.

Posting.

We get man meat, along with swimmer, everyone else gets dog and cat.

I'd say we shouldn't give them the same kind of intelligence as us, unless it is a very trust worthy member of the brood.

>>6597215
eat man brain, dog brain and cat brain

>>6597270

Ooh. Well then - Stick with earlier plan, except only the currently evolved slugs get to eat the human.

Make a speech to our slugs. Something along the lines of "The slug god has rewarded us for our faith, let those who do not believe suffer the same fate as this one. This human is but the first to fall to us, now let us feast" Then distribute the organs accordingly.

>>6597270

We have something on the order of 300 children coming up, remember? We should save a lot of human.

>>6597107
We expect people to get comeuppance appropriate to their station and deeds. Hobos have pretty shit lives, so attacking them is kind of par for the course. Their comeuppance is not getting any money from the people on the street they harangue.

Rich people on the other hand, already figure that their lives are perfect and nothing could go wrong, so the appropriate fate for cocksure bastards is to die in horrific ways.

FEAST UPON THE BRAINS.

>>6597270
This.
>>6597289
No, we are not turning this into that one crab quest game.

Just make a speech about how we are the master race, perfect beings destined to evolve into the top of the food chain.

>>6597298
We have about 100+ pounds of human flesh, 20+ pounds of dog flesh, and 5+ pounds of cat flesh. We'll have enough, hell we'll need to gorge ourselves in order to eat it all before it rots.

“The brain shall be mine. The brain is that which thinks and by consuming it, I shall take its knowledge. Swimmer, you shall take its heart, for although your courage is already admirable, you can only become greater by consumption. Tank, you shall take the eyes. Scout, you shall take the ears. You shall use these senses to know that YOU SHOULD DO WHAT I FUCKING TELL YOU TO.”

They wilt beneath your fury but before they attempt to apologize, you continue.

“Scout shall also consume the rest of the head, as to become more familiar with the prey that we hunt. We shall also eat from the rest of the body – along with the rest of you. We shall do this with each of the prey creatures that have been slain this day.”

So, now that you’ve arranged dinner, to more important things. For example, your crippled, useless leg and your partially crushed torso, that might be suffering from internal bleeding.

>>6597323
Agreed. No reason to spontaneously put something on a pedestal above us.

If the Slug-God exists then we will find him. We will eat him. We will become greater than him.

>>6597358
Have our children bring us our meal, then attempt to... um... evolve?

>>6597358
If I'm not mistaken, eating may be the best solution. Don't we regenerate when we evolve?

>>6597358
What methods are available to us for healing. I wasn't here for the other slug-chapters.

>>6597359
Well we are the Slug God's prophet, by raising him up we raise ourselves in his name.

>>6597358
Find a gecko to eat so that you may grow a new leg just like it.

>>6597358
Force the weakest two among us to feed da top slug and tend to his wounds before they get to eat.

>>6597379
From your observations, minor to serious injuries can be healed via gestation.
However, crippling injuries - such as your partially melted face - have remained despite gestation.

Gestation may heal your torso - but who knows what will happen with your leg?

>>6597397
No.

>>6597408
Yes.

>>6597411
Well, if we put most of our evolution into human, then there may be a chance of getting proper arms and hands. With those, we could fashion a peg leg.

>>6597383
Gestation. You are capable of exuding a liquid that creates a cocoon around your body. During this period, you're capable of healing and evolution.

I wonder what would happen if we ate a part of ourself.

EAT A GECKO SO YOU CAN REGENERATE A LEG OVER TIME JUST LIKE THEM

We need to get this hobo-corpse to disappear, because if other humans find it down here they're going to tear the sewers apart looking for is. Gnaw it into manageable pieces and haul it back into our lair. The other kills too. Clean up the scene as best we can.

>>6597444
>pegleg
!!! THIS THIS BY THE SLUG GOD THIS!!!

I'd say we try to take on as much human look and DNA in the process as we can. Try to grow some too. If we can get the size to walk around up there or something of the sort, or outgrow predators down here It could be a big help.

>>6597463
slug paradox?

>>6597469
This is probably a good idea.

>>6597452
Then have two of our slug babies feed us delicious brains... then they bury us in sludge and debris to hide us as we enter gestation.

>>6597463
Eating a part of yourself counts towards the food required to reach the gestation state - however, you can evolve into what you already are.

Anyway, posting.

Turn into a fucking crazy looking monster humanoid.

Hope Swimmer evolves into a "hot" female humanoid monster.

Once we finish the ceremonial devouring of the organs we need to take as much flesh as we can and hunker down for a while. We need to wait for our eggs to hatch, indoctrinate the young, and involve a batch of fin slugs.

>>6597501
evolve* and evolve ourselves too.

You request two of the fin slugs to tend to you before they get a taste of food. Your hunger is satiated and your injured leg is nursed. However, you begin to notice something.

You haven’t placed restriction on how much your children should be eating.

Already, three of your fin slugs and all of your soldiers are beginning to exude the slime to indicate gestation and evolution. Even you are beginning to. Your movement become even heavier and sluggish than they are already are – and there are still so much of these corpses left over!

You’re moments away from evolution. What did you wish for you and your children to do before you begin to evolve?

>>6597494
if we get bigger, we'll become easier for humans to notice.
To grow is not an option until we become a bigger hive

>>6597534
Take as much as possible into the hideout and cover it up with the rest.

>>6597534

Get this carcass out of sight. Stash it, and save it for when the eggs hatch. Rebuild the fishing lines in the meanwhile.

>>6597534
Tell the rats to hide, our newborns may hatch and eat them accidentally. Have someone watch the eggs, and hide our cocoon as best we can.

>>6597534
make them hide the body, chunks of meat or something like that, also, make them hide us if we can't do it by ourselves

>>6597534
Burrow into the human corpse

>>6597542
Yep get as much into our home and hide the rest as well as possible.

As I understand it:

Hide as much of the food as possible in the back of your hole
Begin gestation inside of your hole

Correct?

>>6597586
Yes.

>>6597569
No, if the corpse is found someone will be sure to send it the authorities and someone will find us inside him.

>>6597534
Me: Smarter, Opposable Digits, Tougher Flesh
Tank: Harpoon. Eyes. Become artillery.
Swimmer: Sharp Teeth! Fast Limbs!
Scout: Stay small. Get Faster. Improve senses.
Other 6: 2 imitate tank. 2 imitate scout. 2 imitate swimmer.

>>6597586
Sounds good.

>>6597586
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Not in the hole. We'll be trapped in there.

>>6597598
That isn't quite how gestation works here, but you'll see in a second.

Before we go to sleep, put out a psychic signal of fear. To stay away from this area. Hopefully that will make it safer for us to evolve.

>>6597603
This is true, unless we don't grow at all we'll get stuck. Hide in a rotten tree stump or inside some thick brush or a small rock outcropping.

>>6597631
We're in the sewers where a full grown man was just running around. There's plenty of room here.

>>6597631
Are you sure you want to go to the surface?

>>6597631
We're in a sewer.

>>6597644
>>6597638
We're fine, go in the friggin sewer i say.

>>6597644
No, I say we move our ass to another location, just us. Leave all the others in the normal spot, maybe web up the entry way and cover it with debris.

>>6597662
You can web the grate that used to cover the hole into place - it's how you concealed yourself before man came.

What sort of location do you want to gestate in? A large pile of refuse? A secluded tunnel? In the open?

>>6597644

Nuhuh.

We should just put all our development into evolution rather than growth. Smarter, not bigger. Also, is it possible to pump extra effort into healing up?

>>6597680
Secluded tunnel.

>>6597680
Refuse.

>>6597680
Tunnel.

>>6597680
between tunnel and refuse, I choose the trash.

>>6597685
Growth also results in healing?

A side tunnel off of our main area. Of relatively similar size.

Use debris to hide us.

>>6597680

Somewhere secluded, for certain. Also somewhere that's not such a tight corner that we'll get trapped if we get any bigger.

rolled 1 = 1

>>6597719
>>6597706
>>6597698
>>6597691
1 = Tunnel
2 = Refuse

Shitscribbler from the first thread here, I can't believe I've missed so much, I'm ashamed.

>>6597739
That's damn cool.

rolled 1 = 1

>>6597728
>>6597733
Tunnel it is.
>>6597739
That is perfect. You caught the appearance exactly.
Bravo, sir.

Has anybody else here played the flash game The Visitor? Because it has a very similar premise to this. The only real difference is that you start out as an alien slug. At any rate....

>>6597617
>>6597603

These are both good moves.

You get your other two children to gestate as well. Everyone's going to be gestating, it seems. You seal up the grate and observe them as they begin to evolve - they're deep enough inside that the chances of them being found is a billion to one. Still, you send out a psychic message for everything to stay the fuck away anyway.

You limp off to find yourself a tunnel. Using various debris and refuse, you manage to knit together a nice little disguise that makes you look like just another pile of trash. You smother yourself with it, allowing the heavy gestation fluid to flow over you. It's time for rest, time for growth, time for change - time for evolution.

>>6597801
Allocate 100% between Growth and Evolution.

Allocate 100% between the following species:
Brown Rat
Blow Fly
Cockroach
Common Carp
Dog (Mongrel)
Cat (Mongrel)
Man

All of those food types are currently available to your children as well. Since you are evolving at the same time, you are unable to affect their course of evolution.

>>6597801
time to try and not die a horrible death from internal damages.

30% growth, 70% evolution

40% man 30% carp 15% cat 15% dog


Let's do this

>>6597812
50% Cockroach
50% Man

20% Growth 80% Evolution.

25% Cockroach
25% Cat (Mongrel)
50% Man

>>6597835
50% Growth 50% Evolution also

>>6597534
weren't some of us pregnant?

>>6597812

80% evolution, 20% growth.

10% Brown Rat
5% Blow Fly
5% Cockroach
10% Common Carp
25% Dog (Mongrel)
10% Cat (Mongrel)
35% Man

>>6597835

This. Lets outlast a nuclear war!

70% Evolve, 30% Grow as it was mentioned here >>6597721 that growth means healing, and we've got some pretty serious wounds.

70% Man, 30% Dog.

>>6597849
You impregnated all of your children.
As soon as gestation is over, they will lay their eggs. Within a certain amount of time, the eggs will hatch and you will have...
240 spawn.

>>6597835
Cockroaches are fucking awesome survivors. I say:
25%Roach
75%Human

75%Evo 25%Growth.

>>6597864
:cripes:

>>6597865
I'm the 50/50 roach-man poster, I'd also accept this. as long as we got are self a good bit of roach and man. for survivability and intelligence respectively.

Cockroach 70%

Evolution 60%, Growth 40%

10% Brown Rat
10% Blow Fly
15% Cockroach
5% Common Carp
25% Dog (Mongrel)
10% Cat (Mongrel)
35% Man

I put 40% growth because we're so fucked up. We really need to heal. And 10% for fly in hopes of wing, and 15% of cockroach because fuck yeah, cockroach.

>>6597893

Fly wings won't be any good for us, given the size we are now. We're too heavy for them to work.

70% Growth
30% Evolution

45% Man
20% Cockroach
15% Cat
15% Dog
5% Carp

This is what I have got after getting a little average from everything.

Is there a general agreement, or..?

Ok, you're all insane.

40%, 60% evolution

20% man (not too much, because aside from sentience, size, and hands, humans aren't that great)
50% cockroach (dying sucks)
30% dog (awesome hearing and sense of smell, strength, sharp pointy teeth)

>>6597865
This works.

>>6597912
More dog, less roach.

>>6597907
wings would still be awesome. But if that won't work...

10% Brown Rat
5% Blow Fly
20% Cockroach
5% Common Carp
25% Dog (Mongrel)
15% Cat (Mongrel)
35% Man

>>6597739

Well, crap, that's awesome - not only am I shamed, but it makes mine look like a stoned-tramp's-eye-view.

Regardless! I'd say 25% Growth, 75% Evolution - Let's not start to get bigger until we're properly equipped for life outside the sewers.

My personal preference would be:
50% Man - If we think like this now, just imagine what we'd be like with the capability for higher-level brain function! Additionally, tool use will be very handy in th short term (unless we can evolve one of our childrens, like Tank, into a Tool maker of sorts.)

25% Dog (Mongrel) - We're obviously having a successful time with our children helping us - let's see if a bit of pack mentality / pheromonal control can strengthen that.

25% Common Carp - Gills might be useful, but whats the point in becoming a leader of slugkind if you have no progeny to lead? Carp can produce up to 300,000 eggs in a single spawning; I'd be hoping for that.

>>6597912
Looks right to me,.

30% growth, 70% evolution.

50% human
20% dog
30% carp

>>6597914
If it's not clear, I was meaning to say 40% growth.

>>6597912
I don't like the idea of having such a low level of evolution, but we were so fucked up by the hobo I think we may need to dump as much into growth as we can.

Let's roll.

>>6597918
less dog, more roach

>>6597912
but in all seriousness that is pretty good. Like I said, i just want a good bit of roach and man.

>>6597912
Oh... wait... didn't notice that growth and evolution look like they're the wrong way round there...

>>6597948
Ditto.

We need to raid the surface for a gecko or find a tapeworm somewhere, not being able to heal from aside from gestation is starting to put a dent in our evolving.

>>6597920

Yeah, my post was a bit slow there. Happy for that one.

Opinions seem to be conflicted - so I am settling with what I posted.

Time to prepare the update.

>>6597953
>>6597955
Evolution and growth are the wrong way around.

THE UPDATE WILL BE A NEW THREAD.

How nice to have the evolution herald a new thread.

>>6597948
I'm all for a good bit of roach, but we've got more of an endoskeletion thing going on and the dog offers better senses, sharper teeth, bigger claws, and a tougher hide.

>>6597973
We're going to be awesome!

>>6597992
Roaches have pretty tough shells, also in general the other dog abilities are more suited toward a scout.

Dogs and insects.

We're the fucking zerg.
