You ready your Energy Reserves to feed your BLOOMICATE skill.

You begin with a terrifying DREAD BLOSSOM!

Although the constant screaming is somewhat disconcerting, at least you are making sounds other than gentle rustling.

Creating the DREAD BLOSSOM sapped two CHLOROPLASTIC UNITS from your Energy Reserves.

Wesley Foxx Wrote:>CAPTIVATING LUREBLOSSOM
Though the DREAD BLOSSOM is quite an impressive mood-piece, you decide a LURE BLOSSOM might be more useful...

I'll take that as a compliment!

Thanks! [img]images/smilies/icon_party.gif[/img] I didn't notice until you pointed it out; my warmest regards to everyone who's kept this alive so far!

You sprout a CAPTIVATING LURE BLOSSOM.
[Image: 153.gif]
Its enticing aroma perfumes the air and mingles with the blood-curdling screams of the DREAD BLOSSOM.

The effort of growing the LURE BLOSSOM drains two more CHLOROPLAST UNITS from your Energy Reserves.

Well... now what?

Mercury is good for alien plantlife, right? You dip your BELEAFED TENDRIL into the puddle of NOXIOUS MERCURY.

You have acquired a LEAFFUL O' MERCURY.

Seconded.

Also, this little adventure has taken off, hasn't it? Good job, Thriggle. I'll attribute that to your awesome illustrations.

You decide to accentuate your BLOSSOMs with some of your NOXIOUS MERCURY.
[Image: 157copy.jpg]
You stuff the DREAD BLOSSOM's mouth-like aperture with MERCURY and it becomes somewhat less dreadful, and much less annoying. You smear the rest on the LURE BLOSSOM to create a POISONOUS TRICK BLOSSOM.

You think you still have enough MERCURY left to chuck at those obnoxious little animals.
[Image: 158copy.png]
Which of the NATIVE ANIMALS would you like to target with your remaining NOXIOUS MERCURY?

You decide that you'll make the biggest impression if you bean the one that seems to be the center of attention over there.
You fling your LEAFFUL O' MERCURY toward the NATIVE ANIMAL on the box.
[Image: 159.gif]
The NOXIOUS MERCURY splashes into the NATIVE's face in a most satisfying way.
[Image: 160.gif]
The NATIVE ANIMAL seems ENRAGED.
It glares at you in a most THREATENING MANNER.
[Image: 162.gif]
One of the other ANIMALs moves in and triggers a crude chemical explosion in your direction.

Perhaps you can ensnare some delicious ANIMALS and start to digest them but not the one covered in NOXIOUS MERCURY.

There's no way to outrun them; even if you weren't currently enjoying the IMMOBILIZED Action Trait, the fact that these NATIVE ANIMALS have legs gives them an EVOLUTIONARY ADVANTAGE over you in the realm of mobility.

You are about to ROOTIFY deeper into the ground when you are struck by a particularly well-placed CHEMICAL EXPLOSION.

You lose two CHLOROPLASTIC UNITS from your TURGIDITY.

Archduke_Ferdinand Wrote:>Thornberry, quickly! You need defense and you need it now.
The time has come. Though your name is WESLEY, you summon the impressive NIGEL'S THORNBERRY, draining three of your four remaining CHLOROPLASTIC UNITS from your Energy Reserves.
[Image: 164.gif]
You lose one CHLOROPLASTIC UNIT from your TURGIDITY due to your POISONED Action Trait. A point is drained from your Energy Reserves to keep you alive.

Your Energy Reserves are now too low to continue fighting. You enter HOMEOSTATIC INANIMATE STANDBY MODE. Until sunrise, when your Energy Reserves will begin replenishing due to your PHOTOSYNTHESIS Action Trait, you can only interact with the world through your BLOSSOMS and BERRIES.

Your DREAD BLOSSOM is nonresponsive. Your POISONOUS TRICKBLOSSOM is Active. Your NIGEL'S THORNBERRY is Active.
[Image: 165copy.png]
You are now NIGEL'S THORNBERRY.
