Well, this would be great if, though, there weren't infinitely more downsides to it than upsides. I mean sure, being a lizard with six arms would make you a better businessman if they were actually arms and if you had any idea how to coordinate them and if, you know, your businessguage wasn't in the red right now. This is disgraceful.

You really can't move very easily. Why would you even need this many legs? It's not like you need an exceptional grip on anything. This is dumb. It takes you a while just to get to the other side of the cage, fumble around with the tome without thumbs, and open it to a random page.

Even then, there doesn't seem to be anything of use inside. It's not even written in Common. The illustrations are nice, but without the words this is just an arcane picture book. You don't have time for this.

Dragon Fogel Wrote:>Try to grab that flask outside the cage.

[Image: BT54-1.png]

That doesn't seem like a very good idea. You'd probably spill it on yourself, and somehow make your day even worse than it already is. You have no idea why anyone would put a bottle of acid within reach of a cage, but that's not really your concern. You need to find a way to get out of here.

Ixcaliber Wrote:You can probably fit between those bars.

[Image: BT55-1.png]

...Oh. Right. Whoever made this cage must have been an idiot. Or at least whoever decided to store you in here. Either way, you're free. There are a couple of things scattered about on the table: a BROKEN POSSIBLY-MAGIC CRYSTAL and some sort of SCREWDRIVER. And of course, the flask of acid.

[Image: BT56.png]

You can vaguely see another cage across the room next to the door, as well as some sort of countertop with some potions on it. You're pretty sure that the door is reinforced with metal plating, and that you have absolutely no chance of opening it. Not that it matters since you're stuck on a table well above the floor.

Wonderful day you're having here.

Yeah, like that's happening. That would be kind of an awesome thing to have, though, lizard or otherwise. Maybe you can figure out a way to make that happen while you're here.

Dragon Fogel Wrote:>Use the flask of acid to melt a hole in the door.

[Image: BT58.png]

That actually sounds like a reasonable idea. It's probably extremely corrosive and you don't really need to make a very big hole to squeeze through.

One problem, though. While your BUSINESSVENTORY is, in fact, still a thing, its size has been reduced to a single item. Luckily for you, that single item happens to be the milk carton. You absolutely refuse to part with it, though. That milk is for your breakfast. You're not going to give that up just to carry around some highly corrosive acid!

Well, you guess you could set the milk down and come back for it later. That really just depends on whether you can get back up here once you're done.

ProfessorLizzard Wrote:>Do you think you could climb back if you jumped down to the floor?

[Image: BT59.png]

Doesn't look all that good. You're ambivalent about jumping down there in the first place, although you'd probably be fine with such a relatively short drop. You really don't know how well you could grip one of the table legs, though, so you might not be able to make it back up here once you jump down. Gonna have to find a way to get the acid down someh-

[Image: BT60.png]

Dammit. You are really beginning to hate being a lizard.

You know, more than you already did.

Hey! Your tail managed to manipulate an item without having to store it in your buisnessventory! Add that sucker to your businessgauge.

RE: Breakfast Time
Damage control. Damage control. They're not going to believe a flask of acid waltzed off the table by itself. Hide someplace and wait for someone to come in, and hopefully slip out before they get used to night vision and such.

What bottle of acid? You know nothing about any bottles of acid. After all, you've been completely secure in this VERY WELL-CONSTRUCTED CAGE this entire time. There's no way you can escape!

...You're not sure anyone's actually coming. You wait for several more minutes just to be sure.

Dammit.

...Yeah, no one's coming. You get back out of the IDIOT CAGE.

dragonHacker Wrote:> Investigate the results of your tomfoolery!

Shadow Phoenix Wrote:Acid, dig hole to the cellar.

[Image: BT63.png]

That was... really, really powerful acid. You're kind of glad you didn't try to jump down with it.

There appear to be a couple of barrels of UNIDENTIFIED LIQUIDS, as well as a cabinet with some things on it. You can't really make out what they are. Probably more alchemy stuff or something.

Knock anything interesting off the table too. Then jump down.

Knock the cage off the table. Then it won't be as obvious that you just slipped out!

You're not going to risk damaging this wizard's stuff. He probably deserves it but what if he comes looking for you? You might make him angry.

More angry than he probably always is.

Also that magic crystal might blow up the city or something. You never know with wizards.

AgentBlue Wrote:Knock the cage off the table. Then it won't be as obvious that you just slipped out!

[Image: BT65.png]

A much better idea! However, your tiny lizardy arms/legs are much too weak to move the huge steel cage. It might also be held down with magic for all you know.

WIZARDS.

Pharmacy Wrote:>SCIENCE down that table.

Wessolf27 Wrote:>Practice your new form first before anything.

[Image: BT67.png]

Surprisingly, just figuring out how to walk with six legs is almost enough to push your BUSINESSGAUGE into the positives (or at least halfway there). Your intrinsic business skill is just that high, you guess.

You really hope there's no security cameras or a magical equivalent in here. You'd hate to have someone see you running around in circles like an idiot.

Steve Potluck Wrote:Dive from the table, through the hole, and straight into one of the barrels. Maybe one of them is labeled "human transformation juice".

[Image: BT68.png]

Well that would certainly be convenient, wouldn't it? But hey, you can already feel the liquid doing something. You're beginning to feel cleansed after just a few seconds in the stuff. This could be it!

[Image: BT69.png]

...That is, if "it" referred to "a whole lot of nothing, and maybe getting yourself soaked in some sticky red stuff". This might have been great if you were actually wounded, but apparently turning into a lizard thing doesn't count as a wound. You'd beg to differ on that personally.

On the bright side, this stuff seems to be cherry-flavored. Delicious.

You're really not sure how helpful these two barrels will be in your current situation. Notably, the "Ale" barrel seems to be at a much lower level than the others. You really have no idea what effect dragon's blood might have on you if you drink it. You're pretty sure it's not even legal to own that much without being a blood donation center.

Dragons save lives too.

[Image: BT71.png]

A couple of these look rather menacing, although you're not sure which of the two you can see clearly looks worse. The levitation barrel looks useful, although you have no idea what's in the furthest back. You could probably make the jump to the mutation barrel, or possibly the dragon's blood one. From there you think you could make it to some of the others, if necessary.

As an aside, it seems as though the barrels have some sort of enchanted labels on them - the writing faces you no matter where you happen to be. You suspect the wizard was just lazy.
