Xenolinguistics. You can't really dance when you're tied to a bed, can you?

I'm sure that once Bob finds Nigel again, friendship blossoms will bloom all over the place.

YES

That, or Interpretative Dance. I remain unconvinced xenolinguistics could help Drip, as he seems unable to talk. And doesn't have ears.

You still cannot afford SPACE WALNUTS.

Interpretive dance. I think much of the charm coming from the young drip comes from his aloofness to the natives' actual intelligence.

As much as Xenolinguistics would be useful for the character, I'd say that dialogue in this adventure should be as little as possible. So I'd say no to that, even though it's not a bad suggestion.

Interpretive Dance seems pretty good, though.

ALEA IACTA EST!

Interpretive dance

INTERPRETIVE DANCE has been added to your SKILLS.


Although you have EVOLVED to level 4, you are still strapped down in this unenviable position with the MALEVOLENT WITCH DOCTOR and his CANNIBAL APPRENTICE attending to you.

They seem a bit bemused and disgruntled, probably because their HYPODERMIC ETHNOBOTANICAL injection failed to affect you. The ATTENDANT seems prepared to stab you again.

What now?

>Skill: INTIMIDATE ALIEN WITCHDOCTORS

You use your newly enhanced INTIMIDATE Skill against these SAVAGES. You particularly target the approaching ATTENDANT.


Success! The ATTENDANT has been INTIMIDATED and flees the room.

>Skill: TRANSMOGRIFY INTO A SNAIL

Time to escape these bonds!
You do your best to TRANSMOGRIFY into something akin to the long-extinct SNAIL.

You have successfully escaped the restraint!

The WITCH DOCTOR seems neither INTIMIDATED nor impressed with your TRANSMOGRIFICATION.

Turn around, then de-transmogrify to escape the restraints and NOT get back into it.

Perform an interpretive dance conveying your situation. As a snail.

Perform an interpretive dance conveying your situation. As a snail.

You attempt to convey, through the medium of INTERPRETIVE DANCE, the fact that you have crash landed on this planet and are here to bring these GODLESS SAVAGES the wonders of proper CIVILIZATION.

Your INTERPRETIVE DANCE Skill may be too low to properly transmit this information at this time.

> Oh just escape already. But not in snail form.

You TRANSMOGRIFY back into your normal form.

It's a bit disconcerting; your eyes itch.

You hop down from the metal platform and approach the exit.

The WITCH DOCTOR is over here, and appears to have prepared a SMALL RED DART. It looks unsettlingly familiar.
