[Adventure] The Predicament of Mr. Gimo Tine [Judge:?]

"Yay! We defeated the bad guys!" She jumps up and down with excitement. "However, there appears to be a giant slime demon."

"Nice sot Mikara, but next time, try to keep teh colateral daamge farther from me. I almost felt." Tells Jarel-Karn, sheeting his sword. "Everyone is ok?"

"Wha... 'appened...?" mutters the still conscious fighter.

In the floor, the slime creature degrades quickly. If someone wants to identify it, they better be quick, the thing is liquefying!

Jarel-karn starts to ponder on the nature of the blast as he approach the slime humanoid. "Strange creature. But doesn't seems to be summoned, or I guess it would have vanished, not dehydrating."

[SBLOCK=OOC]Arcana (1d20+12=22)[/SBLOCK]

Jarel-karn is able to device that this creature has been altered, as by a transmutation spell. Although he is not entirely sure how.

"Someone should tie that fellow up," mutters Morvannon as he slumps to the floor. Taking a few moments to collect himself, he levers up to a standing position and makes his way to Jarel-Karn's side.

*Have you ever seen anything like this?*
*long time ago. silly wizards mess with what is to make what should not be*
*Is that why it's falling apart?*
*likely. looks better this way though*
*.....You're not being sarcastic, are you?*
*nope*

*In fact, I remember one of these things. I encounter it in the underdark. But I can't quite remember where... Anyway, better dead like it is now, isn't it?*

Mikara probes the stuff with an arrow, continuing on Jare-karn's observation, "Yeah, but I wonder what it was before it was altered."[sblock=Nature]1d20+12=32! Nat 20![/sblock]

Mikara is sure this "thing" used to be a woman, a human woman, of arguably, good social position, as his dentition is almost perfect, and her body shape, besides being covered in slime and other putrefactive substances, looks quite good. Somehow, she has a six sense that she might have been called Martha.

3/0

Bell ignores the call to tie the solider up for the moment, watching the slime, and letting everyone's words swirl around in her head.
