Post-Transformation Analysis

With the transformations from the slime suddenly coming to a halt, the party takes some time to examine the results of the changes.

Gauronne's SLG stone appears to still be functional, so he uses it to document the transformations they have undergone after he has sufficiently recovered from the magical effects he has undergone.

Although his voice occasionally sounds a little odd, he (and anyone else transformed by the slime) seems to be able to speak properly after a few moments of practice and retraining himself (or herself); his hands, though skinned a little oddly, seem to be almost fully functional [basically, I'll make clear any pertinent changes, so if I don't mention something, you can assume that things operate within the range of normality] ; and his mind appears to be operating in the same way, so he deduces that there is probably no reason not to attempt to use his magic.

[Gauronne casts Probe at a cost of 1 MP on each of the transformed party members, at a total cost of 4MP]

Through his analysis, magical and otherwise, Gauronne learns the following:
  • Aside from the mostly cosmetic changes, and the few small, but more fundamental physiological and anatomical changes, the bodies and minds of the slimed party members seem to be normal. [Therefore, all Humanity scores are at normal levels, at least for the time being.]
  • Magical tattoos appear to be functioning as normal; as for any hair/wool/fur/feathers out of the area, they do not appear to have any particular magical properties. [Since the dye is in the underlying skin, rather than what grows out of it.]
  • For the time being at least, the transformations seem to have stabilized. However, being as they are in a transformed state, slimed party members will be more susceptible to being transformed in the future (in that any ; any future transformations while still in the state will have the effect of increasing the amount of transformation done to the body, or making the current transformations permanent, or something along those lines.
  • [As for the horn penalty; Gauronne is aware that he can perform the attack, and that it might addle his brains for a bit, but isn't aware of the exact nature of the effect on his Arcane level.]
  • [Similarly, the others are "aware" that they may be capable of something new, but the precise nature of the advantages/disadvantages of each probably aren't known.]
It is still late - or early, depending on how you look at it, and the party haven't had that much sleep. On the other hand, it might be prudent to ensure that they are safe from any more transforming slimes or other dangerous hazards by exploring what's beyond the door before they settle down again.

  2. Kit gives Xandre a hug, and pets her on the head a bit. "Dont worry. It'll be fine, Sarah. You wont be a monster."

  3. After giving himself a full pat down, aka checking his legs, feeling up his horns, etc. Mephis picks up his weapons, unseathed of course, his heart rate already calmed down from the sudden and rather painful transformation into some .. sort of deer man. He dares not speak as his actions speak for themselves, already prosed and ready to kick the door down as hard as he can, but not ready to do it yet, due to .. well, not having notified anyone of his plan.

  5. Gauronne attempts to reassure the girl: "Sarah, it is not one's appearance that makes one a monster; rather, it is one's mind and behavior. The fact that you are capable of being concerned about your humanity is, itself, a most hopeful sign, and I commend you for it. However, if you find your current physical form to be disquieting, perhaps I can assist you by attempting to cancel the magic of your transformation? Before you answer that question, you should know that I am not familiar with this magic, and so I cannot confidently state that I will succeed. Indeed, I cannot confidently state that I will not enhance your transformation! But if you are willing to accept that risk, I will try to restore you to your former, normal, body."

  6. Kit continues to try to comfort Sarah over the subject. "Maybe you did. But for the fact that it didn't just simply slip under the door, or pick th elock, maybe it was just on a little exploration and happened to come across us. Who knows? Maybe *I* alerted it since I fired first? It's not like we can ask it. It's dead. Besides, I think you look kind of cute, so it's not an entirely negative result, is it?" He flashes Guaronne a look, in case he decides that he is serious about what he'd just said. He wasn't. Obviously, a transformation of 1/3 of the party was unfavorable, given the extension of the transformations, but he was trying his best to at least help her feel better.

  7. (OOC: I made a mistake. 4/6 would be 2/3, not 1/3. if you include Kit's transformation, that makes 5/6)
