He walks out of the room and slams the door harder than ever before. A small object falls from the ceiling and strikes me in the head.

I probably should more often. I don't remember my real name anymore. I don't remember how I got here. They call me Amalgam. I have been injected with the magically enriched blood of sentient beings fifty times.

I am not certain which is myself and which is the voices I hear.

Let's take the blood sample and peek outside the door to see what's around.

I have the blood sample now.

My abilities...

I know I can control my blood, so long as it it outside my body, like another limb.

I can solidify the blood in my skin so that attacks do not penetrate.

I can attempt to take over the blood of others, though this makes me feel strange.

Lastly, I can use blood to mutate myself further, though this makes me feel strange.

How should I get through the door?

I can only use blood outside of my body or blood I've taken control of, (though that will make me feel strange) and my body regenerates blood at the rate of a standard human. I think.

I peek out into the hall. This is a dead end that my cell is situated in, but heading out, I can either go right or left.

There is always more footsteps to the left and the sounds of conversation.

I could also take the man's blood for an infusion and increase my abilities, though that will make me feel strange.

I... it's hard to describe. It is like... I am losing parts of myself.

I keep the stolen blood nearby. Which way should I go? Should I reshape the blood into something else? If so, what?

>you have 4735 grams of blood available to construct objects. Keep in mind that focus must be maintained on the object, so the simpler the better.

I can also Inoculate the blood for improvement and mutation, with four Chosen mutations, or eight Random mutations, though this will cause strange feelings.


And I still am uncertain which direction to go in.

combine some blood with your needle so it takes the shape of a dagger. a dagger is both a weapon and a tool. head slowly left and listen, see if you can count how many voices are there. if more then 2 then go right.

>>225171
Try to avoid 'losing parts of yourself' any more than necessary. You already forgot much of who you are, more and you may be gone entirely. Save mutations for when you have no other way to progress or if the situation is truly dire.

Try forming some of the blood into a weapon. A sword if you can achieve an edge with it, otherwise just make something to bludgeon with. A shield might serve you well too if you can maintain two things at once.

Going the other way, the hall turns right again, then left into what appears to be another cellblock. Numbers 20-25 should be here if my memory is correct.

Looking behind the tapestry, I find a small cubbyhole. Inside is a syringe with a single dose of magically infused blood!

Magically infused blood is very very useful to me. It allows me to choose 2 mutations, and then two random mutations will occur. It should be noted that, due to the nature of the magical blood, I will not lose sense of self.

I don't feel the need to turn our body into a that of a beast, so physical alterations should be passed up in favor of defense.

causes a 7th mutation on the random mutation list. this 7th is always a good thing n matter why we are mutating. even if we get exposed to phazon or something :P

>You feel genetically stabilized.
goes well with chaos rune. makes it so that harmful mutations show up less.

>You feel more in tune with yourself.
this is the selection words for Sanity 1. she is now in tune with herself so she will lose san at a lower rate. even from specialized SAN reducing attacks.

I do not think any of them are weaker than myself. The floors are arranged by power, with the weakest closer to the surface and the strongest deep, deep underground. There is only two floors below me, where Subject 1 resides. I dare not go there. I have seen It once, encased in crystal that would not break, warping the view of what laid within.

It is my first memory I can recall. It is not a happy one.

The one who lead me there had bloody ears and eyes, his nose cut out. He stumbled, as if he did not know whereupon he stepped.

19 reminds me of 1 for reasons I cannot understand or clarify.

"...let me out, Thirty." it rumbles, slamming against the door in a tired display of aggression. "I want to eat you. I want to tear you. I want to wear your face."

The creature stands there, an impressive eight or nine feet tall and just as wide. Strange markings festoon bony outgrowths on its chest, shoulders, and hands, which are more like clubs. The growths on the chest undulate and move as it speaks, sending chills up my spine.

wait until the last moment and then hit the deck, letting him slam into the wall, and then run the other way. let twenty out and hope he slows 19 down some. then run through the room with the mages and just yell "19 IS LOOSE!" they will probably question what you are doing out but will decide they have bigger fish to fry.

I swing through the doorway into a very large room. Three absolutely enourmous tapestries adorn one wall, behind a small stage. There are, in bad repair, rows of pews lined up, all the way to the back of the room, where two staircases are, one leading up, the other down.

I feel a strange attraction to the latter.

Shaking it off, I note that the distant door has a sign that reads "LAB".

Scrawled graffiti... no, this is carved.

Remorse?
Fear?
Shame?

I am uncertain. All I know now is that I want out of here. They are fighting 19. They are losing.

You have regained some Sanity.

I move into the lab. It's sparse, as if recently cleaned out... or, rather, ransacked.

His eyes seem to be... warping, changing. He's speaking strangely.

he seems to be being taken over by something. dart forward and slay him before it is complete. then cut the lock off of the cabinet and open it up.

Ask him who he's talking about, while investigating the blue/red stuff under the table? Is that some kind of special blood we can nab?

Grey: More information would be nice, to add on top of his soon-to-be-coming explanation.

>There's not much I know about the Entity he speaks of, save that it is the bane of this world and yet its savior. The informant was not very... infromative...

"He is the taker of minds, the Living Madness! You must..."

I spear him through the face with my collected blood, and he falls over dead.

The debris on the floor? Dried blood and glass. The lock I can handle, but it might take a bit.

Even as I turn to attack the scientist I thought dead, his body twitches out of the way, pulled from my assault by an ebony tentacle. And another tears free from his back, pulling him to the ceiling as his robe blackens, and then I realize... it's the man's skin, pulled from beneath the cloak, stretched and mutated until it takes the form of a gristly robe. His eyes vanish into his skull, his mouth agape as blood runs down his cheeks. His hands warp, and as I watch, the skin upon them peeled away, then the muscle, then the bone itself melts into black ooze that reforms into long tendrils that reshape into vile mockeries of hands.

Then, finally, his heart rises from his chest, beating slowly, glistening in the open air.


Something about this stirs a very primal fear within my heart, a sympathetic feeling of loss and pain.

Well obviously it inspires sympathetic feelings. You're made of the same black stuff as he just melted into. Even if you can't remember it I doubt you can completely forget the pain.

For the future, don't kill people just because they annoy you, because then you end up having to fight with things like this

i said to kill him, not because he was annoying but because he looked like he was being taken over. which as you can see he was. may have gotten something worse if we didn't do it that soon.

With a scream, the creature throws the furniture to the back of the room, blue lines appearing breifly upon them as they lift up and nearly slam into me.

>>236849
The noise has died down. I doubt they are fighting anymore.

>>236848
>I'm not sure but the gigantic swollen beating heart might be something!


I attempt to strike at it, but he raises an arm swiftly, and iron-hard tendrils of flesh block my blade.

Damnit!

Use your electrical breath!

Also possibly hair tentacle stabbing.
>>
No. 240303 ID: c59f60

yes, a bolt directly to the heart.
>>
No. 240308 ID: 40cb26

Even if the electrical breath doesn't hit the heart directly it should stun or at least distract enough so you can get an opening to stab at it.
>>
No. 240315 ID: c59f60

>>240308
point, if it does just seem to stun him then split your blood hair in two and grab each of his 'hands' by the wrist to keep them still then stab.

I spew the lightning. It's not much -barely even a few tendrils- but they slide around the arms as if they aren't there, and almost seem to seek the heart.

They are both magically infused blood.

However...

The Yellow Blood is called Immortal Sanguination. It grants supreme defense against one attack, taking the power of immortality from Elves and Halflings. The cost is, however, that the area I inject it into becomes paralyzed for one hour.


The purple blood is called Retreading Ichor, and allows me to randomize one of my mutated traits. However, doing so will forever remove a single upgrade from the ones you can see upon using mutagenic blood.

Both papers also note that each vial comes with a certain number of doses, the power behind them such that a single dose is all that is required for their effect.
