If she's been in a fort the entire time then she's probably not a tracker.
Does she know where the next closest human town is?
If so, go that way. If not, then follow whatever path has the most tracks.

>>212285
Ask your new friend what landmarks lie in each of the directions of tracks.

More importantly, ASK HER NAME.

>>212282
>pretty goo vision

On a more serious note, do the different trails have anything to really differentiate them?

>>212285
Wow, the orks really did a number on this place.

Follow the tracks that follow a road. That should take you to some more civilised areas.

which path is closest to chris' place? take that one.

>>212285
Remember where you waited for him before? See if any tracks head that way!

Most trails look the same to me... I'm not good at tracking.
One is heading to where I met chris though so I go that way.
Once I get there I notice that it just leads further into the woods. If Chris were here he might've left a sign or something..

>"Hey there's another village like a day away from here!"

Well... I could either go there or continue down this path..

>>212290
Oh her name's Nalik.

>>213376
There's water nearby, so fill up. After that go down the path aways to see if anybody is there. If not, then turn around and head for the next town.

Don't forget to call out for not only Chris, but other survivors as well.

>>213376
Where was your barrel? The orcs fought him there. THAT is where you can find his trail.

>>213378
ah yes, near there would be a good starting point.

>>213376
Fill up on water and then follow the path you're on.

I continue along the path and shout out Chris's name as a go. Further into it I see someone ahead. I move as fast as I can to them but when I get there I see it isn't Chris. Any other tracks stop at this point.

The person is bleeding and asleep

>"Curi... You'd better not think of taking this kid along,"

"Why not? She's hurt."

>"Cause that's another mouth to feed and I don't have any rations."

The person is still asleep and probably wouldn't notice if I left...

Take her!

tell her you wont be taking them with you everywhere, just tell them that the orcs are gone and point them to a more densely populated path.

A day away? Can go without food for much longer than that, ok the injured person will slow you down, but still.

It's not like you're going to keep her as a pet, but she needs help. Just tell Nalik that you can just help her get to that village, it's where you're going anyways right? Besides she might know something important about what happened here so you should at least talk to her.

Remember why you are out here in the first place! You don't prove your kind the friends of the land races by leaving them bleeding by the side of the road.

>>213859
Take her with you. You're going to be heading to the next town anyway after all, and if Nalik doesn't have any rations then she's going to have to scrounge up food anyway.
You, as usual, will be eating grass and such.

If it helps, show her your devious side by explaining that injured folk can't afford to be picky about their rescuers, and the more people indebted to you, the easier it'll be to help your race!

Say that by saving the girl, she'll be indebted to Nalik. Appeal to her greed!

>>213859

Information has value. Should the girl survive, she could give you relevant information.

If food is a problem you can go hunting. You should be a rather deadly ambush predator, even naked and unarmed. If that's not the case, your goblin friend should be able to tell you what sorts of forage in the area the human could eat.

Bring her along and try to slip into a rabbit burrow to hunt down a few rabbits for food. You should be perfect for that.

"But the nearest town is only a day away."

>"No, we can't be slowed down like this."

"If we save her she'll be in your debt."

>"...... Fine, but we're dumping her off at the nearest inn. Can you carry him."

I pick up a twig and press it against my skin. It dissolves completely in a few seconds.

>"Oh, right."

She picks up the beast girl and we head off the road again. The nearest town is a days walk. I hope the Chris made it there..

>"So this Chris guy must mean a lot to you."

"He is... A friend."

>"Uh huh~"

the beast girl seems to be stable but she's still unconscious.. It's late now so we can either pitch a tent near the stream or continue on our journey.

ask Nalik how she feels about traveling at night. if she wants to keep moving then keep moving.

>>214799
Discuss it with your traveling partner.

Ask her, only fair. Uh, do you roll over in the night?

she sets up the tent. I wish I could help but all I can do at the moment is stand by and watch. Once she finishes she wishes me goodnight and drags the girl inside with her.

I don't really mind sleeping outside. It's a bit lonely though.

What!? What's going on!?

I lay there in puddle form and stay there. I hear footsteps come closer and closer. Soon I feel a boot step on me. I hear a sizzle as leather is melted off the man screams in pain and jumps back.

>"OW! What the hell!? An ooze!?"

>>215035
Call for your buddies to wake up, then reform yourself behind this guy.

"This is GOD speaking. This is holy ground."

What does this fellow look like?

Also, out of curiosity, could you completely envelop a person if you had to?

get a good look at him but stay in puddle form. "well excuse me, maybe you should watch what you are stepping on"

>"What the hell!? Magic Missle!"

The spell hits me and I feel myself ripped apart into a bunch of pieces. Some of the smaller ones die while the bigger chunks try to move away.

>"An enchanted Ooze!"

The person attacking me is a taleish male wizard and... I can't think well right now.

Cry out for help from your mage friend. Scream as loud as you can. Pain, agony, etc.

ugh, claiming godhood is never a good idea, jeez, this sucks. only option now is to eat his legs, so do that.

Beg for mercy! Say you're sorry! AND RUN LIKE HELL.

>>215093
No eating people!

>>215090
Much better, yes. Call out for help!

Also say you're a Slime Child, not enchanted or anything. And gather up your pieces!

>>215087
Tell him you're a slimechild and beg for your life.

Try to gobble up the pieces trying to escape as well. Don't want them free out there terrorising the countryside.

GUYS! our only help is talik and she is sleeping, we may be able to wake her up but she will be too groggy to do anything fast enough.

if you REALLY REALLY want to stay non-confrontational then grab any parts of you that are in range and move behind the tent as fast as you can.

>>215087
Scream "MURDER! BLOODY MURDER!"

>>215087
"HEY! I had my acid removed. Mind being nicer!?"

Mumble "I come in peace, take me to your leader".

Don't tell him anything. Don't think hard. Get your blobs and make them you again. Find water. Hide.

"Just a joke, jeeze"

If you can manage it, tell him you're sorry and mean no harm. Otherwise/Afterwards, gather yourself and form up.

The second missle hits me again sending more pieces flying. Some slide far away and out of my reach, others lay there dead. I try my best to run but I can hear him catching up.

Why won't anyone help me?

get behind the tent and just hide. maybe eat a tree. also, you may really need to reconsider your stance on not hurting people. some people don't care what you can say or do, only that you are a slime, they deserve leg melting.

I think a one or two warning system would be best.

>>215443
"HELP! A MONSTER IS HURTING ME!"

Okay, this is kind of a last ditch effort, and it might make things awkward in the long run, but at least you might have a long run.

"...I...love...you..."

Later you can claim loopiness from trauma.
Hopefully it will put him off balance and make him consider what he's doing. If not at least you might be able to run a bit further. Maybe enough to drop into the nearby stream as a last, last resort.

He stops. I look back to see someone holding the wizards arm.

>"Garret, what are you doing?"

>"Uhm... Killing the ooze..."

>"Why?"

>"... cause... It's an ooze.. ya know?"

>"Did it attack you at any point? Is it attacking now?"

>"Well no.. But it could!"

>"Your logic is flawed. Cease this attack now and return to camp. We need our rest for tomorrow."

The wizard humphs and walks back to where he came from. I see my savior, he is a elf wearing travel gear. He carries with him a small sword but little else.

>"Go on little creature. My men will bring you no harm."

>>215465
Thank him. Tell him you won't forget this favor.

Also warn him about what happens to bits of you when they stay severed for too long.

>>215465
Tell him that you were just sleeping when someone stepped on you. You didn't intend to harm anyone but that freaking hurt and you really need some help to get back the missing pieces of yourself and some extra water or food.

>>215465
Ask if they have seen a wizard by the name of Chris, and if they could help the girl.

>>215465
First priority: collect your pieces before they get away!

Second priority: thank the man for saving you.

yes, tell him that you need to suck up the bits and anything organic is edible, it's fine if he has nothing, you'll just eat a ton of grass or something.

Thank him, for the love of everything sacred and pure. Wait, they didn't attack your green friend too did they?! Wouldn't put it past them!

"P-Please, we need to gather my pieces!"

without a moments hesitation the man uses his blade to carry the pieces of me back. A small part are dead but most of it is okay. I reform and look at the man. He studies me for a bit then gives a small smile.

>"A humanoid slime hmm? I'm afraid I couldn't gather everything, would you like something to eat to make up for what you lost? It is the least I can do."

I nod and the man produces a small brown square. He hands it to me and I waste no time eating it. When I'm done he gives me another square.

"Thank you."

>"It is the least I can do. Tell me, what are you doing out here?"

I explain my story again. The man listens and nods, he does not interrupt except to ask the occasional question. I ask him if he's seen a wizard named chris.

"If he is lucky he would have escaped the attack. Most residents have fled north for protection."

>>215484
Ask him if they're heading north. And if they would possibly be capable of taking care of a poor injured beastgirl.

ask if he has anything or knows anyone that can heal the person you picked up.

He looks somewhat relieved.

He gives her a quick look over.

Thank him for showing compassion to three such unique folk such as yourselves.

say sure, but ether he needs to carry her or he needs to wake up talik and have her carry.

Say you'd hug him, but that you're afraid of hurting him.

Or that you'd let him use your orfice if you had one...
OR something of somesort...

Say thanks, and inform him of your inability to help carry her, though he prob'ly knows since you ate a boot.

>>215507
I agree that say that we would hug him if we could is a good idea, and we can also use the opportunity to ask if he knows how to prevent our acid damage to people. Who knows, maybe he can do something?

He picks up the injured girl and steps out of the tent.

And with that he leaves. For some reason I think he doesn't like Talik..

>>215610
Darn.. He left to fast for me to ask.

>>215809
Hmm, wake up Talik and tell her what's happened. Then when he gets back you can ask him if you can travel with their party to the north.

it's called racism, elves and goblins don't really get along. but the fact that he didn't attack outright shows that he is able to restrain himself though.

We don't even have a way to wake people up, do we? Can't hold anything or touch them.

How about we just wander around a little and eat grass or plants and drink water to recover from the Magic Missile damage?

It's not racism. It's just the snoring was hurting his delicate ears. you can see the amazement in his eyes that your fuzzy eared companion was so injured not to wake and slap the shit out of that gobbo in attempt to drown out the elephantine sonorations. I mean goddamn watch out or you might start attracting moose.

Uhm... I'm sensing some anger going on here... I don't think he'll let Talik join him.

>>218901
Explain to the goblin that this man saved your life.

they hate each other because a long time ago goblins and elves fought each other. and while the war is over they haven't forgotten about it. the fact that they live so long means that they could still have members of the race who were in it. racism is irrational so no matter what you say it wont help them make up.

and yes, explain to talik that he saved your life so he deserves SOME respect.

They don't have to be friends. We're not going to be tagging along for that long.

>>218901
He might. But there's probably some bad blood between elves and goblins. You could try pleading and reasoning with them. Put on your most naive and pathethically adorable face and ask them why they're being mean to each other and if this means that you won't get to find your friend again.
