The Crystal Sslugs of the Test

[Diamond Master]

The tiny Sslug is not reacting well to the new programming. It has caused strange leglike protrusions to erupt from its sides - a manifestation of what it has been instructed to do, as its programmings are tied in directly to its crystalline avatar.

[Great Thrash]

The image is amusing. Does it still burn a trail? Does it seem to mind the protrusions?

[Diamond Master]

The small Sslug's efficacy is detracted. Being mindless, it can hardly protest whatever happens to it.

It does still burn a trail.

[Yerkan of Elish]

"I'm half tempted to try a few other functions on this thing, see if we can generate anything useful out of it."

[Great Thrash]

Fine with me. I'll crush it if something goes wrong.

[Ptah]

I look at the mutilated Sslug with little expression - regret, if anything.

"Can you crush it, Thrash?"

[Great Thrash]

I think it might be a good idea no matter what we find out.

"Kill it before it grows", as it were.

[Steepest Durin]

Ta arms! Ta arms! We must bring a furious battle ta th' Sslugs. We must rain down blow after blow, until they succumb, one by one!

How does a reroll work? Can we keep rollin' once each hrairweek, or what?

[Great Thrash]

Magma pours from wounds I took in the last round of battle and runs down my back. Flames spring from along the ridgelines of my arms and ignites between my clenched fingers.

To arms!

I wade in, swinging fists, throwing fire, and sending chasms to the slimy pseudopods of the Sslugs.

[Great Thrash]

Am I allowed to kill the baby Sslug?
