---Game Unpause----

The darkness roils and swirls. It is disorienting. You were a parasite. Or were you not the host a moment ago? It’s a moot point now. You are a consciousness adrift. Where? None can say, however you are aware of two points of light cutting away the darkness a head. Your will slithers closer, causing the lights to grow into strange bubbles of sensation. You focus on the first. A stream of feeling overtakes your soul, blotting out your thought.

HUNGER:SPREAD:GROW:PLOT:CONTROL:POSSES:MINE:MINE:MINE

You pull back. It’s what you know to be yourself. A Parasite. The familiar call of the mass, beginning to reawaken after it’s cannibalistic and trans-consciousness ordeal. It is eager to return to infecting the host. Before you drift back from this strange vision you gaze into the other bubble. A familiar tinge of sensations leaks through, much quieter than the mass. There is only one sound and one emotion. A constant beeping noise and a feeling of resentment.

“Time to get up..again….”

A tugging feeling hooks at the back of your mind. You must choose one.

[] The call of the Mass
[] “Wake Up”

Fuck you mysterious deep distant master voice, crucible protocol was totally a worthwhile long term investment.

Sorry about that. Voters going to vote.

>[] The call of the Mass

The beeping is annoying. Human sensations are annoying. You didn’t like it when you subsumed the host, why would you want to go through that again so soon? The mass calls and you answer, throwing yourself into the roiling sensations familiar to yourself. A flash and you are back. Aware. In control. A parasite once again. It is good.

You can sense your infiltration into the various tissue structures. Your senses tell you that time has passed and that you are not alone anymore. You are unsure how, something filters through the visceral nerves, but there are two distinct presences in the host, Your Host! A large mass in the gut writhes away while the other seems to be swimming through the host’s blood. Outrage! How do you respond?

The immune is not controlled from the brain. If you wanted to really suppress or control an immune response the lymph nodes would be the location to infect. You already control those in the upper right leg, but have done nothing but keep tabs on the immune system.

[]Patrol:Recon:Learn:Mass

You halt your progression and growth. The host isn’t going anywhere, figuratively and literally. These invaders. Usurpers. Scum. You will find out who they are, learn what they are and then you will see who’s host this is. You shift your mass around, flaring near the major artery you connected with and tapping into the screaming nerves reporting all sorts of sensations. You quiet your mass, trying to take in all that isn’t you or the host.

The blood vessel reports first. Three things, flat and broad twist and swim lazily down the vessel. The drink deeply of the host’s blood and fluids, even nipping at the tissue. Fluke. The deep voice roils. You hate it but the blood is a dangerous place for your cells. You know the host has many defenses there. Before you can lash out quickly at the Flukes something wrenches the host. Pain. The feeling ripples through your own mass, conducted along the nerves. The gut, the scream. SOMETHING IN THE GUT! And something is there. You can hear it, slowly gnawing away at the host. Your host. Larva, your subconscious guide mentions. It’s wriggling somewhere in the Host’s digestive track, far from your influence. It isn't causing much damage but it is growing. Your orders.

This is your host, you will suffer not the larva to live. You marshal a million cells to rip into the cut. You burn through meat and sinew, breach the peritoneal cavity, throwing down infiltration sentries as you go. You can sense the invader in the stomach, lazily grazing at its lining. The stomach is in rough shape. There are small tears in the wall, leaking acid, blood and chyme. You pick and opening and surge through the openings and pour into the searing cauldron. Your mass hangs from the wall, clinging to the mucous lining. It’s there that you see the contents of his gut stir and well. You sense it. The enemy. A great and massive worm like thing, slick body and sharp teeth. It has no eyes, neither do you, but you both lock eyes and stream pure parasitic hate at each other. The giant lunges at your mass. The fight begins.

Your mass packs into a tight ball and flings itself into the gaping maw of the larva. It is a mindless thing. You can feel no intelligence from the way it’s motor tissue relaxes, thinking it has eaten you. It was wise to attack this creature from the inside. The soft cells of the creature are easy to puncture and infiltrate, unlike its acid proof hide. Unfortunately you are not resistant to the acidic gullet of the creature and it begins to eat away at your mass. You must act quickly.

why

>>31965753
the system doesn't matter compared to how much players taking huge risks does.

>>31965769
To be fair, a 45 out of 100 on a normal roll under system isn't a huge risk.

>>31965769
3d100 take highest has really, really warped /tg/'s grasp of probabilities.

>>31965780
Compared to a roll under 85?

less than a 1 in 2 chance of succeeding is not good odds.

>>31965780
>fair
>on a normal roll under system
then that's not a fair comparison at all it's irrelevant.

risky is relative. considering there was an option with dramatically more than 50% chance of success.

there was clearly a less than 50% chance of success either way. it's not the system's fault players are greedy.

If you guys really want to change the system to the normal Set DC and take highest we can do that. From what I've experienced the dice pool on /tg/ is somewhat warped and averaging seems to be a good way to even it out. I'm not god so if you think another way is better its your game.

>>31965841
keep the averaging. ignore the blame the system types

>>31965841
Taking the highest vastly inflates the average. for 3d20 take highest, the single most probable value is 20.

>>31965823
>>31965800
I voted for the 85 option.

It's not that I think it's likely, just not exceptionally UNlikely. It's just slightly lower than the average, meaning it has a slightly(!) lower chance of happening.

>>31965841
>averaging seems to be a good way
It isn't.
>I'm not god
It's still your quest even if I don't like certain things

>>31965841

Well averaging means that players will always play it safe no matter what the possible reward.

I'm fine either way, but having to play it safe all the time is kind of boring.

Taking the two best rolls of a d100 is usually a good system.

Shadow Quest uses such a system and crits are mostly rare.

>>31965841

Average generally suck. If you want to use smaller numbers, just use more and smaller dice.

No averaging it is then. Lowest of three rolls for Roll Under.

It stings and burns and you do not like being digested one bit. You let your cells lash out, trying to bite through the larva’s stomach and work your way into its tissues, but your attempt is stopped short by a tough layer of tissue lining its gut. Did you think it would be so easy to burn through an acid proof stomach? You bunch your mass tighter to avoid being completely burned, only losing a bit of your mass. Your attack as left a sizable dent in the creature’s gullet. It would be easier to break through this time, though do you continue?

We should target the fat deposits, we should be able to massive increase our numbers there with only minimal harm to host

>>31967021

Fair enough. It is important that we keep the host healthy though...who knows, eventually a symbiotic rather than parasitic relationship may develop and our mycelium will rule the world through our proxy-superman.

>>31967121
I would love to do it with the body. But for the brain I am thinking we rip all knowledge from the host, wipe personality, and then enhance and integrate with remaining brain to form a hyper intellect, growing our personality into the hybrid mode rather than merging with him or mycon forbid, becoming subservient to him

>Not merging with the host's mind

What. Why not.

>>31967418
Because the host is food and a convenient transportation vector. Not a person.

>>31967484
Technically, -we- aren't a person and the host is.
Too many things to go wrong if we do a hard wipe; better to integrate into the host's mind and gently (or sometimes not so gently) puppeteer. Another sounding board couldn't hurt.

>>31967418
Why would you commit personality suicide by merging your personality with that of another?

I want to merge with the hardware
I do not want the software. (personality, emotional baggage, ethics, loyalties, etc)

As for the memories. Fun fact, the human brain has different areas responsible for different memories. "Muscle memory" is actually a segment of the brain. Face identification memory a different one.
Anyways, bunch of different memory centers, the ones responsible for personality and personal history should be either discarded or analyzed externally, like reading a book

>>31967555
>Hard wipe
Only the personal history and maybe the frontal lobe need to be scrambled. And if they are completely annihilated we still achieve out goal.

>>31967555
>Technically, -we- aren't a person and the host is.
what? of course we are a person. We are a sapient being.

>>31967587
Well, when it comes to that we'll see what gets voted on!

>>31967606
Are we actually sapient? I thought we were simply running on instinct.

>>31967121
>symbiotic
not this shit again.

gag me, not a diplomancing fungus.

>>31967627
You are a sentient fungal infection.
The depths and specifics of which are unknown, however you do have a concept of self and other and can recognize/express this.
Most of what you experience is the distillation of instinct and chemical receptors.
As seen before, in cases of extreme stress you can lose control of the mass and go unconscious, resulting in the mass reverting to your base instincts.
So far your instincts have been to cautiously invade the host nervous system and avoid tissue damage, however you react violently towards any threat.

>>31967756
>gag me, not a diplomancing fungus.
So much this
although to be fair, symbiotic could result in perfect melding so instead of diplomacy bullshit we have a new gestalt entity 100% controlled by tg.

>>31967855
This.
>Not wanting to be a fungal Borg

>>31967121
In addition to the above. The last time you directly interacted with the host you made his leg dance and twitch as you laughed at his terror. So far you have not looked upon the host with any indication of "symbiosis"

>>31967627
>actually sapient?
not only are we self-aware, our consciousness somehow controls all our cells despite no apparent physical connection to them (see the sentinel cysts and our current disconnected piece in the larva's stomach)

not to mention the external deep voice in our head.

we're clearly a psychic fungus.

We'll be symbiotic.

In hell.

>>31967855
that's not perfect melding that's perfect control.

look it's us or them. does it look like we're SHARING control of his leg?

>>31967868
The thing is, if you look above the "destroy local personality and consume their knowledge" suggestion is the one that is actually borg, not the "merge perfectly giving each an equal voice"

The borg are mind controlled drones

>>31967917
Maybe if he asks nicely we can do a little jig for him.

Or eat his brains from the inside out and make a horrific fungal fleshpuppet.

Whichever.

>>31967880
There is usually a direct biochemical link between your mass and the sentinels. Sentinels are encysted cell masses ~10-20 that occupy a territory and maintain the mycilleum network. These cells feed on natural free nutrients and create infectious mass at a slow rate.

Cells have to be above a certain mass size to connect to and control "wirelessly". If they drop below a certain threshold and distance combination then you will lost control and they will go feral. You do not know yet how and by what mechanic this works, yet.

You recently disconnected your consciousness from the fungal mass and possessed your host for a time. This had some strange effects.

>>31967831

We'll probably treat the flukes with less severe measures, but this larva was highly dangerous.

>>31968217
well, the flukes are worth reintegrating
then again, it might be possible to assimilate this larvae thing

>>31968718
Yeah we're about to become the Xzibit parasite.

>>31968718

Yeah, the flukes aren't causing massive damage to the host like this larva is. They're much softer targets too.

>>31967989
>You recently disconnected your consciousness from the fungal mass and possessed your host for a time. This had some strange effects.
Oh, yeah I thought it was odd we somehow assumed direct control when we hadn't reached the brain yet....

...apparently there's a metaphysical bypass there. With a great disadvantage of course.
