clearly it needs those other three sticks for its crab square

You snap your claws and give a friendly, although a bit formal, greeting to the crab in the hole. No reply is given, but this crab friend seems to beckoning you to join them

well I'm down, but I'm wondering about breath spray. is that . . . good or bad for a crab? are crabs expected to have stinky breath? is there maybe some rotting seaweed-scented breath spray that might enhance our charisma?

vanisher

You attempt the hole

It's pitch black except for what appears to be a small glowing flame some ways into the hole

The oldest crab begins to tell us a tale...

Interesting, I didn't think most crabs had tails. Oh tale yay!

vanisher

once, long ago, a sea creature of immeasurable size washed ashore on this beach. It had no pincers. Instead it had long slimy appendages and a bulbous head. Our top crabologists studied the beast, but were unable to figure out how it lived, for it had no protective shell. It took every crab working together to drag the heavy carcass under this protective metal bunker. We have been using it as a food source, but with your gift, we think we have developed the ultimate crab weapon.

Gift? What gift?

Oh poo poo were we supposed to bring a gift for our kind hosts? Quick fashion something out of whatever we have in our inventory!

the beasts slimy skin had a unique suction power, so strong only our finest crab pincer warriors could break its seal. attempts to wield the tentacles with our pincers would be fraught with trouble, as the flesh would tear in our grasp. Using the tool you gave us gives us a handle to wield the appendage, granting he who holds the weapon a formidable advantage against virtually any crab adversary

excellent plan

also we should hint that, at great expense and personal risk, we might be able to locate one or two more of the tool we provided

no promises mind you

We ask to borrow it real quick for something not murder related

We could probably work out some kind of trade

We hint that we have seen many such creatures in our time and may be able to bring back lots of food stores

You've seen some of these things? Would you train our crabologists in how to capture and defeat these creatures?

well I actually meant implying that we could locate more sticks, but this is fine, let's run with this

You begin to explain that they live deep under water, and that they are predators, often hunting crabs for food. They are very tricky to kill and many crabs might be lost in such a battle, but you have seen carcasses underwater before and could perhaps bring back a sucker or two.

The crabologists are extremely impressed with your worldliness and knowledge

We could also gather a couple sticks you tell the crab guy

We would gladly trade our weapon for sticks

so hmm fellow crab adventure participants, we seem to have some options! they include:

(a) fetching some sticks to further impress our new friends
(b) taking that tentacle-on-a-stick and trying to scale the mysterious shiny cylinder to see what's inside
(c) starting to organize an expedition to hunt or scavenge a giant suckered sea creature

I'm down with (c) as a longer-term goal, but what about the others in the interim? maybe we should tell them we're gonna run out and try to get some more sticks, we'll return pretty soon, but we'd like to borrow the tentacle; and then maybe see how quickly-easily we can explore the slick metal object

alnilam

crab,

The crab king has decided to make you a crabologist because of your worldliness and knowledge

We step outside to gather some sticks because you know, the awesome sucker weapon is a good thing to have



Somehow all the sticks have dissapeared
