vanisher posted:We attempt the keypad to see if a random series of button smashing will open the door, but it appears to be powered down. as a yobcrab we are obligated to try all the funny numbers just in case if/when that doesn't work, the conveyor belt is interesting. are there obvious controls for the mechanism? can we turn it on/off etc? the rest quarters are also noteworthy and are probably worth checking out before actually scuttling down the conveyor belt, but it might be helpful to know our options in case we need to leave in a hurry |

Twenty Four posted:New (old?) crab friend must know where the funace is, and, if we could take the sticks there and burn it down and make that happen so be it! before we get too into trying to torch the place, I'd sorta like to see if we can locate and rescue any other crabs who might be pincing involuntarily duckson can be our beard if we get caught, we can pretend to be salves under his wing, so to speak Munchables posted:Give thr grizzled crab a sip if ezood, but ONLY a sip is there any left? sure we can offer our new friends a nip if so |

Twenty Four posted:It may not be the best idea, but when I see dials, I want to turn things to eleven. there will be a time for messing with stuff, but now is perhaps not that time - I'd say let's peep the crab quarters before touching the controls what's the thing twisting through the middle of the map? is that the conveyor belt we rode in on? are the areas marked A, B, C, D workstations or something?

woah "greetings fellow crablings! I'm here on a quest for tools to help my crab friends in the outside world, but also to investigate and see if I can be of any help to the crabs here. tell me about yourselves! what is this place, what are you doing here, and are you in need of any assistance?"

I say we go for duckson. the other crabs can take care of themselves for a while, the duckson rescue(?) is more urgent. also it would be good to get closure on that egg. |

I guess we don't know whether the truck is full of ezood or empty but let's be optimistic, maybe it's full should we maybe puncture a tire? with our claws or our cool tool? that would keep it around, we may have uses for the ezood I don't see us driving the truck, although maybe I underestimate us

Twenty Four posted:Anyhow if driving sounds... pretty unlikely, does it look like we could sneak into the back of the truck, and maybe hitch a ride? if we go this route we may want to create a diversion . . . say throwing something in the other direction to distract the driver while we scuttle for our lives any stones or the like in the ground at our feet?

super sweet best pal posted:As long as we don't break the door when opening it, at least not until after we've captured the ezood. I was thinking we might try to sort of thwack it up, let the suckers grab the handle of the bar, and jerk it sideways hopefully the bar won't come all the way out and clatter to the ground

put on our mouse costume that we have cleverly been carrying with us this whole time, when the duckdriver comes to investigate make sure he sees us then scamper away he will assume it was just mice going after his ezood, as happens occasionally or more realistically Twenty Four posted:Scuttle in and hide maybe? we might even be able to use exclawibur to pull the door closed behind us, assuming we have time

ulysses c. crab will fight if there is no alternative, but is there no possibility of talking our way out of this? the driver didn't do anything to us, for all we know he could prove to be an ally but of course I will back the majority decision, whatever it is |

alnilam posted:I know I don't like unnecessary violence either but I'm imagining a nice bonk on the head knock him out sort of thing, talking could work too but hiding is too risky i think here's a thought, we could have one of us do the talking (and create a distraction) while the other stays hidden and lines up to do a noggin bonk in case things go south we have a pretty good story, we are worried about our duck friend who may have been kidnapped if the driver is sympathetic we might try bumming a bottle of ezood off of him for various useful purposes (bribes, firemaking, courage)? |
