2001. A Little Everything
"We need to stop again, the pace is a little much for the brilliant slime." Walker stopped the party again. They had managed to keep up a very fast pace as they traveled. The forest area was a little harder to move through since it was the thickest before they would break out in to the marsh lands.
Therefore, the party had been mowing around larger trees along with stepping over fallen ones. Some places the leaves were so dense beneath their feet that it was hard to walk over the ground in general.
Naturally, this made it tougher for the brilliant slime to move around. Its body was larger than an average slime. Therefore, it had issues bouncing up enough to roll over larger fallen trees or even bouncing on the densely packed leaves.
