¿Question #228974?
purplewurple: The Sundered Land Game 35 [7]. (It's been a while. I suggest you use the search to catch up on the story of Désibelle and her cold-augmented battle camel. Rules of the game are in the question marked 35 [1].) Camberly lets out a soft whimper as the augmynth shot takes effect. Her flesh ripples, her belly distends. Now humming loudly, her eyes scan the workshop, and I realize she's looking for a calving spot. Seconds later she's positioned herself in a corner and is going into labor. I'm no expert on camels, but what looks at me from the amniotic sac isn't a regular newborn calf. It focusses on me with eerie intelligence. It's the staring eyes more than anything else that propel me into action. I move to the doors and windows of the workshop and start barricading them with whatever I can find. Luckily there are plenty of tables, racks, and assorted machinery that will provide an effective barrier. Behind me, a sucking, slurping sound turns my stomach. I don't look back at the camel and her get until noise on the outside heralds the arrival of the pod-monsters. My camel is dead. Her desiccated form is still attached by an umbilical cable to the calf, which has grown to nearly the same size as its mother. I have no time to contemplate the biomorph; the grotesques outside have started to test my makeshift defenses. I look around the workshop, and hidden behind a large contraption I spot something that might help me and the newborn camel escape. What is it, and how might it be of use?

Derang3d: A claw hammer, so you can remove the planks from that door there (and maybe put them on that door there).. Addit: Yay!
purplewurple: The gods have spoken! Dice were rolled, and Deranged spoke loudest. Welcome to the pantheon, 3d!
Jedadeana: It's a table of whip cream pies, perfect for throwing!
MABBY: It's a business card. Looking at it, it belongs to Mrs. LaBelle/ Midwife. Well that couldn't have worked out better! You call her and she agrees to come over right away.
pricero1: It's a screwdriver which will let you unscrew some machinery.
mattomaw: A trapdoor. But it has a combination lock on it.
Woelf: Yay yay yay yay yay yay! /// You spot a small diary full of hand-scribbled notes and sketches detailing how to quickly convert the remains of a maternally-deceased battle camel into a mech suit capable of sustaining a humanoid. A few pages from the middle appear to be missing, but they're probably not important. [Spoiler Alert: They're important.]
