Choice Text and Results
Rile them up (Evil (1))
You charge the bats waving your arms and shouting. It doesn't take long before you have a swarm of shrieking bats surrounding you and battering you with their wings.
(Fight a Bat Swarm)
Grab some guano
(if equipped with gas mask, containment helmet or reinforced surgical mask)
You approach the vast pile of guano, quite grateful your air is filtered. Even better, the bats don't seem to mind people cleaning up after them.
You found:bat guano
(if Vile Camouflage is active)
You approach the vast field of guano. The stench must be overpowering, but you can't actually smell anything over the filth you're already coated in.
You collect a sample and merrily go about your business. The bats don't seem to mind you cleaning up after them.
You found:You've earned 2 XP in Will
(otherwise)
The bats watch you intently, but you can't get too close. The scent is just… overpowering.
You have to give up when you start getting light headed. It's a wonder the bats can stand the stuff.
(except I just got, w/7(10) Ref and no air filter)(same with 5(13) Ref, no filter)
The stench is incredible as you make your way across the slick of guano. As you make your way towards the main mound, your foot slips on something, probably more guano.
You aren't able to right yourself quickly enough and your fall spooks the bats. They fill the tunnel, shrieking and beating their wings.
You've gained 5 energy of Vile Camouflage.
Watch them
You take a long rest watching the bats. They're constantly churning and active, but you can pick out individuals after a while.
They're not ready to crawl up to you or anything, but it's a little hard to understand why people are so afraid of them.
You regain 15-20 hit points!
You've earned 2 XP in Perception
Leave them be
Although you're sure they're very interesting, these bats do seem to follow the rule of leaving you alone if you leave them alone.
