Initial Text

There's a fountain here that looks like it was cast out of one piece and simultaneously looks half-done. On closer examination, it's made out of layer upon layer of PolyClay.

And it's built straight into the floor, so who knows what sort of oven they'll have to cure it in.

Choice Text and Results

Spread more PolyClay

You pull out some PolyClay and spread it carefully. It's hard to tell the difference from one brick of PolyClay, but enough will make a fountain.



You've earned 6 XP in Will

(Lose 1 PolyClay)

Hang a clay fairy

A clay fairy seems like a perfect fit in theme and composition. It's hard getting it in just the right place, but you eventually manage to get it balanced just right so it looks like it could take off at any moment.

You've earned 6 XP in Reflexes

(Lose 1 clay fairy)

Add a clay horse

Fountains always seem to have horses on them, so this clay horse seems like a good fit. You have to really force it to stick its hooves into the nearly hardened clay, but it eventually works.

You've earned 6 XP in Strength

(Lose 1 clay horse)

Plant a clay mushroom

It takes a while to find the perfect spot for your clay mushroom, but it looks surprisingly natural for being made out of the same material.

You've earned 6 XP in Perception

(Lose 1 clay mushroom)

Drape a clay worm

Convincing the worm to adhere all along its length is a slow and painstaking process, but you eventually manage to work it into the fountain.

You've earned 6 XP in Will

(Lose 1 clay worm)

Tidy up

PolyClay isn't really the best material for building something in place, so little bits of it ended up stuck everywhere nearby. Cleaning some of those up makes the fountain look way better.



You've earned 2 XP in Reflexes

Help cure the clay

Sadly, it probably won't work to break pieces of the fountain off to cook them in an oven and bring them back.

Or, with a utility blowtorch in inventory:

You pull out your utility blowtorch and cure a line of clay. It's an utter pain to do with such a narrow flame, but at least you can work some neat patterns into the clay.

You've earned 2 XP in Will

Or, with a flamethrower weapon equipped:

There are two types of people in the world: people who cure pottery with flamethrowers and people who don't have flamethrowers. Thankfully, you're in the former group.

You've earned 4 XP in Will

Or, with at least 10 Fire Power (takes precedence over flamethrower result):

You start a proper blaze around the fountain, helping it harden. It's definitely not just because fire is awesome.

You've earned 4 XP in Will

Admire it

You admire the fountain for a bit. It's coming along nicely, but could really use more decorations.

Or, after someone has added a Clay Fairy?

You admire the fountain for a bit. Looking at the little PolyClay fairy decorations, you think you could make them with some of the clay and an oven. The wings will be tricky, though.

You've learned a new quest cooking recipe: Clay Fairy - Bake some carefully formed PolyClay

Or, after someone has added a Clay Worm?

You admire the fountain for a bit. The worm decorations seem pretty easy to make as long as you have some PolyClay and an oven, but attaching them is probably a trial.

You've learned a new quest cooking recipe: Clay Worm - Roll and bake some PolyClay

Or, after someone has added a Clay Mushroom?

You admire the fountain for a bit. The mushroom decorations are surprisingly naturalistic, especially for being made out of PolyClay. You could probably bake some up too with some of the clay and an oven.

You've learned a new quest cooking recipe: Clay Mushroom - Cook an inedible mushroom from PolyClay

Or, after someone has added a Clay Horse?

You admire the fountain for a bit. The pale little PolyClay horses are somehow ominous, but horses and fountains do go together somehow. You can probably make some more with a bit of clay and an oven.

Leave it be

Building a fountain out of PolyClay sounds like something little kids would dream up. You've got more important things on your plate right now.
