Encounter Conditions
Etheric
After coding the BigDig with BigDig experimental file
Without having killed the Titanic Mole today
If you have crashed the BigDig into the vault, you get the Pincer Pit encounter instead.
Initial Text
A massive, squatly built creature rests in the loose soil of the construction site. The workers wandering around seem unconcerned by its presence, but its massive pincer-like claws and coarse metallic fur seem more real to you than the underpaid builders.
Summary of Choices
- Attack it - fight Titanic Mole; removes encounter for the day if you win
- Command it - nothing?
- Call a centipede - 4 Will XP, lose 1 instance of Burrowing Horror (With a binding tome equipped and knowing at least 1 instance of Burrowing Horror)
- Leave it be - walk away
Choice Text and Results

The massive creature is surprisingly fast to respond, slicing through the air with its massive claws.
(Fight Titanic Mole; removes encounter for the day if you win)

Command it
You try to convince the massive creature to obey you, but it doesn't seem to understand you, let alone have any intention of obeying.

You speak a few words out of the tome of binding, but the massive creature seems uninterested in bending to your will.
Call a centipede

Leave it be
There are certain things in this world you're fairly sure are just hallucinations. This is one of those.
