Black Sludge is a School event you can encounter in World of Horror.
Description[]
"The corridor is flooded by a black sludge that's slowly oozing from underneath the door of the chemistry classroom. A damp, moldy stench grows as you get closer.
How are you going to get to the other side?"
Available Choices[]
- 'take a detour'
- "Better safe than sorry! You take the stairs and avoid the sludge by going through another floor entirely" (+2% DOOM)
- 'risk going through' (Perception check)
- [Success] "You saw the sudden movement near your ankle in time to jump from -something- trying to bite your leg. You made it safe to the other side!" (+5 EXPERIENCE)
- Failure: "You're too late to keep -something- from biting your ankle. It's not bleeding badly, but you worry about an infection if the black sludge gets into the wound." (+ INJURY)
- 'take a sample of sludge' (needs Empty Bottle)
- "You bottle up a sample of the sludge, trying your best not to pass out from the stench." [+Bottle (Sludge)]
Trivia[]
- Drinking from a Bottle (Water) or Bottle (Milk) during the event to get an Empty Bottle will not unlock the third option.
- It's not clear how taking a sludge sample allowed the player character to get past to the other side.
