Allow 6-8 Weeks For Delivery

As you're prowling around the exterior of Stella's compound, you hear a strange clinking noise coming from behind a rock. When you investigate, you find a large weird-looking snail munching on some weeds. The weird thing about it is that its shell appears to be made of shiny interlocking rings.

You figure taming it is probably worth a shot. I mean, it's a slow-moving plant-eating thing with a shell, so it's basically a turtle, right? Just a particularly slimy one.

---

Try to tame it

You carefully approach the snail and poke it. It waves its antennae at you, but otherwise doesn't take much notice, so you poke it a few more times. Eventually it seems to get annoyed (you guess... I mean, it's kind of hard to judge the emotions of a snail) and wanders off, leaving behind a few shed scales.

You acquire 2−4 piles of snailmail bits

Occurs at The Outer Compound.

Notes

History

• Prior to the Turtle Taming revamp, Eau de Tortue was required to encounter this adventure and a turtling rod was required in order to tame the turtle.
  • With a turtling rod equipped, you received this message:

  • Without a turtling rod equipped, you received this message:

    You reach out to the snail, trying your best to exude vibrations of peace and love although frankly you have no idea at all how to relate to a snail. It crawls onto your hand, and oh my god that feels gross. You quickly shake it off and spend a few minutes flailing around in disgust.

    You lose 19−20 hit points.
