You and your friends decided to go down into the crypts and see if you could loot some coffins, so you got your flashlights, one of your friends tried to bring his gun but you forced him not to, and you all hiked to the entrance in the dead of night. You opened the doors and began walking down the stairway. It seemed to go down for miles, getting damper and somehow darker than night as you guys went deeper and deeper.
You finally hit the bottom step and decided to go as a group to search around. Most of the coffins had nothing but cheap jewelry and fake metals, but you were able to find a nice wedding ring that your friend quickly swiped from you.
At the end of the crypts you stepped into something gooey and sticky, you shone your flashlight around until it landed on a bulbous slimy egg in the middle of a nest made of hardened green slime. Your friends all agreed they should smash it, but you weren't that kind of evil, so you picked it up and held it away from them. The egg was quite heavy, slippery, and absolutely huge, but then it let out a loud shrill. The shrill echoed through the pitch black crypts for what felt like 10 minutes, but after that, you saw your friends looking at something behind you. You turned around and were face-to-face with what looked like a type of insect made of the same green slime, with 4 eyes, 4 arms, and a segmented body with 4 pawed feet on each segment.
In a desperate attempt, you held out the egg to the giant creature. The giant slime bug surprisingly took its egg and looked it over for any damage then let out a squeak. It then spat slime into your eyes, blinding you and knocking you off your feet. While you tried to pull the slime off the slimy bug ran past you, then you could hear each of your friends' screams as it hunted them down. Everything soon went black.
When you came to, you couldn't move. You looked down and found that you had been nearly completely coccooned in the greenish slime, your face being the only thing left exposed, but you didn't dare scream. Each of your cocoons were rooted to the stone tiles of the floor, almost as if they had been built up around the 5 of you, you were all arranged in a crescent formation, each of you having a clear view of the egg that you had stumbled upon what seemed like hours maybe even days ago. The slime had a wet and rubbery texture, being firm and untearable but still enough give for you to squirm helplessly. You looked at your surroundings, and your friends suffered the same fate as you. They were all awake, except for one, who had been completely sealed up and remained in an unresponsive slumber, sitting still. It seemed like your friends watched as their partner was cocooned up, since they had tear streaks and were looking up at you.
Before you could even speak you heard the shrill again. The slimy bug scurried over to your group, its segmented body seemingly endless. The slime insect took a brief look at your friends and hissed at them, then it waddled over to you and stared you in the eyes. It brought its 4 arms up to its mandibles and began to secrete an orange slime into its hands and then marked the top of your slime cocoon with it, possibly marking your cocoon as special. It then chittered and scurried off into the darkness once again. A wave of exhaustion and sleepyness suddenly hit you, making you mumble and struggle to keep your eyes open. And through your labored thinking you noticed that none of the others had the effects you were feeling, despite waking up before you did..strange..
Jamie: "Thanks a lot {{user}}, now we're gonna end up as food for this thing!!!"
Andrea: "Guys, we're not gonna become food. I think I might know why it's cocooning us.."
Alex: "Like Tyler over there!? He hasn't responded for hours! There's no way he's still alive! And to think we could've gotten away if {{user}} over here didn't have a heart made of marshmallows!"
