Another bit of homeschooling “Story Game” session notes PH Scale ooze monsters You have passed spiders in the cave. The next step in the dungeon is the chamber of the oozes. They spit slime at you. Each one has a number on it, representing its ph. The ph scales are 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, and 13 and each monster has that number on its chest for the kids to see. The acidic ones are green and the basic ones are purple. Whenever one of them spits slime, it adds or removes 1 ph to the target. If they get the players, they get a boo-boo unless their ph is 7 (neutral). The dungeon also has a well of lemon juice and a well of baking soda that the players can use to neutralize the oozes. Each splashing changes the ph of the adversary by 2.

“Like a sculpture, glowing in the rays of sunlight The glass, a prism for the world Slowly scraping at the edges Mocking the vision of this little girl She watched as her own likeness began to fade As food and poison began to blur The smallest compromises she ever made Added up, until all that was left of her Was the glass Don’t be beach glass Shaped by every compromise By the current Until there’s nothing left to recognize You are one, you are whole Please don’t sell away your soul Piece by piece Until there’s nothing left Don’t be beach glass In our lifetimes all of us have felt it All the pressure from the waves Slowly scraping at the edges Commanding us to all be the same The edges we stand on to be who we are Are scraped away as we’re carried afar Before you know it we’re on a distant shore Cast onto the sand, can’t recognize us anymore We’re just glass And little more Don’t be beach glass Shaped by every compromise By the current Until there’s nothing left to recognize You are one, you are whole Please don’t sell away your soul Piece by piece Until there’s nothing left Don’t be beach glass I’m sure you’ve heard Their insistence sometimes, saying “If you just backed down, There’d be less pain to go around… Don’t be so sure, there’s no way you can be so Just let it go, let it go” Well I say Don’t be beach glass Shaped by every compromise By the current Until there’s nothing left to recognize You are one, you are whole Please don’t sell away your soul Piece by piece Until there’s nothing left Don’t be beach glass
