Jibblinplip continued its relentless crawl across the land, but its speed noticeably dropped as it approached a steep, rocky canyon. Word spread fast. Players, NPCs, scholars, and even casual wanderers whispered that the canyon would finally slow the ooze down. Some hoped it might even stop Jibblinplip entirely—maybe the chasm was too deep, too sharp, too uneven for the ooze to pass through.
But rumors had a bad habit of being wrong.
The moment Jibblinplip's massive form reached the canyon's edge, the ground trembled. Its body stretched forward like thick syrup. Then, in one heavy movement, the entire mass plummeted straight into the canyon.
The drop didn't slow it.
It accelerated it.
