INTRODUCTION

-------
After the firsts ranchers are sent on the Far, Far Range, some researchers found a new "sea" on the planet. The Slime Sea and the Sand Sea are now completed by the Unfreezed-Sea, a big ice/snowy slimy water constently moving. The weather here is very hard, hail is pretty harsh, and no life form was signaled on the rare lands discovered.

This is where a young scientist, Ivoire, do some scanning under the lands, and found some new life form, but because of the weather, no "clear" signs can be analysed, and because the Unfreezed-Sea is too far from any giving point on the Far, Far Range, no ranchers can go to investigate.

So, Ivoire propose herself to go directly on the Far, Far Range, and main the data collecting process. But as always, the weather is not happy with this, and when she approch the planet, she was forced to crash on the surface. With luck, she "park" herself and her navet into a big "cavern" formed by winds and time. With no other choices, she lunch a distress beacon which, luckely, make itself a way to a familiar Ranch.

-------

One morning, Beatrix sees a "glowy red light" crashes outside of her house. She quikly come near, and found the beacon. She recive the pre-recorded message from a unknown person.

-------
"- If you got this message, than my hopes are not gone. My name is Ivoire, I just came from Earth, and I need help.
- My ship crash into the Far, Far Range, on a land lost in the "Unfreezed Sea", a very unpleasant place where winter is the only season avalable.
- Nobody on the Far, Far Range can come help me, hélas, but I can hack a teleporter from where this beacon is found to ... maybe ... take the help into this place?
- It's the only solution I got, so please, I really need help right now !"
-------

Right after this, a "very well placed" teleporter takes Beatrix into IVOIRE'S OASIS.

IVOIRE'S OASIS

Image

Beatrix arrived in what's seam to be a big buuble of ice. Like a frozen geode. Little light come from some holes in the walls, and a big part of it was covered by a beautiful ice's like material. But quikly, she notice the ship, and come closer. To her surprise, she is walcome by a big sound of "something made of metal drop on the floor". Soon after, a tall woman go out of the navet, and sees her.

-------
- Hello ! Thanks to science, you come her in one part ... What? Of course I knew it will work ... haha ... ha ...
- Anyway, thanks to come help me dear ... Beatrix? That's a cool name !
- Has i recorded on the tape, my name is Ivoire, and i just came here to study news species of slime but ... the weather wasn't happy to see me.
- And when I crash ... my tools and stuff has ... kinda ... "stopped work"? Haha ... ha ... Nothing work anymore ...
- But don't worry ! I came up with a solution ! ... And it need a adventurer rancher like you !
- For the beggining, you can see from here a big entrance to something, right there.
- It's an entrance to a big "gallery" like place where lives two new species of slimes : The Icicle Slime, and the Snow Slime. I found them, so I'm the one who name them !
- But the most important thing is that these "galeries" is full of a precious metal that i could use to repear all my stuff. It's call the Frozen Iron. It's not like Blue Metal, but it's my only alternative.
- I sent some "custom drills" to excavate this metal but with the crash they have some ... malfunctions?
- To resume, I need you to go in the galleries, check on the drills and collect the metal for me. If the drills doesn't done there cycle, you can "encourage them" with a little hit.
- And of course, i will reward you.
- For each "5" units of metal you collect for me, i will give you some Snow Plorts I already collected. You will quikly notice you can't gain them here
- I was armed with science and patience to collect them !
- When I got enough metal to repear my vitals machines, i will give you ... hmm ... what can i gave you ...
- Maybe ... some Fashion Rancher Pods? It's the same as the Fashion Slimes Pod ... but for the Ranchers ! I came up with this idea back on Earth.
- It visually change the color of your outfit ! And i got the permission from 7Zee to use their colors pallets for this !
- But ... only when i can repear all my precious stuff so ... Please, i need your help.
-------

This place is the "house place" given by the NPC at the end of the quests of an extention. There's two places : where the ship of Ivoire crash, her "home"; and a lower place where you will found the spot to construct stuff, and, when Ivoire give you her "final reward", will show you a little house she put here for you. But since then, i can't use any of the spots.


Ivoire will give you "Snow plort", a very rare ressources that you can"t collect on Snow Slimes ( Cause they don't eat, so, they don't usually produce plorts ... but with "Science", she managed to gain some. ) for each 5 units of Frozen Iron.


And after a lot of metal, she will reward with three big "prices" :
- The first one is a "Fashion Rancher Pod" which work like Slime Fashion pod. It's a cosmethic you can put on youself, and change the colors of your outfit with the color of the 7Zee themed colors. ( You will only see the difference when you go into your house, or on some of the "mirror ice" walls in the galleries. )
- I'm not completly sur about the second reward. There will be not 7Zee Tresure pod in the galleries, so maybe she will give you blueprints to craft ice based decoration? ( Maybe snow-blowers to cover your ranch with snow ! )
- And in the end, she will reward you one last time with maybe something based around the science slime ressources, like some augmentation for the extractors? Of maybe more blueprints to construct news tools for SlimeScience. Oh, and, she will show you a little house she built for you in there, and you gain acces to the construction spots.

THE WINTER GALERIES

/I don't came up with a good maping for this zone yet, I will edit later/

The galeries are a big labyrinthic place made of ice, snow, water and ravines.

This is the native place for the icicles Slimes and the Snow Slime, two new species of slimes.

-----
The Icicle slime is a little slow dude. On solid ground, it's slower than any slime, near the "no mouvments" state, but it have a "freeze" area around him, like the Rad Slime. When the player enter the zone, the player is slow down by the cold. The energy bar drop quikly if you stay in it.
With this cold area, this slime can freeze the water around him. And when put on frozen water, it's became really quick, not as fast as Quicksilver slime, but can became real troubles to navigate freely when your energy is suck.
-----
The snow slime is a cute little friend who live on the ceiling of the caverns.
/I don't finish his concept/
-----

The drills are put on precise places ( unlike kookadobas plants ) but can be hard to access. Some are put on edge, other in hidden places. Only one is placed right at the entrance, but if you want a big loot, you'll have to explore the area, and it can be really hard with the Icicles Slimes.

The gameplay of this zone ( compared to the exploration of the wilds, of the race of the nimble valley ) is a plateform/exploration experience.


-------------
CONCEPT
Ivoire is a "ScienceSlime" npc, like Mochi is a "plort" npc, or Viktor is a "slime" NPC.
After the final reward, she will apear in the market, and propose trade where she will ask and give you ScienceSlime ressources.
She will primary give you "ScienceSlimes" rewards.
---
The all idea is based aroud the ice ... :)

SLIMEPEDIA ENTRY : THE ICICLE SLIME

Image
" They like the bobbed hairstyle "


Diet : Snow
Favorite : The snow of the Winter Galeries
Slimology :
The icicle slime have a natural cubic form, and don’t wiggle much. Its body is constantly exposed to a very low temperature, and it is the only way for them to survival. Is you took an icicle slime from his cold environment, they will melt quickly. The only place where a rancher can keep them is the Ice Lands. There’s no more information for the moment.

Rancher risks :
The icicle slime has a permanent "frost zone", which slow down a rancher. If the rancher stay in the zone, the energy bar will drop drastically to prevent damages. They seems to be pretty slow on land, but when they’re on ice, they can quickly became dangerous for the energy bar.

Plortonomics :

Little is known about this plorts’s specie. For the moment, just a little quantity arrived to Earth.

Slimology :
The Snow Slimes are very tricky guy who spend the most of their time on the roof of the galleries they’re born in. Confident when they’re hanging, they became extremely shy and scared of any people when they are drop on the floor. They will quickly go to the nearest wall and try to climb back on their spots.
Rancher risks :
When they’re hanging, they attack any intruder with a snowy-like liquid that can cause reals damages, be careful when the roof is low. To prevent that, simply vac them to remove them and be safe.
