Sticky Feet

A toe-ring ability letting Carl walk upside down on ceilings for a short burst — his key to the ooze fight.

Story so far

Sticky Feet is an ability Carl gains from his newest toe ring (the enchanted toe ring), letting him walk along a ceiling for (dexterity × 2) seconds once every six hours — about seventy-plus seconds at his dexterity of 32. Unlike a Reverse Gravity effect it doesn't flip his sense of the world; he's simply glued to the surface and must shuffle-walk, keeping at least one bare foot in contact or he falls. He deploys it for the first time in combat during the Sand Ooze fight, crab-walking upside down across the low boss-chamber ceiling to reach and burn the ooze's core without touching the deadly sand below.

Role

Carl's ceiling-walking mobility ability, pivotal to killing the sand ooze.

Relationships

Carl — The crawler who wields it, gained from his toe ring.
Enchanted Toe Ring of the Leprous Bandit — The item that grants the ability.
Sand Ooze — The boss he uses it against, walking the ceiling over its core.
