I think they're more likely to give us a headache with all their yelling than they are to actually hurt us.

[YEET]

[ktiseos]

That may well be the point, particularly after the sort of few days we've had.

[just annoy them into not being able to deal...

anyway, yeet!]

[countermeasures]

I think it's about time we got out of this tunnel.

[yeets another kappa and


tries to walk back the way she came]

[ktiseos]

I do believe it is.

[off they go, time to get the hell Out of this horrible tunnel... he picks up his own pace a bit to get ahead, because if these things are corgi sized then

well. he's pretty effective at clearing a path.]

[countermeasures]

[she follows close on his heels! that way none of the kappas can get in between them and slow their progress.

later nerds]

[ktiseos]

[goodBYE little dog sized kappas they are OUTTA HERE.

and once they are, he straightens his posture with a sigh of relief, taking a moment to try to stretch his neck. ughhh that was uncomfortable.]

Well. Now that we know, I certainly will not be going there again.

[countermeasures]

Neither will I.

[she gives a little huff and brushes off her skirt.]

That whole thing was ridiculous.

[ktiseos]

I suppose the only point in its favor is not actively being a danger, but this is quite the low bar.

[countermeasures]

It certainly is...

[she sighs]

Let's hope anything else new around here is less annoying, but also not more dangerous.

[ktiseos]

Shall we see, then, or would you prefer to avoid more of it for the time being.

[he's pretty sure it'll be manageable, but still.]

[countermeasures]

Better to be prepared than not to be. I'd like to go and see what else has changed since yesterday, if you wouldn't mind, Sir Emet-Selch.

[ktiseos]

...oh, very well.

[she isn't wrong, so-- all right, he supposes he'll deal with whatever else might have cropped up.]

Emet-Selch alone will suffice, by the by. You needn't append anything; 'tis a title in its own right.

[countermeasures]

Oh! I didn't realize... Emet-Selch it is, then.

[she smiles. onward they go!]

Thank you for your assistance.

[ktiseos]

There's hardly any need for that. 'Tis nothing.

[almost huffed out, honestly. don't thank him, it's fine, anyone would do this.

they head out to the archways and through (throws dart) the one leading to the lab, and he pauses for a moment at the dim light.]

...be cautious. The last time there was trouble with the lighting, it was after those creatures had been loosed.

[countermeasures]

Wonderful.

[she puffs her cheeks out]

That's exactly what I was hoping would happen today.

[ktiseos]

Stay behind me.

[he is so fucking suspicious of this... dim, largely empty lab.

but then they come across the odd new vials of potions set up in here, and his brow furrows.]

-what in the world are these meant to be? Surely this place has not produced anything of use.

[countermeasures]

[her brow furrows as well, and though she mostly stays behind him, she does peek out so that she can see what he's talking about.]

Some sort of concoction... are they labeled?
