Rhyolite: Jump down.
Mark: Move out of the way lest Rock Elemental impacts your crainium.

>>582971
Okay, Tavern pick up your axe and then the three of you move over so nobody risks getting crushed by Rhyolite when he jumps down.

Another standing order, if Tavern gets rid of his weapon for some reason he should pick it up after his other orders are completed, unless the path to the axe or the axe itself is dangerous.

I'd also kinda like to get that crate open, so if there's enough room, Tavern can grab and use his axe. Uh, can Mark elaborate on the orb effects a bit?

Rhyolite jumps down onto the platform, its pieces briefly scattering then pulling back together. The impact has caused minor damage to its core.

Tavern Griel uses his axe to break open the top of the door-container. Inside he sees a series of fibers coiled together to form a lengthy tool that serves multiple functions.

Damn. Uh, let's see if we can experiment in a way that won't disintegrate anything too important.

Mark,put the orb through the wall again, but this time go just a little farther, like try to put the tip of a finger in the wall while touching the orb. Then pull it back to see if anything's disappeared. If nothing bad happened, try putting a whole hand through, with the orb of course.

>>584130

Lets try that but have Rhyolite holding the orb, since he can regenerate damage.

>>584143
True, long as his core isnt touched he should be able to rebuild.

>>585172
Jack and Tavern, see if you two can retrieve the rope to bring along with you. Then share the orb and pass through.

Also another standing order. When passing items between each other try to do so in the most nonlethal way possible, whether that means warning the reciever of what you're passing so they can catch it, telling people to get out of the line of trajectory, rolling or lightly tossing something instead of throwing it hard, etc.

>>585175
Retrieving the rope while still being able to get down will require some creative tactics. You'll have to specify what Jack and Tavern are to do, because they are mentally incompetent. And also generally incompetent on Tavern's part.

Doesn't someone have a gun? Shoot it down. Aim next to the knot and we'll only lose a little bit of rope.

Tavern Greil was ordered to drop the Red Orb. He was not ordered to retrieve it before leaving.

It is possible to return to levels previously visited, but if they have been covered in the darkness they will be much more dangerous.

.....if that was a key item we need to go get it. Zuckerburg should stay here, I feel like since the darkness just came and we now know it isn't instance death, we need to get in there fast before all the terrible shit forms, we might not have an encounter if we just get in and out.

Actually scratch that we need zuckerburg for his phone.

So far tavern is our best bet. He's kinda useless without an axe. I say send him.

So, can our stone elemental breathe underwater? I imagine if we found a way to cover the core we might be able to keep it from harm going after the chest once the red gem is back in our hands.

Rhyolite does not need to breath, but he doesn't float and his core has no locomotion on its own.
