Tav seems to be getting restless again. Maybe he's having another nightmare? It's been maybe a week since you remember waking up on that rooftop with Tav bleeding all over you, at least you THINK it was a week, you've been holed up in this windowless room the whole time, so time is hard to gauge...

How'd they get you out of that room the last time?

>>30855
see how Tav is doing, they don't look too well.

>>30855
All that crap's piled up against the door, right? Has Tav been in a coma this whole time?

>>30855
Has Tav been conscious since you rescued him? Is his wound healing without infection?

>>30857
all you remember is some winged lizard person sneaking up on you and, after trading a few blows, breathing some kind of cloud in your face, then you were on the roof with a bag on your head...

>>30858
You're no doctor, but you think Tav is doing relatively ok, he seems to have a mild fever, but there isn't really anything you can do about that except keep an eye on him for now. You bandaged his chest wound as best you could, but without proper bandages and first aid supplies, all you could think to use was your LUCKY SCARF. Hopefully it'll bring him good luck too.

>>30859
>>30860
Yes, the door has been blockaded to prevent any Engsami from barging in here unwanted. Tav's been drifting in and out of consciousness briefly. He frequently seems to startle himself awake, then quickly lapse back sleep.

>>30875
>Hopefully it'll bring him good luck too.
D'awwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Have you had a more thorough chance to explore your surroundings in the last week? Perhaps collected the parts Tav needs for that machine?

Say, maybe we could go gather up some of those rods Tav has shot into things, and bring them back. I bet he would be happy with that.

>>30875
How are supplies doing?
How easy/hard is it to feed or at least give him water?

Momentarily mourn loss of pin-up poster.

Assess equipment and supplies. What's in those boxes? How much of Tav's gear were you able to bring back with you? If we've lost his weapon, that will be unfortunate for when the Engsami inevitably return.

>>30887

I'd hate to leave Tav here unguarded, though. That flying bitch would know exactly where to look, and she might be waiting for Deme to leave so they'll both be alone.

But, fortune favors the bold, eh? So, go ahead and... actually, I can't think of anything "bold" to do. That rod-gathering thing seems like a decent idea, though.

>>30887
You haven't really wanted to risk going out and leaving Tav alone incapacitated, but in retrospect, if the Engsami want in here, you'll probably not be much of a deterrent...

Maybe taking this time to gather the missing supplies for the POWER STATION or some of Tav's bolts would help cheer him up once he wakes up. Where do you wish to fly to?

>>30895
If you managed to retrieve Tav's weapon, then go to the industrial district to look for repair supplies. If not, go to the militia barracks to obtain more weapons.

There's baddies around. Defense is a priority.

>>30895
Here's what we need for the power station:

-LENGTH OF WIRE
-GEAR
-FLAT PIECE OF METAL
-HAND CRANK
-3 JOLTS OF ELECTRICITY

Do we have any of that already? Either way, we could probably find some of it in the Industry District and the Market.

In any case, defense should be a priority. You should try to patch up Tav's gun. What kind of shape is it in?

It was a rather nice poster...

You've been grinding up the DEAD SHOCKER CRAB HUSK to keep your PLANKTON LANTERN fed over the past few days. The large locker on the bottom of the barricade had several food rations and water rations inside, you've been rationing both between the two of you. Though Tav's needed some help chewing what with being unconscious and all...

>>30899
I don't think Deme is going to be able to fly carrying all the equipment Tav's gun needs.

>>30903
Its for the power station. That being said, I think we can leave some junk behind. Like the shocky rod and maybe the gear. This is where we would be bringing it to anyway.

>>30903
If he loads it evenly into or onto his backpack it might work. If only you had a way to strap bags to your sword-feet....

Tav's backpack was much to heavy to fly back with. You left it on the roof along with his battered breastplate.

You have a GREEN GEAR that might work. As well the TIN CAN your MUNDU WORM FOOD RATIONS were previously inhabiting could possible used for the FLAT PIECE OF METAL. You still have the box with the lightning bolt hooked to your belt and have figured out how to link it to your new WEAPON. It coupled with BINKY could theoretically give you 2 jolts of electricity, Tav's backpack would be a third.

>>30925
>box with the lightning bolt

...I just realized.

How does a Lohrke know what lightnings is?

So all we need is the backpack and a length of wire? I say we start looking in the industrial district.

>>30932
Sparks of electricity.

>>30932
Really really big caverns get their own weather system?

>>30932

There's a hole to outside like 30 feet from the city entrance.

At least, there was before it apparently collapsed.

>>30902
>Though Tav's needed some help chewing what with being unconscious and all...
Have you been doing the mother bird thing with Tav? That is so gross but so sweet.

Guys, there's no hurry on the power station thing. The only reason we're restoring power is to open the escape tunnel, and there's no way we can escape until Tav is healed enough to come with us. We can't abandon him.

Seems the best thing to do is to go find more food, medical supplies, etc. But where do we look? I'd guess the military barracks.

Let's hunt for first aid supplies
We're not leaving without Tav anyway.

You enter one of the roof-top tunnels and descend a service ramp to the first floor. Everything here looks the same to you, it's a wonder how the Lohrke who used to work here ever got around...

Stay alert.

Try to find something like a first aid box. Industrial areas should have something like that I'd think.

>>30948
What's in that cabinet there?

Any indication what the function of this particular building was? Can you read the words written here? For that matter, are there any words around here, or only pictograms?

>>30955

There is a large cabinet on the back wall. Inside there appears to be a bottle of some sort of liquid. You can't read the label, but the large red cross icon suggests it's of some medical use... you think... There also appears to be... and HAND CRANK? That's... an odd thing to find in what appears to be a first aid cabinet...

>>30962
Take CRANK, of course. And BOTTLE.

Who knows what's happened since the fall of the city. Add both items to your inventory.

Take a quick peek outside the building to check for guys sneaking around before continuing your search.

>>30967
There appear to be a pair of Engsami skulking around heading toward the Town Hall.

After carefully searching the remaining areas of the building you fail to find anything. There are LENGTHS OF WIRE all over the place, but they appear to be hooked up to various devices that you get the feeling might be important.

Where to now?

take 'em both

>>30983
get on the roof and check out what the ensgami are up to. Don't fly lest the spot you.

>>30983
Think you could watch what the Engsami are doing without being seen? If they are congregating in the town hall, it might be of interest to Tav when he wakes up.

Better leave the non-loose wires in place. Don't want to set off a chain reaction resulting in dangerous explosions or comically loud noises alerting everyone in the city of your location.

I suggest we not make ourselves known to them. Keep searching the city for supplies, but do so discreetly. Try to also keep an eye on the area where Tav is bunked up. We don't want anyone entering that cave system without us noticing.

You return to the rooftop and hop over to the next building toward the center of town. You crouch down behind a large cylindrical object embedded in the roof and peer around the side. The Engsami do appear to be congregating around the Town Hall for some reason. Better let Tav know about this when he wakes up.

>>31014
OMIGOSH LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU

Wait, did we forget to take the lengths of wire we needed from that last building...?

Who cares if they are attached to important things right now, nothing in the city is working! Just rip out one of the longer lengths of wire and Tav can do the rest!

>>31230
scavenging parts from the thing you are trying to repair in order to repair it rarely helps. we need a DIFFERENT source of wires.

Oh, right. Then let's check out Traveler's Alley.

*FW-SHAK*

You quickly spin around and give the Engsami a swift kick to the face raking your blade-like foot across his head. He grunts and drops from the wall making a *THUMP* as he lands.

Now displace. Grab his knife if he left it, and glide to another building.

run for it! get back to Tav, try to throw them off so they don't follow you though

Get his knife if you can, then back to Tav. Try to be all stealthy-like on the way, though.

Also, have you ever seen an Engsami with a gun? (or any other sort of projectile weapon, for that matter)

You take flight to head back to Tav. You circle around to avoid flying right over the congregation at Town Hall and swoop low through the Residential District to try and avoid detection.

Is it getting ready to pounce on you? Bring legs up when it does. It's not... run run run as fast as your little drumsticks manage. High ground. If you have to face it off remember to hold your breath in close quarters this time.

>>32037

Like everyone else is saying, if he pounces on you, stick him with your feet.

However, and I'm not sure if this is just me, but that guy looks like a motherfucking chameleon. He might just go invisible on us.

>>32041

Really, looks like a ninja. Probably shoots those spines through you and spits smoke bombs.

It doesn't pounce, it just hangs on the wall laughing to itself in maniacal glee. You scramble to your feet and start running down the road. You hear the Engsami's laughter louder now, as it it's now laughing with it's mouth open wide.

>>32048

Sticky tongue incoming, roll left. Axe tongue.

>>32048

Attempt to intercept his tongue with the blade of your axe, then laugh.

You step to the side and draw your LUMBER AXE swinging it down where you were previously standing. The Engsami quickly pulls back on it's tongue narrowly avoiding having it lopped off.

Return to plan A: Run for your life. Try to get to high ground.

>>32075

Back away, dodging any further tongue attacks, while trying to get around a corner/get something between you and the enemy. Try to vary your movements; be unpredictable.

Once out of sight, try to make your way back to Tav, preferably by flying a fair distance from any rooftops.

>>32084
If he's followed you this'll hopefully negate his friggin' tongue.

If not, well, that tongue's probably pretty wet from saliva and would make a good target for your shocky thing.

ffffff

Let's look for clues

>>32084

Not again! Search or any trail at all, failing that make for the sniper roost and scan the city for Tav.

>>32075
Use BOOMERANG CUTTER for maximum damage, X!

None of that blood is Tav's. Maybe he just got up.

Look around some more.

>>32084

He's probably awake now; just look around a bit.

... He's at the town square isin't he?... Tied to the statue and surrounded by Engsami. That's why they were there. How the hell are we going to get him out of there.

>>32093

Fuck, that might just be the case.

We might need that extra gun up and running pretty soon.

But still, he may just have woken up, as there's no sign of a struggle. Check around the Barracks first, search for clues, etc.

We're gonna need like, a machine gun or something.

"Ok, if you're sure you've found all the items we need to fix the Power Station, then we can get the hell out of here.

>"But... I thought you were going to stay here and fend the enemy off as long as you were able? And how will we stop them from following us down the tunnel? Don't tell me you're staying here..."

"Wh-what? You read to many book Demesi... with this wound I don't think there's anything left for me here but death. The gate is opened by flipping a series of levers disguised as part of this statue. They have to be flipped in the correct order or nothing happens. There's also a lever on the other side that we'll need to pull that's seal the entrance and reset all the levers. I'm going to go with you at least to the next Lohrke city, my cousin has a Magma Diver ranch there and I'll just stay with her, meanwhile you can get back to the surface from there."

Tav flips a few of the crab claws and the wall in front of you begins to rumble, and then roll away, just like the GIANT METAL COG that lead you into the city.

"you're not just tryin' ta' keep lil' ol' me safe are youuuu~?"

Continue onward, being really careful that nobody watched Tav do the lever trick.

He then slips into the Escape Tunnel. As you enter you see Tav, for some reason on his knees, muttering to himself.

"No... no... it's...it's..."

You quickly flip the lever, the door slams shut behind the winged Engsami, sealing her minions on the other side.

"Tell me, Lohrke, how did you THINK we were getting in? It certainly wasn't the front entrance, we caved that in long ago. STAND DOWN NEDYNVOR! DO NOT THINK THAT SIMPLY CLOSING THE DOOR WILL MEAN YOU HAVE ME! Even as I SPEAK, more of my men are pouring down this tunnel, and now that we know this links to ANOTHER Lohrke city... well... Heh...

Why would you do something like this?

Since it got deleted, my suggestion for the next upcoming part, both posts combined into one. Keep discussion of it over in the /questdis/ thread.

Guys, if we were on her side we'd be totally cheering for her right now, or doing manly tears over her defiance in the face of long odds at least.

Deme: Use a big hand to stop Tav, and use your other hand to pin Kyaos to the wall. Tell her that the pain she feels over Ga'nneda is what she's done to Tav a thousand times over. Tighten your grip threateningly before informing her that this pain she feels over Ga'nneda is exactly what she's done every time she's ever killed anyone, and Tav shoulders it most of all. Tell her it's time to shut the fuck up and understand what she's done.

Then release Tav and tell him to make her feel his pain, but don't kill her. Let her live after Tav has shown her just what she's done to him, through physical harm and words filled with fury and sorrow. Let's pray her species has some sort of regenerative abilities after Tav is done with her, however.

Also, if she thinks about using that sleeping gas you'll kill her yourself, Neme.


I love to see "redemption" in stories, especially for an antagonist like this. First Tav needs to get her to stop laughing through lots of shouting and physical harm before looking her dead in the eyes and explaining to her what exactly she has done in helping raid and kill Tav's people. I like to think she's still crying over Ga'nneda underneath that cocky persona she's putting on right now, proving there's still at least some "good" in her, so to speak.

Maybe she'll get exiled for losing this fight and letting them get away by the others and eventually we'll gain a third party member in her this way. It's a long shot, but it could work.

Either way, Tav needs to prove he's better than her by both not killing her and trying to force her to see the error of her ways.

Plus... I mean look at their positions and Deme's hands. He could hold them both easily. Perhaps not firmly, but he could hold them long enough to get his message across.

Deme's kept silent throughout most of this ordeal, it's time he had a few words to say. If Tav kills her now, while she's relatively defenseless in a narrow tunnel, he'll be no better than her.

Also, I'd like to add that switching to Kyaos for the next chapter sounds like an awesome idea.

Wow, are you retarded.

Well, let's start with the beginning.

"Guys, if we were on her side we'd be totally cheering for her right now, or doing manly tears over her defiance in the face of long odds at least."
No we wouldn't. At least, I wouldn't. She's a stupid bitch who's killed a lot of innocent people with no remorse and I have no qualms with killing her. Which is besides the point, as we aren't on her side, never were and never will be.

"Deme: Use a big hand to stop Tav, and use your other hand to pin Kyaos to the wall. Tell her that the pain she feels over Ga'nneda is what she's done to Tav a thousand times over. Tighten your grip threateningly before informing her that this pain she feels over Ga'nneda is exactly what she's done every time she's ever killed anyone, and Tav shoulders it most of all. Tell her it's time to shut the fuck up and understand what she's done."
Then watch as she claws us to pieces during our stupid-ass morality speech! BRILLIANT! Jesus fucking christ, she's a horrible murderer, she doesn't care about what Tav has felt or feels, all she cares about is that he killed Ga'nedda and so he must pay. What fucking part of 'self-centered evil villian' are you failing to grasp?

"Then release Tav and tell him to make her feel his pain, but don't kill her. Let her live after Tav has shown her just what she's done to him, through physical harm and words filled with fury and sorrow. Let's pray her species has some sort of regenerative abilities after Tav is done with her, however."
I like how you put all this effort towards not killing her and then you just release someone who hates her so very deeply with every fiber of his being no holds barred to make her feel his pain with the sole condition of 'not killing her'. Whoops! Who'da thunk blood loss could kill people?

"Also, if she thinks about using that sleeping gas you'll kill her yourself, Neme."
Actually that nickname explains a lot about this. But uh in case you've forgotten if she uses the sleeping spores we can't kill her because we're fucking unconscious. And then she kill us.

"I love to see "redemption" in stories, especially for an antagonist like this. First Tav needs to get her to stop laughing through lots of shouting and physical harm before looking her dead in the eyes and explaining to her what exactly she has done in helping raid and kill Tav's people. I like to think she's still crying over Ga'nneda underneath that cocky persona she's putting on right now, proving there's still at least some "good" in her, so to speak."
what the fuck is wrong with you
If she cared about what Tav thought or what she had done to his people she wouldn't be trying to murder him, us, all her people. And of course she is probably still crying over Ga'nedda and that in ABSOLUTELY NO WAY proves that there is still "good" in her.

"Maybe she'll get exiled for losing this fight and letting them get away by the others and eventually we'll gain a third party member in her this way. It's a long shot, but it could work."
If that shot was any longer you could hit Alpha Centauri. She would be way more fucking interested in murdering us in our sleep than going on yaaaaaay adventuuuures yaaaaaaay.

"Either way, Tav needs to prove he's better than her by both not killing her and trying to force her to see the error of her ways."
You're not worse or the same as someone because you've killed them. No amount of Batman you've watched is going to change that. The police kill murderers and cannibals and psychopaths all the time. Does that make them terrible, terrible people? Fuck no! They're keeping us safe every day!

"Plus... I mean look at their positions and Deme's hands. He could hold them both easily. Perhaps not firmly, but he could hold them long enough to get his message across."
I think you've forgotten how strong Tav is (remember that unbelievably heavy gear he carried around /everywhere/ and how fast he moved with it?), how weak we are (lol bird-like structure, hollow bones), and how incredibly pissed off Kyaos is. We will get stampeded and the epic fight will ensue with us face down on the floor in pain with a broken wing or two.

"Deme's kept silent throughout most of this ordeal, it's time he had a few words to say. If Tav kills her now, while she's relatively defenseless in a narrow tunnel, he'll be no better than her."
So now using an advantage makes you worse than a genocidal maniac?

"Also, I'd like to add that switching to Kyaos for the next chapter sounds like an awesome idea."
Die in a fire.

Hey guys! Guess who I'm gonna ban if they post one more goddamn discussion piece in this thread before the next update!

Across the room there is a guard sitting. He appears to be keeping a close eye on this cell and the one next to it.

You... you don't know :<

Kyaos: Appear in the cell next door and reveal that there was a coup and you're now a fellow prisoner. THIRD PARTY MEMBER GET.

He's in the cell next to you. Trust me.

Now, you aren't strong enough to pull the 'act sick and ambush' trick, (probably wouldn't work because they don't CARE) So... hey, are those bars conductive to electricity?

Give him a raspberry. The figurative kind.

Tell me they didn't put us together... Knock on the wall and say Tav. Do it near the bars so whoever is next to you will hear.

If they did then I expect this is a trap of some sort and you're wanted to escape. But at least you know where Tav is.

You touch your tongue to the metal bars and receive a quick feedback jolt. The bars don't seem to be effected.

That's all you can do.

Deme, are you a fighter or a doormat?

>>34131
Well... might as well make conversation with the guard. Ask him what's going to happen to us. Prepare yourself with the answers Torture, "Interrogation" or Execution. Probably won't answer at all, but it's worth a try.

Also call out Kyaos.

Call out "Kyaos?"

See if that's her in the next cell over. See if you can stick your head through the bars and take a peek.

Can you fit your head through the bars enough to get a look into the other cell?

>>34131
Use your SKINNY HEAD and LONG NECK to sneak a peek into the next cell.
The guard might not appreciate it but you can have your head back in the cell before he even gets up.

err... stick your head through the bars and make sad eyes and stick out your tongue (like in the OP image) It will be too cute and his head will explode. Then we can work on that gate.

You complain about being hungry to the guard. He stares at you.

>>34135

You attempt to strike up a conversation with the guard, but are interrupted by a feminine voice from the cell next to you.

"Don't bother, he doesn't speak the language."

>>34140
ASK WHO SHE IS.

ASK WHO SHE IS THIS INSTANT.

ALSO TRY TO REMEMBER IF SHE SOUNDS LIKE THE FLYING GIRL FROM BEFORE.

>>34140
"Hello? Who might you be?"

>>34140
Use skinny head and neck to look at whoever it is. Why settle for asking?

>>34140
Think about the voice. It's the same voice as the woman you were fighting before you woke up and found yourself in a cell, isn't it?

Now this is odd. If she's done bad, why is she in the same prison as us? She should be high priority. And if her crime has something to do with us, that's all the more reason why she shouldn't be in a cell anywhere near us.

>There doesn't actually appear to be a door at all on the bars... there's what looks like a some sort of hatch on the ceiling, but there's no visible lock from this side...

Cunning bastards. You'd have to be able to fly to escape.

So, Thighs is accounted for, but what about Tav? And damn it, they better not have fucking eaten Binky.

Like everyone else is saying, though, try to look into the neighboring cell.

"Aggeia." She replies, "You're a Nedynvor aren't you? Your kind is rare down on the mainland. It's no wonder the Engsami snatched you up"

"...So wait. You said this guard can't speak the same language as us? We might be able to get out of here then, if we can work on a plan without him hearing any of it."

>>34181

Binky, quick, try and squeeze yourself through those bars horizontally!

Run from one end to the cage to the other, jumping against the bars. Try get it to tip over the side of the table. If it breaks you'll be free to escape!

Deme.. ask your new friend what her(?) name is.. oh, and introduce yourself as well why not.

>>34180
>"Sounds like you've been through a lot."

"I've been shat on, shot at, kidnapped, nearly killed at least three times, and very, very, lost most of the time. Yeah. I've been through a lot."

BINKY

THIS!

YOU HAVE TO ESCAPE, BINKY! YOU JUST HAVE TO! D:

The bars are to close together for your spines to fit through.

>>34186
>Bump yourself against the side of the cage until it falls to the floor and hopefully breaks.

Crabs are not known for their ramming prowess.

>>34183
>ZAP THE LOCK TILL IT OPENS!

That goes against everything you've been trained for...

A creature squeezes through a small door on the other side of the cave. It's making a weird series of humming noises. It sounds happy though. The smaller creature it's holding is shrieking. The larger one tightens it's grip and... snaps... it's neck... this place REALLY sucks...

Inform the creature that you pinch.

>>34207
We've been trained? Just what have we been trained for?

>>34207
OK let's fall back on "Zap the shit out of him when he picks up the cage"

Or maybe we should wait till he opens it.

>>34207

Binky, if you wish to survive, you must go against your training. You must zap the lock.

BREAK YOUR BONDS, BINKY! YOU WILL EARN YOUR FREEDOM, OR YOU WILL DIE TRYING!

If the big thing opens the cage discharge and head for cover.

>>34217
YOURS WILL BE THE CLAW THAT PEIRCES THE HEAVENS!

For zapping metal things and not zapping our cages or the people who we belong to.

>>34210
you think you can manage that.

>>34223
ZAP HIM! ZAP HIM NOW!

>>34223
JUMP BLINKY, JUMP.

>>34225
this then
>>34227

>>34223
ZAP THE FUCK OUT OF HIM
ALSO RUN
ALSO ALSO USE YOUR TINYNESS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE AND HIDE UNDER SOMETHING.

ZAP HIM AND SCUTTLE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER SCUTTLED BEFORE

ULTRA SCUTTLE!

Crab Battle.

>>34231
You give him all you've got. The creature lets out a series of shrieks and quickly retracts its hand. You take this moment to hop off the counter and quickly scuttle under something.

>>34250
SOMETHING WIDER! HURRY! MAKE SURE HE CAN'T REACH YOU!

SCUTTLE OUT THE DOOR OR INTO A HOLE OR SOMETHING BINKY

Pinch his ass, Binky!

>>34250
Take no shit little dude! Punch his lights out! Yours is the claw that will pierce the heavens!

How many shocks can you deliver? Also, escape is your main option here. Unless you know of a way to kill him. Which I doubt.

You scuttle into the cave in the back. It's very dark in here...

>>34259
CHECK FOR GRUES

Hide in the darkness! Spy into that crack, what's in there?

>>34259

What do your crab eyes see Binky?

Done, and done. The crack is the way you got in here. Outside the creature is flipping things around, possibly looking for you.

>>34263
Take a rest then, Binky. Let's check back on Electric Tongue and Glowing Balls.

>>34263
Scuttle along the wall, so if it opens the door to look in here, we'll be behind the open door.

>>34263
Hide deeper in the darkness!

"I suppose, got anything in mind?"

>>34269
"What are you capable of? Your skills and such? How large are you, tall, wide?"

>>34269
I was gonna say use our tongue to seduce the guard into letting us out.

"If we could get the guard distracted, preferably out the door would be best. I could probably slip myself out of here... Though they've been pretty good at making sure there's a guard here at all times so far..."

>>34273
Do you have any idea how we could do that?

>>34273
Demesi, how strong is the shock from your electric tongue? Maybe if you lured the guard over here, you could zap him. Although, if you can't take him out in a couple hits...

"Unfortunately not off the top of my head..."

>>34278
You attempt to lure the guard over to your cell. He just stares at you and flicks his tongue out at you.

Someone appears in the small window in the door, pounding on it, yelling something in what you assume is Engsami. The guard grunts angrily back to who ever it is.

>>34278

And how do we know hes not into that kind of thing... Well at least we will have the distraction part down.

>>34284
Stick your head out of the bars. It made him start to come towards you last time.

>>34284
Wait and see what happens

>>34287
and if it doesn't, you get to see the girl!

The guard gets up and walks to the door. He begins yelling seemingly very crossly with the person on the other side.

Is Tav doing the Knight in Shining Armor thing again?

You're not sure... but with great speed it grabs the guard's head and gives it a swift, strong twist, making a loud pop just before his body goes limp and drops to the floor.

The figure behind the door lets out a shriek and quickly flees.

The mysterious figure turns to face you and with a familiar voice, "You want me to get you out of there too I'm guessing?"

>>34337
Err, yes, that would be nice.

Whaaaaaat

>>34337

"How did you do that?"
