>>5317092https://youtu.be/CQ-CKGi5jCMThe four of you land seconds before the tentacle does. Crashing into a heap on the catwalk, none of you bother getting up as the demonic appendage reduces the connecting bridge to scrap!
“The hell are you guys waiting for!?” Growls Art as he stumbles to his feet, “We can still use another bri-”
Like leviathans in the deep, more massive tentacles get to work destroying the remaining links to the center! As the totem’s low, rumbling hum is overpowered by screeching metal, you watch in disbelief as even <span class="mu-i">more</span> trouble emerges from the patches of flesh throughout the chamber!
“Aw <span class="mu-i">CRIPES,</span>” Ly remarks as you both watch a goo-covered golem sentry emerge like a homicidal baby chick from an egg, “Things just got a little trickier, cupcake!”
Freeing itself from the fleshy prison, the golem’s singular eye glows red as it regards you from afar! With barely a blink, the sentry bursts out from the remaining flesh and rockets towards you with jets of magic from its feet!
“<span class="mu-s">PRIMITIVES!</span>”
Whirling to face the familiar voice, you spot Teevor’s tiny figure wildly waving to you from the central control platform! “<span class="mu-s">YOU HAVE TO HURRY–I’VE GOT IT ALL SET UP FOR Y-</span>”
Before he can elaborate on why <span class="mu-i">YOU</span> have to do the work, you get your answer almost immediately. Staggering to the side like he was struck by an invisible brick, the skeleton mage grips his hooded face and stumbles to the side of the platform! As a fresh coat of flesh forms over his workstation, your prisoner takes one too many steps to the side and tumbles head over heels into the shadowy abyss below…
… before immediately floating back up!
“<span class="mu-r">STtaNLEeeY!</span>” The mage roars as his glowing eyes shift from yellow to rusty red, “<span class="mu-r">GgGOTTTaaa SEEECrrreRrET FFFoorR YOOoOU....</span>”
Whipping his skull back in manic laughter, the mage wastes no time in forming two handfuls of <span class="mu-r">FIREBALLS</span>!
“<span class="mu-r">ShHOULdA AAANswwEERED THe RAAAdiiiIOOO!!!</span>”
“Stanley,” Hisses Sybil as your pals prepare for a scrap, “You <span class="mu-i">need</span> to dig in and reset that terminal <span class="mu-i">NOW!</span>”
“You heard the witch!” Talbot roars as he wrenches free a few pieces of catwalk with his metallic tendrils, “We reset this thing, this freak goes bye-bye!”
Sure, you nod as the mage and the golems draw close, but how the hell are you supposed to get over there!?
>HAVE TALBOT CHUCK YOU TO THE CENTER!>IF SYB BLINKS WITH YOU, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET OVER!>CATCH A RIDE ON A GOLEM!>TEEVOR’S FLOATING–SUCK HIM IN WITH THE BACKUUM AND HITCH A RIDE!>WRITE-IN!
