>>5718738>>5718739>>5718755>>5718758>>5718760Theodore can feel his body aching under this sensation of increasing duress. Forcing his body any more than what he is managing now will definitely have some repercussions. His pace slows down. The Bewear's breathing has become shaken.
The two are discussing something, taking a moment to pause on a platform during the ascent.
>Castform has unequipped the Weather Vane. >Theodore has unequipped the Tome of Transformation.>>5718761The Transfer Orb glows a bright blue color, unleashing its contained power. Almost immediately, the light becomes a blazing neon green and a sickly dark glow. Ash gathers around the orb before it strikes the only other target in the vicinity, Theodore. He feels his molecules rearranged, and not in a good way!
>There are no ferals detected.Theodore has been afflicted with <span class="mu-g"> Rapid Decay </span>. His body has taken on an ashen appearance as flakes dance off his once-pristine fur.
>>5718740Charles is unable to find anything particularly useful. He does recall that there might be some kind of rowboat attached to the Heiress... however, Sable manages to spot a precariously standing rock that could form a temporary bridge across. It won't reach all the way, but it would save them having to swim all the way across.
>>5718745>>5718749>>5718756He easily shatters the face of the cliff and creates a space for him to create a safe fast-rope down. He catches a lungful of the airborne ash and experiences a <span class="mu-g"> short, if violent, coughing fit. </span> Steadying himself after the ordeal, he manages to make it down to the level where the two are closer together. With the rope as a sort of swing, Kaku passes over the gap with ease. Now he just has to... climb back up.
Spiritomb's presence in the air is causing the condition to worsen. The tearing sensation is becoming <span class="mu-g"> increasingly significant, pulsing and rippling through all the spirits. </span>
Astor's words are nebulous as he directs his encouragement to... someone. The team at the cliffs feels moderately reassured. Like an awkward pat on the back.
>>5718746>>5718753Walking to where it's pouring, Stern finds that there is a convenient cave shelter just before where the rain is concentrated. Seeing any further than a couple feet in front of him is impossible, it seems, as the veritable sheets of unknown rain drown out thoughts and vision like an endless waterfall. Particles of some kind dance around between the droplets.
