>>5899875These are the lesser problem, the greater problem is the towering tripodal cluster of eyes and tentacles that seems to be master of the area.
It is currently between you and the only visible exit to this chamber, engaged in biological 3-D printing with its many arms some. Crafting some monstrosity in a crater large enough to house a tank. It is adorned with several sacks of materials that you recognize as similar to what the intestines had in them.
A single meter thick cord of shimmering white attaches it to a low, broad, 10m x 4m dome of the same.
The huntress filled craters cluster around the dome.
The cord is kept suspended from the ceiling by spiderlike creatures that scurry across a latticework of bone and skin. While the ceiling is perhaps 20m from the craters where the tentacle-mass is at, and 10m where the dome is, it’s only perhaps 3m where you are at. Reached easily enough with someone to boost you.
As you peek over the edge of the crater, the shimmering white of the dome seems to clear for a moment and you think you catch a glimpse of some beautiful statue inside, though you couldn’t describe it adequately. The intestine-tubes seem attached to this dome, and you see the entire structure pulse every now and then as one of the many pieces of biological pipework initiate a peristaltic pulse.

>What do?>Suggest sneaking over to the dome and slaying the huntresses and stem-mats stealthily while they slumber. Adamas is confident his Harvestorbs will be able to break the membranes. If the group splits up you should be able to take down two creaters at a time. >Sneak towards the tentacle-monster and attack it while it’s distracted making whatever creature it’s making. Perhaps send Shrike or Trish to climb over the ceiling and attack the cord as well. >Clamber onto and attack the shimmering dome itself, cutting its ties to the umbilicals going upwards and the cord that leads to the tentacle-creature. >There’s actually another empty umbilical hanging on the other side of the dome. Maybe that’s the ‘up’ to the ‘down’ you just took and you should just try to run before you all die horrible deaths. Or worse, get captured alive. >Attempt to sneak or fight your way past the tentacle-monster, aiming for the exit behind it. >Write-In
