Bob rummages through his pack and finds three empty water bottles, a map, and a fire-starting kit. He also has his Coppermind, all memories tapped and mostly useless in this situation. Bob feels almost certain that this wound will kill him. He pours the last few drops of water on his wound. Surely there’s something else he can do. He lights a match and raises it to his wound, in the hope that maybe…it would burn the bacteria away?

If it’s shallow enough maybe he can cauterize it?

The beasts on the roof look confused, then turn to find another target. However, Sharp lands directly in a huge patch of vines and flowers. The flowers puff spores at him and abruptly the metal in his stomach vanishes. The vines begin to tighten around him. The Beast roars and goes down hard, but another one is coming up from behind and slashes at Lacket’s legs. Sharp does his best to fight free of the vines, snapping as many as he can with his dueling canes Quote also you never said if the coin embedded in his back was made of gold or not, can I use it as a metalmind???

Sorry bout that. Ah…y’know what sure. It’s a gold coin, a little thicker than a penny, with the words “EDDIE ROCKS” on one side and a picture of my face on the other, and it’s made of gold.

When he finally makes his way to the roof, he climbs to the north edge of the roof to see if this building leads right to the next, or if he has to jump to get across, not burning any metals.

While he’s there he really wants to protect Dug Nora for some reason. He vaguely identifies this as a soothing, but in his injured state he can’t stop this from happening. He takes out his extremely-scary file and looks around to see if there’s anyone attacking Dug Nora.

Sharp uses the same tactic again, relaxing so the vines stop tightening, then slipping away best he can, and finally filing away any remaining clingers.

SmilingPanda19 Any! Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 A pair of dark red eyes appear out of the dirt and bushes, staring right at Dug. It was impossible to look away. "Why hello there beautiful." Her voice is eerie. Before she almost sounded like a monster, some kind of wolfish deformed possessed piece of flesh. Now she seems more human, like she has a will of her own. Its almost as if she wants this. A creepy laughter follows her words and she crawls out of the shadows. Its gotten worse, she is even bigger, more wolf like, flesh torn and muscle revealed. Half of her face is just the muscle and the other half is lined with fur like hair. She drips with blood and saliva.
