[spoiler]Chain 9 Must have missed the notification, sorry![/spoiler] The other skeleton collapses and you are alone in the tiny room with the gate!
-
[spoiler]Its fine![/spoiler] Blaze takes a deep breath, and looks around the room for a way to open the gate.
-
After a moment, you find a key ring in a pile of bones from one of the skeletons!
-
Blaze grabs it, and tries to open the gate with one of the keys.
-
On closer inspection, it's just one key with a bunch of little medallions and charms. The door opens and a long, narrow cavern lies ahead, with the stream of water running through it.
-
Blaze walks forward slowly, glancing around for any more monsters.
-
Trekking trough dark empty caverns and tunnels full of rubble, you eventually emerge upon the black sand beach of a vast, underground lake... To your left you see a bridge with torches alit with violet flames that leads to a platform at the center if the lake. [spoiler]And I'm going to continue this last part in a final public event later on![/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Chain 8[/spoiler] At the end of the tunnel you come to a large, rectangular chamber with a canal running through the center, and piles of pulsing flesh scattered throught. Upon the walls, the floors, hanging from the ceiling, with many mouths and eyes and lashing tendrils, all singing some incomprehensible tune. Across from you is another door, and between you and said door stands a massive golem of flesh, with trunk like legs, four thick arms, and no discernible head. It paces around the room aimlessly.
-
Blaze tries to sneak past the golem, shuddering from the singing.
-
As you creep through the room, you notice the eyes from the flesh blobs watching you... the nearest one starts to sing louder and the golem turns in your direction, slowly lumbering towards you!
-
Blaze generates an astral crystal from his arm, and throws it like a dagger at an eye on the other side of the room.
-
The fleshling screams and the golem changes course towards it, charging with a deep roar!
-
“That’s good to know.” Blaze says in his head, as he tries to quickly sneak to the door.
-
You're half way through the room when the golem slams into the wall, then roars and starts thrashing and flailing around, vaguely in your direction!
-
Blaze throws a knife at another eye, and keeps moving as quietly as possible.
-
The fleshling catches the knife with a tendril and throws it back at you, impacting the dirt! The golem slams into the wall beside the door and starts pounding the ground around it!
-
Blaze looks for something to pick up and throw.
-
There are plenty of rocks around for you to throw. The golem ceases its tantrum and starts to calm down, listening...
-
Blaze tries to quietly pick it up, and throws it to the opposite end of the room.
-
It ignores the sound of the rock as one of the pods above singing louder! The golem stomps towards you!
-
Blaze tries to quietly run away.
-
It changes course, still coming for you. As it gets closer, you see it does have several small eyes within the smooth surface of its chest, all glaring at you as it lifts a hand to smoosh you!
-
Blaze shoots at the eyes. “If you can see me, then I’ll talk! I hope you like seeing lead!”
-
It stumbles and hides its face with one massive hand, falling past you!
-
Blaze tries to avoid it falling on him, and runs for the door.
