Joe leaps out of the pool and begins running.
He grabs John by the front of his shirt.
The two are moving with such momentum that they spin past each other.
But they somehow end up facing the same direction.

The Hydramera drops, planting his weight on his back legs.
He lowers his head.

Y tumbles out of the pool and runs after the others.

The monster charges after them.
The three men from Sea Quartz flee into the narrow passage ways.
Hopefully, this will slow down the advance of the enemy chasing them.

Joe manages to glance back over his shoulder and sees the Goat's Head just a few feet behind them.
John grabs him and yanks him the other way as the three round the corner.

The Goat slams into the wall, smashing right through it.

This gives John and the others a brief moment of respite and they are able to flee back to the Compass Room without pursuit.
However, they hear the crashing sound of the Goat coming after them.

"If it's just him, maybe we can-" John falls silent.
Would they bet their lives on it?

The Long Passage which leads to the upper keep, and the outside of the castle, is right there.
If these three keep running... they'll actually...
Even John, who never thought he'd see it...

Would be able to see sunlight one time before he died.

3. Stunt. Found life, but all living things eventually die. Purged by Qslvl.

7. Remulel was ripped apart by the Hydra Heads. Marked for death by Hydramera.
8. IG-59 was disintegrated by the Goat Heads. You win some, you lose some.



Slowly but surely, the wreckage of the Lift returns to the surface.
Standing there in the darkness, alone, is none other than Mara Raiev.

The Red Crystal she holds in her hands is pulsing with a strong magical power.
The room here is filled with death.
With memory and pain. Especially the fear of perishing forever.
It's reacting strongly with the cracked orb that she's holding.

Mara smiles. "... Hmm..."

The crystal in her hand.
The light grew bright and then dim.
Rising and falling like the tide.
It was an odd ebb and flow.

Around here many bodies were scattered.
She'd missed the battle once again.
Rather, she'd avoided it at all costs.
So she could return, alive, with treasures and knowledge.
