You get into the worm's mouth, which is a rather harrowing experience due to the giant circular maw filled with triangular teeth. Everything about doing it makes your brain scream obscenities at you. Regardless you do get in and do tell it to go down. You're not entirely sure where it goes or how deep, since you're riding blind in the mouth and that lantern that sees through flux doesn't help much with wormflesh. However, eventually the ride stops and you can dully hear the worm resting itself against the bottom.

If there are any flux spiders or squealers nearby, ask them to look around and report back to us what they can 'see' as well as they can.

Either way, ask the worm to (very slowly!) open its mouth so the flux goes in gradually. Then, make our way out and look around with the special lantern, see if we can find an entrance to wherever seems likely to be Sibalbia's crib. Make sure the flux worm doesn't swim away for now.

The core isn't diving, because you can see it. Its something else. You can see its structure but not its purpose, like looking at the innards of a pocket watch. However, you can tell its not drawing power from the rest of this crystal or the magma, it seems to actually be quite isolated. At least physically. There's a haze around the entire place; hard to see but there.

And what about the structures around the artifact, can I tell if these are keeping the thing contained? Or are these responsible for keeping the anti-crystal effect active? 

"The artifact weapon seems to not be drawing any power right now and seems pretty isolated. So perhaps our best bet is to grab a well-isolated and shielded artifact containment box and immediately shove it in there. Kara, perhaps your telegrabber could be useful here, or at least one of the stasis boxes?"

"Allrighty then, enough fucking around. Let's open that door and deal with whatever is on the other side."

First scan the door/doorway to see if I can pick up anything suspicious, like trace amounts of chemicals that might indicate the other side of the door is trapped with explosives or something like that.

If nothing comes up, open the door (maybe with help from a teammate if it's difficult) but only a little bit and stick the environment scanner through the gap to take a picture/short video of what is immediately behind (if video watch or record at a safe framerate). Check the pic/video, if the other side doesn't either contain our mind-raping target and/or a hostile welcoming party or other deadly dangers, open the door fully.

In any case though, if the Wil-murderbot behind me is still intent on shooting everything as soon as the door opens, then let him or someone else open the door and stand to the side, I'd rather not be the next victim to avoidable friendly fire.  :v

Take a look at the core thingie with wizard eyes as well as the structures surrounding it and inform birbgirl of what I can make of it.

Suppose I wanted to do a dive with Balarim => Xi, each reinforced around 3 or so times, would that be a suitable dive to try and summon information about that black thing: what it does, how it works, how it was made, etc? Or does it need different spheres/more reinforcements?

You get a lantern cover for 3 gold. As per difficulty, depends. Are you enchanting an existing flame to modify its properties? Or are you creating a magical fire with those properties? Modifying an existing flame would be harder, but the enchantment would draw power from the flame and continue to exist so long as the flame burnt. A magical fire is easier but has limited life.  In general though, its gonna be in the d6 to d8 levels and will or end depending on how.

Let's do that now before we go down. Since I think summoning rolls will, let's go for the 'creating' option. Retry a failure at least twice.

[10+5v6] You discover and dominate a blux worm fairly easily. You actually do so without even getting a good look at it; you just see a part of its long body as it slithers in and out of the flux and catch it as it does so.  Its as big as a subway train and it seems to know what you're talking about when you "Question" it about some place beneath the flux.

Ask our new wormfriend to surface and spread its mouth so we can climb in then and ride down Gepetto-style (make sure it doesn't accidentally crush us!). Thank the sailfin and ask it to hang around this area for a while, but if we stay away longer than like a day it can just leave.

Ask the worm to go to said place. If we run into any flux spiders or squealers along the way, ask if they can come along for now in case we need to do more exploration.

Go grab what those poor souls had on them (and that hasn't been pulped to mush), and that others don't need. Try to get the riot suit at least, if it isn't shredded.

Check if I could reattach the broken gun arm to Wilbot or to Jibot if I used a toolkit charge, or is it too broken for that?

See if the door to the next sector got compromised.

While waiting, and if I can draw on/with something, make some detailed anatomical drawings of the corpses here (using wizard vision so I don't need to dissect).

If not possible, go check how easy/hard it is to get to the power core.

((Agreed with pan that Darwin will take card of Ecalir's gold for easy bookkeeping.))
Charge up speaking stones with 5 mana each, give 1 to Ecalir.
Put some valuables in a watertight box (for sure artifacts like the glass map and lotus orb, the offerings, the translator book and such).

Leave our animal friends either in whatever stables equivalent they have here in town, or just leave them in a small camp at the shore, with clear instructions so Rexington doesn't try to snack on Yvonne or birbfriend.

Then take the sailfin and sail over the black flux, looking for either a flux worm or some sort of hint of where we need to go.

To the power core! Unless my allies want to wait a bit more, in which case, consider if using my wizard eyes to remove the crystal blocking our path would be possible or if it seems like too much.

Yo, I don't really want to do this any more.

Awwwww, how will I get my fix of katze now?!

Ah well, wouldn't be a real ER game if it didn't die before its time. Thanks for running it though, was fun while it lasted. RIP

"WILFRED WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK."

Shoot a private text message to Pathos:
Code: [Select]
Dear spiderfriend,

Can you shut him the fuck down before he murders us all?!

xoxo, Yagyu
Stay in cover for now. If that robot comes closer without a VERY clear and unambiguous signal/sign from Wil that he has regained control, or a confirmation from Pathos, shoot the robot with the prototype gun. A lot.

If we do get such a signal, wave my arm around the corner for a second to see if it doesn't get shot off, if not go grab what those poor souls had on them (and that hasn't been pulped to mush). And see if the door to the next sector got compromised.

No one ever quite anticipated Stephen Hawking reincarnating as an orca whale, but he did anyway.
Wait, do you mean Stephen Hawking, or STEPHEN HAWKING?

[3+1v6] You are caught by the gravetender in the midst of digging up a freshly buried body. Awkward!
Oh no! Scramble! If needed do an illusion spell using 'hair' and 'skin' to make us look different! Doesn't need to last long either, just to throw off the scent, so to speak.

[7+5v8] You get the suits down to 75 gold each.  And they come with the air tank needed, though you'll have to pay to get it refilled after use. But thats only 1 silver.
We'll buy them then.

Oh, and is it still 30 gold for a pair of speaking stones? The ones that are basically small magical radios that use mana (use die I believe) to convey speech? Or do you think we could use snail mail while inside the diving suits?

Finally, try to use the sunbroer staff to either find and command a sail fin or a flux worm.
