You decide to head back outside to gather materials for a rope, or maybe you should stay here and ... hey, does anybody else feel fuzzy? I - woah. OK, trying to stand back up now. Everyone's holding onto me but I'm not going anywhere. I mean, I'm right here, and ...
The white worm descends straight down from the sky. Its head touches the mountain top and it curls around it, embracing it, crushing it. The worm slithers down the mountain valleys. It brings a flow of ice and uprooted trees and boulders and log cabins smashed to kindling. Its scales the size of doors, shredding the land, it carves the bare stone with unknown glyphs spelling out sky-secrets. The worm reaches the sea and rears up, silhouetted against the yellow orb of the sun, which is actually just the yolk of an egg from which the worm will be born.You wake up. You're feeling very disoriented but nothing else seems wrong. Your hand has been washed and bandaged. The girls are standing around looking concerned, and now that you're awake they're asking you questions but you can't hear their voices.
Oh right, their voices were stolen. Yes. Good. Things are coming back. Pearl is asking if you can stand.
You stand up. You're a little wobbly but should be able to continue adventuring.
Pearl explains that you must have been bitten by something poisonous because there was a fresh cut on your hand. She says that they didn't want to try moving you, so they tried the linked-belt-rope idea. It was too heavy to fire with an arrow, but if someone stood on someone else's shoulders you could tie off the belts on something in the gallery above, and then everyone could climb up. Pearl also wiped an area of the wall clear with her cloak for climbing. The cloak now needs some serious washing since it's covered in the black gunk. She shrugs - adventuring is messy work.
She asks, "Do you remember being bitten?"
You're all kind of standing around in the room. Claire and Charlotte are still keeping an eye on you.
