Even though things didn't turn out as planned there's no going back!
Cat also gets up and follows Alice, giving her HP. Then she again attacks the ghoul using her claws with Nick.
Nyaa what's that strange spell Nya? Are they all spellcasters Nya?

Alice goes further without the rope and reaches the skeleton. 
It looks old, hundreds of years, stripped clean by the catfish and a foot below the wrist it's covered in the same muscles seen elsewhere. A current of cold water leads into the tunnel, coming from cracks in the submerged ceiling to the West. The wand is the type used by wizards with a sizeable pointed pink gem on the tip. Alice gives it a tug and the whole hand comes with it, rings included. She zips back and brings the loot to Yulya.

Cat inspects the loot
Nyaa nice nya! This should be useful Nya!

Still looking for adventure, Alice dives back in soon after warming up.

In the mean time Cat prepares a Takoyaki snack worth 1/2 rations.
Since the octopus is tough, Cat minces the meat and mixes it with flour creating meatballs that are stir-fried in cooking oil.
1.5lbs octopus meat
0.5lbs flour
0.1lbs cooking oil

Alice returns without incident after about half an hour, carrying a chest.

Oh another treasure Nya why did the Rockseekers never retrieved all this Nya?

Cat listens to the report.
Nyaa looks like there was quite the fight here Nya I wonder who those people were Nya and why we didn't see a single living orc or goblin Nya...

If there is still time to rest, Cat will hone her claws.

Cat watches the events with growing disbelief



N-Nya? What in Catgods name is going on Nya?
Standing in front of Yulya, Cat is focused on the enemy and spared by the bright light. But she is too late, the snake is defeated by the cats first.

The snake didn't have enough left in him to withstand the barrage, all cats except Ashley Panther hit successfully and their combined damage at a minimum was more than the snake had left. Quickly afterwards they killed both the snake and tore the octopus apart, eating their fill of the fishy delicacy.

Cat rushes in and tries to salvage octopus meat of good quality before it is eaten
Shoo Nya! You can eat the leftovers Nya I gotta collect parts our humans can eat Nya!

Cat proceeds to butcher octopus and snake after fishing Alice out of the water.

Cat is angry she missed the snake and it escaped. When Alice returns with the meat, Cat ties it to her 30ft rope and throws it at the waterline, then slowly pulls the rope with jerky movements as if fishing. She's  staying as far away as possible (30ft) and if a monster moves too close falls back to the others.

From the surface, only Ashley can see what happened.
"Damnit! She's gotten herself in a pinch again, literally, there's some kind of constricting snake wrapping itself around her, it's trying to eat her currently... "
Then she sees something else as you all do, the water is breached by a large Octopus like creature, the water goes black as it surfaces, releasing ink as a cover, this however obscures Alice almost fully. It's huge and sends out tentacles at everyone it can reach (within 15ft.)
Cat is significantly wounded but is able to avoid being grappled.

Cat is angry at herself for being taken by surprise and shakes off the damage. She enters range and acts without hesitation.
 Nya get away from the pond Nya!

Cat grabs the bundle of explosives from Alice's belongings and lights the fuse, while retreating she holds it to the last moment before throwing it at the octopus. Cat retreats 30ft. NE.
Do not engage those monsters yet Nya! We gotta separate them first Nya!

Cat looks at the ceiling
Nyaa we shouldn't let such opportunity go to waste Nya more traps are always good Nya!



If there is time after honing, Cat will set up another cave-in trap like near the entrance

Cat's surprised the ghouls survive her sweep attack but with team work they are taken down. The Triumph doesn't last long as the horde of skeletons appear

Nyaa skeletons Nya I don't like those guys Nya!
Cat shoots a blunt arrow at the nearest skeleton but remains stationary to regenerate her Feline agility and shield those behind her.

Cat signals Alice to be quiet and carefully drags her back to the explosives.
Nyaa I don't want to get caught in an explosion Nya and we don't know how old these sticks are Nya! Better take 3 to be sure Nya.

Cat looks over to Ashley/i]
Ashley Nyaa we need someone here Nya!



If Ashley summons Mr. Bigglesworth, Cat will strap 3 bundled sticks to his back with Alice's string.
