Cat lets out a triumphant roar obliterating the drake. She gives Nixie temporary HP just as new drakes pop up.
Nyaaa? More enemies Nya?

Having her sensitive ears again damaged by Alice's blast and paying no attention to the Myconoids for the moment, Cat races W around Drake2 and attacks it flanking with one of the cats. Again she tries to deal a Heavy blow with her Greatsword.

As you walk East past the old ale barrels now repurposed for ore, you see several areas where the false floors have collapsed.

Alice peeks down into the abyss
This mine is riddled with holes! We must be more careful with explosives...
Memorize the gaps! I don't want anyone to fall down there if we gotta retreat fast.

Cat is also more concerned with the holes than the crystals.
Nyaa that won't do Nya. We need some good markers Nya.

On the way, Cat picks up rocks and places them on the floor, cordoning off dead ends and holes.
Now even in bad visibility we should safely find our way back Nya!

Yulya is not fond of wobbly bridges over chasms with potential monsters lurking below and crosses as fast as possible. She casts LIGHT on a small rock and tosses it into the hole to see what happens.

Cat readies her bow to shoot anything that would react to the light.
Stay clear from the edge Nya and be ready to fall back Nya!

Cat looks at the orc remains
We should destroy any skeletons that look like they could rise up again and cause trouble Nya!

Alice takes her 10ft pole and pokes the puffball in the NW corner, ready to move back should it release spores or something. If it does nothing, Alice uses Phagocytosis on a fungus to determine if it is an ordinary living being.
Cat, is this edible?

Cat shakes her head at her alien friend's tastes.
Nya maybe for you Nya! I wouldn't eat that Nya but you try first Nya! But be careful Nya!

With confusion Cat sees Alice letting go of the zombie and run off
Damnit Nya what are you doing Alice Nya?

Cat gives temp HP to Nixie and continues to attack the ghoul with her claws using Nick.

Nyaa not you guys again Nya!
Cat activates Rage and uses Feline Agility to charge and jump down on the nearest ghoul W of them (bludgeoning dmg?). She attacks him with her claws using Nick

Cat rests after butchering and hones her sword if there is time.  Then she goes fishing with Alice on a rope. But it's not long enough.
Nyaa can't you use your 10ft pole Nya? At least to probe the surroundings Nya maybe there's another trap Nya.

Cat gives temporary HP to Nixie. She yanks at the bait to try to get the monsters attention
Quiet Nya! If this doesn't work Na we'll have to use Alice again Nya!

Alice escapes just in time to avoid further injury and zips her way out of danger through the now blackened water.[/i]
Now more seal then otter, she escapes using disengage and dash using her voodoo Monk powers, as the snake laments its poor luck, not having seen a meal in ages.

Cat nearly shoots the strange creature popping out of the water until she realizes it's Alice.

With near perfect aim and timing, Cat throws the explosives and hits exactly where she means to, again with incredible luck!
The explosion doesn't come without consequences however, aside from deafness 3 again, the repeated blasts take a toll on your ears.
Cat, Ashley and Nixie are affected and take force damage of 4,4, and 2 respectively. More explosions this day will lead to more damage.

Nyow my poor ears Nya sorry about that Nya we were too close Nya! Everyone alright Nya?
The question is moot now that everyone is deafened again though.



Cat oversees the retreat making sure everyone makes it to safety. She bestows extra HP on Alice.

Obscured by the murky water but not by enough to matter, the snake can be seen waiting with its eyes just above the water level, he is attempting, but failing to wait in ambush.

Cat takes out her heavy crossbow and shoots a jagged bolt at the snake's head hoping to do some damage on this difficult target
