?AO: You head back through the door. You can still see the blood-ash stains on the ground.
?AO: Similarly, whose gem, and why?
?AO: Regardless, shall you head onwards?
CAC: >Yes
?AO: The two of you march into the unsightly abyssal hall.
?AO: Passing several large parted roots in the wall, you meet an intersection. There are only two forks this time. Right and left.
CAU: >Peer down the left path.
CAC: >Examine
?AO: At the end of the left path, you can quite clearly see dancing blue flames upon the walls.
?AO: Down the right, merely deep purple lights.
?AO: Of the circular variety.
CAC: >Right
CAU: >Right
?AO: You head right.
CAC: Oh
CAC: God
CAC: Why
?AO: Entering the room, you look around.
CAC: /Off for nourishment.
?AO: It appears to be a long hall of stone bricks, all ascending along a linear stair-path.
?AO: The lights, predictably, were those of what appear to be the plasma rifles of some goblins.
?AO: "Nice... nice work."
?AO: Cyan doesn't seem to be able to fully muster sarcasm in this affair.
CTT ceased responding to memo.

?AO: You dodge behind the bend once more, pulling Cyan by the hand.

CAC: Hell.
?AO: They will have to walk past the bend to get a direct shot.
?AO: That should take some time.

?AO: You splash some regular water on the ground.
?AO: You suppose you might be able to use this as a trap?
?AO: If that's what you had in mind.

CAU: wait what're we gonna do with the water AC?
CAC: Bug Zapper
CAU: Ah. That was my first guess.

CAC: Bail it is.
CAU: >It's the bail, it never fails.
?AO: You flee down the left pathway.
CAC: I suppose we could drown them
?AO: The first goblin slips on the water, and falls, blocking the others from noticing you leaving.
CAU: sup Crystal
?AO: You head down the left path, toward the blue flames.
?AO: After a minor descent, you pop out in what appear to be high-ceilinged underground chambers with makeshift wooden stairs heading in a variety of directions.

?AO: You peer across the chasm.
?AO: Cyan does the same, and the sudden grip on your wrist informs you that this might be quite bad. If you couldn't see it already, of course.
CAC: >What?
CAC: Fucking eldritch tricks
?AO: It appears to be a ritual procession of goblins, all carrying blue-flamed torches, with plasma rifles on their backs. They all seem to be holding up ends of small wooden platforms carrying what appear to be ash-coated wolfish... creatures.
?AO: They are all speaking a phrase repeatedly, in unison.
?AO: Please enter command.
CAC: >What's the phrase?
?AO: "Shrouded by night, but with steady stride. Colored by blood, but always clear of mind."

?AO: Yes, yes. Of course.

?AO: The left goblins do not appear to be hostile, though.
CAU: >Right Goblins: Notice the 48 extreme-leftist goblins across the chasm and start shouting obscenities at them  (joke command)
CAC: Hmm.
CAC: We should fight the right goblins.
CAU: Anyway the right goblins probably are hostile, while the left goblins are more concerned with their rituals.
?AO: It should also be noted that bloodstains are prevalent on the clothing of the left goblins.
?AO: Of course, you can fight, or once more flee downward, if you so wish.
?GG: so uh
?GG: AO

CAC: >Cyan: Renew plasma shield
?AO: Very well.
?AO: Cyan renews the shield just after you toss a primed Gluon Destabilizer at the unpoisoned goblins.
?AO: You don't wonder if you're far away enough from the blast to be safe until the thing goes off.
?AO: Check: succeeded.
?AO: The force of the explosion MERELY forces the two of you off the edge, given the shield. You have a moment to react.
CAC: The edge of what
?AO: Your half of the chasm.
?AO: As opposed to the ritual goblins' half.
CAC: Is the chasm bottomless
?AO: Bottomless things don't exist. Still, you can see no real end.
CAC: >Azure: Use water to slow and cushion fall
CURRENT taintedChampion [CTC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CTC: No
CAC: ?
?AO: What will it be.
CTC: We need a depth gauge
CAU: hm, maybe cyan could point her shield downward as well
CAC: Wouldn't that evaporate the water
CTC: What if we can't get back up
?AO: It is still an entirely feasible course of action to carry yourselves back up, you know.
?AO: Like, you've only just fallen.
CTC: Oh
CTC: Do it
?AO: How?
CAC: >Make a platform of condensed water
CAU: naturally, water tends to collect at the bottom of chasms since it is a point of low ground. thus, we can use the water at the bottom of the chasm to make a platform.
CAU: >So yeah, water platform.
CAC: I mean, we have water.
CAU: Also that :V
?AO: You land on a platform of superdense water. In lieu of just falling down, you use the platform to pull you back up, away from the doorway.
CAU: I was practicing my asinine logic skills.
?AO: ENEMY TURN.
CAC: Doorway?
?AO: The right goblins step out onto the platform, looking your way.
?AO: The intersection of the left path and this chasm, yes.
CTC: Drop them?
?AO: It is not your turn.
CTC: Also https://memecrunch.com/meme/679NH/y-all-motherfuckers-need-satan
CAC: "memecrunch"
?AO: Several goblins across the chasm carefully place their oaken platforms on the ground, breaking their chant.
?AO: "Behold, southward!"
CTC: Terrible
?AO: The chanting ceases.
CTC: But PS4
?AO: The leftist goblins pull out a number of rifles, and...
?AO: They absolutely annihilate the right goblins with bursts of deadly flesh-melting plasma.
CAC: Reee tankies.
CAU: I knew it.
?AO: They all proceed to shoulder their weapons, pull up their platforms, and continue the procession.
CAC: Well then.
CTC: Yay
?AO: The chant returns.
CAC: >Loot right goblins
CTC: Bigotry
?AO: You get another fourteen plasma rifles! Hooray.
?AO: Just what you wanted.
CTC: Bigotry saves the day
CAC: >Go right
?AO: What, the right path, or the right staircase?
CAC: Right path
?AO: You return to the room on the right. The room terminates on a raised stone area with a pedestal bearing a hand symbol in the center.
?AO: There are no further doorways from there.
CAC: >Hand the hand
?AO: You place your hand to the hand. Immediately, a vial tinted rose is revealed by a sliding panel in the side of the pedestal.
CAC: A...vial...tinted rose?
?AO: Yes.
?AO: Shall ye take it?
CSE ceased responding to memo.
CAU: It is clear to me now. Consumption of this concoction will result in you seeing things as if they were better than they really are. 
?AO: Or examine it, perchance.
CAC: Is it a rose than looks vialy or just weird phrasing.
CAC: >Examine
?AO: I was referring to a color.
CAU: >Examine
?AO: Draught of Tears: A corked vial of rose quartz, filled with some sort of unknown substance. You haven't any idea what this thing does. That which is dead can eternal lie, o'er altar grave and incensed sky.
CTC: Heals gems
CAC: ...we already got one.
?AO: Indeed you did.
?AO: Here is another.
CAU: good stuff
?AO: Shall you take it?
CTC: Too obvious
CAC: >Ye
?AO: +1 Draught of Tears.
?AO: Oh, but you weren't here for the improper ritual parameter command when they tried to use it, champion.
CTC: What
?AO: What indeed.
CAC: We need three, to be brief.
CTC: Also I'm Revan
?AO: I know who you are. Blah blah, OldSithRevan, et cetera.
?AO: Where now?
CTG ceased responding to memo.
CAC: >To the left
?AO: You head back to the left chasm.
?AO: ...
?AO: The procession is still producing yet more goblins.
CAC: ...it's producing goblins?
?AO: It is figurative language.
CAC: Ah.
CAC: >Right staircase
?AO: You traverse the right staircase.
CTC: Goblins are born in hallways
?AO: The two of you proceed for what is at least three minutes until you reach the bottom.
CTC: So
?AO: The end of the depths is rather horrific, you think.
?AO: Oaken crosses on the earthy ground bear burnt beasts akin to those on the platforms, nailed to the things.
CTC: Should we get Strangelove to examine the Draughts?
?AO: Should you?
CAC: You should read the log.
?AO: ^
?AO: Or, more accurately, have you already.
CAC: >Ignore them, look around
?AO: Both you and Cyan shudder, then look about some more.
?AO: There appear to be hazel-wrought doors in the earth, all sealed. There are no windows, though there are certainly incense-filled lanterns lining the narrow walls.
CAC: Hmm.
CAC: >Wonder if exploring here will annoy the goblins above
?AO: They to ignore you in every instance, so probably not?
?AO: *appear to.
CAC: >Open hazel door
?AO: You pull open a hazel door to reveal standard living quarters.
CTC: Also is Flipside a reference to Paper Mario?
?AO: All seems to have been thrown about hastily inside, as if an evacuation was made not long ago.
?AO: No.
?AO: More of a reference to the acts of mister Slick.
CAC: >Indulge kleptomania anyways
?AO: However fictional they may be in this realm.
?AO: Nothing of value appears to be within, save for some water mixed with ash in a bottle.
CAC: >Leave room
CAC: >Count hazel doors
?AO: You exit the room, counting exactly twenty-four hazel doors in this particular stretch, though the place seems to open up to a larger area further down.
CTC: Thannks
CAC: >Go through all of them, looting everything of note, unless any aren't living quarters
?AO: They all appear to be houses. There's absolutely nothing different about them from the first in any manner, save for just how much of a dissarray the rooms are.
?AO: *disarray.
CTC: Also Strangelove is my favorite asshole
CAC: Did we take the ash water?
?AO: You did not.
CAC: Also, any loot?
CAC: >Take ash water
?AO: +1 Ashwater Serum. Would you like to examine?
CAC: >Examine
?GG: damn, I dıed
?AO: Ashwater Serum: Shrouded by night, but with steady stride. Colored by blood, but always clear of mind. The first medical line of defense against the Ashen Plague beneath the trees. One cannot tell whether it was the source or the treatment, quite frankly.
CTC: Oooh
?AO: The only other thing of note to loot is a large jar of incense in house fifteen.
CAC: >Take
?AO: +1 Incense Jar.
CTC: Could Strangelove create an antidote?
?AO: You don't know.
CAC: >Examine jar
?AO: He is rather... preoccupied at the moment, though.
?AO: Incense Jar: Glass jar of herbal incense from the old days. Said to ward of the beasts of the Plague.
?AO: *off.
?AO: Please enter command.
CAC: Huh...
CAC: >Go to larger area
?AO: You head to the larger area.
?AO: You both emerge out on what appears to be a stone balcony overlooking a massive carven chamber, lit up near the bottom by magma ducts and incense lanterns. There is an elevator on the balcony platform itself.
?AO: There are a great deal of shapes moving down in the room below.
CAC: >Does the elevator go up or down
?AO: Down.
CAC: >Examine shapes
?AO: They are the goblins from the procession, it seems. The same chant rings up at least a hundred feet into your ears.
CAC: >Go down
?AO: They all appear to be taking the oaken platforms down to a large bonfire, where they are tossing the beast corpses within the flames, and parting from the group, into side-chambers.
CAC: >Wait until they clear out
?AO: The flow is unending. The night of the hunt is long and unchanging, after all.
CAC: Well then.
CAC: >Consider waiting until day.
?AO: You look at your phone, Cyan craning over your shoulder to examine it. The time is about nine forty PM.
CAC: >Alright, go down
?AO: You descend.
?AO: Reaching the floor of the area, the goblins all seem to ignore you, focused on their task instead. You have free reign, it seems.
CAC: >Look about
?AO: There are a few alleyways leading to more houses, as well as two staircases heading further downward.
?AO: One on the left side of the room, the other on the right.
CAC: >Right
CAC: >Are goblins in the houses?
?AO: You pass through the ground, holding Cyan's hand to keep you from separating in the mass crowd.
?AO: Likely so.
?AO: There is more chatter here.
?AO: Heading down the right stairs, you note that the place is rather silent.
?AO: Too silent, perhaps?
CAC: >Be ready for a fight
?AO: Regardless, the chamber leads onwards, magmatic slits in the walls providing light. There is a door at the end of the hall.
CAC: >Open
?AO: You open the door, revealing a cubic room with exactly two other doors in it, side by side. One has naught but a single pentagonal carving in the center, the other possesses a hand with three navy hashes.
CAC: >Open hand door
?AO: You unseal the hand door, cautiously peering within. Cyan's grip on your hand grows a bit tighter.
CAC: Hey Erelye, could you give names to the list of logs?
?AO: I suppose, but why?
CAC: Easier to navigate.
?AO: ((Do you want, like, 'Mu Sector, part X', and such, or something else?))
CAC: Pretty much, yeah.
?AO: ((I'll do that after this session.))

CTC: Ciao for now.
CTC ceased responding to memo.
?AO: One in particular is the most interesting. "Seek the altar grave at the summit of the Manufactory. There you will find you escape." The only other one you can find is "Splintering gems best not succumb to the Plague."
?AO: *your escape, fuck.
CAC: ... How specific
CAC: >Try the other room
?AO: Probably, given the pictograms of monoliths and large carven citadels on the walls.
?AO: You move to head back, but the chandelier rattles against the walls, of its own accord.
CAC: >Prepare to fight?
?AO: You ready your weaponry.
?AO: An inscription is just above the door, actually. "Ye will smell them as an odor before they descend. Beware the blades of the afflicted."
CAC: >Do you smell anything?
?AO: Something vile, indeed. Rotted flesh, and ash.
?AO: Pungent indeed are the fumes.
CAC: >Make shields pointed upwards

?AO: You defend yourselves just in time, as a hideous wolflike creature leaps from the chandelier, landing before you.

?AO: She screams, sails backwards, and strikes the wall.

?AO: It proceeds to grab hold of you, breaking your concentration.

?AO: Your back strikes the thing, and you absolutely freak out, hot tears of pain streaking down your face. Cyan quickly deactivates the shield, before anything can get much worse.

?AO: There's nothing inside, save for a stone tablet bearing an unrecognizable eldritch symbol, and some carvings on the walls.
?GG: well
?GG: unfrıended hım
CAC: >Examine carvings
?AO: There's another picture of what you assume is the Lambda Manufactory, and the visage of the horrid Plague Doctor, beneath which Rodarbi text labels him Aft'mathai the Horrible.
CAC: He created ashen plague?
?AO: It appears so. It would fit in with Topaz's ailment, certainly.
?AO: The symbol on the tablet seems familiar to you.
?AO: Somehow.
CAC: >Recall?
?AO: You ponder it.
?AO: A sudden recollection from nowhere draws forth a conclusion.
?AO: Thkhu-ustmiagl.
?AO: That was it.
?AO: It seems important.
CAC: ...
CAC: >Ask Cyan if she knows what that is
?AO: What, Thkhu-ustmiagl?
CAC: Yea
?AO: She looks at you oddly. "... You can read that?"
CUC: Hold on, I'm translating.
CAC: "No... I just. Remember it from somewhere?"
CUC: 'Magic water place'. Aklo.
?AO: "Hmm. What do you know about it?"
CTG: how the hell did you figure that out
CUC: I have an Aklo dictionary saved to my phone.
CTG: aklo?
?AO: ((Thkhu is magic, agl is the suffix denoting place, and ustmi is water.))
CUC: And I have the equivalent of ctrl-F.
CUC: It's Lovecraft language.
?AO: ((We both have translations of the language.))
CAC: >"Uh... Something to do with magic water place?"
?AO: "..."
?AO: "Sounds like you're taking it too directly, to be entirely honest."
CUC: ((Twin, have link: http://aklo101.tumblr.com/ ))
?AO: ((^))
CAC: >"Maybe... "
CUC: "I think that's just the most direct translation, yeah."
CAC: >Look up what it is
?AO: ERROR: Tongue of the ancients detected. Level 451 clearance required.
CAC: I thought levels that high were classified?
?AO: Nah, they appear when reached. The number of levels is classified.
CAC: Ah
CUC: >Respond to Cyan:"...Yeah, I think that was just the most direct translation. It definitely could be interpreted any number of ways."
?AO: "Yeah."
CAC: >Try having your water touch the symbol?
?AO: "I mean, a water place, or whatever, would probably either be a body of water."
?AO: Nothing happens in response.
?AO: "Or some kind of storm, maybe?"
CAC: Storm...
CAC: >Try making a storm with your powers combined or whatever
CAC: /brb
?AO: You do so, touching the tablet to no avail.
CUC: >"Or some place where 'magic water', whatever that might be, is made or stored. Who knows."
?AO: "Hmm, yeah. Magic body of water. Occult Sea? Recondite Ocean? Maybe just Magic Bottle, or something. I don't know many more synonyms of magic, really."
CAC: >Try pouring rose water?
?AO: ERROR: wasting ritual water on this is probably the worst thing to do.
?AO: "Water."
?AO: Tears, saliva, whatever it may be.
CAC: Are those not water
CAC: >Try the ash water?
?AO: Nothing happens.
?AO: You have yet to comprehend the meaning, let alone what this is.
CAC: >Retrieve
CAC: Oh
?AO: You take the Ashwater Serum back.
CAC: >Leave?
?AO: The door is sealed.
?AO: It closed behind you.
CAC: Hmm
?AO: Would you just like to start spouting possible meanings at the thing, or something else?
CAC: >... Sure
?AO: "Mystic Vial. Um. Occult Bottle. Eldritch Sea?"
?AO: "Recondite Sea?"
?AO: "... Arcane Lake."
?AO: Cyan's eyes widen, as if she hadn't meant to say that, yet she did.
?AO: The symbol before you is burned into the minds of all within the room. Would you like to examine it within?
CUC: >Yes.
?AO: Large bodies of water serve as a bulwark guarding sleep. Astral communion of consciousnesses in sleep is entirely possible for those attuned to the dripping.
?AO: The door opens behind you.
CAC: Hmm.
CAC: >Leave
?AO: You exit the Arcane Lake chamber.
CTG: ((AC: hey))
?AO: Your phone rings with a text from Strangelove.
CURRENT alternateCreeper [CAC] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CAC: ((Hello!))
CAC: >Checj
CAC: Check
CAC: ((Anyway, CU: You don't have any life bottles to rez people. Want to change up your action?))
?AO: "SOMETHING APPEARS RATHER WRONG. OUR PATIENT APPEARS TO BE UNDERGOING SOME SORT OF REPEATED SEIZURE, ACCOMPANIED BY SCREAMING AND POSSIBLE BODILY DIFFUSION. AID REQUESTED."
CTG: ((tazz isn't pinged by anything))
CTG: ((you're better off pestering him directly, I guess))
CUC: ((^))
CAC: >Run back
CAC: ((thank))
CAC ceased responding to memo.
?AO: You rush back to the ship. It still takes five minutes.
CAC: >Examine scene
?AO: When you enter the thing, Topaz appears to be curled up on the ground, hands covering her face. She is definitely crying, though the look in her eyes is quite distant. Dull, perhaps?
CAC: >Show Strangelove Ashen Water
?AO: "INTERESTING. SCANS SHOW THIS IS UNADULTERATED, HOW SHOULD I SAY THIS, PLAGUE JUICE."
CAC: >"Can you... Reverse engineer a cure from it?"
CTG: ((split got to 4-1 as melting))
?AO: "NEGATIVE. I MAY BE ABLE TO REVERSE-ENGINEER IT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE DISEASE, BUT IT APPEARS THAT SOME SORT OF OCCULT METHOD WILL BE REQUIRED TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE DONE."
CAC: >Offer him the serum
?AO: Strangelove accepts a sample "COULD YOU AID THE PATIENT WHILE I ANALYZE THIS?"
?AO: *sample.
CAC: >Aid her?
?AO: How?
CAC: >Try talking to her
?AO: What shall you say?
CAC: >"... What's wrong
?AO: ...
?GG: holy shıt
CAC: ... That's terrible, but idk.
?AO: That is literally one of the worst things to say after an anxiety/panic attack/seizure, holy shit.
?GG: number 8 on the leaderboard
?GG: wow
CAU: 10/10 relationship skills
?AO: How about you try again?
CUC: "Do you need anything? How can I help you?" (sound good?)
CAC: ... is there some sort of list of things you shouldn't say or
CAC: I don't have personal experience in this.
?AO: I've got a little, along with accounts from others. You don't say that.
?AO: Would you like to go with Crystal's response?
?GG: hey crys, how far have you gotten ın slıther.ıo
CUC: I've gotten up to maybe level 2 on the leaderboard?
CAC: Yeah.
CUC: Can't remember.
?GG: ah
?AO: Very well.
?GG: I just got 8th
?GG: whıch ıs nıce
?AO: Topaz blinks a little, looking up to you, light returning to her eyes.
CTG: playing slither.io as The Godmodder
?AO: She winces at the light in the ship. "I-I. Uh. Don't worry about me. I'm... I'm f-fine."
CUC: Nice, Twin. Unfortunately, homework, else I'd join you.
CAU: pass me that server link twin
CAC: Yeah, I'm just... Not going to say anything 
CAC: >Turn off the lights?
?AO: You turn off the lights, as somebody in this memo hopefully suggests something feasible to say.
CUC: Sorry, work.
CUC: Someone else pick up the slack.
?AO: Would you like to save your game, and return to this conversation at a later date?
?GG: yes
?AO: Saving...
?AO: Saving...
?GG: how far have you gotten, twın
?AO: Game saved successfully. Would you like to quit?
CAC: >y
?AO: Game quit. Have a nice day.
