Fall - Gold weakness

As they headed deeper into the tunnels, it became evident that this was a very different place than the gold mine they'd entered. The walls were carved of stone into rigid hallways and gold bricks lined the passages. Paved floors and torches on the walls lit their way through the structure, although its purpose remained unclear. As they fought past the steady zombie presence in the halls, Fall grew more and more uncomfortable.

"Okay," Fall said as she cut a zombie's head off with a swing of her machete. "Starting to hate this now. The air tastes like gold here."

"Too rich for you?" Baiken joked.

"Not... exactly. It's a long story, but gold and my skin don't exactly get along." She reached out and touched a gold plate in the walls, and almost immediately the skin of her fingertips began to sizzle. She pulled away with a quiet hiss, and Baiken and Carolina shared a look. "Yeah. Even this gold. Great."
