Round 156 Transcript

As Seraphine pulls Merrin out of the water, she can feel her own strength beginning to wane. The cold water is seeping into their bones, and the exertion of swimming against the current has taken its toll. Varikka, still trapped by the tentacle, thrashes about in the darkness, her cries for help echoing through the tunnel. The water level continues to rise, and Seraphine can see the faint glow of luminescent markings on the walls of the tunnel, illuminating the dark. The creatures are closing in, their bioluminescent eyes fixed on the party like predators stalking prey. The sound of rushing water is deafening, and Seraphine knows they must move quickly if they hope to escape. As she looks around, Seraphine notices a small, rickety bridge spanning the width of the tunnel, partially hidden by the darkness. It looks precarious at best, but it might provide them with a chance to cross the churning water and reach safety. However, the bridge is also the only thing standing between them and the creatures that are now mere feet away, their glowing eyes fixed on the party with an unnatural hunger. Do you want to:

Icy water floods my lungs as I struggle to breathe. My legs feel heavy, numb from the cold. But I have to keep moving. Varikka's still out there, and Seraphine too. If we don't find them soon, it'll be too late.
