Katadid awakes with a scream.Renraw yawns and stretches his aching muscles, unconsciously tightening around Katadid's leg. When he feels it shaking him off, he jolts awake."Er, did you hear about that Spellflag match last month, Leach?" Renraw grunts, pulling away from Katadid as quickly as he can. "The Ermines are looking good this year, looking very good. Redhurst had better watch their backs. Of course, it's not like they'll shrink from the figh--"Looking up at the others, climbing to their feet, Renraw can read it on Tock's face: Now too large for the complex, they're going to leave. Katadid looks as though he might have some of attack when his cousin makes the announcement.With great reluctance, Renraw pulls the scroll tube with the puzzle mechanism discovered earlier out from his sack and holds it out to his young companion."I have a strong feeling this will help us create more shrinking serum," he says before pausing, frustrated. "I ... have not been able to decipher the combination. Perhaps with your help we can open it."As one, the group turns, looks at the scroll tube in Renraw's hand and silently restrains themselves from murdering him.Opening the scroll tube by opening it properly involves sliding pieces up down the tube. Unbidden, the image of Tosh Bergen's nimble fingers working a lock springs to the Delvers' minds, but the quiet faen's help isn't unavailable here.While the group considers the tube, Kat pulls out the dwarf's flask. He takes a drop of the liquid inside and dabs it on his wrist. He then takes a drop of the shrinking potion and dabs that on his wrist as well to see if the two potions interact with each other in any way.The two drops of liquid fail to do anything interesting, other than serving as dashes of very strange cologne on Katadid's pressure points. For the heck of it, Kat licks the combined mixture to see if there is any effect. They mostly taste like Katadid's wrist. It occurs to him that he hasn't had a chance to properly bathe since falling into Goblin Pond."Ew."Katadid walks over to the glistening scenic cavern and disrobes before diving into the pond. Surfacing enough to cough, he dog-paddles around.He spots the stream that empties out of the cave pond and looks at the opening that it trickles into. Katadid can slip his hand into the opening beneath the cold water, but after a little experimentation, he realizes he cannot get his elbow in. It takes him about a minute to get his arm back out after learning this fact.Feeling freshly washed, Kat puts his clothes back on. He walks back to the werebadger cave where the other are beginning to gather their supplies. The Gentlemen Delvers have had no luck with the puzzle tube, passing it back and forth increasingly roughly in growing frustration."Wait, I think I just remembered a bard song I could use to open the tube!" Tock exclaims. Rags hands it to him and he concentrates on it. He mutters something in a strange language no one understands. He places it upon the ground, kneels, and bows a couple times making arcane gestures.Then he picks up a rock and smashes the damn thing to pieces.</blockquote>
