[sblock=Jakobee]Under the constant barrage of Jakobee's assault, the black goo finally subsides and is still. Steaming, but still. The moment the stuff stops moving, Jakobee can hear what sounds like a girl, if she could laugh underwater. It is very faint, and coincides with the black stuff not moving anymore.[/sblock]
[sblock=Grok and John]A sound like a girl laughing underwater is faintly heard in this echoey, damp cavern. The direction is indeterminate.[/sblock]
[sblock=Roderic]Roderic's constant unease in this place suddenly spikes, then subsides after a few moments.[/sblock]
[sblock=Scrag]Scrag's attention is drawn to the cliff face behind him. A series of pictograms is smeared onto it's surface in what appears to be blood. Scrags trollish mind interperets the pictogram with surprising ease: "When you see US, WE see you." As scrag watches, the pictograms slide and peel off of the cliff face. The blood colored stuff rolls down into a tube shape, tightening into a thin wormlike one, and wriggles away into the shadows.[/sblock]
The concentrated hellfire from Jakobee sizzles the beetle guts, but there is no apparent cause for the overkill. No other sounds can be heard when Jakobee's blasts subside but for the dripping of water. Shifting his feet, Tuk is reminded of the slipperiness off the cavern floor again when he almost loses his footing. Rosalia's arrows look recoverable except the ones that Jakobee blasted. The rest still have goo clinging to them. Thrindar feels Toby nestle deeper into the backpack, a thing he has come to associate with the feline's discomfort.
