I was not aware I had control over which swarm was summoned.
Summoning fireflies it is.
You rolled lucky for "I have an idea!" So you are gonna
try to control the swarm, anyway. ...(1) you summon one tiny, pustulant, sickly green maggot. (pustulant: an agent which induces formation of pustules. I did not know this, though it seems obvious)
On the bright side, A Start Sprite arrives. "Greetings From Aylia, fellow teammates! I have been sent to guide you to her. Tell me, can you fly?"
Arrow lever - sidestep downhill to level the cart out. Then look around in case i have to leave the area, i want a route and alternate picked out. wait for my sprite to return.
Almost forgot about the sprite. You scrape the bottom of the cart as you shift sideways, but eventually you get it more or less level on a 45 degree slope. You remember a flatter area behind you and turn to look that way - the terrain there looks passable. Best alternate looks like it is descending into the structure, but maybe comes out to the surface again a short way along. Two other routes look more rough, and are going toward unknown parts.
You should know, this place is pretty big, so walking from where they are will take the other teammates days to get to you, at least. probably something like ten days for Cho and Ebony, and twice that for Dar and Noir. I'm not sure how obvious this was. I think I hinted at the scale of the place a few times.
Dar's just gonna keep talking to Noir, begging her to wake up and heal herself.
Dar is such a kind, sympathetic soul. Are you feeling well? ((this too, is a good-natured dig
))
Well, Ebony too tired to cast and solo exploration is likely suicidal given her condition, so I guess just some more waiting around.
you should probably be eating to regain your strength.
Dar's just gonna keep talking to Noir, begging her to wake up and heal herself.
Noir stares at dar meekly and gives a pained sound gently they breath and try to focus their energy their mind.
FOCUS! FOCUS! if I am able to heal thineself with my holy magic do so.
You come awake. Head pounding, aching and hurting. You recognize Dar. You call for your healing magic but it does not come.
