Deal, how much knowledge is needed?

Dig: Builder Purgatory.
Mephistopheles: "Within the bowels of these elements,
Where we are tortured and remain forever.
Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscribed
In one self place, for where we are is hell,
And where hell is must we ever be.
And, to conclude, when all the world dissolves,
And every creature shall be purified,
All places shall be hell that is not heaven.
And yet I'd still rather stay here
Than be a builder in Piecewise's Dig."
― Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus, paraphrased

Did the rope come down with me? Observe the lights while trying to protect myself from them. Keep them from getting too close.
Bargthor-47
The rope remained firmly anchored back with the bore. Of all the knots you failed to tie, that was not one of them.
The slowly descending lights are actually spheres now that they've gotten a bit closer and you can see them. It's hard to judge their size from this distance with no point of reference, but they seem to be at least 15 or 20 feet in diameter. You back up a bit and they don't change directions, they simply continue to descend.
Yes, expending two mind per point of body regained is exactly what I expected. How much knowledge does the technique require, and how much knowledge did Sifeebt get from his fight with Nameless and Vokun? For reference, Vokun got 30 knowledge, despite losing.
Also, I editted Sifeebt's split between body and mind to be 19/81 rather than 20/80. I'm assuming this is okay unless told otherwise.

Damn it man, I could be building a terminator right now and instead I'm stuck with a bunch of blind men….Alright, we'll do it by feel then.
Begin to make our way down the stream, Sticking to the left and trying to get to the left passage. If we end up seeing any engine heart shaped figures pick him up.
Is there an exterior light on the crawler? If there is one, turn it on. If I don't know, look for one a button that might turn one on.
Do we have a way to communicate with the bore, like a radio or hardwire?

Rede squints at the control panel. [Control 0] He has no damn idea what anything does. So he makes his best guess and presses one of the bottons on the console. The crawler leans hard to the right and Tony slaps his hand away from the controls.
"The hell are you doing man? Sit down."
"Does this thing have lights?"
"Maybe, hold on." [81/90]
Tony looks over the controls for a moment before pressing a button and flooding the area in front of the crawler with light. The light reveals the riverbed and a fair distance in front of the crawler.
"Does it have a radio too?"
"Yeah, gonna be short range underground though."
"OUT OF WATER" The zombie man shouts, walking up behind Tony.
"Yeah yeah, fire bad. Whatever."
Tony drives the crawler down the left passage, with the flow of the water. After a few minutes of clanking along the floodlights reveal a sudden drop; the edge of a water fall. And beyond it, just barely visible below the rapidly rushing surface of the river, a massive open area filled with shimmering greenblue lights.
