Eat the fish. Yum. If the bait ball is still pressing against the tunnel, I'll heat it up from the inside. That should encourage the fish to swim further away from it. Unless they want to become fried fish.
You should do some basic research on bait ball behavior, I think. ah well. You set fire to the inside of the tunnel. (3) now the tunnel is burning. The bait ball does ease back a bit, but it quickly reforms a bit further down. (2) and dents are starting to show in the walls down there. The window you were looking out before is showing hairline cracks.
Stab the sword into the top of the tube torwards the bait ball then quickly back away
(1) you stab the sword at the tube as hard as you can. The sword bounces back, smacking the hilt into your face. You topple over and begin to slide off,nearly losing your grip on your sword and on the tube. Which do you wish to hang onto (tube or sword)?
Check again, both using the device and the Omega Brand and compare the results with the first time and second I tried using them to confirm that both are correct when trying to determinate the location of the objective and my allies.
[auto-succeed] You have chosen well. Clearly, going up the tunnel would be a long and pointless detour. Now, the Brand and the locator are not exactly GoogleLathal, so you don't get a real good "at the next juncture, turn right. Follow the rust stains three hundred meters and drop down, grappling the pseudogirrafe tightly." or anything like that. But you get a sense that the best route will be into one of the hallways, and along to a high traffic area that leads down. that, or inside the machinery, whee you might find something that moves materials down to the Center. Of course, going to a high traffic area means possibly interacting with NPCs or hostiles. SO be ready to hide or sneak like a proper rogue.
"So, any idea what those are beyond big, ugly, and probably mean?"
Keep my distance from them right now, see if they come towards us or not. If nothing happens and we end up in a standoff, ask them what's behind that door they're guarding. If they begin attacking, use the darkness dagger to sear their eye analogues with ridiculous brightness and try to avoid getting into melee with them.
((Why yes, this was a brilliant idea on everyone's part 
))
"They are clearly guarding something of importance. Through that door is probably a hive of activity, with power flowing into and out of the Heart, fueling the very life of Lathal. Liklely, they will only allow authorized beings through, and will raise an alert should unauthorized beings such as ourselves attempt to pass. Plus, as yo unoted, they are big, ugly, and probably very mean."
The guard things do not communicate, except in that way hostile living guard statues do - by ominously existing and brooding and being all threatening by standing around with mean glowing eyes. You know the type. Just like "Uncle" Xchorbo'Gnathix.
welp, so much for that. Turn around and head back to where I just was and go where the guy apparently not messing with any fish went
You head back to find the hallway on fire alongteh right side, Freddie looking out the bay doors at the fishies, and everyone else gone. Did the hallway
tilt like this, last time you were here?
