Action below.
Sharpe observes Genesis' actions as she carefully closes her magical book.

"What are you doing?" she asks, and then a moment later "Do you have others closer to the source of the disturbance?"
Respond
"Hmm? yes we do. I sent a glove imbued with the source's magic as a scout, returning to its nest. Several of the others followed it. Looks like one got himself injured in the chase. In hindsight, I should have ensured i had a way of tracking the glove before sending it off. I can get us to the advanced party whenever, if you like. Same as the deer headed one just did. Or do you have your own means?"

If Sharpe consents to a ride-along, make sure all the homunculi by the crater have links to someone in the advance party (I have 2 link slots available, and anyone else can link with each other) , then grab Sharpe around the waist and pull Grey's thread.

If she prefers her own travel arrangements, leave her to it and go when she does.

Either way, before we go, take careful note of direction, landmarks, and other reference points to orient myself with on arrival, assuming i can see anything of the like. Also, whe nI arrive, make a quick note of any links back toward the crater so we know which direction to go.

"Thank you all, I think I am well enough to stand, now."

Grey grabs his needle from where he is to speak through it.

"Tess, we seem to be safe for now. Do you think you can catch the glove and bring it forwards to us?"

Grey examines his surroundings for signs of magic using his needle, particularly those vines.

"I'll try but I'm having trouble even keeping track of it. let alone catching the thing, and I'm feeling kinda lonely at the moment."

"We can come up with something else if it's gone, but it'd be good to have. I can try relaying someone over to assist if that'll help."

"No, I'm not in danger at the moment. I'm just isolated. You seem to be in worse shape. Take care of yourself first."

"I'm not liking the look of this place."

"Thank you all, I think I am well enough to stand, now."
"I'm not a doctor but I don't think getting up right now is a good idea, you should at least lay there a few minuets, also have I become the teams doctor because it feels like I have."

Relink my needle with Grey and make sure Elizabeth is close, then wield whatever weapon seems appropriate and be ready in case of attack.

Aaron uses his needle to speak to Hugh.
"How is your traveling going Hugh? A Capture Corps member just showed up and has been discussing the situation with Genesis."
He then seeks to know what direction the Kill Corps is in, and make a large mark toward that direction.

Fort is running at 21 FPS, the ground is having a panic attack in places, and what looks like a conga line of zombified Hungry Heads has formed on (I think) Z-level 32 of the caverns.
I love dwarven status reports.

Ho.  Ho. Ho, there… I am currently with Grey, Debbie, and Elizabeth.  None of us are going anywhere, right now…

((Also, did everyone miss what Hugh said in my previous post?  He was speaking into his needle, but not to anyone specific…))

I’m not quite sure… something feels off… wrong… with this place.  The sun is directly overhead, but it’s dim.  And it’s cold… It feels like we’re being watched by something.  Something… Other…

To Hugh: "That doesn't sound good. I had hoped that whatever this thing is wouldn't know we were coming yet."
And to Sunny: "These needles are amazing multipurpose tools. They can be used as a weapon, or a number of other things. They can be linked to each other, and then their users can talk to each other via their needles. Right now I'm talking to one of the people who went on ahead of us."

Sunny whistles, at least he tries to "Neat, when do I get one?"

"When we get back to our base, I'll show you where you can get one. In the mean time, I'll think about what I could find you for a weapon, in case you need to defend yourself."
