In a flash of inspiration, you grab your Ventrilobox from around your neck.
You point it at the glass bubbles. Speaking quickly, you announce that the beast has swallowed a magnificent fish, and there will be grave consequences if said magnificent fish is not released!

CRITICAL SUCCESS!
You don't have time to say any more before you're washed too far down the monster's throat to see out.
You've got to avoid falling into the belly of the beast. It's dark again, but you're falling downwards, so you know which way to swim to reach the wall of the creature's throat.

Bam! You're wedged safely into the throat. You keep spinning your drill, advancing through the slippery flesh about you.
Your drill stops catching as you hit a pocket within the monster's flesh. Wiggling your tail, you squeeze through into the hole and find yourself in a cramped tunnel extending in two directions (slighty down to the right, and slightly up to the left). It's so narrow that you doubt you'd be able to turn around once you entered the passage. You hear a squelching, sucking noise from the left.
Noises in the dark, Space Fish! Which way?StatsYou're a fish. I still don't have a stat system. Looks like we'll be sticking with skills!
