Kind of hard to fight against something without knowing what it is.
>>155160
Is a good a plan as any I can come up with right now. Although I would advise using the knife instead of the wooden stake.

Oh and if you're feeling any pain from your fall, then that's what the painkillers were for. It's not like they will allow you to walk on a broken leg or something, but it will help against lesser but still painful injuries.

'A-alright.'
Kylie continues to sneak until she is in range, but before she can attack the monster lurches its head forward towards Kylie.
"Ah!" Kylie lets out a yell as she thrusts her cane forward.
The monster gnashes it teeth and begins to move its body to the side but is unable to move its head away from the cane.
'It's pulling the cane! It's pulling the cane!'

>>155181
From the looks of it it's some kind of sluglike thing. It probably doesn't have very good vision, but it's also unlikely to have any immediate weak spots... Hey try pouring salt on it. Then we can see just how much like a slug it is.

>>155181

Kylie positions the cane so that it is against her hips and she rummages inside her pockets for salt.

Kylie pulls out both the pepper and the salt and throws them at the monster.

You know I think these demons might be personifications of Sloth. Atleast if we run into more slow things that barely seem interested in you. What Stigma said about being free to take as much time as you wanted is probably true, but you still might want to get through this quickly, the place might have some motivation and energy drawing effect.

Kylie jams her cane in the mouth of the worm, and while walking forward, pushes with all her might to make the head lift up. Then with careful maneuvering, she get close enough to the body.

Surprisingly enough, Kylie doesn't scream out loud, but only thinks it when the worm begins to shake a like a madman with seizures. Of course, pain would do that to anything.

Kylie takes the wooden stake in her left hand and raises it towards the monster. With her right hand, she swings her cane at the head of the monster.

As if to payback the monster, Kylie starts to pull and twist the knife in various directions, causing profuse amounts of blood to spill out, as if a she had hit a major artery. The monster does the same to Kylie, however, because of the lack of blood to its head, it can only thrash a fraction of the power it once had.

The... worm thing from before is catching up. Your arm may be in fairly bad condition, but start running forward before... damnit, we didn't bring bandages! How they hell could we forget bandages.

Whatever. Wrench your arm out of it's mouth, hold it against your body to reduce the bleeding, and run.

>>172226
Yeah those are some good suggestions. Once you're away from the worm, tear off your sleeves for makeshift bandages and tourniquets. That wounds is going to need a wide pressure bandage.

Cut your sleeve off, tie it around the wound. Take some painkillers, continue heading forwards.

that is ether blood-loss or some kind of poison that makes you sleepy. but yes, wrap up the wound somehow and while you can rest you cannot sleep so take some pain killers.

>>172402
Make sure the bandage has a high pressure on it. It can be a bit hard to fix by yourself, but you can use the wooden cross to help you with it.

Then I would suggest that you swallow some painkillers and keep going.

>>172402

Bind your wound. Use your entire shirt if you don't feel confident that you can cut the sleeve off without injuring yourself. Right now stopping the bleeding is the most import thing. Apply pressure to the wound once you have it bandaged.

Take your painkillers and drink as much water as you dare. You've lost a lot of blood, and you'll need the fluids.

Oh and after you bandage it, get your arm above your head. I wish we still had the salt, your electrolytes are going to be messed up from the blood loss.

Kylie turns her head to the side and uses her fingers to lift some cloth off her shoulder. She then bites the cloth, and begins to rummage around her pocket for the knife.
"Mn," Kylie grunts softly as she clamps down on the cloth as hard she can as she begins to cut, using the knife in a sawing motion. The cloth slips out of her mouth a few times, but nothing dangerous happens because she is cutting away from her neck. Kylie continues this until she has a sizable hole. Then she begins to pull the cloth away using pure strength, probably because cutting at different angles could be dangerous. Surprisingly, the sleeve comes off nice and straight.

It shouldn't be cold and wet from blood.
Your blood is as warm as you...
And there hasn't been any water leaks or anything

It's really cold. Cold enough for blood to turn cold that fast. Even then, doesn't explain why it hasn't hardened via platlets

Or that there's some sort of dampness rising from underneath

I'm suggesting that the test may be over and they dumped you somewhere inconvenient. However, let us continue to assume that is not the case.

The machinery is staying in one place, it seems. The shuffling is likely a monster. That is the noise you need to avoid.

'I better move faster then.'
Kylie quickens her pace and continues her walk, sticking close to the circular wall.
'Hm, I should have found an exit by now.'
The shuffling noise is now too close for comfort.

If you can get a lock on the shuffling, then knock the source towards the grinding.

Kylie turns around and swings her cane toward the shuffling, but her cane hits nothing but air. The shuffling stops and a soft hissing sound comes out.
"Khaa!"
A slight splash of air hits Kylie's leg before two sharp fangs dig deep inside it.
"Urk!" Kylie grunts as the fangs let go and the monster begins to shuffle away.

Kylie stumbles down on her knees.
'My leg feel weak.'
Kylie grits her teeth and makes a soft moan.
'It hurts. A lot.'

Ah dammit, it's some kind of... short fanged venomous thing. I'd say snake but they don't make any noise. Probably something more similar to a large lizard, but with fangs.

Well, first aid for a snake bite is to keep the wound below the heart and avoid doing anything that would increase the heart rate. So calm down and stay upright. Don't bother trying to suck out the venom; it spreads so rapidly that trying that accomplishes nothing. Don't tie off the wound either, that causes more harm than good.

Just keep going. Can you please give us a little more detailed information about these sounds? I don't have anything to work with here.

[Oh nice, you're chewing us out in the image names. Well excuse me if I can't figure out what's going on just using text descriptions of audio clues. The blind girl should be able to at least give us an idea of what direction everything's coming from. Then we would have SOMETHING to go on, instead of 'hey there's a noise that could be anything. And another noise.']

[Note: Alright I'll try to put more directions in, and think of the image names as another voice.]
Kylie stands up, propping herself up with the cane. Her breathing seems to have sped up a little, but nothing too noticeable. The sound of grinding metal continues in front of Kylie, while the shuffling sound to her right seems to have disappeared. Kylie leans back on the circular wall behind her.

Wave your cane about violently in front of you. Maybe you'll hit something. I can't think of much else to do in this situation. Blindness sucks.

>>180778
Lets not go down the route of random violence again, last time that didn't end well.

How about you continue to make you way forward instead. You need to get to the finish line Kylie, and it won't happen by lying on the floor.

Kylie gets off the wall and begins to wave her cane randomly toward the noise that is in front of her, but because of her weak leg, she loses her balance and begins to stumble toward the sound of grinding metal.
'Not good!'
Kylie finally trips and falls toward the sound.
