You walk over and grab Telwis and rub your nose between his ears affectionately.

He doesn't appear to like being picked up one bit and tells you to put him down, he's expecting company. It sounds like someone is walking towards the door, someone big!

Get the door without putting telwis down.

>>158445
Put him down and hide somewhere intill we can see the visitor

>>158448
This.

Ask Telwis who's coming. Does he know anything about the five keys?

Telwis seems confused by your mention of keys. He says that of course he knows who is coming, he invited him. Apparently this person is a real stand-up guy.

>>158463
Well, then go get the door.

While still holding Telwis.

Oh shit, son.

Flails Breaker stuffs your face with loads and loads of cream. Sometimes he's a little sloppy and gets it over your face too, but you don't care.

For a while there is nothing. You seem to slip off into sleep, a wonderful rest after your tiring journey. But then, a bright light appears, and there is a sharp pain in your chest.

You wake up a little more and are greeted by a not too friendly face lunging quickly towards yours.

Punch it in the nose to assert dominance, then ride it like a mechanical bull.

The snake-like creature bites your hand securely and begins to pull backward with slowly increasing force.

Punch it with your other hand!

And kick it as well.

Other hand.

Lots of eyes.

Poke its eyes.

Allow it to pull you out of the tank. Remove your mask.

That's not nice. Apply swordfingers to eyes.

You start to let it drag you out of the tub but find your stomach getting cut on the glass, instead using your free hand to try to dig into the creature's eyes.

The creature shrieks in pain, but it doesn't let go, shaking it's head from side to side to try to get your hand out of it's eyes.

A blast of light comes from your right.

You are blinded for a moment as the beast shrieks and dissipates.

"002 Deceased".

You carefully climb out of the tank and walk over to the side of the room.

Telmes is here. She appears to be injured. The ground tremors once more.

She pants as she holds a clear, see-through gear towards your tube. She doesn't appear to see you. The gear she holds has a sort of prismatic effect to it, when the light hits it the shine appears as a spectrum.

>>164824
Take the gear?

You try to take the gear from Telmes.

"No!" she cries, "S-Stay away from me! Please!"

She holds onto the gear tightly but even with both her hands on it it doesn't feel like it would be too hard to just pick her up like Telwis. She looks at you like you're a monster.

The gear shines dimly and then fades. She looks at it and then you, whimpering "Savior... H-Help me..."

"What's going on?"

"V-Ven..?" she says, "Is... Is that really you? You're not... like the others?"

>>164863
"I don't know what you mean, but probably! Now, where's the altar?"

>>164863
"Yes, it's really me. I don't know what happened to the others, though, so I can't say."

You tell her that you don't know what she means, but probably not. You assure her that it's really you.

Telmes says that the others are all either dead or taken over by the shadow beasts.

She hugs you tightly.

You ask her where that altar is. She says it's at the end of the hall, but more of those beasts are inside. If you and she can make it to the altar you should be safe, the area will be protected from the shadow beasts for a little longer.

Should you look around for equipment and quickly prepare or make a straight run for the altar? Time is likely of the essence.

The ground tremors once more, this time worse than before.

Not heavily wounded, and fingers are weapons enough. Gotta go fast, super fast.

>>164878
Suddenly realize that you are naked.

Take her with you. She has information that you might need, and if the altar is safe then she would be better off there.

>>164878
Make a straight run, I guess. If time is of the essence, and all.

Run, bitch!

>>164878
Get equipment!

You grab Telmes and run. She limps a bit but mostly manages to keep up.

She clutches that gear for dear life as you pull her along.

There is a door on the right, and vents along the walls. Large crates block some of your vision.

As you pass some of the crates there's another doorway on the left. Light glints off something blade-like in the doorway.

>>164948
Take a breather behind the crate and wait for the Dark Thing to go away.

Set her down behind the crate and wait a bit, possible fighting time.

You wait by the crate and pause to get a breather.

Telmes doesn't sound so good but manages to stand still and almost quietly as she catches her breath.

The hissing of the shadow beast starts to fade.

Slowly--wait is Telmes okay?

Telmes says that you might be able to go faster if you leave her behind.

She says every second we waste, more of those monsters will be around.

Tell her we're not leaving her here to die. Mok carrying time!

pick her up and run with her like she's a football.

Last I saw the shadow creature was moving across the corridor. Peek around the crate before you get moving again.

You pick up Telmes. She winces at first but doesn't seem to complain. The monster seems to be heading into another doorway.

The end of the hallway is in sight...

Let it move. If it notices, take initiative and dive at it, with pointy fingers grappling at close range should be very effective.

You run for it!

Telmes shouts for you to put her down and that she can stop it, but the altar room is only a half a minute further.

What do you do?

>>165047
Okay, duck around a crate and set Telmes down while you attempt to distract the Shadow Creature.

(I think she's gonna stop it with the gear)

Just keep moving! Thirty more seconds!

Keep running, push her higher on your shoulder so she can aim at the thing.

You prop Telmes over your shoulder and a bright beam fires from the gear once again, striking it's arm just as it's about to strike.

There's only a few feet left! The beast is now missing it's arm, but that seems to have just made it angry!

Just keep running, duck down low so it has less to try and hit!

You reach the altar room.

The creeper is stopped by some invisible wall that let you and Telmes pass through.

Telmes says that the five keys represent each of the five teeth of the prism gear.

Infinity.
Companionship.
Imagination.
Peace.
Heart.

Telmes says that neither her nor the other scholars knew the hymn. "Search inside yourself, Ven." she says. "Some part of you, some part of you that was once Nev, might remember it. You... You know this song, Ven. I know you know it. It burns within you. Just let it out, Ven... Please..."

[the only sing i can think of that may fit the mood of this place is: you scream, i scream, we all scream for ice cream.
which would probably summon flails breaker what do you other guys think]
