That's... actually a very good idea. Do it.

Facepunch sounds like a great plan. Let's do that.

Come on! Come on!
THINK!
Okay... if the air is going OUT, then it must be escaping to somewhere with no water!
Yes!
We don't need to PLUG it we need to make it BIGGER.
We can follow the air to freedom!

But that still doesn't help us find the hole...
Hm...

>>51926

Punching things is the best way out of anything. Do it.

If we widen the hole, the air will just escape faster, the water level will shoot up, and we'll drown in an instant.

Brennan makes his peace and prays for a miracle.
The rest of us do the same.

Whoever you are, please, take care of my family.
Tell me wife Alel I love her.
Look after my little girl, Finnie.

We will. Do not worry.
Leave all your earthly problems behind. It is time to rest, child.

You goblins are pretty freaking dumb if you think that's how physics work.

>>51946

>Look after my little girl, Finnie.

>Finnie

>Finnese

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

That's not how liquid physics work, you know. You will suffocate on CO2 before you drown, if the water ever gets there, that is.

Widen the hole and swim through it, whats the worst that could happen. you could DROWN? You're already GOING to drown. HOLD OUT HOPE YOU...GOBLINS

>If we widen the hole, the air will just escape faster, the water level will shoot up, and we'll drown in an instant.
But... but...
;_;

>Finnie
...We will. We'll look after her. I promise.

Damnit, don't just stand there! Who cares if you're about to die! That's no reason to give up! Thats all the more reason to fight ever harder! Take that pick and swing it! What's the worst that can happen? You've only ever truly lost if you give up! FIGHT! Yours is the drill that will pierce the heavens!

Shit yourselves in consternation.

Shit yourselves in consternation.

Shit yourselves in consternation.

Shit yourselves in consternation.

Pray for a swift death

Nine in the mine, trapped down below.

Start fucking like rabbits.

Well now it's a good time to try that gay sex you've been hearing about.

It's not like anyone will care at this point.

Down, down, down in the...

Wait... did the water just go... down?!

YES
LIVE GOD DAMN YOU

There are bubbles coming up from below.
It's clean, fresh air. Forcing down the water level.

Touch penis.

>>51974

Sit there and frown.

>>51979
Hot damn! Is the water level still going down?

>>51979
Quickly pull pants back up. Pretend nothing happened.

>>51979
You might live.

Stay aware! Something else may go wrong!

>>51979
... good!

Investigate their source? Though I guess you can't see underwater.

Well, inform the others.

The water level continues to drop. After another two hours, the chamber is clear enough to breathe comfortably and stand. The water is shallow.

>dat hand


Also, escape?

>>51987
So are the passages traversable now?

>>51987
Brilliant!
Wonderful!
Beautiful!
Now...
We're getting you out.

Assess surroundings.
Exits? Holes? Things?

>>51987

Have an orgy in celebration of good fortune

Brennan is the one to notice a rope in the corner of the chamber, where the water is deepest. Where it connects to the main tunnel.
There's some kind of floater on the end. Really catches the eye.

I wonder who could've sent it.
Maybe I should follow it?

>>51996
DO EET.

>>51996
Ohhhh! A rescue crew!
Yes! Follow it!

We all go together or not at all. Linked together, we grab to the rope and give a tug, and it pulls us upwards, through the blackness.
The water is cold and dark around us, a torrent flowing around us with all the rush of a storm.

I don't know how far it is to the surface. My lungs burn. The rope continues to pull, drawing my weak bones with it.

>>52003
KEEP ON HOLDING

YOU'LL MAKE IT

THINK OF YOUR FAMILY

LIVE FOR THEM

>>52003
:D
Hold on tight!
As tight as the tightest tight that ever tighted a tight!

I don't know quite what happens next
But suddenly, it's over
The sun is so bright it's blinding
A man stands over me
A man sent by god to save us
He says his name is Malto

>>52008

You're safe now. Everyone is safe.

My friends and I are all rescued. The man who led the operation was the Baron Malto. We thanked him with our deepest sincerity and he told us to return to our families, which we were all too happy to do.

Our ordeal is behind us.

I return to my wife and daughter. Little Finnie is crying. She thought she would never see me again.
I thought the same.

To remember the day the kindness of strangers reunited us as a family, I tie a small band around little Finnie's ear.

Our savior asked nothing in return. He was content to see us alive and well.
Someday I hope my family can return the favor Baron Malto has so graciously and selflessly bestowed upon us.

If there's any justice in this world, the Maltos will live long and well.

LONG LIVE MALTO

MEIOU

So yeah let's not rule out raping our minions. You never know what situation may come up.

Oh my god <3

Goblin Miners? Perhaps we could take advantage of this...

We do need to expand upon our base of operations, and we might very well figure a way to rake in some income.

Perhaps it's time to visit our friend, the collector. We need to make a powerful ally.
