<<Use stack magyx to organize your inventory.>>
<<Pilfer the jaw, use it as a macabre trophy/mask.>>
<<defile the corpse more>>

<<Examine coffin from which it came.>>



Let's see what's in here...

<<...>>



Oh gods... it's a SUPER-HAPPY-FUN-MYSTERY POTION.

---

<<Super Happilly store whatever whats inside it just in case of a boss battle.>>

Yep

<<Potion: Glimmer onminously.>>
<<Aiden: Set potion in inventory. Forget quickly until optimal time.>>
Optimalness

<<Daren: Check Inv.>>



Uh oh, Daren's BURDEN seems to be running a bit low on IU's.

<<Aiden: Check Inv.>>



Looks like Aiden still has plenty of room.

<<give potion to Aiden and progress further from the way you came>>

<<Give potion to Aiden.>>



Aiden stashes the potion.

<<Progress further from the way you came.>>



You two retrace your steps.

You proceed down to the center of the stairwell. Now's the time to decide, keep going
for stealth, or take advantage of whatever forward momentum you can get and charge?

---

<<why not both try to see if you can get stealth kills and if you can't keep going anyway>>

<<Both>>



But the Element of Surprise attack bonus is lost if they're on the lookout.
And without someone able to work HOSTILITY CONTROL, you won't be
getting back that bonus any time soon if they already know you're
here. Time to decide your course of action.

<<Adventurers: Stealth. The fae have proven tricky. Who knows what else is up their sleeves. We must be cautious to avoid being taken by surprise.>>
Haste makes waste

<<eh screw it charge in>>

<<Use ninjutsu to combine swiftness with stealth.>>
<<Fail case your both not ninjas, fall down the stairs>>
<<A ninja somewhere: Facepalm at this tomfoolery.>>

<<Daren: Charge In: Bull Rush>>



Daren charges in and uses Bull Rush on the first foe he will encounter.

<<...>>



The first available foe and target of the Bull Rush is a Fallowmin.

<<...>>



Damn, it seems the Fallowmin has used the nearby Docarra as a MEATSHIELD, thus
forcing it to absorb the oncoming attack.

using Daren's charge as a distraction to sneak in.

---

<<Adventurers: Continue.>>
.............good plan.

<<What the hell is a fallowmin?>>
Seriously?

<<What the hell is a fallowmin?>>

You'd love to, but this sonuva bitch is able to just keep phasing through your blows if he can
predict them.

Normally id be in favor of taking it alive and questioning it, but it can shift through objects. Way to fucking dangerous. Wipe it out.

You wait a moment to make sure it's really unconscious.

<<COUP DE GRACE!>>



You bludgeon the ghastly Faerie to death with joyful abandon.
