Escape On Thera

>Fitan: Open green lunch box.




You try to open the box but alas, it's locked. And you're starting to get famished in here too. Your stomach protests at the unfairness of it all.



>Fitan: Stick one of the blue things in the conduit.

The crystal is spent, but you know a quick and dirty hack to wring out a last bit of energy out of it. You just need to break off a piece and...







There, it works! It seems like you've gotten a Basic Water Crystal which for now can either be used to:

These things don't have much of a charge left in them though, so you're gonna have to use them sparingly.



> If you push the goop-O-tron closer to the wall you should have enough reach to splice the wires back together.

The cylinder looks like it's made of solid stone, but you find out it swivels around like the prayer mills back home. It still takes lot of effort to push it, but eventually you manage to nudge it enough to connect the wires.



>That cylinder is trying to pick a fight with you. Don't take none of its guff, squire.
Tube --> Open!
>It's probably a new friend!
>Or, you know, reveal something small, and yappy.

The cylinder starts to hum and whirr, as long rusted mechanisms slowly churn with life.

You feel the cool surface of the Conduit grazing your hand and you feel ready for anything. It is as much a tool for war as it is for crafting -- and countless drills by your father have made sure that you've become a fine hand with one.





You're suddenly face-to-face with a jittery, loud, and very angry monster that's about your size. It thrashes about using its jaws to widen the opening.

Whatever that thing is, it's definitely not a friend at all!
