So is everyone going to halt the hostilities?

I'm pinned by a lioness that is good at grapplin' so I don't have much of a say.

I've got a 70% chance of hopping across that pit with one bound, though I don't know how effective that will be considering everyone else is still tied up. What are you guys planning to do?

I'm still waiting to know if I can raise a skeleton to catch me. That would be my favourite game story ever if it happened.

Right, right...let me just make a list:

Taotie: Thinking about jumping

Karlus: Fighting

Kamoses: Fell (still falling)

Velasco: Jumped

Neb: Talking

So we just need Isandro and Taotie to make up their minds.

Right, so we just need Taotie to decide whether he's jumping or not.

It's a lot less humiliating when you fail with your friends.

I'm just amazed that none of you bothered to look into the pit before you jumped.

It seemed like a death or death situation, so I chose to jump

What's the plan.

I can attempt to jump back up there, perhaps throw a guard into the pit for the skeletons to maul.

The plan so far is that I'm going to try to raise a Large(?) skeleton, which can climb out of the pit and tear Katsetshut and his guards a new one.

Just waiting on Neb's reaction before we proceed, to be honest. Hey Neb, you're being stripped by a couple of degenerate Stygians and ogled by a Khitan!

Sorry for the delay. I recently spent some time in the hospital. Keeping up shouldn't be a problem going forward.

So we've failed the Ibis mission, but then the Ibis priest is the kind of guy who gives ironic rewards like "your weight in goooold!"

Katsetshuset & his monster girls could've killed us but chose not to, so perhaps they're not so bad but... what's our next lead?

Riding around in a giant skeleton is pretty cool though, maybe Kamoses can install a chair in the rib cage.

So Taotie and Neb are up top, Kamoses and Karlus are on their way, and Isandro is down below on lookout - what's Velasco up to?

rejected line for Kamoses: "Oh, really? We had lessons at the temple on prolonged shouting with authority. I'll make you some tea when we rest, should help your throat."
