[ WASP STAB TO THE SIDE. Hey remember that fun thing we gave you earlier. That whole "all injuries are 10 times as painful".
So Uruha has just been mildly impaled through the soft spot on his side and through his back, which probably feels pretty bad. It did manage to skip out on his organs and bones, though, despite what a doctor might tell you is possible. So that's the first problem. Do you know what stingers have? Normally, he wouldn't be feeling it so quickly, but he's just so sensitive these days. There's a mild paralytic poison running through his veins impeding his movements now.
Wooooooooooooopsiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie
good news is the kick lucas gives totally lands! they've got the exit clear!! bad news is
:( he's out of hands? uruha will simply have to power through. alas. ]
[uruha's general tolerance is pretty good but OW FUCK OW HISSING (AND SWEARING) IN PAIN well this is all pretty bad. still, he will grit his teeth and bear with it.]
Let's go—for real, this time!
[he will do his best to power through the poison and run towards the exit assuming lucas is also doing so this time...]
[YEAH HE'S DEFINITELY RUNNING TOWARD THE EXIT at least they're not being chased by anything right now so presumably Uruha's mild state of paralysis won't come back and destroy them just yet.
DOES THE EXIT LEAD OUT OF THE CAVES AND TOWARD THE MOUNTAIN OR DO THEY HAVE TO GO BACK THE WAY THEY CAME. Imagine they just have to go face new horrors in a different path now. Regardless, he'll be doing his best to 1) keep an eye peeled for further danger, 2) make sure he runs smoothly so he doesn't jostle his DYING DOG FRIEND or his child, and 3) watch for Uruha to make sure he's doing okay despite his injuries.]
[ haha yeah funny joke. the yellow path was a dead end with wasps yeah you're going back the way you came. the GOOD NEWS is that the wasps probably do not fit into the passage when it gets super tight and they had to squeeze in. their asses... are too big......
the bad news is that all of uruha's movements will now be stiff and like he's fighting his own body. rolling with disadvantage. the other bad news is honestly trying to walk while carrying someone else isn't like super possible in that passage but lucas somehow manages. i guess.
yves is not responsive currently. neither is the pair of legs uruha has to simply watch lucas carry. but the bunny is doing just one very long fearful squeak the entire time they are trying to make their way back. they can both hear that one. this is just an upset bunny noise.
the GREAT news is that now you only have three paths to check out. and also that one of these paths (the red) now has a cool little minecart available on the tracks. Huh. Neat.
there's dripping water in the blue and moss in the green so you don't have to go all the way back ]
[great. he sure is feeling increasingly useless like this, because if he can't fight then what is he even good for... not to mention that the yellow path was his suggestion so wow he has terrible judgment too!! ALL AROUND WORTHLESS. it's fine.
he just kind of stares at the remaining three paths once they're back but you know what. even though he doesn't trust lucas's judgment either, going with uruha's idea was evidently bad so he'll let lucas pick. also because lucas is the one carrying a million things right now.]
[URUHA IS JUST DYING OUT HERE HELP!!!! thinking about that time sakyou kept getting his ass stuck when trying to go through passages even though people way bigger than him got through just fine.
Anyway Lucas is going to head toward the red path because there's a cool little minecart on the tracks and he would rather have a place to lay Yves down so he can have at least one arm free. He will not put the bunny in the cart though since Yves is still in a really rough state and he doesn't want to traumatize this poor child any further. Also he will rip off some of the fabric of the outer layer of his dress so he can wrap Yves' insanely bleeding injuries up as best as he's able WHICH IS THE BEST HE CAN DO WHEN THEY TOOK NO SUPPLIES.]
Let's try this way - it has tracks that we can follow back if we need to, too.
[If they hit aNOTHER DEAD END. HE'S STILL SO DESPERATE TO FIND NADIA BUT HE'S GROWING A COLLECTION OF WATER BOTTLES.]
[ lucas looks like he is doing that to koharu's lower half (minus one leg) for uruha. anyway
so long as he is also touching the minecart (to lean over and banadage yves and undress himself), things go seemingly smoothly. unfortunately, rolling a 2 here means that once lucas stands up, the minecart
[THIS HAPPENS AND HE JUST FUCKING SCREAMS. Like just a short little scream of disbelief. YVES IS ALWAYS CAUSING HIM PROBLEMS. Or Koharu's legs. THANK GOD HE DIDN'T PUT HIS CHILD IN THERE BUT HIS FUCKING STUDENT!!
Anyway he turns toward Uruha who is not doing much better, torn between his desire to sprint after this yakety sax cart and not wanting to leave Uruha here alone when he's been STABBED. He spends so much of his time being indecisive in life or death situations, damn.]
Will you be alright if I go stop that cart?!
[How far gone is it anyway i truly am just picturing it zipping out of sight so quickly true cartoon style.]
[ baby bunny says as it watches that way quietly. you are absolutely right that it zipped out of sight cartoon style. i was expecting you all to be in it when i did this but this is funnier.
uruha attempts to heal and ignores that lucas is willing to ditch him for legs ]
[FUCKING HELP this is fine. IT'S FINE. Yves is already zipped out of sight cartoon style and Lucas is not keen on losing Uruha, so he'll just bank on the fact that the tracks will have to end sooner or later.]
—We'll catch up to him. Do you need help?
[SWEET PARTIALLY PARALYZED URUHA. He'll help a lad with any bandaging he might need help with and also help support him while walking if it looks like he needs support, assuming they will be trekking along the cart tracks themselves. Maybe he should carry Uruha too.]
[ for the record if he ever asked the bunny can walk by itself. i assume it's a no because he doesn't trust the baby to not die. but it can. especially because uruha is not doing great.
if they go to the red path, they can absolutely follow the mine cart tracks. i will say that unfortunately at one point those tracks do split, but luckily now you are following the mine cart, so. you can tell from how the lever was pulled that the cart with yves' (body) went to the left. ]
[He does not trust the baby to not die or flee at the worst possible moment, he knows this baby can WALK BECAUSE THE LAST TIME HE LET IT HAPPEN IT ALMOST GOT SPEARED BY A LION.]
...Please let me know if you do need help.
[SIR. Lucas will insist if it looks like he's seriously struggling, at least to offer a shoulder for Uruha to use as support. BUT AWAY THEY GO. He will start going to the left because he's following that damn mine cart unless Uruha for some reason is taken by the spirit and runs right.]
[ if uruha wishes to go right he truly can. if he like. can manage to walk that far. remember when you guys refused any supplies from villagers AND possibly cannibalistic lions? bet you regret that now that everyone you meet is bleeding out.
i'm going to assume uruha does not get a sudden urge to escape. the good news is that there is Currently no evil around the minecart tracks, and following them on the left eventually leads them to what looks like the cave exit straight ahead. at least, they feel the breeze coming from somewhere that way, as well as hear some crickets and owls in the distance. nature sounds. whatever exists on a mountain at night.
the bad news is, the tracks turn and continue to the right deeper into the caves and there is no sign of their wayward minecart towards the exit. ]
[NO............ FUCKING YVES. Well. He just sighs.]
...I need to go find him. [The pair of legs WAIT JUST ONE LEG that he keeps referring to as Yves that Uruha is just letting him believe is Yves (or maybe it really is Yves who knows). He glances toward the exit and then Uruha. The urge to find Nadia is still pushing him forward, but he truly cannot bring himself to leave Yves in the caves when he still seems to be clinging to life.]
Those two might have made it out of here, though.
[the idea of them being in this cart and just whipping past the exit is hilarious actually. ANYWAY can he see anything by peering down the direction the tracks go in just from where he stands here with Uruha?]
[DID HIS STUDENT CAREEN TOWARD A FIRE. He's so alarmed.]
—I think that would be best for now. But please take care and yell if you run into anything. Ah-- [He will look down at his little baby, too.] --Would you like to stay with Uruha this time?
[HE KEEPS RUNNING INTO DANGER HOLDING THIS RABBIT. Surely Uruha will be able to take care of his child if they no longer wish to go cavorting into danger.]
[uruha cannot hear this response and therefore cannot feel indignant that this rabbit possibly named after his teacher thinks he needs to be protected,
but since he assumes that means lucas? wants him to take it? he will very stiffly kneel down to try and pick it up. ow shit ow his side. once that is, however awkwardly and painfully, done, he gives lucas a worried glance.]
You, as well - the both of you. Listen to Uruha, dear. Let him watch out for you.
[But he will hand the rabbit over STOP HE'S CARRYING IT SO URUHA DOESN'T HAVE TO BEND OVER take his child... Be safe...
As they move to the exit, Lucas will dart toward the path the tracks disappear down. im just realizing we lost the torch in our insane fervor bee wife battle so he's just going through this in the dark I GUESS.]
[ at this point y'all were carrying so much stuff i forgot about the torch. yeah i guess it's dark now huh. i guess uruha probably stopped carrying that huh.
uruha walks to the exit with the bunny in his arms. he gets the strangest feeling, once he can see the night sky outside, that if he steps out, he won't be able to come back in.
LUCAS GOES ON A QUEST and, first of all, i hope he was walking on the tracks because at some point they are the only thing stopping him from falling into a pit of spikes. if he was not paying attention his foot can slip and he can stab himself in it before going back on his way. i just need you to know there's an unnecessary spike pit here. this would take longer if it wasn't 4am for me. he keeps going, determined to find the end with the mine cart.
good news: he does walk until he finds the mine cart at the very end of things! bad news: it crashed into the wall. the smell of smoke is that for some reason this set off a small fire, for comedy.
better news is that yves is still in the cart. now, is he aware? no. is he probably concussed if he's alive? yeah. can lucas still carry him out of spite? sure.
the best news is that there's a treasure at the end of this cart ride. it's a fucking first aid kit. please heal. ]
