Plot Synopsis

The lichen is no more
“Why are you ejecting things from bricks?”
We rest
Leon has weird dreams
He is in the ethereal plane
Black mass around him
Flashes of teeth moving by
Black mass partially subsumes him
Leon wakes up first
Sleeping bag feels heavier and weirdly warm
It is made of flesh with my same skin tone
It has a heartbeat
Doesn’t seem to be moving otherwise
My jewelry has de-aged back to how it was before
Revolver has also de-aged and fully loaded
His lungs are clear
The pressure is back and very intense from the ethereal plane
Inara wakes up
Jaw in pain (burning)
Also in fleshbag
Clench teeth and lower jaw falls off
Looks frostbitten, like it froze off
Skin feels electric
She screams (but in entish)
Null wakes up next
Flesh and Fur around Null’s fire blanket
Does onivero with Inara
Inara’s skin tries to absorb Null when she touches it
Looks at Inara’s jaw: Frostbitten and off, seems to be trying to absorb the floor
Sets floor on fire, it begins to char
Null’s blood is faintly red-green (lichen color)
Raye wakes up
She is too tall to fit in sleeping bag
She is struggling to breathe and starving
She has webbed limbs and gills
She rips out of the sleeping bag and blood starts pouring out of it
Onto Raye, who can breathe it
It is Raye’s blood
Maris
Also in a pale fleshy sleeping bag
Seems otherwise normal
Annabelle
The flesh around Annabelle is amorphous, she goes through it
Annabelle absorbs it and becomes taller and wider

Leon goes ethereal, it feels similar to before
There is a mass around me
The pressure lightens, I can move through it
The mass is warm goop
The mass is harder to move through towards the top of the mountain

We all go look for the base staff
Most everyone is there and alive
Kushtau is missing
Null dropped an encyclopedia on her fleshbag and it started bleeding

Magic items in fleshbags
Make Raye a jar of blood and head to the radio tower
Now it is somehow even colder
We thug it out up partway up the tower
We enter a valley
The pressure increases on Leon
Cold is bad
Leon’s soul sight is back on ish
We arrive at the radio tower
Longer footprints in the snow
Footprints kinda look like Kushtau’s
We go into the radio tower
The footprints lead to what looks like a back room
Sent out a distress call
Bunch of papers scattered about, climate research and the like
Found a bunch of adamantite
Illegal mining operation


Leon goes Ethereal again
He feels a will overpowering his own but brushes it off
We go back to base
Leon heals, creating black lines that look kinda like frostbite
We go to the sensor area to look for Kushtau
We see something that looks kind of like Kushtau, but with really long legs and arms messing with the sensor
Kushtau is the shapeshifter
“I am actually very interested in climate research”

Hell of a lot of exposition from Kushtau
Thing in bay is officially the mitsuthing hemowhatsit
