Re: Chapter 15 - 690

Walking, hm... that sounds dangerous. Very dangerous.

And not exactly practical in terms of profit, considering they'd have to leave most of their books behind, unless they could jerry-rig some kind of sledge.

Hurry up, Tuuri! Your crew needs you to save the day!

I keep telling myself that they've got to come out on top in the end, somehow, if only just for the premise of more adventures to happen. It probably wouldn't have to include the tank, and at the moment I'm suspecting that the chapter cover actually heralds the tank's demise, not that of Tuuri any of the crew, but that's... half-baked guesswork, so far. And I'd be sad regardless.

Oh yeah, I'm 100% convinced that everyone is going to come out of this alive, but... hmmm....

If they do leave the tank behind, and do manage to make their rendezvous, I guess they'll have to take a substantial amount of material with them to justify this whole venture. Which leads me to wonder just what exactly the going rate is for salvaged old world books, haaa.

(But what are they going to do about those ghosts... eughhhh)

Or at least... alive again. I'm not ruling out some sort of underworld road trip, just based on aRTD. No guarantee, of course, but... eh. (In that case, if the tank "dies" sometime soon, they could at least have a vehicle down there, heh.)

But there really is no good option now, other than fixing the tank, is there? Even if they seal the tank and come back for the books later, everything else carries a fairly substantial risk of death, dismemberment, ghostification, or some other gruesome fate. I suppose if the ship has a mage on board, Reynir could dreamwalk there and alert them for a rescue mission, but the team would have to hang on that long first (depending on how long "several days" has been since the attack, probably two weeks minimum), and if the fishing is any indication they're running low on provisions already. :/
