"Hang on, hang on, calm down!" A headcrab flew between TG and Jericho, making an unpleasant screeching noise that punctuated Moira's exasperated words. "Taming sticks are not to be used on other students!! Gosh!"
Fortunately for Shehk and anyone else who got whomped with a stick since the molerat battle, the Taming Solution had been entirely used on the molerats. They were now just ordinary sticks. Faintly glowy, but ordinary.
"Violence is not the answer. Well, it is sometimes! But not right now," she said, firmly. "Go get violent in the gym if you want, got it? Not here!"

That said, Moira turned back to Danny and Edel, her face smoothing back into its usual smile. "Oh, is that all? This is the Amityville springs, spookies! Plenty for all - DID YOU GET THE OTHER ROOMS CLEANED OUT YET?!"
That last was shouted at full volume, focused on the gnomes. The ones who had stopped working to dangle their feet in the pools got up immediately, scurrying out of sight. "Be a pretty terrible school if we didn't have stuff for all the students," Moira said, happily. "Just give them a few minutes."
Indeed, there was a sudden bang-clang-crash! of movement in the background, followed by some gnomish swearing - "NOT IN FRONT OF THE SNOTS!!". After a few minutes, as promised, a few gnomes staggered out of two offshoot tunnels and collapsed.
Apparently this was a good sign, as Moira clapped her hands. "There we are! Amityville Really Really Hot Springs to the left, Amityville Not-Very-Hot-At-All Springs to the right! And I think there's some Amityville Acidic Death Springs in here somewhere, too. If you like that kind of thing."
Quote: Hey hey hey, looks like there's a few offshoot rooms! Really Really Hot Springs: Lava pools and a smoke sauna! Not-Very-Hot-At-All Springs: Ice pools and a pool filled entirely with snow. Acidic Death Springs: What do you think? Each of the extreme springs has a failsafe spell over it to prevent unacclimatized students from falling in and dying (the spell acts like a 'skin' over the top, so students who'd die from lava just kind of bounce off the surface and onto the solid rock again). Possibly the only failsafes on ANYTHING on the ENTIRE CAMPUS. Gosh, these hot springs must have been set up a really, really long time ago...

Why bother? Because hot springs were one of the absolute best physical sensations in Halloween, barring the pleasure felt after one had a nice, evenly matched spar...where one won of course. Yin really was a simple boil.
Mort seemed concerned about being...vulnerable? But really, wearing a shirt was nothing important. And apparently zombies did not really like water, which just seemed wrong in many ways. A molerat was paddling at Yin, distracting him from thinking too hard about why the hot springs were. They existed, they felt good, and Yin for one was going to enjoy their discovery.
So being splashed by a tiny bit of water? Not that big of a deal. But he grinned at the absurdity and laughed before sweeping his hand over the top of the water, sending a nice wave of steaming water at the zomboil, and whatever other creature was around to get hit by it.
