The second stomach wasn’t any better. The bile was now as thick as mud and had a viscosity that made it slippery and hard to move. The smell was overbearing like fish guts left in the sun to rot for a week. What was warm before was now an overbearing heat and the THUD THUD THUD beating was louder now. “Alright everyone. We should have access from here. Just ..” Melvin tried to wipe off the slime from his visor but it only smeared it more. Shaking his arms to flick some globs of goo off, he continued. “The tissue here is softer here. Cut through the walls and dig up. Go towards the heartbeat. The main chamber should be just above us, just cut between the ridges where the bones are between the tissue. It's wide enough between each ridge to allow anyone to go between.” A gooey clawed hand rose up to grab his arm, trying to pull him down as small bubbles formed on the surface of the slime. A large, red gun was summoned as he shot down and the hand vanished….only for bubbles to start forming around every hunter. “Okay. Took loud. We...We need to go now. Yeah, right now. Get moving!” He called out, firing into the muck as half-dissolved hands started to grab for anything they could find.” Melvin gestured and held out his hand. "Come here and I'll hoist you up!" Quote: The climb: You need to get to the heart chamber above and the only way to do that is to use your weapon to cut into the flesh and claw up into the tissue into the next room. Melvin can give you a boost. However, the digested creatures not done in by the feeder fish want to keep you with them and pull you into the muck. Break free and get to the next chamber or else you’ll be chum. To break free. Roll 1d6. Even means you break free. Odd you fail and have to try again. If you fail 3 times, you are overtaken by the melted hands and sink into the muck. Call out to be saved and post in BOLD RED “Help” to be rescued. Rescue: Only once you break free can you save someone else. Quote them and write who you are rescuing at the top of your post. The hands have 20hp and do -5 auto dmg. More than one person can save someone. Once rescued the person can then climb up with everyone else.

Terry was not having a good day. Having been in need of saving, the trainee was determined to pull his weight this time around and not have to be rescued now that they were apparently reaching the end of their mission.
The thing they were in, however, had other plans.

To Terry's credit, the expression on his face was grim determination instead of the nihilistic dread he felt as he struggled to free himself. Agata was cheering him on, and while it was obviously just in his head, the grin of his toothy shield seemed to look bigger.
Must be his imagination.

At Agata's encouragement, and the desire to stop looking like a totally useless lump, the Life Trainee managed to pull himself free. He was breathing hard and if they were in a less squelchy environment, Terry might have even hugged the ground in gratitude.
Instead, he was doubled over, hands pressed against his knees in a struggle to catch his breath.
I need to do more cardio... he noted to himself.

Joy was more than willing to get the hell out of this place. It was just downright gross and while she could stomach it to an extent, they were now getting to the heart of the matter. Unfortunately, her first attempt at gaining a solid foothold had failed.

"Hoy! Kamay niyo!" Joy growled at the hands trying to keep her trapped. And when one limb in particular gave a squeeze to a certain body part, Joy face turned a furious shade of red and hacked herself free. She may have gone a little overboard in warding off the hands that she spent more time than necessary before scrambling back up.

Kim watched first Terry, then Joy struggle to climb to the next chamber. She on the other hand managed to kick one of the dissolved hands out of the way and leap up admittedly using Chintliss to help her a bit, whips were good that way, before grabbing onto something and hiking her way inside the next chamber, goo still oozing off of her boots. This stunk, literally, it was so repulsive. She looked at Terry, patting him on the back slightly with the cleaner of her two hands before giving a thumbs up to Joy. "Whoo, we are in the heart room. Hey does that mean if we steal the heart we will be nobodies?" Stupid question.

This had to be what people were referring to when they talked about leaping from the frying pan and into the fire. Literally.
Kyle sighed to himself, already regretting his earlier decision against stopping for a bit to use the runic bandages he had to patch himself up some. There wasn't any time that they could spare here. Not with the hands that were trying to drag them down.
Waiting for his turn to be boosted up by Melvin, he summoned his shurikens as instructed to and used them to try to cut himself a way up towards the thudding sound.

Kyle was getting a headache between the heat, the thudding sound and trying to fight off the many hands that were trying to hinder his progress. Got to keep going otherwise he was done for. He kept telling himself that over and over as he kicked out at the hands and continued to climb through the mass of soft tissue.

It still proved to be too much for Kyle in the end. Just stopping for a moment to try to catch his breath was all that was needed for the hands to wrap tighter around his torso and limbs and pull him into the muck whence they came from.
< Fight them! You can't give up just like this! You can't just leave Matt behind! > Semaj urged him on in his mind, the incubus' voice now frantic with what seemed like a tinge of worry.
< I'm trying... it's just too hard... >
< The other hunters... your comrades... what are they there for? Jack dammit! Just jacking call out to them for help you idiot! >
Semaj was right. If he didn't call out to the rest of the hunters now before the muck took him entirely, no one would know or come to his aid. "They've got me. I can't break free. Help!" He called out at the top of his voice before he was dragged even further down.
HP: 12/40

Kimberly leaned over the opening, holding her hand out. "Come on, jump up I will try to help you." She hoped that the guy below was able to reach her hand so she could get him up with the rest of them. "Kick the hands out of the way, they really are not too much of a pain once you stop on some of them." What more could she do? She really wished she knew how to use the bandages so she could heal the poor guy.

Rescuing!
Pointing his gun into the muck, he shot once more. Bubbles erupted around Kyle as he was released.
"Come on. They will pick us off. Up you two go. I'll follow last."
He offered his laced hands to hoist them up.

Inside the chamber is a beating mass. A heart, or what looks like three hearts fused together with translucent arteries pumping blue and green liquid in and out. The closer you get, the more you feel the heat coming from it. Hotter than the walls and acid you felt before.
“This is it! Break that apart. We need this thing gone!” Melvin’s voice crackled over the headset, harder now to hear as the massive THUD THUD THUD of the heartbeat drowned out all other noise. Each pulse vibrates through your system, and soon your heart mimics it’s beat until it’s hard to decide if it’s ITs heart or your heart thudding in your ears. As you fight, the heartbeat becomes quieter and quieter in your ears and you start to worry if it’s YOUR heart that will stop. Why stop the sound? Why stop the heart? Doesn’t this sound feel comforting - like a sound you used to know? Quote: THE HEART: 500HPPlease update your posts when you roll to keep track of collective damage to the heart. The heart must be destroyed. All hunters need to work together to destroy the heart before the oxygen tanks run to empty. Effect: The more damage done to the heart, you more you start to feel that the beating of it’s heart is your heart, and it’s getting weaker and weaker. How does this make you feel? Why does it make you think of a sound that comforted you before? A memory of a sound that made you feel safe. THIS WILL RUN TILL: the 23rd Midnight EST You are free to continue attacking until the heart is destroyed or the deadline ends.

Yahoo! This was it, time to fight something else! Kimberly nearly danced in place as she snapped out Chinthliss, who seemed to vibrate in her hands. "Show time Boss!"
You realize you are insane brat. I am surprised anyone trusts you. You get too much of a high off fighting...
"Aww, shut it Manti-corpse! I like fighting."
She flexed her wrists then targetted the hearts. Time to get cracking. Her impressive lead up was all for nothing though as she completely missed her target, causing her weapon to burst into laughter in her mind, followed by am image of her flopping on her face.
"Hnnn...." She was not as amused as he was.
Heart HP: 500/500
