Dne allows the lightning to expire.  When he gets the chance, he rests up again.

In reply to Brunhilda (msg # 767):

The cats fled almost before the arrival of the shoggoth.  One old calico steps from behind Tommy and greets her...

Not surprised.

What is a calcico? I assume it is greeting Brunhilda...

OOC: A calico, in reference to cats, is a cat (always female) with random-seeming patches of three different color types -- typically white, orange, and tabby -- like a bad patchwork.  Similar but different to a tortoisehell.

In reply to Virgilio Hohlfeld (msg # 772):

Ah, thank you. Brunhilda will offer her some dried fish...

In reply to Brunhilda (msg # 773):

as the fish packet is opened, two other cats show themselves...

Bratus suggests, "Perhaps these hungry felines know that way that we seek. Does anyone speak 'Cat language'?"

"Oh I do!"

He starts meowing to the cats.


Brunhilda just pats them as they eat.

Virgilio perks up, previously unaware that domestic cats had their own speech.

"Wait, cats can talk?" Looking at Tommy, Jendrich adds "the four legged ones, I mean... But seriously why did no one tell me about that? And do other animals talk?"

Not knowing the answer Bratu remains quiet.

Tommy shrugs, and continues meowing to the cats that are largely ignoring him and eating what Brunhilda offered.

Seeing the reaction...

"Oh, should have known.  They can understand us, they just don't bother to answer back."

"Would bribery with food help?" suggets Bratu.

In reply to Bratu Grimboodle (msg # 782):

"I don't bribe my friends. i just feed them." Brunhilda objects.

"Friends that won't talk to you, I see," replies Bratu. "Perhaps friends that won't talk may be comfortable with helping by showing."

"They came in with me. Not sure what they could show you we do not already know..."

"Oh I didn't notice. I'm so sorry, I thought they were locals. What a dumb bunny I am."

Dne’s head abruptly twitches from one side to another as he struggles to make sense of the conversation.  It doesn’t help that there are cats around… he doesn’t necessarily fear them, but their presence is never pleasant for a bird.

In reply to Bratu Grimboodle (msg # 786):

Brunhilda originally appeared to be wearing a patchwork fur coat, but was actually covered with cats.
They had fled when the Shoggoth showed up, and apparently had made their way up here.
They also seem to be indifferent to Tommy's meowing.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 788):

Tommy sighs and stops, going back to scouting.

"I guess they don't want to talk. I will find out myself..."

"Thanks for trying," says Bratu with a nod.

In reply to Bratu Grimboodle (msg # 790):

eventually you all move across the ladders until the sounds of the chanting ooze start to fade.
Much like the pattern of the Goblins' attire, the walls, ceiling and floor are painted in a zigzag pattern, only it seems to move.

"This color scheme is going to have me wanting some ginger root tea, like my mother used to make when I was queasy..."

Tommy will kepp looking at the route, trying to keep safe from below...
