Charls has graduated from spooky wooden swordsman to ongoing biological event. Grakte’s social calendar is just PACKED.
Bullet points:
Dr. Pelt Quill escaped by spider-dispersal after being hit with (I Will Free You From Your) Prison of Skin.
Charls gained:
- Take Root
- a new growth limb
- a whisper AND a new ticking injury/track, both called: Call From the Depths
Nettle discovered:
- The Velvet Hands (enforcers) are infused with leviathan material
- Kerghan previously witnessed Quill’s experiments and that was likely what pushed him to turn against Sallow.
Flint learned:
- Salt destabilizes the leviathan grafts
- Enforcers are containers more than soldiers.
The crew escaped with:
- Quill’s research notes
- baby pillbugs incorporated into Charls
- Quill-skin(?)
- and approximately one city’s worth of ecological consequences.
Also:
“A leviathan will always remember that it was leviathan.”
And:
“I feel like a new man.”
Hmm? Why those quotes? Nevermind. Just making a few notes…
