The rear portions of the SSRS Kostroma have been cleared. The Boiler room draws near. Still that sound persists. Calling them.

You hear a claw tap against the floor before a big booty raptor appears before the party. What do you do?
Sorry, I just want praise for my art.
Also, I thought it was a funny joke, but we know people can't be dissuaded from committing to their bad ideas. ^^

Hehe, wait, there's a bunch of stuff happening here. Maybe a bad time. ^^

Cavaliere rolls handle animal to tame the raptor as a mount!
Also, nice art! I like the angles you use.

This was an incredibly silly and hilarious set of events Even if it became less fun when Posey was trying to spend her limited magic to attack another party member which would not have worked because Kira has improved grapple and improved grab

What actually has to be done before we can go attack Light Water?
.
I can use Negative Energy Burst while grappled because it's (Su). It has no real use other than punishing grapplers.

We just have to decide on what we're doing first. Didn't we agree before that we were taking on the Fellow Traveler and then dealing with Light Water once he's in a weakened state? This is a better plan if we want to capture Light Water alive, as otherwise he'll be dangerous due to being a psychic conduit.

I thought the plan was always to eliminate Light Water first, to weaken the Intruder. Light Water is the one with mortal anatomy, easier to kill.
>This is a better plan if we want to capture Light Water alive
Why? I was looking forward to killing him.

Partial View peals off to attempt to close some sort of panel. Or that's what it sounds like. Like trying to close a metal panel on metal

Okay, and I can get why Posey was angry, but using that here would've been stupid for IC and OOC reasons. Thank you for backing off at that point.
>Why? I was looking forward to killing him.
He'll be as valuable as the entire ship if we get him alive, since he has had a long direct link with the Fellow Traveler yet is not fully controlled. Without the entity, he'll be relatively harmless but will retain knowledge of it. Of course, one may argue we should kill him precisely because his knowledge is too dangerous, but I don't think that would worry Posey as much as the leverage and financial return that he would get us.

By this time, Zara has also come over, as has Rustling Pine. Patient Pipette is close by, though she likely never left.
It's an old panel that probably kept the old coal bunker closed. Oil seems to seep out. Rustling Pine is trying to close it, but the oil will not let him.

Silver inspects the panel, thinking on how he'd fix the problem as a smith.

The oil seeps out of the panel. Like a tar. Silver notices that the pressure is strong. It is pushing out

Kira slithers over, looming over the otherwise large stallion who now seems so small in comparison. She presses her own hooves against the panel and helps with the pushing.

It pushes. it presses. It does not yield. If anything, the panel yields. There is a yip, and it seems that more oil is coming out from elsewhere.
This is not the light, translucent diesel that flows easily. This is bunker oil, the left-over mass of heavy alkanes left behind in the refining process after the lighter gases, gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuels have boiled off. It is so called because the only use ever found for it was in the boilers of ocean-traversing ships, where it is stored in former coal bunkers. This too, is a former coal bunker, and it was never intended to store such a liquid. It smells disgusting, is sticky, and is almost jelly like, moving slowly. But it isn't slow when it comes out of the panel.

More oil comes out. It is now obvious there is not only the one panel, but at least two. There is still another cap where oil flows out, and Zara attempts to close it, to no avail.

Mala runs over towards Cavaliere, ready to do as commanded. There is a squicking sound. His paws run through oil.
Zara's ears are to her side, and she sits, pressing both hooves to her face. She is starting to get covered in oil.
"Uh...." Her eyes twinkle and her expression is grim.
"I uh, I uh, I'll find something. She stands up, though it isn't obvious exactly what she intends to do.
>>195357
With enormous effort, Silver manages to close the cap. It helps that the cap is very small. The resistance is extreme. It would be easy to say that it is the pressure of the oil, but if anything, the pressure coming it is too great for its slow, molasses like flow that seems closer to a creeping fog. Perhaps it is the sticky, gritty oil itself that is blocking the cap.
All the same and with great effort, the cap is closed.

Posey is very upset to get oil on her tail and steps far away, from the oil, devoting herself to salvaging her tail.

Perhaps a fuel valve leaving a bunker, but he doesn't see much
>>195370
Posey is able to move away. It does not cover the whole floor, though more comes out.
On the one hoof, it looks like... well, petroleum oil. An especially heavy version. Not quite bitumen or tar, but more comparable to that than the transparent AvGas and yellow diesel fuel. It's sticky and unpleasant on the coat, but it does not burn.
But the way that it flows... It's resistant without being fast. It pools but its spread does not cover the entire floor. Indeed, it moves almost like ants, moving in a pattern. It looks supernatural to her.

Is it a creature, a spell? A psionic power? Does she know how she can fix it?

Cavaliere keeps looking about, and grabs at his flashlight to shine at the pipe. His boots make a plop sound as he steps through the oil. "There might be a valve here. It's hard to see."

The best Posey can guess is a bitumen-kerosene mix being moved by telekenesis magic. But at the same time, Posey cannot see the tattletale glowing magical aura of magic. It moves almost like a hivemind of ants. Stop the puppet or stop the puppeteer, but besides that, Posey cannot say.
