Tis a most exquisite day to prowl about as a king of vultures, if I do say so myself!
Goodness gracious! That may just be the most delectable blue lizard I've seen throughout my life!
WARNING: ANIMAL/CHARACTER DEATH

Time for denial!
I'm not the best at making comics, but I hope this did Tangled Kelp 's death justice.
Notes-
Sizzle doesn't realize his mom set the trap
Kelp was not fast enough to get away, they spent their last moments looking up at Sizzle l, hoping he'll be okay.

Now it's time to let the angry anon army storm my ask box.

Information.
Greetings, Invenot. I come bearing important information.
Have you found the Artificer or something?
You have guessed correctly. I do have a question, though. What happened to her to cause this karma affliction?
It'd be better to ask her yourself.
Another question, if you don't mind - could the 'rot' Hunter speaks of return at any point?
Sorry, Saint. I don't know. Missions are usually too short for it to come back, so even if it will affect her again, I have no idea.
I take it this is the longest mission you've given them, and by extension, me included?
Yeah. They wanted to go on a big adventure or something. I enjoy seeing them happy.
Very well then. Take care.
Bye!
----
(continued under the cut, this is rather long)
Hunter, are you comfortable with answering a few questions about the rot?
Uh, yeah, go ahead.
How long did it take for the rot to develop?
Well, I don't have a clear starting point, but not very long. Why?
I am simply... collecting information. How long do missions usually last?
... Saint. Are you implying something?
Until I have enough information, no.
I've already ascended. I won't rot again.
You seemed upset upon being asked by that weird overseer.
If I start rotting, you can just ascend me.
Invenot said that they removed the ability for whatever reason. My only hypothesis is that they want us to increase the Artificer's karma ourselves.

Go bug someone else with your questions.
Before I can do that, we most likely should find shelter. Where are the others?
Hunting.
We can meet them in the den. They will understand what to do.
You can go. You're, uh... annoying me.
If that is your wish.
---
Rivulet? Gourmand? What brings you here, before the others?
Riv thought it'd be a good idea to try and do that spinny-spear thing Spearmaster does.
I almost succeeded! Plus, I have a cool bandage thing now! I look tough, right?
It is not up to me to define it. Though I would say that you have been through your own hardships and still retain a high level of optimism that only colony slugpups would carry. That is an impressive feat.
...oh. Cool. Is that yes or no?
It depends on your personal definition. Anyway, if you're both here, I would like to ask something.
Go on.
Do any of you have experience interacting with rot?
Oh! I do! I had to get a rarefaction cell from a rotting iterator! Five Pebbles!
Do you believe hunter could re-gain the rot during our mission?
...
...
I was the medic for my colony. I wasn't trained in dealing with rot, though. That's a specialised kind of medic, whereas I was more trained for helping with general stuff.
Would Hunter be able to endure a journey to a colony, whilst rotting?
I don't know. Plus, rot is never cured, really. Mostly just... delayed.
That might be able to buy us enough time to get to the Void Sea.
The rot might not even happen.
That is our hope, yes.

[survivor] We're back!
Where is Hunter?
[survivor] She said she wanted some time to reflect on something.
[monk] Artificer, can I get down now?
Ah, yes, Artificer. May I ask what happened to your karma?
I don't know. Probably something to do with the explosion thing. Or the scavengers. I don't really care.
You need to care in order to ascend.
Why would I want to do so?
You have achieved all you have wanted to, correct?
...mostly.
What is your final goal?
Either to kill every last scavenger or to see those two again.
Which 'two' do you speak of?
My... my pups.
That explains a lot regarding the way you seem to have adopted Monk.
[survivor] and me, kind of.
We should start eating.
And what about Hunter?
I was gonna save some for her.
Do you have fruit of some kind?
I do! I carry some blue fruit in my bag.
I accept the fruit with gratitude, Gourmand.

It can't come back.
Right?
