you're shaken awake and yelled at by Jumpy. a slimey claw grabs you and you stumble to your feet, axe in hand. you swing where there's gurgles, which is all around you.
Goof calls out a trap door and you're pulled through the rotting flesh. your foot rams against something hard— ow— and you know what it is.
your axe cracks through the padlock and the door's swung open.
gracefully (sarcasm), you tumble down the stairs and faceplant into cold concrete.
the others' footsteps echo closer as you get back up.
a voice greets you. you've never heard it before, but you know who it is.Fergie introduces fergself to your party and explains that ferg is GOD!!!!! Goof thinks it's cool, but Jumpy is just confused. Fergie refuses to elaborate and asks if you know what to do.
you stand stronger and nod. Fergie announces, "Let the fight begin!"
allies vocalize excitement and fear as the sound of wet sludge grows louder.
something's flying through the air.
it's made clear you were wrong as you're engulfed by piss orbs. that's too bad.
you got 'em! as you get closer, more comes your way.
you got 'em again! now for the head.
you chop off the right— the CORRECT head— and back away from the collapsing body. Goof says that was too easy, and Jumpy tells them not to complain.
you back up Goof's comment and recommend staying on guard. Jumpy gets nervous and wants to leave.
then, they let out a shriek. shit, what's happening?
Jumpy's getting jumped by orbs, that's what.
you hear Goof kicking, screams turning into chokes, and things moving nearby.
you pull Goof away before they get buried, and they thank you...
before something pulls them down.
Jumpy got to them, and i got to you.
Goof's curses are muffled as your hatchet cuts through Jumpy's throat. you step on them to find their limbs and lob them off, apologizing as you do.
you've had to do this so many times, to so many people... right?
a hand closes around you, but you don't fight it.you ask if he's enjoying this. he is.
you ask if she'll ever stop. she will if you say please.
you say please. they accept.you ask to be with your friends again.
it says that's the plan.
a nail rests at your throat before it's plunged through.
No-Eyes wakes up somewhere dark— a vast, empty black void.
one that doesn't smell of rot and waste.
around them are people they've met today, and people they never have. Hero gives Eyes a pat on the back, and the other protagonists celebrate freedom.
