The bozoom was on its way towards them, while Nanouk had finally met an experienced Cave Raider called Akraia. She was the one who sought him out because she wanted to know more about the city called Ghateelock.
A discution that lasted but a few minutes for Nanouk had already taken place over the hour his friend had spent climbing down in the 4th layer, but they were able to exchange a few information between them as they were waiting for the Bozzom to climb up to their location. She told them to use a Shavarkh Fin to breathe so the stink wouldn't impair them, but they had only one and decided Snaker was going to try and kill it.
Akraia offered to bring Nanouk directly to them and used her Relic to do so. Of course, the few seconds it took her to activate her device, the fight Between Snaker and the Bozoom was finished, but Akraia and Nanouk appeared right next to Snaker.
They all moved away from the stinking area left behind by the Bozzom and exchanged some knowledge wit Akraia, a few free advices, but they traded a few items for a few very well kept secrets, mainly, the ability to Merge Relics together to enhance and multiply their effects and features.
Akraia has a Twomaws Cannon that was merged with many other relics, which enables her to shoot flaming disck that cuts just about everything in its wake and is mentally controlled, and it can also use the Soul Grabber merged into it, to jump/teleport directly to another Soul Grabber, provided she knows the Soul Grabber unique symbol.
They traded some adamantium (4 pounds Nanouk gave to her), MMandI gave Akraia a scroll with spells on it, and Nanouk also guaranteed her a guide in Barranor for when she would go up there, if she finds a pair of wings Third Works in Kounaxi.
They got to know Akraia more, but she also said that she thought Kromm was a maniac obsessed with finding a way to come back from the 6th layer. She also told them she saw a creature in the 4th layer, whom apparently did go to th 6th layer and came back, the creature called Mitty. So later, they decided to go find Mitty, after Akraia teleported them to another Soul Grabber she had left near Mitty's place.
Akraia had two pets and one took a liking for MMandI, so when Akraia left, she offered to leave Humpf with MMandI, making her promise to take care of Humpf and not to eat it.
Akraia also mentioned a place where even her couldn't figure out a way to make it passed a deadly trap, near the end of the 3rd layer, a place Snaker also rememberd, where there was a crack in the rock and a bridge with what looked like a completely different world environment. Akraia said it was a long tunel with many traps, one of which she had never managed to survive, always being revived by her Soul Grabber. She said it was a very long bridge with a gigantic statue of a feline with tentacles, shooting energy blasts of various types, each of which was enough to kill just about anyone in one shot.
Akraia teleported away, allegedly back into Kounaxy after giving them a few Unique Symbols of other Soul Grabber she had hidden in a few key places; Kounaxy, 3rd entrance to 4th layer and 1 near Kromm Fortress on 5th layer.
They took a long rest and then went to find Mitty. Turns out it was the same Mitty, fluffy furry ball they had freed from Kromm's tower up in Barranor and she was very happy to see them.
Mitty brought them back to her little house, which is in a cave free of the Curse Weave, and gave them a few relics, which they used to test a bunch of merges, creating some better relics.
Mitty also told them what she remembered from her experience with Kromm and how she was a prisoner and test subject, how much she suffered for eons since the day she was brought to the 5th layer Fortress until she was freed from the podium in Kromm's tower.
They debated on what to do next, wanting to discover more relics to try and make more merges, as well as trying to eat more meat from the monsters to gain in power since Snaker knew how to make the effect become permanent and Akraia had confirmed all of this. --- Or go find Kromm and see from there.
A difficult decision to be made...
