Okay, magic, she can do this-- she can definitionally do this, that's how being a weapon works.

She's tries to coordinate--

That gets something!

It gets a crackle of lightening, arcing up and down the blade.

She's able to use it to cut through a few monsters. "Good! That's definitely the right direction."

this is SO much better than a chair

The lightening has started grounding itself through the monsters.

"Hah! I can imagine!" They're an even better swordsperson with the magic helping, able to adapt fairly quickly to the lightning.

any guesses on how far it is to the generator?

"Usually they get a lot denser right up close, but we cleared a lot of them out earlier. I think we're just about there, though."

that's good. sooner this is over, the less i have to worry that someone going to trip over one of these things.

The craggy little passageway opens suddenly, the cave yawning wide, and here's where all the insect-kittens must be - perhaps hundreds or thousands, and many of them bigger - 

Lianne and Marian both prepare to fight.

"This is it, I bet," Lianne says. "Keep your senses alert for anything dramatically out of place."

i'd like to think giant insects are out of place EVERYWHERE, but noted.

"The portal stones usually don't - fit their surroundings, but it's hard to make any generalizations past that."

They step forwards, and open with a two handed swing through a few larger kitten-insects that'd turned to leap at them.

The kittens get very electrocuted.

The fight's hard, but they're good - 

Louie might soon notice something smooth like glass, flecked with little rainbows, and nothing like the horror-movie surroundings.

She does her best to point at it mentally. that looks like the thing we're looking for.

"Good catch." They'll blast through a handful of kitten-monsters - though these are getting to be more tiger-insects - until they're close enough to bring Louie down on the stone in an overhead chop.

She's pretty sure lightning does bad things to portal generators.

It, in fact, shatters.

The dunj ripples and fades around them, revealing a city park.

"This is where we entered," Lianne sends.

Louie unswords, tries to not fall on her butt in the process, fails.

"Huh. I kinda expected to end up back where I started--not that this doesn't make more sense, but--" She cuts herself off.

"Yeah. We'll - want to contact someone, let them know where you are. And double check the dunj didn't just reopen somewhere else."

"I'd like to think closing it here would close it everywhere, but yeah. And it'd be good to get my bearings, at least." She sounds rattled. A lot has happened-- a lot of things with implications -- and it's showing in her voice more than she'd like.

"You okay?"

"I'll be right. It's just--been a day, you know?"

"Yeah. I think we - I'm - well, whoever, I'm going to be sorting through my... General identity for a while."

She huffs out a laugh. "You and me both."
