He's just. Not. Going to acknowledge that.

"Fair enough. Or if there was something immediately going to happen with the --" do not call it the rift maw lady moon thing -- "new moon but that seems even less likely."

"I have no idea what might happen with the new moon or with nautical boat phantoms."

"Cool. Tomorrow night, then."

Later:

"A-- are you guys going to want me to-- to lead you through the catacombs?"

"We are. Sorry for the short notice."

"Um. That sounds kind of. Um. Potentially fatal."

"What isn't?"

"Most things I do!"

"...Is leading us through the catacombs going to be significantly more difficult than we realized."

"Well, no, but some demons might go down INTO the catacombs. Or just, like. Men with guns."

"The men with guns are accounted for and demons seem... unlikely. Since the local demon is a giant mouth affixed to a wall."

"A floor, actually, but the point holds."

Martin did NOT SURVIVE THIS LONG BY LISTENING TO PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAID THINGS AREN'T FATAL.

Hey Zoe absolutely acknowledged it might be fatal.

"How about I write you guys... directions."

Zoe's stance here is that if he wants the Black Pharaoh Cast Out then he is going to have to do somethings that are potentially fatal.

"We'll take directions."

Martin gives them directions.

"When you say to beware these traps is it just a matter of looking for and going around them or is it more complicated than that."

"Remove only the posts you must, replace all the posts you can?? What's the deal with these posts?

Also how flooded are the flooded catacombs."

"Given all of the traps and the flooded tunnels do we maybe want to... revise this plan... such that we don't have to worry about blades dropping from the ceiling."

"There's kind of a lot of nectar?"

"If you know the trap is there it's not that hard to avoid."

Martin feels that the traps are less scary than the men with guns. Traps behave predictably.

"It's flooded with Nectar??"

"Uh. Nectar-seawater mix?"

"But yeah the Mouth produces a lot of Nectar."

"We are going to have to swim through Nectar."
