Once he was certain that the threat of the delphinids was gone for good, the King turned to Andromeda . "Are you alright?" he spoke quietly, but loud enough for his voice to serve as a beacon for their missing team member. As the mermaid went back to work her bag began to grow heavier, slowing her movements, but bringing them closer with every stone to the completion of the task.
Isla 's rock flew wide, but it passed near enough to a creeping tendril to cause the Void River Star to jerk back, giving her plenty of time to move away from it fast enough that it couldn't follow before losing her footsteps in the mist and geysers. The Ancient was able to use the rumbling of the King's voice as a compass to lead her back to where the Mer were at work. Hadama looked up at her approach, relaxing when he saw who it was, and nodded at her words. "Indeed. We encountered some as well. We will stay together while we finish."
Looking at his own bag and Andromeda's swiftly-filling one he added: "We are almost done. A few more and we will have enough." As if in counterpoint a nearby geyser erupted, casting a fine mist of water droplets around them and increasing the difficulty in seeing the stones until they were almost on top of them.
Last round!
Hadama wants the group to stick together as they finish up. Unfortunately the local geysers are picking up activity and making it hard to see.
Collect the last batch of rocks in spite of the reduced visibility.
