Somehow, staying quiet doesn't make me think it'll all be okay. Whatever's going on *does* seem to live in a dark cave...I'm sure it will have its ways of sneaking up and doing cruel things o.o

And I refuse to abandon Arty (and that expensive staff). There's gotta be something I can do with the bow, be it fight or...I dunno what else, but something! Let's fight, I guess x.x

It's pretty cruel to be giving the option of just up and abandoning your friend, shouldn't there be an option of trying to free your friend THEN running away. That's what anyone else would do.

I don't think prayer will help here. Seeing as the first time you had arty's help and she was able to give you hope because that's the best weapon against a nightmare. this is different. If you tried to abandon Arty, you'd only end up stuck yourself, so that's a no go. So it's either stay as quiet as possible or ready your bow. I'd stay quiet as possible but keep the bow by me so I can fire an arrow if the situation calls for it.

Prepare for battle!

I'd saaaay...fight it out! D= Show the approaching enemy what you're made of!
