Before Bonkakira followed the group, she stopped to pick up Bowyetta’s belongings: Her umbrella, a six-sided die, a spool of string, and a set of measuring spoons. Beepsumu shot her a quick glare as she did so, but Bonk’s response was “Bowyetta might want this stuff back. Besides, it may come in handy.”

As the group entered the next room, they were met with another extreme blast of heat, this one even stronger than the last. “G-geez…” Beepsumu mumbled. “I feel like my circuits are going to melt… Could we be in-”

Her question was answered when she felt something heavy slamming the floor, accompanied by another one of Bowyetta’s screams. At the back of the room Smithy was chasing Bowyetta with his hammer, slamming it as he went. Neither of them had noticed the group yet. “You’re not going to get away forever!”

Beepsumu called to Bowyetta. “Bowyetta, it’s us! Are you okay? What are you doing?”

Bowyetta gave her one of her smiles. “Bowyetta is remembering something about this room! If we are shaking of the floor enough-”

Bowyetta didn’t have a chance to finish her sentence. Her brief pause was enough to allow Smithy time to catch up to her, and she was only able to give a singular squeak as she was crushed beneath Smithy’s hammer.

Beepsumu couldn’t even react. She wasn’t sure HOW to react. She could only repeat Bowyetta’s words. “Shaking the floor… Shaking… The Floor…”

Bonkakira looked at the items in her hands. “Bonkakira doesn’t think these will be very useful.

She was answered with a knocking noise. “BUT WE MIGHT BE!!”

The Repairman had a visible layer of mist over him now, as even he was feeling the heat.

He could only watch in shock as Smithy chased Bowyetta around, finally crushing her like the arrow from earlier.

He was stunned until he heard something knock from his hammerspace.

He remembered the arrows, and pulled out his two remaining pieces of flint.

“All right,” he said, as they emerged. “Have at it!”

And with that, he dashed over to try and get the badly battered Bowyetta.
