Letting out a sigh and nodding, he turned to Sakura. "It's done. That thing's dealt with." Turning back, he waved Blazermate over. "Peach could use a hand, if you'd be so kind." As Mirage came over and then tripped over the magnet that was left behind, Geralt cocked an eyebrow but said nothing. That whole situation was nerve-wracking, he'd let him have [i]some[/i] dignity. Frankly, he was just glad they got out of it relatively unscathed. Peach would need a hand, sure, but otherwise they were doing wonderfully. "Alright, now that that's handled, we have a fish man to deal with." That being said, Geralt went with Mirage to check out how the battle was going on the other side. More prepared for the carnage than Mirage, Geralt nodded. "Ace and Nadia did a helluva job making a racket for that guy. Dropped some on him, too. Managed to get a good shot in with that weird nail, thing, too, but he's a big guy. Seems like it barely put a scratch on him, relatively speaking." He shook his head before shrugging. "We'll just have to see what we can do." Mirage could do a good amount, it seemed, at least in terms of getting the group where they needed to go. That dart gun was simply too useful. Following after the Legend, Geralt grunted as he landed on a dart, the hunger slowing him down. "Wait." He called out, shakily forcing himself to stand. "This...damned...hunger. It's getting to me." Taking a moment to breathe, he jumped to the next dart. "We can't take much more of this. Liable to collapse soon." When the pair made it to the next safe spot, Geralt stopped. "The lady we spoke to about this place said the food would be cursed. But cursed is better than dead, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time." As much as he hated it, he was succumbing to the hunger. If they didn't deal with this place sooner rather than later, they'd be lucky to get out of this. "Let's just get done with this and help the others. We can deal with the whole starvation crap later."
