*Doesn't respond, instead gasping and shaking, trying to regain my composure*

@Techspert

Old woman: By the ways of water, you may leave. We don't expect to see you again.
Old man: Yet your troublesome motivations remain. We will address those in due course. You may prefer your fate had you perished in this river.

@Memory

*Coughs and chokes out a ragged word*
Wait—
*Flips my scythe upside down and pushes off of it against the boat to a standing position*
The river has spared me... your own ways don't allow you to reject that judgement.

Young woman: No, but you still lost the battle. And the blessing of the river does not touch those you care about.

@Memory

Wait!
*Breaks into a coughing fit*
By the sands, I won't be a problem for you. Just leave them all alone!

@Techspert

Old man: What could be more worthless than a covenant of sands? Begone!
*A riptide sweeps through the river and carries your boat away*

Old man: ...
*Whispers into the surrounding space beyond our tent*
Young boy: How are you going to touch him with the river's blessing?
Old man: Although the twelve of us are forbidden from harming him, we have a thread at our disposal.
Adult woman: And our most impactful options don't touch him at all.

@Codify

Now that you've merged, you must have some kind of new featureset.
