They arrive at the WRETCH RUINS. There's something wrong with the clearing that the TCPs can't quite place. Buddy's let out and the three TCPs tread with caution- it's as if they shouldn't be here.
The destroyed pillars around the statue crumble at the touch, the ones still standing wobble when they walk past. The air feels thicker, and Primus comments that he feels sick. Dad agrees, muttering that she doesn't like the look of this place. Buddy remains quiet, holding its knife close and treading carefully.
The statue in the center is the only thing really intact- spawning fluid oozing slowly from its mouth. The void is NOT PERMITTED to use this pool; as this fluid does not belong to it.
