Chapter 13 by fuerant fuerant

What's next?

Not wanting to risk any contact, you decide to disperse the bubbles.

The bubbles' arcane structure is an extension of the succubus' power, so you reason that Strokmier should be able to disperse them. You gently touch one of the strange orbs with your activated gauntlet; it crackles momentarily as its smooth surface ripples and spikes erratically. Just as quickly as it started reacting, it collapses in on itself with a quiet "pop"!

Confident that your strategy is working, you work your way down the hall and carefully pop each bubble you come across. It's remarkably satisfying to watch each one fizzle out of existence. By the time you reach the external door however, you've noticed that your gauntlet is being affected by the bubbles as well - a jolt of energy jumps through the gauntlet with each pop, and strange pink sparks are starting to travel over the leather. Suffering an arcane overreaction now would be disastrous - you decide to avoid using the gauntlet for now to prevent overloading Strokmier.

Still, you need to get past the bubbles drifting around the hallway. The ones around the door and further down the hall are crowded too closely together to just sneak past, so you'll have to wave them aside with your cloak.

The only question is which way to go...
