'You ok Oval? Ya wanna go to my trailer? Pipes aren't great places to cower.'

 The shake their head violently. "Pipe. Pipe. Pipe."

*In the dark pipe, you say?*

Oval hears the surrounding whispers growing louder.

 Oval covers their ear-fins and closes their eyes tightly, hugging their bear to their chest.

 Adonis reaches in and casts Light on the bear.

You and Oval and everyone crowded around the pipe can hear the Effluvia screeching as it is pushed further back into the pipe by the light of the bear.

 Oval notices that there is something in there with her and, quicker than a bolt of lighting, she is out of there, hyperventilating.

 Marcial runs over, seeing a distressed Oval. "Hey, you okay?"

 "Pipe monster!!" She attaches to his leg.

 "Effluvia. It hunts down those who stay out of the light. This place is relatively safe, but we still need protection. That is why I am here."

 Oval seems to calm down a bit but has attached herself to Marcial. 

You hear Axel inside one of the RVs.

"Huh- Who- Hey, get away from me! Whaddya tryin' to- Stay back!"

 Adonis rushes over and yanks open the door. If it is stuck, he bashes it down.

 Marcial stays put, deciding to stay with Oval. He respects Adonis, so he'll let him handle whatever's going on.

* I'm back who is everyone and what should I do sorry lol *

 Adonis rushes over and yanks open the door. If it is stuck, he bashes it down.

You bash down the door, and see a figure in a flowing black dress, her face obscured by- no, draped in Effluvia, which also sits in a small pool around her feet. A faint crimson aura surrounds her entire being. Axel is laying against the back wall of the RV, a gaping hole in their chest, not moving. The figure looks at you for but a second.

"Curious..."

They then wink out of existence, the Effluvia dispersing and vanishing into the shadows of the night.

Adonis returns to the group. "The light was not enough to protect Axel." He removes his helmet and holds it to his chest, revealing his mangled face.

 Oval whimpers and holds her bear closer to her.

'I'm sorry. Sorry to Axel, sorry to all you guys'
