[He's patient and he knows keeping calm is the best way to keep holding his breath longer. He is Getting This Lock Open.]

[When it finally clicks, he shoves the tools into his pocket, and shifting to pressing his feet against the outer bars and use it as leverage to yank open the door wider.]

[pyrighteous]

[ It yanks, finally. Leo can't see what's going on, but he can feel the Hunter inside the cage carefully swimming his way out. ]

[agentgymstudent]

[yes good]

[Time to use the bars to YANK HIMSELF back above the sludge again.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Both of them resurface with a gasp, then. Belos is dangling over them. ]

Annoying. Do you know how much of a pain it was to get him in there?

[agentgymstudent]

Be mad, you deserve every annoyance in life, child murderer.

[Where's Hunter, does he need help getting out?]

[pyrighteous]

[ He is definitely struggling! The mud seems keen on sucking him down in particular, and ...

Well, Belos comes over to try to shove him back down. ]

[agentgymstudent]

[He moves forward, and gonna WHACK AN OLD MAN in the face with a wing!]

Hunter, we need to get out. People are waiting for you!

[pyrighteous]

[ OW HEY. He glares and mjutters something? Leo will feel one of his legs starting to petrify.

Meanwhile, Hunter gasps and struggles. ]

I - but - it's better, he promised -

[agentgymstudent]

[Well, that's a thing.]

[We are just gonna ignore that! We got two extra limbs to keep us moving and fine tune leg movement is not as necessary right now.]

He is a liar.

[He is grabbing Hunter's arm and he's using his wings to help pull himself and Hunter out of the muck, get them higher up. Time to use that surface area trick again.]

He will continue to hurt you, no matter what you do, if you choose to stay, but there are people outside this room who will do everything to protect you.

[pyrighteous]

[ For a moment, it seems lie Hunter might be stuck ... and then he abruptly comes free with a sucking pop. ]

Are you sure?

[agentgymstudent]

Hunter.

I am not leaving this room without you.

Either we both leave, or we both don't.

That's how sure I am.

[pyrighteous]

[ Yeah, Hunter looks at the awful mud pit around them ... ]

How do we leave?

[agentgymstudent]

We go out that door. [He points to it and he's gonna keep trying to move that way, using his wings how he can to help pull them along because that is the most surface area he's got and the easiest thing to move while holding onto Hunter.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter follows carefully, stumbling on the slick surface. ]

R. right. I can - I can do that -

[ Until Belos surges up behind them again, staff in hand. ]

You two aren't going anywhere.

[agentgymstudent]

[He grabs a handful of the muck in his free hand]

[AND THROWS IT AT HIS FACE]

Keep going, Hunter!

[pyrighteous]

O-okay!

[ He scrambles up towards the painting exit - the guard is there, extending a hand down -

And Belos extends a limb, trying to grab Leo bodily. ]

[agentgymstudent]

[Leo bites back the cry of surprise, and shoves Hunter towards the exit.]

[Quickly pulling the ice pick out of his pocket again to STAB THAT LIMB.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter stumbles but makes the rest of the way. Meanwhile, Belos cries out in pain, forced to drop him. ]

[agentgymstudent]

[Going to push HARD against the muck with his wings, letting them act as a launching point to lunge for the door.]

[pyrighteous]

[ He lunges then - doesn't quite make it up?

And then two pairs of hand reach down to grab him. ]

[agentgymstudent]

[HE IS TAKING THOSE HANDS, he ain't so proud to not accept help.]

Out out out!

[pyrighteous]

We got you!

[ They pull him out just as Belos slashes through the spot he was just in. ]

[agentgymstudent]

[Yes, good, moving with them and just gonna]

[Let himself collapse on the ground after they're out of the room.]

[Give him a minute, he needs to breathe.]

[pyrighteous]

[ That's fine, the two Hunters aren't going anywhere.

Muddy Hunter speaks up. ]

That - that was too close.

[agentgymstudent]

Worth it.

[He flaps a hand to pat his side or arm or something.]

I'm gonna need a minute before I go somewhere else.
