บท 237: Servant of the Axe - Tour of Kamaochi Citadel

Chapter Type: Character Development

Well, I just had to dunk my head under the water and let out a big scream.  In retrospect, that may have been uncomfortable for anyone feeding the basement fires, and if so, I truly and deeply apologize.

Also… don't breathe in after you scream under the surface of boiling water.  Abilities like Boil, Boil might protect you from the raw damage, but…

Actually, considering how soothing it is on skin, if you find it soothing to have boiling water inside your lungs, go ahead.

For my part, I nearly leapt out of the tub, expelling water as fast as my poor aching lungs could cough the stuff up.  I did catch some servants peeking to see what the noise was, but they rapidly found other directions to look after I recovered.

Well, I wasn't going to be soothed by more bathing.  I toweled myself off and got into my clothes (ignoring wet spots, water had gotten all over the floor between the admiral and myself).
