The snowdrift does not attempt to retaliate. Excavation will cost Ida 1 action point.

Ida spends her **valuable action point** on excavation.

Ida cheerfully digs up a pile of various human remains. Everything would be fine, but bluish ichor was oozing from them!

If only I knew what ichor was.

The girl took a small step back and checked if her shoes were dirty. At the same time, she tries to remember what ichor is and where she knows how to identify it.
“Teacher!” Ida called out to Utar, drawing everyone’s attention. “Did you examine this?”

The giant lowered his gaze at Hryashch. Boredom was easily read in his eyes.

"Ruk-Shator, traveler," introduced the stranger. His voice rumbled like a landslide on the only road leading into the Dungeon. "I am studying the mountain range."

Judging by the giant's appearance, he could send a ratling flying with one kick.

-- I'm Hryashch, a grenadier. I'm also studying the ridge; what a coincidence! Why don't we join forces—if teamwork is your thing?

Hearing the name "Khryashch," the burly fellow stretched and grinned mockingly.

"Khryashch? Is that a name? Zakz-Zakun! People have really gotten smaller. Better to throw bombs than not to throw them. Let's go!"

How lucky Khryashch was to steal those supplies...

The swordsmen from Corvis’s guard rushed to the sound of Ida’s cry. Uthar and Mahra hurried after them. “What a disgrace…” the alchemist clenched his fists. “With each stellar cycle, the chthonic forest increasingly defiles humankind!” “Now, now, Master Uthar,” Corvis raised his hand in a conciliatory gesture. “Don’t lose your composure. What frightens you here is commonplace for those who suffer. I see nothing… oh, Emperor! What is this?!” Ichor came alive! The bluish substance enveloped the leg of the nearest swordsman and pulled him into the pile of human remains. “Aaaah! It burns! It burns! It’s… inside me! I’m melting! Melting! Decay… death… will… the doom of mankind! Aaaah!” – the human voice turned into a monstrous roar. “Flesh… is changing!” The swordsman’s body rapidly lost its shape, swelled, and oozed ichor. Fluid gushed from his mouth, eyes, and ears. The swordsman slumped; his flesh, soft and pliable, fell out of his armor. It merged with the buried remains, forming an icy mass of bones and decay. An aura of winter breath emanated from it, a terrifying frost. It subsided briefly, calmed down, but only to soon bulge and begin to form something new. Before the horrified warriors and stunned Uthar, an unknown creature was born as if from clay. Human meat became its foundation, and skin served as its garment. But it did not frighten or repel with ugliness. Rather, on the contrary. It charmed and lured with its mystery, chilling calmness, otherworldly beauty. “Who are you…” Master Uthar could only whisper.

Ida’s survival instinct almost failed her, as she initially didn't fully grasp the danger of the situation she found herself in while examining the artifact. But when the substance attacked the unknown swordsman, Ida recoiled and instantly hid behind Utar. The girl barely managed to restrain the urge to run away, preferring to stay close to someone stronger.
