Well, there was good news and bad news. The good news was Miles seems to have somehow simultaneously defeated his own clone and cured himself of poison, however, the bad news was the fact that I had to take on a clone of myself in the condition that the team attack left me in. For some reason, Celes wasn't nearly as tired as I was, but I guess I could chalk that up to myself being poisoned, rather than actually exerting myself more than she did. I could barely move, and breathing was even getting a little difficult for me while my clone edged closer with a sinister looking smile on his face, as if he was going to finish me off right here and now... and there wasn't much I could do about it. Heck, I could almost hear the announcer from Mortal Kombat shouting 'Finish him!' in my head as my clone laughed. [i]Ugh... there's nothing I can do right now... he's got the same strengths as I do. Maybe... just maybe... he's also got the same weaknesses![/i] I think as I struggle to get up. I then manage to shout "Miles! I need to borrow your sword for a while!" I was no swordsman, but this seemed like the only way to possibly beat the clone, given that Elena was busy with her own clone and Miles... well, he might be able to use his swords, but I wasn't too sure about his own resistances... I mean, I was certain that I couldn't be hurt by fire or lightning, but I wasn't so sure that Miles was as resistant as I was in that regard.

I notice some indescribable shape from the corner of my eye just before I hear Ralph say "Sorry, I thought I saw something," [i]Maybe that's something we could do before Connor and Val wake up.[/i] I think as I say "You're not the only one who saw that, Ralph. Maybe we could check out what that was... I mean, it would give us something to do before the others wake up," I then look around the area, trying to find anything that could have made that shadow, or that movement. I unfortunately find nothing of the sort, and decide to head out of the cave to look around some more. It was odd seeing some trees that weren't dead or covered in dust at this point, but it did give a sort of more 'alive' feel to the area around the cave. I then call out "Hello, Anyone out here?" In an attempt to get whatever was out here to either attack, or reveal itself. If the thing was going to attack and Ralph and I couldn't fend it off, we could always try to wake up Connor... besides, it would be better to fight the thing out here than inside our own home base. For all we know, the thing could have been planning to destroy the cave after sneaking in there without our notice... it might not even be that hard to do, as all they'd have to do would be to trigger a cave-in... then we'd be back to square one, probably with reduced morale, and even less people to help us out.
