This is bad for everyone! Nothing quite like the stench of rotten fish and strawberries together with petrichor to make someone feel ill. There's not quite as much sulphur scent right now but that probably wasn't far off. But their assumption that Matilda can change her weapon is as far off as can be. When Matilda tries to get the weapon changed, Cif responds in a panic that the weapon won't change! Oh no!

All at once, the monster lurches and grips Matilda's glaive with more of its arms and it starts pulling itself towards her while pulling the weapon into its mass. It's getting hotter and hotter as it gets closer to her. Come here, Matilda, let the monster boil you!

At least until Zafika's stab happens. The glaive, which the monster notices how similar it is to Matilda's, sinks right into the center of its mass. A moment later there's a gush of horrible sulphur-smelling yellow blood goop. At the same moment, the rest of the monster's hands swing around and grip the weapon where it's stuck inside of its mass. It grips this one, too, holding it and preventing it from coming out.

That's. Not good.
