Thomni's Incense Burner

The incense burner is transformed from a mundane ritual object into a makeshift weapon, its primary function—burning incense to create a sacred atmosphere—repurposed for survival. Thomni wields it with force, swinging it directly at the Yeti’s head. The impact is twofold: the physical blow stuns the creature momentarily, while the thick, acrid smoke billowing from the burner disorients its sensors. This dual effect buys Victoria critical time to escape, and it also reveals a tactical insight—the Yeti’s reliance on mechanical senses can be exploited. The object’s involvement is pivotal, as it not only saves Victoria but also foreshadows the Doctor’s later strategy to disable the Yeti by targeting their sensory systems.
