Vrestin risks exposure to contact Menoptra

The larvae gun is referenced as a critical weakness in the Menoptra’s defense, its vulnerability to the Zarbi’s forces a point of contention between Vrestin and Hrostar. Though unseen, its mention looms large in the group’s deliberations, symbolizing their precarious position. Hrostar’s concern about its strength—or lack thereof—highlights the group’s dwindling options, as even their primary weapon may not be enough to fend off the Zarbi’s assault.

Before: Unseen but implied to be present in the cave, its effectiveness questioned by Hrostar as a potential failing point in their defense.
After: Still unseen but now explicitly acknowledged as a liability. Its mention reinforces the group’s desperation, as they grapple with the reality that their weapons may not save them.
