Description

These k'thir have been hiding among us, sowing the seeds of their dark masters with us none the wiser.

With the barrier around the Abyssal Melody lowered I can peer within; its bowels toil with my own people giving themselves to the shadow!

Take my tidal kris; its blade is now coated in purified tideblood. Put an end to these fiends and their foul rituals.

Not completely fixed yet. The Kris works on some of its intended targets and not others; the fail rate is about 20-30% but their attendant mobs all work. LoS issues are still there as of today although you can usually deal with them by getting up close and personal with the mob, assuming you want to.
