The Kaernk is climbing stairs

Be careful that it won't get unfair for the player

Oh the poor player D: of course I'll be careful

It takes rather unique circumstances for the kaernk in the water to actually get onto the platforms; it has to be lined up with the stairs at exactly the right angle and it's a hallucination so it's rather hard to have it running parallel to the stairs no matter what (I only managed to get it to come onto the stairs three times out of the ten tests I did).

The other idea I was thinking of was actually creating a "ghost" - replacing the water particles with dust particles, splashes with footsteps, and having it be able to chase the player on land. I'll probably fall through on it though being a script nublette and what-not
