Flydra Dromen HP: 9/40 (lusus) Damage: 2 Direction: Down 1 damage each roll after until a support power is used on you.
"Where's Scorpa?" It was the first thing she noticed. Austri skipped along like her usual self, undisturbed by the danger they were in, while Lorata took the situation on with a little more seriousness. But there was a loud and brash personality missing and the nurse frowned. Scorpa was quick to stomp off when she was angry but Flydra had thought the yellowblood would come back immediately since they were in a fairly bad place right now. Should they go back for her? Or wait here? Or would it be better to keep moving forward?
While she pondered this, a droid grabbed at her ankle and she wordlessly kicked at it with an angered look in her eyes. Didn't these freaks realize she was busy? The tealblood didn't need these garbage machines bothering her when someone was missing. The droid shrieked and suddenly blossomed into life, rising into the air and buzzing around with razor blades uncomfortably close to her face.
"Hydraddy, crush them." Burying her face into her lusus's back, the girl clung to her parent miserably. This wasn't fun anymore. Scorpa was missing and things were starting to hurt. When were they going to get to the good part- dismantling a bomb and admiring its parts?

Health: 1 (Zapped!) (Razors!) Defensive B Trinket: ACTIVE Support A Artefact: 1/1
Once the rest of the group had passed through, Ephias stepped aside to take a breather. His vision was swimming from pain and weariness. To go on ahead in his current condition would be reckless. Yet he was in too deep to turn back; many of the traps were still active as far as he knew. For a moment, he considered their endeavour. Foolish to say the least. Where were the blue prints? The planning materials? There should have been no reason for them to rush into this, blind.
Hands braced on his knees, Ephias closed his eyes and steadied himself. Now was not the time to ask questions. He needed to focus. Take deep breaths, nice and slow. That's right. In through the nose and out through the mouth. In... and out.
Something clamped onto his foot. Ephias opened his eyes. s**t.

Scorpa Devile HP: 14/40 (lusus) (was 1, now 2 ongoing until support is used from now on) Damage: 3 Direction: Right If you rolled a 1, the pile rustles, then scatters. Small blue LEDs in their beady eyes turn red as they lock onto you, and begin to pursue you with villainous intent. One may be easy to fend off, but these roach-like bots with their tiny grippers and saws can do heavy damage quickly in numbers! Take 3 dmg, and 2 damage each roll until a support power is used on you.
"Hey-" Finally out of her internal fuming, Scorpa turned around to talk with her sirens when she realized- she was alone. When had that happened? Confused, the yellowblood felt her bilesack tighten. Tense and irritated, she immediately blamed the redblood from earlier for this. He'd distracted her and now she'd gotten separated because she'd been trying to find a way to one-up him! Damn him! Normally she would've blamed Austri but the chance to pin it on a lower blood than her was too enticing for Scorpa. But now the real question was where to go next? It didn't appear anyone had left a trail.
Then there was a blur of motion and sound beside her and Scorpa was assaulted. Snarling in rage, the girl began to run while trying to knock the bots off of her. It hurt, she couldn't lie. The little metal pincers and blades cut into her easily, causing Prada to actually become alarmed. Her lusus was not one prone to helping out unless absolutely neccessary. It scared Scorpa to see Prada begin to pay attention. Was it really that serious? A small part of her also cherished the moment- the incredibly brief flicker of what she decided to interpret as affection. She could not disappoint her mother now.
"Pest." Kicking one of the bots off and stepping on it with a lot of force, she listened for a satisfying crunch. Scorpa glared down at the rest to show off a little and then continued on her way- running and tearing the machines off of her. She had a lot of ground to make up!
"I'll find you!"

Nucleo Glatte HP: 2/20 (1 damage each roll after until a support power is used on you.) Damage: 4 Direction: Right If you rolled a 6, you alert the bots but manage to fend them off valiantly for your team! Breaking off the sounding alarm of one of them seems to jam their systems, and as they buzz around in violent confusion you bat some of them out of the air. Take 2 dmg. Your attack does double damage.
"How many more of you are there?!" Nucleo clutched his head at the sight of even more troll bots. With a groan, he began the approach and hoped he'd make it out with all of his hair intact. The other route looked improbably so he had to go this way. He only hoped Amonee had managed to avoid the bots somehow, even though logic pointed out that the painter was probably facing worse. Just how many traps had they prepared in this crazy maze? Who'd given permission for all of these things to be built? Is this what all of those papers he'd signed created? This and a headache?
"Wait-" A flash of pink in the distance caught his eye. Could it be?
Amonee slipped past the droids fairly easily, luring a few minor ones to an emptier place and clubbing them into disrepair. Violence was not really his thing but he'd had to keep himself safe. But it had been a bust, there was still no sight of his partner.
'Where are you?'
He'd searched every inch of the corridor but hadn't found anything. Amonee sank to the floor in a defeated mess. Nucleo was gone. Had it been a clone? Or had something happened to the main troll himself? Fear and panic flooded through him and Amonee couldn't stop the tears from forming in the corners of his eyes. What was he going go tell Xavier? What was he going to tell Elidae?
Footsteps approached and he whirled towards them with a mix of anxiety and hope. Was it more droids? Or an ally?
"It's you-" He broke into a run, grabbing the stockier boy in a tight embrace and refusing to let go for a few seconds. A joyous and relieved kiss was planted on Nucleo's cheek before Amonee pulled back with flushed cheeks. He wiped at his eyes and tried to calm his heartbeat. They needed to keep moving but he couldn't help but take a moment to be thankful that his dear friend had returned to him alive.
There was another chance to take out a camera. She saw it, sitting with a blinking red light staring at her like a featherbeast. Just out of reach, but she could get it, certainly. She narrowed her eyes, calculating the distance. She made a running start and tried to swing at it, and missed. It really was too far out of reach for her fists.

Aandes goes Right! Because it hasn't wronged him before. ya-ta-ta!
His bloodpusher was thumping wildly. There was no doubt about it now: he had to get out of here. Any notion of being a hero, collecting information or hell - defusing some kind of BOMB was a ridiculous farce now. Time to go. Unfortunately, the path of the greenblood was blocked by a dangerous looking pile of bots. He suffered some damage on his way, but it could have been worse.
Deals 3 damage!

Nucleo Glatte HP: 2/20 (1 damage each roll after until a support power is used on you. (but this is not a roll)) Damage: Direction: N/A Nucleo uses his support type A trinket on Amonee! +10 hp
"Are you okay?" Looking into Amonee's face, Nucleo felt himself boil over with worry and relief. He looked in one piece, so that was good. His dress looked ripped and his face covered in soot, however. They'd all been burned, Nucleo supposed. On that note, perhaps he had something in his pockets that might help.
"Here, it's not much but... it should make you feel better." Treating some of the small wounds, Nucleo took a moment to give the jadeblood a little medical attention. They couldn't take too long, however! Putting the supplies back in his pockets, the greenblood let out a happy breath. Now that they were back together, things were going to be okay again!

Amonee Brycer HP: 4/20 Damage: 5 Direction: Right Amonee heals Nucleo with a novice style A trinket!
"You're hurt- hold on!" In his excitement over their reunion, Amonee had overlooked Nucleo's injuries. The other greenblood was the type to keep pushing past his limits so the painter knew he needed to step in before the barista fell off another cliff, so to speak. Taking one of Nucleo's arms, he wrapped bandages around the vulnerable parts to stop any blood coming from their encounters with lasers and razor blades.
"I'm not leaving you behind again. I'm... so sorry about that. We have to get back to Busthind together and safe, right?" He still felt a huge cloud of guilt hanging over his head. How could he have lost sight of his friend? They were supposed to watch each other's backs. Xavier was still in Chittentown (hopefully safer than they were) and he would be devastated if one of them didn't return. Taking Nucleo's hand, Amonee continued forward. The contact comforted and soothed his panicked nerves and he hoped it would help keep the two of them from losing each other again.
Eostre took a breath, holding it for a moment. She could try again. The camera was there, taunting her with its innocuous lights. Watching her. She tried to scale the wall again, her fingertips brushing against it. Almost. If she could grab onto it, she could easily tear it out of the wall.
One more try. Eostre ran and jumped at the wall, this time expending just a tiny bit more effort than before. It was enough that she could grab onto the camera. She pulled down with all her strength, and took the camera down with her, back to the floor of the hallway. She laid on the ground for a moment, the camera in her hand. She got it! She threw it aside and stood, ready to crush it beneath her foot. It wasn't enough that it was disconnected, she wanted it to be destroyed. She pressed down with all her weight and broke the camera underfoot.

Psykgi had been trying to keep up with Chiara. Since they were allies, it would be good to keep the blueblood directed. However, in the chaos of group movement (and it was a large group), they had somehow ended up in different corridors. Psykgi hoped that that wouldn't come to bite either of them in the a**.
Speaking of biting and a**...
She turned to face the droids following her, bashing them down with her axe. The blows were satisfying in a very primal way, as were the sounds of crashing and shorting electronics. It was getting a little tiring swinging her axe around, though - she rarely used it for long stretches of time, after all. Ah, well, hopefully it would be over soonish.

Healing Ephias for 10!!!
As Psykgi rejoined the group, however, she noticed that the nerdy redblood from before - whose name she wasn't sure she'd caught - was starting to lag. He seemed capable and smart, and that was needed just as much as vim and brawn. Of course, she would know that - brains were her main strength, and that wasn't a pun on her job. "Gosh..." she managed. She was flagging too, a little. This tower was quite a slog - it really made one appreciate elevators and transportation. "Y-you know, I never caught your name. I think I gave mine, but, well, I've been giving out mine to a lot of trolls today. With all this other stuff... gosh, you just lose track!" In more ways than one - the corridors were eerily the same. In future building, she was going to recommend motivational and inspiring wall decorations to help differentiate places and improve the... monotony. "Anyway, here - You seem like a capable and intelligent sort of troll!" She thought she might have seen him around the dome doing appropriately science-y things. It was hard to say, though his horns were distinctive. "The group will probably need you when we get to whatever is involved here, so..." she offered him her medical item. "Here. It's down to it's last use, but it will pick you right up." she gave him a weary smile, "Okay?"

ROUND 9 A large, multifaceted window gives you a view stretching out over the city, getting close allows you to see the trolls gathered below, now a shapeless blobby mass of grey and black. A few of the pains have yet to be fitted in, and a breeze lifts small strands of hair off your face, bringing in the smell of the world outside. It fills you with DETERMINATION vigour.
All trolls who have used their previous second wind gain another.
Locations Italicized direction is the one that trolls arrived from.

Boss Attack
As you walk down the corridor, red lights follow you as cameras swing in your direction on the wall. Suddenly a laser grid snaps on in front and behind of you, red beams crisscrossing in an attempt to block your path. At the end of the path, more cameras watch. If you can damage the video surveillance equipment, the ai might have a harder time keeping track of where you are.
If you rolled a 1, you trip and fall wildly as you try to pass through the beams. Thankfully, the lasers don't have enough power to cut, but they do have enough to burn. Take 5 dmg.
If you rolled a 2, you inch through the lasers, sticking close to the wall to see where they emit. When your foot catches a loose tile on the floor, you grab the wall to steady yourself and don't hit /too/ many lasers. Take 4 dmg.
If you rolled a 3, you raise your leg to climb over a beam. The beam raises with your foot. Quickly, you leap over it in time, but catch your leg on the beam. Ow! Take 3 dmg.
If you rolled a 4, you can a camera at the far end swiveling and turning to follow your every move As you bend to ease under a laser, the beam suddenly drops down to your height, singing you. Take 3 dmg.
If you rolled a 5, you get down on your stomach and crawl under the lasers. When you climb out on the other side, you catch sight of your burned hair and horns in a shiney wall panel and blanch. Take 2 dmg.
If you rolled a 6, you leap and tumble and get through the lasers, breathing heavily and bruised, but unburned. Take 2 dmg.

Health: 9 Defensive B Trinket: 0/1 Support A Artefact: 1/1
Ephias was grateful for the medical help from the fellow redblood, if not a little uncomfortable. “Thanks,” he muttered as she finished. He eyed her warily from behind his cracked visor. She looked just as rundown as he felt. Something stirred within him. It would be so easy to keep going and leave her to her fate. Their alliance was only temporary after all. She could very well be just another troll he would have to kill further down the road. He owed her absolutely nothing.
“Wait,” Ephias said. He pulled up his sleeve to reveal his armband. He had not yet become that cold. “Hold still.”
