Now that Maku had snapped out of the whole... DESTROY THE MACHINES... state he'd been in, the treebeast currently understood the value of stealth when faced with the construction droids. He moved as quietly as he was able - that is, the creaking and groaning of a quiet wood. Unfortunately, the sounds of peace in the forest were not the sounds of peace in the bowels of the machine, and one of the droids roused from it's slumber, brandishing something that glowed and shimmered with heat.
Stealth no longer an option, Maku surged forward, hoping to outrun the tenacious creature.
Still trying to process the information relayed to him, Leeroi was having a difficult time focusing on the robotic troubles in front of him. He took a wide swing with his robot fist, and no sooner had he realized his mistake, the arm responded with an explosive spark and a swing in the opposite direction. Fist colliding with what was surely a concrete pillar, Leeroi reeled in an attempt to right himself.
"No... no..." He complained. All of his hard work, a second arm gone. He almost wished he had been carrying a spare, of that he equipped himself with the simpler model. Then he wouldn't have lost his beautiful precious muscle arm. He'd probably have to work from scratch on a third one, at this point.

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.

The hallway seemed clear, but clear or not, Maku would continue forward. He had to, even though the treebeast perhaps knew better. Cameras tracked his movements as he lumbered down the hall, which Maku ignored. It was hard to move, and he had to focus.
Maku staggered as beams came up to meet him. Over and over again, they did, the malicious AI seeming to target the big slow-moving tree as he struggled on. But he did it - Maku did it. He did the best he could with what he had. He kept going, a determined look seemingly chiseled into his woody face.
Rastin woke from what had probably been a short nap and found himself several levels down from where he had been before. He squinted, his gaze pinned on a hole just large enough for himself to fit into carved into the ceiling and nudged himself into a sitting position. The last thing he remembered before passing out was laying down, how had he managed to get up, without being conscious about it, and fall through that hole to get back down here? He scratched his head trying to figure it out.
"... Well, now that I've had that nap," He muttered, grunting as he rose to his feet. "It's about time I figured out where the hell I am and got back to where I was before."
He hoped that he would be able to see Mahmud or Sephos on his way through the maze, but if he didn't, he'd scoop them up once this was all over. It didn't matter when at the moment, just as long as they were both okay when they made it out. All he wanted was to see them both alive again.
HP: 10/20 (HE'S BACK AWWW YISS) + 10 HP (4 = +10 HP) Rastin CONTINUES ON!
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.
Momentarily hyped up on the fight and too glad of the distraction from the pain of her wounds to want to let that go, Etsali was not cautious at all about moving on towards the next hallway. The droids had all been dealt with pretty well, she thought, everyone attacking with all they had, and she was sure the next obstacle would prove to be just as overcomeable. And as she rounded the corner, she found it was something they'd all seen before already. The lasers! The thief lagged for just a moment, eyes darting through to measure up the best path through, and then she launched herself forward to follow it. As she approached, a laser shifted, and in her hurry to adjust for the change, she stumbled and fell right through all of them. Immediately burning, she yelped and tried to scramble through.

Ri is attacking and going LEFT
The witchling was starting to get aggravated with this game. A little too headstrong she urged Crowma to rush through the next room, hoping if they were quick enough they could avoid danger. They were not. Crowma got a wing caught in the various protruding mechanical equipment and went tumbling through a laser grid. The whole display sounded like a tree falling in the forest. Which was in fact Crowma chastising her ward for insisting on more reckless behavior. Taking chances was good, becoming reckless is what got you killed. She shoved the laser burns across her branches in Rianon's face to prove her point.

"It's not about that!" she said, mortified. "Every step of the way I've been working on this, there have been doubts and disbelief from others. I haven't...known you well enough personally to gauge if you would write it off or believe me! I've had a hard time gauging if even close friends of mine would accept any of it. It's been so much pressure, and it's my responsibility." She was in charge of the teams, she was ground control. The adults were off and away, Panili wasn't allowed to be involved. She was the point of contact! "You have to understand. It's not you, and I'm sorry. It's not you or your personality or any of my opinions on it, it's just the lack of connection between us before now. I just- I just didn't want to look like an idiot! Not to you, not to the authorities, or anyone else." It didn't matter if she was right. Without enough concrete evidence, she knew how easy it would be for someone to write her off. If Eridia could do it, so could others. She had to be careful.
"And I refuse to believe it's irrelevant, or why bother saying anything? There has got to be a chance left." There were still pieces to the puzzle, and she would either die with them or get them solved. "You can still help, we can still do something."
Unfortunately, she was barely mobile as it was, and had little chance to get through the lasers without getting caught in them. Mera elected to just wince and get through it, hoping they at least would leave her hair untouched.
Rastin Morden is ATTACKING and going UP. 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 shiny wall panel and blanch. Take 2 dmg.
The path Rastin was taking now seemed fairly familiar, but he wasn't about to let himself trust it. Everything was a trap here, from the ceiling to the corners in the floor, he was assured of that. He had to be cautious and not let anything catch him off guard, even if it meant being a little spontaneous.
Lasers darting around him came as no surprise now and, after a quick check of the ceiling above him for steaming hot grids, flopped onto his stomach and wiggled beneath them to the other side. The journey did seem a little too easy and smooth, though, and the damage done revealed itself in the form of his horns looking about two shades darker and his hair singed on all sides. However, instead of pausing and letting himself be horrified, the teenager hopped to his feet and ran straight forward. He had no time to fuss over his appearance! He had to catch up with everyone else!
"It's not irrelevant as information— it's," Leeroi paused, dragging a hand down his face in frustration. He struggled to put his thoughts into words. "It's only making you worry more!"
He gestured to all of Hemera, blubbering a bit before speaking. "I mean, look at yourself— you're falling apart at the seams because of it!" Trying to talk to Hemera and dodge the lasers was proving tricky, but he certainly was doing a better job than her. Making his way to the end, he stopped and pulled Mera aside, holding her by the shoulder.
"Here's my advice. Think of what's in front of you and nothing else." He closed in, eyes narrowing, "Stopping that bomb is your end goal. It motivates you, it doesn't scare you." Tapping her chest, he spoke loud and clear.

Luxara stopped by the window quick. Dang, were they high up! Again, the trap door idea. S p l a t. And so many trolls were down there, waiting. Hoping for the best. Not her people, but even so. They didn't mean to get caught up in this nonsense anymore than anyone else. If they were holding out, they deserved her efforts. Some of them, anyway. And the breeze...and the smell of the outside world... Yeah, she'd feel that again after this. Absolutely.
She continued on, after a moment, into the next room. Movement, up above! Luxara looked up, squinting at the cameras. They followed her movement, the advanced s.o.b.s. And then, lasers! Down the way! After a couple of tests, it looked like they responded to troll movement. Hmm.
The greenblood pulled down her crossbow. Take down some of the eyes, then go through the lasers. Sounded like a good plan to her!
Lanata alerted Poe to the camera following him. He thought he could avoid the view of the camera by ducking low, and crawl under the beam, but it still spotted him! When he moved under the beam, it lowered and singed his false horns and a bit of his loose hair. A real close one! Lanata, on the other hand, had a bit more burned wool than he did, and sort of smelled weird. He scrunched up his sniffnode, and pushed her to keep moving. He didn't want to get left behind. He didn't want to lose track of his friends.
Poe dealt 3 damage to the Defense AI He is going LEFT!
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.
Forera dealt 8 damage. Forera travels LEFT!
The next corridor they stumbled upon left Forera quite baffled-- They couldn't think up of more ways to stop trolls? Then again, they'd managed to hit them for pretty bad, which was impressive. Trying to get through the lasers carefully, she felt a little dumb doing this, but still managed, trying at a certain level, certain-- "HOLY--!" Forera cursed, beginning to fall and feel Pain all over her body. This was just great.

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.
Kolako dealt 2 damage. Kolako is moving LEFT.
With an aggravated click of her tongue, the exhausted brownblood followed after the two higher-blooded trolls, and in hearing them bicker, felt her frown only grow more. While she understood that Leeroi was only trying to motivate Hemera, the brownblood felt like they could be using that energy for better purposes. As she leapt over a few beams, the brownblood winced as she just barely slipped through them, panting. "OO-KAY." Kolako exclaimed, breathless, tugging at the pants of both their jumpsuits with a huff-- "Yo creo que ya-- Ergh... I think now, we should just-- Continue. Walking. Now!" Kolako exclaimed-- "This is only stopping us, and we..." Kolako took a moment to breathe-- "Need to keep moving!" Kolako exclaimed, pulling on their pants a little firmer before letting go and moving on ahead, annoyed at her lack of strength. Papion hurried toward her, offering her support with a leg. She seemed almost ready to head back, he was sure...
