She looked startled at the ghoul's apology, and was quick to hold her hands up in front of herself. "N...no, not at all!" She tried to reassure her, shaking her head, "No need to apologize! And--ah, I'm Xiuying, by the way!"
But enough of that for now. After taking a break at the fountain, she knew it was time to proceed through the hallway. One would think that after three previous attempts, Xiu would have an idea of where each trigger to each trap was...or at least, a hunch on where the good majority of their locations were. Unfortunately, that was obviously not the case as the baku proceeded to make her way through.
By the end of it, she was singed, slightly cut up, and her dress was shredded in a few places, but at least she was alive.

Taking Agsil's offering hand she hoisted him back onto his bony feet and to the greeting of warm faces and congratulations all around. "I was sleuthing" he corrected her, the fully exposed set of teeth facing her on his right side made a smirk unnecessary.
Aiden? Aiden -- he gathered from the bits of conversation during their short encounter--- gave him a welcomed pat on the back. He smiled showing way more much teeth than socially acceptable. He nodded at the other ghoul, Nkosazana as with his other comrades, and gathered up the loot that remained. A small tinge of pride flowing though his broken frame.
This... did not look fun. Aiden looked around at the hall and the traps with a hesitant look but took a breath. Right, he could do this. He ended up getting grazed by an arrow, got a cut by a hidden blade on his arm, getting tripped and barely avoided getting his head cut off but now had a gash on one cheek.

The refreshing beverage was nice, and it made her feel rather ... reenergized. She hoped this would be available in every room.
Unfortunately, it didn't seem like the break would last. All she saw when she looked ahead was a bunch of terrifying gizmos she was going to have to dart her way around... As much as Nkosazana would rather stay put, she advanced ahead, hoping that she was fairly efficient with her dodging tactics.
Unfortunately she did not seem to be terribly efficient. Ow.

Buzzsaws, swinging blades, moving walls of spikes. What was this all for again? Cringing slightly he stepped into the sick menagerie of sharp and painful traps hoping and praying his sandbag limbs would not fail him this one time.
He managed to edge past the floor of thrusting spikes only to get nicked by a swinging blade from above cutting into the fibers on his exposed shoulder. Again and again blades, maces and flying spring loaded daggers became too quick for the staggering zombie to avoid completely.
He dragged himself out of the trapped filled horror zone with no less than a one painful gash across each limb.

Another trap. Another slice on her thigh. This one was pretty deep. She wasn't sure she could just... keep back the flow. Another step, another trap. This one carved into her side, just under her ribs. Snarling, she wrapped her tunic tighter around her middle, hoping the cloth would sop away most of the ink.
Her mind sort of went blank next.
CRUNCH
She... forgot. Something. Something with furry ears and tails and she'd asked someone to keep an eye on him. Tav--
CRUNCH
Agsilved felt ink dripping from her mouth. She ached. She wasn't sure how she was still standing. But she was. Somehow. Her tunic was quickly ripped to shreds and used to bind up her various wounds. She was still standing.... trudging forward, it was suddenly the very least she could ask for, she realized.

Aiden had a really bad feeling about this room. The rock exploding in fire did not inspire confidence. A few hits to his body later and a few heals as well, he found his self completely healed by the end of it.

Despite how much that had hurt, she at least made it out of that terrible room in one piece.
She was not so sure she could say the same for this room. Nkosazana gulped, crossing her fingers. This was going to be difficult, she could tell already. The burning pillar of flame in response to one of the things flicked did not make her confident.
Ow, that hurt ... she felt like something left her, but she couldn't place it now...
At least she felt a ... little bit better.

Tried as he could, he mangaged to avoid many of the tiles ill effects. But it was not enough. Two passes through a wall of flame was all that was required to take him down.
As his life force was fading he staggered, about to fall when one of the shadowy companions leaped in front of him, catching fire and fading into nothingness. He had sacrificed himself so Chains could live on, his life force imbued inside him. Gratefully he lifted himself off the tiled room and into the battles ahead.

Xiu hated this part...and for good reason as well.
There was also that inevitable guilt that came with being saved.

Aiden looked around the room before an armored figure joined them. He got a grin on his face then charged in, swinging his staff at it and getting a good hit in.

Not necessarily worse for wear, Nkosazana was ... not necessarily pleased either with what she saw greeting her. Really? Again? Another one? Hadn't this gauntlet had enough of wringing them out to dry? She was certain that Agsilved was not doing well for herself, and the half-faced one even had to sacrifice one of their companions to get along.
Well. Maybe if they just blasted the enemy with as many attacks as possible, it would just ... die quickly. That would be awesome. Nkosazana wielded her weapon and swung.
