Alright. Next up. Picking up the largest piece of debris that she could handle with her lithe frame, she tossed it at the fan and grinned wide when it jammed and came to a complete stop.

Ow ow ow... that wasn't pleasant at all. Vettey growled to herself, picking herself up immediately and pressing on, wanting to get this over and done with soon.

She was thankful for the goddess' blessings for she made it right to the top without any further mishaps or unfortunate events, wiping the sweat from her brow as she claimed a side blessing for herself for making it through the trial.

Infinite Path behind him, Amity stumbled into the Forge, temporarily overwhelmed by the chaos after the relative calm of the rest of the Spire and the Ruins.
It was a bit of overload--most of his sensory input thus far had been of the sharply physical variety, and while that was here in the heat and the thrum against his eardrums, it was accompanied by too many things to look at and to hear, especially given his new determination to remember everything, to file each experience away for later.
Stumbling through the red-drenched chaos, he made his way for the first room, and was almost immediately assaulted by a rumbling wave of fire and noise that knocked him flat on his back, winding him. The ground was hot and he wanted off of it, but in his blind haste to claw back to his feet he was clocked hard on the head by some unseen projectile.
Throwing his hands over his head, he scrambled for the relative safety (he thought) of the next room.

Initially there was just relief. The cool air was soothing for a fraction of a second, and then rapidly set his teeth to chattering. Shivering, he realized he had to destroy the fan. He tried to close the distance despite the jaw-aching cold that got more intense the closer he approached, and fired a few useless shots in the meantime. Damn guns. For once he was wishing he had something with some heft to it.

Everything seemed to slow down dramatically. His hands were numb and shaking, and therefore useless, and the closing of the space took all his effort. Why was it so cold? One fan should not make things so cold, especially in a room sitting directly atop molten stone.
He wrapped his arms around himself and closed in.

There. He was at least next to it, now. With cold-numb arms he tried to break off a piece of esoteric machinery, too ignorant to know what he was doing and too stupid with pain to stop and think and plan.

He had no idea what he was doing. He started to open his mouth to say something sarcastic to no one in particular, but his lips were blue from cold and refused to cooperate.

Something snapped off, and the entire contraption gave a shudder that, he thought, maybe, maybe, slowed the whirling blades a little. But it didn't last.

He paused with bleary eyes to look down the length of the thing, and saw not too far away another twisted piece of metal that looked remarkably like the one he'd just snapped off. He fumbled towards it, shivering violently, and when it broke off in his fingers he was relieved to find that he hadn't just imagined it: there was a definite hesitation.

OK. So just find more of those. He could do that. Another slow, painful crawl along the face of the machine, another numb-fingered grip and snap. Another promising but distressingly non-final shudder.

This time, when he completed the seemingly-endless frigid sojourn and yanked the piece free, the whirring definitely slowed. Maybe it was the delirium of hope, but it seemed very much as though the room got warmer.

One more. The promise of finally stopping the damned thing so he could explore long enough to find a way out propelled him forward, and he sagged with almost tearful relief when the blades slowed to a painfully-gradual halt. He stood shuddering and shaking in the abruptly-still air, hands wrapped around his upper arms and eyes shut tight; lips numb and feet aching.
Now. Now he had time to look. How to get out of here?

After the pain of the cold he could have done anything. He found the way to the generator, safe to crawl through now that the relentless blasts of frigid air had ceased, and he felt somehow that heat was better than cold.
He barely noticed the hot metal that nearly blistered his palms. It was only a relief. He would have laid down on it and soaked it up if he could, but after a cursory pause to commit the sight to memory he only struggled on. This place was too harsh, too cruel. He just wanted out.
He knew what would be at the top. He barely registered it. He just took one in his tired hand, and started the slow crawl back.
Maybe later he'd find out that collecting all these things was just a useless goal. Maybe he'd stand up with them all having passed through his shaking skinny hands and it would be the most hopelessly Pyrrhic of victories. Maybe they, too, would be snatched away from him like his memories. But he didn't know what else to do. Maybe it was impossible to exist without a little--just a little--blind faith. Even for someone like Amity.

Having not been to this area before, Annabell was initially put off by how warm it was. But if it meant blessings... She was even more put off by being on the receiving end of thrown objects, but she managed to miss most of them. Whew!
