Eventually Dawson made a long, low, and weary noise in his throat as he got up from the last toss. His head spun and the adventure had long since lost its charm. Looked like this time he just really was shitty.
"Nnnng...Y'know what, let's take a day break," he told Maebe as he pulled himself from the mud, not bothering to wipe it off as he turned back towards the entrance. "Getcha some rest, Mayb."
Stamina: 3 (cannot move on)

From start to finish, this attempt had been bearing down on Dawson's normally cheerful attitude, and Maebe had sensed it for every step. She reached out and put her hand on his shoulder, pulling him back to look at her. While Maebe's expression was well known for it's flawless mask, she just looked sad now. Genuinely, honestly sad.
"If I had been you." She told him, with a tired and quiet voice. "I would have given up on this a long time ago. But you didn't. To me, that's pretty kickass, too. Just because I've got a lot of aggression to work out on a bunch of statues doesn't mean I should be in Sun, nor does it mean you're not doing awesome. If there's one thing more important than being able to hit a monster hard, it's the endurance to keep fighting even when you probably should give up."
She dropped her hand off his shoulder, and used it to take his hand instead.
"Now we're going to go take a nap, and come back and have some more fun together. And you, Sir Grace, are going to get your artifact thingie."
She shook her head in a single, sage nod, before dragging him hard back towards the entrance.

"Yessum," he said tiredly, incapable of expressing his gratitude for the cheer when he needed it most beyond a little smile and a squeeze of her hand.

Hopefully they were refreshed enough. Today's snacks were Rice Krispies, and dear lord did Medi suddenly crave them.

So much sleep happened. Deep, dreamless sleep, where her mind and body both demanded much of her and of Thaw, until they were both sated. Now that they were back, she felt lethargic and drunk from overcompensating with so much of it, and her yawns continued throughout the trip.
The sight of a big, white marble bull blocking their path did much to wake her the ******** up.

Dawson decided to very very quickly chew and swallow his treat because damn it no bull was going to stop him from doing so. Then he got his weapon out.

Except the bull got to him rather quickly. Dawson dug his feet in and fought not to get pushed over again like he had with the lion, because God help him he couldn't suffer that shameful display of flailing limbs again if Maebe was watching.
He really did try to toss the bull, but it just wasn't working. He did, however, get to treat its head like a baseball and swung hard.

This guy was faster than the rest. Or maybe Dawson was just slower? The bull stampeded past him several times, making unnatural turns that caught the trainee off guard. His shield connected against its stone hide, but he wondered if these things felt any pain at all.

Maebe cheered with perhaps a little too much enthusiasm every time Dawson laid in on the beast. After their last time here, she'd promised herself to be a good little cheerleader, even if it meant taking a little longer bringing down the monster.
Her trident chipped away as it had before, pulling off chunks pretty effectively every time it charged Dawson, and got a solid taste of shield.

It was a slow, but steady plan of attack. It would turn and come for Dawson, and she waited on the side, jumping in to rip and tear a piece of it off as if her trident was a fork and the statue was a delicious, delicious piece of cake.

God, she would have loved some cake right about then.
The hunk that flew off of the beast this time around was large enough to knock her right across her head, dropping her down to her back. That was what she got for dreaming about cake.

Every time she attacked, she left the monster a little more holey. It was beginning to look like swiss cheese, and the wind whistled through some of the deeper holes in it's body.

But as much as she was damaging it, the monster did not look like it was slowing down. It finally turned its attentions to her, and she drove her trident down into its paw even as it used the attack against her, sending her flying away with nothing more than a smack.

Finally, they had worn it down enough to climb up on top of it. Getting up on it was tougher than usual, and Maebe's skin was scraped and torn to leave ghastly red tracks against the pristine white marble wherever she touched it. She drove Thaw into the beast's back, and held on there, craning her head to see Dawson.
"Get it, get it!" She cried out, digging her heels in to hold on.

"GOT IT!" he yelled enthusiastically. Dawson had wisely stayed the heck out of Maebe's way until then, and now in a combination of overeagerness to not suck and even more overeagerness to please her, he swung with the full weight of his body and cleaved through the bull.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he dropped his shield (Syn growled softly) and threw his hand up with the cheer. Then he noticed that Maebe was bleeding way way too much for his tastes and immediately fumbled with the pockets of his backpack to find her some more bandages. More heroes for the warrior princess.
