He entered the hallway again and looked around warily. Horace steadied himself against the wall, fingers sliding on glass. What if something happned to Micah while he wasn't there? A trainee - alone, dragged into this s**t by a foolhardy idiot one rank above him. He was stupid. Stamina: 10 Quote: Roll 26-50: You are entranced by your own reflection in a nearby mirror. A whispering runs through your mind, full of all your doubts and fears and-- you snap out of it. Keep rolling, and subtract 1 Stamina.

The hallways lightened and Horace rushed forward, hoping for that now familiar sweep of stairs. It rose above him in all it's fragile, assholish glory. He expelled a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. "Hey, you... you better not have left me behind," he called out from cupped hands. Horace was a little worse for wear; there was a twig caught in his hair. Stamina: 10 Quote: Roll 71-100: You manage to make it through the hall of mirrors unscathed. Continue to Round 3.

"This ******** place," Micah yelled back, grumpily.

"Oh good, you're still here," Horace said cheekily. He nimbly climbed a few steps before stopping and swaying slightly as the stair case seemed to rumble. "I really wish this thing had handles." Stamina: 9 Steps: 8 Quote: Roll 7-10: Nothing happens. Subtract 1 Stamina.

"Or an escalator," Micah grumbled, making his way up a few more steps. The hand that shot out of the wall seemed to be made of stone, and it locked painfully tight around his ankle. He yelled and kicked, summoning Nova in the same breath to lash at the wrist. He didn't know what made it let go, but when it did, it retracted as quickly as it had appeared, vanishing back into what seemed to be a solid wall. "What the ********," Micah said, and stabilized himself on the next step up. "Watch out, it grabbed me!" Stamina: 17 Steps: 22/25 HP: 35/40 Quote: Roll 6: -5 HP. A vicious hand wraps around your ankle, cutting into your flesh. Subtract 2 Stamina.

"Was that a goddamned hand?" Horace inched up a few more steps. Looking around, he decided to summon Jannisari, just in case. Her purple runes looked weird in the reflections of broken glass.

"It was a hand - " Micah was cut off as several hands shot out of the wall and dragged him straight into it, the wall opening to swallow him up. Stamina: 17 Steps: 22/25 HP: 35/40 Quote: Roll 4: Instant death for you. Return to Round 1, reroll stamina, and proceed.

Micah was deposited back in the courtyard. The trip had been dark, muzzy, and confusing, not the same as the previous fall, and he wasn't entirely sure how he'd gotten back here.

"Micah!" Horace darted forward, only to nearly slip on a pile of glass shards. He caught himself against the wall and, in that moment, Micah was gone. Carefully, he sat down and began the cold sweat of waiting.
"A hands - that was a ******** bunch of hands," he muttered.

The castle seemed determined to eject them without what they were searching for. However, that just made Micah all the more determined not to leave without it. He paused for only a moment, squinting up at the castle and trying to figure out where the tower with the stairs was, then decided that it didn't matter; t his castle wasn't playing by the normal rules of where things went.
He crossed the courtyard and plunged back into the dark doorway.

The corridor led straight onward, a long way, and just as Micah was starting to wonder when he was going to get to the ladder, he saw light ahead. Much to his surprise, though, instead of ending in a chasm and a ladder down, the hallway simply ended in the stair chamber. "It let me back in," he called up the stairs, sounding rather nonplussed. Stamina: 27 HP: 35/40 Quote: Roll 71-100: You manage to make it through the hall of mirrors unscathed. Continue to Round 3.

"T-that... that was quick," Horace said, surprised. He ran a critical eye over Micah, but could see nothing overt, injury-wise. "I think it likes you, it keeps touching you." Glass crunched under his shoes as he climbed and he thanked every shoe salesperson ever that his shoes had thick soles. They were probably not the right people, exactly, to mentally thank, but it had been a tiring day. Horace's mind was a little distracted by potential hands and trapdoors. He clambered up a few more steps before turning around again. He waved at Micah. "Hurry up, but not like, too fast. Just in case of hands." Although watching Micah get grabbed and hauled off by a lot of hands was certainly nerve-wracking, Horace would never admit it, Plus, it was good for later jokes about the castle being 'handsy'. Stamina: 7 Steps: 25 prolixity Horace can wait biggrin and shout encouragemnet at Micah or whatever.

"That's kind of disturbing." Micah started up the stairs again. He hadn't gotten more than a few steps before the hands shot out, grabbed him, and dragged him sideways and down.
