Scorpa Devile HP: 32/40 (lusus) (1 ongoing until support is used from now on) Damage: 1 (+2 but I forgot to add it too late now) Direction: Up If you rolled a 4, you step onto a green tile, which slides back, revealing the inner workings of the machine, and two large blades that scythe up towards the soles of your shoes. Take 3 dmg, and deal +2 dmg.
"Whoa this is fancy." Scorpa let out a whistle at the bizarre dance floor. She liked all the colors and instantly wanted to cut a rug. Ignoring Austri in the corner, she contemplated what would best dazzle Lorata and keep all of her attention on her. Should she do the electric slide? Nah too hokey. Perhaps the Macarena? No too childish. She needed to show the seadweller that she was cool and just as mature as she was! Or at least better than the snothead with wind.
"Check this out!" Scorpa called out to the other sirens. She stomped deliberately on a green tile to make a statement and then was interrupted from her dance solo as two blades stabbed her in the foot. "Yow!" The yellowblood shrieked before launching back at the machine in anger. She moved quickly enough to grab a hold of part of the mechanism under the floor (revealed by the open tile) and ripped it out. As the blades died, she let out a victory whoop but opted to not continue her dance across the deathly disco floor.
Amonee Brycer HP: 10/20 Damage: 2 Direction: Right
"You as well! Please be careful!" Amonee watched as the blueblooded girl from the Panili meeting called out to Nucleo and stepped closer to talk with him. The jadeblood felt a pang of jealousy but tried to push it down, not sure why the feeling was popping up and bothering him. They had more important problems going on! But he did hope for the girl to survive this and make it out alright. Nobody deserved whatever the antagonists were plotting.
"We'll have to look for her after we get out." They were playing on the same team here and it was important to take care of your allies. Her aggressive nature was a little intimidating but for someone like Amonee who enjoyed attention and socializing, he did like the fact that she seemed to have a lot to say. There was likeable about a confident sassy troll like her.
He stepped on a tile while lost in thought about the interactions between Chiara, Nucleo and himself and yelped in pain as flames immediately shot up his leg and he danced across the rest of the tiles trying to put it out. What the hell had they been building this whole time? He certainly didn't remember adding these parts to the tower.
Had they been building a space elevator or a war tower?

Nucleo Glatte HP: 5/20 Damage: 5 Direction: Right If you rolled a 2, you step on a yellow tile and are promptly thrown off it by the nasty electric jolt it gives you. Your hair is now incredible. Take 4 dmg.
"Huh? Oh, yes!" A voice called to him once they met up with a sizeable group. As a blueblood put a hand on him, Nucleo was surprised by the gesture and accepted her card curiously. Slipping it in his shirt felt a little intimate but he didn't get a chance to protest because now she was grinning and flirting with him and what was going on? Flushing slightly from the unexpected attention, he barely managed to mumble back a response as the group continued moving.
"You too! I'd better see you." What was he doing? The girl had been trouble at the Panili meetings and yet... if she was interested in him maybe he should give it a chance. Glancing down at the colored tiles they approached, the greenblood took a breath. Yellow, green, or blue? Uncertain, he cautiously stepped forward onto the one he was drawn to- and felt a jolt course through him. Cringing as he staggered forth, he wondered if yellow would only continue to lead to pain.
Flydra Dromen HP: 29/40 (lusus) Damage: 2 Direction: Up
"Interesting. They've reprogrammed the-" Flydra stepped closer to inspect the colorful tiles on the floor but bumped her lusus forward onto an unfriendly-looking red tile that burst into a tower of temporary flame. Hydraddy yowled in surprise and pain, galloping to the other side of the room where the beast rolled on the floor to put out the fire. The tealblood plucked her notebook from her bag and began to take notes on which colors resulted in which effects. Weird that the orange one dropped fruit on the other trolls that passed through. Why orange? The red was uselessly destructive while the yellow had a short-lived shock. Hmm...
"I wonder if this is a throwback to the hemospectrum somehow? The colors correspond with..." The others were advancing so Flydra continued across with them while murmuring about her theories. This tower was state of the art and a great chance to see what technology was available. After all, they were the Civisect Sirens with the talented and ambitious seadweller Lorata Gorgos to lead them. They would easily be able to get access to similar items if they wanted, right?

∞ Ephias Sagine
Health: 12 Defensive B Trinket: 1/1 Support A Artefact: 1/1
As their little party continued to flee down the corridor, Ephias watched their rear as promised, going on the attack whenever necessary. Eventually their pursuers fell back behind them until they were out of sight. Maintaining a steady jog, Ephias went to catch up with his teammates.
It turned out to be fortunate (although not wholly unplanned) that they took the lead. As they entered a block with brightly coloured tiles, Ephias got to witness the next stage of the defence system, and what the worst of it could do. Taking care to avoid the more dangerous tiles, he stepped onto a purple coloured plate. A torrent of water cascaded down over his head and he was momentarily forced to his knees, stunned despite bracing himself.
Aandes huffed as he rung out his hair. At least this malfunction was bizarrely whimsical. The real test would be how long he could keep up the pace of running through the facilities before his legs gave out. He looked around for other trolls, hearing crashing in the distance. Yo-Yo now in grip, Aandes plummeted inward.
Chiara is attacking Half-constructed Tower Miss Hp:14/20 Damage Dealt: (+1) 0 Artifact Support B 1/1
Chiara groaned. She was getting sick of this building, these walls, the same painful lasers. It was as if the building was a maze, each wall, floor tile, etc the exact time. The blueblood winced as her arm rubbed the burn on her side. It was getting harder and harder to pretend she was cool and tough, and it showed as she halfheartedly swung her weapon at something or other. The blueblood's eyes wandered as she looked around, really a building like this should have ceiling ducts, or something to find a secret entrance. Chiara eyed the ceiling, and changed her mind. It was kinda an effort to get up there.
HP: 12/20 Military Grade Partisan Support A Trinket: 1/1
If you rolled a 5, you step on a purple tile, and the ceiling above you opens, dumping enough seawater and irate snipperbeasts on you to make you stagger to your knees, spitting water. Thankfully, it also seems to damage the mechanism in the floor, which begins to emit some smoke. Take 3 dmg, and deal +2 dmg.
Lorata had finally gotten the stupid robot off of her leg, just in time to watch Austri stage her own attack, taking out a robot that Scorpa had missed. "Good catch," she praised brightly as she knocked away the robot's head and lead the way to the intersection. Up ahead, there was a larger group of trolls and with a little hm as she glanced them over, she decided her group might as well join them. They could split off later if need be, but this was the way she'd already decided she wanted to go, and a bunch of trolls stealing the idea wasn't going to stop her.
What did give her pause was the blueblood that had apparently worked her way into the crowd as well. Lorata lifted her chin a bit, glancing down at the troll as she said hello. "Chiara," she responded coolly. She wasn't sure if the blueblood had ever learned her lesson, because she hadn't had to deal with her since that night in the water. And really, she knew she ought to be giving her a chance to prove that she had, but Lorata had doubts. And several of those doubts pointed back to the interrogation of a sobbing paparazzi. A blueblood had started the rumor, they'd said.
"I'm a bit busy at the moment." She dismissed with the thought, turning her attention away from Chiara to the next obstacle as the group approached. Colored tiles, hm? Yes, this was several times more important than Chiara. After considering her options, she made the obvious choice: purple. The answer was a sudden rush of seawater and fish that brought her to a knee.
It took a moment to get the fish off her before they could sink their teeth in, but the water was no trouble. Honestly, it was a bit refreshing.

Polair and Claud go LEFT HP: 26/40 -1 HP each roll
Apparently the whole hallway she was at was covered in green tiles. Polair and Claud did their best to navigate without pressing anymore green tiles, which was nearly impossible. He couldn't differentiate the colors very well and she... Well, Polair couldn't see for real this time. The smell of fresh blood followed them both, it was only a matter of time until their legs gave out. Claud staggered, trying to keep his balance as best as he could. He couldn't help but feel angry though. Angry at the machine, at scientists and at his charge who seemed to be pointing them in the wrong direction.

Health: 12 Defensive B Trinket: 1/1 Support A Artefact: 1/1
Even as the last of the water drained away, Ephias found himself bogged down by a dozen or so snipperbeasts. He let out a yelp as one clamped down on the back of his neck. If anything the sudden sharp pain helped to wake him up. Or at least make him more alert. Waking up was a luxury he did not often experience.
With a growl Ephias pried the fish off and threw it to the ground, where it proceeded to flop about, helpless and gasping. Ephias paused, watching the beast. As he did, he felt a strange surge of pity. It was irrational he knew, as the creature probably lacked any higher functioning mental capabilities but even so...
He was quick to put an end to it and the others with a swift stroke from his shears.
Chiara is attacking Half-constructed Tower Miss Hp:14/20 Damage Dealt: (+1) 0 Artifact Support B 1/1
Chiara sighed as she one again halfheartedly swung her weapon. Yeah, this was important and they were probably saving all troll kind or whatever the little orangeblood seer had said, but it was repetitive. Up stairs, into dead ends, jumping over lasers and stuff. Like, this was great in a way, but also the blueblood had some... personal things she needed to get to. This whole space race was really bogging down her skeadule. The boredom was making her mind wander, and of course the purpleblood was for front in Chiara's mind. The fight they had... the arguments... the hurt feelings... it all felt so raw. And the fact that they were still being "Chiara and Eridia, best friends forever" in front of everyone. Well, Chiara didn't need a "best friend". As always she was on her own. In this tower and in life.

Aandes HP: 17/20 Aandes goes Left.
"Hello?" Aandes began to hear the conflict growing, and his head was slowly beginning to feel signs of stress. He took a deep breath out and slid carefully around a corner, clutching his weapon tight.
Polair and Claud go LEFT HP: 22/40 -1 HP each roll
The path way they took was covered in purple blood. Not only had they activated all the green tiles, Claud and Polair activated them all. No doubt about it. They both tried to keep their bodies upright, Polair was no longer riding on him. She couldn't possibly expect him to carry her in those conditions. The child sighed, touching the walls for support while she traveled. Surely there had to be something she could do...
Think Polair... You always have an idea in mind. She thought, this was the first time ever she felt so useless and vulnerable.

Boss Attack
You arrive at dead end, with three doors lining the hall on either side. Only, the wall in front of you looks suspiciously different from the ones on either side. Hmm. You decide to poke around before you turn around and head back.
If you rolled a 1, you open the first door on the left, and are dogpiled by a bunch of troll-bots that pour out of small janitorial cupboard and onto you. Take 4 dmg, and 1 damage each roll after until a support power is used on you.
If you rolled a 2, you open the third door on the right, and immediately try and close it again as a swarm of robotically enhanced bees pour out. Well, it's just three of them but with their laser sights and reloading stingers, three is enough to make these bees a swarm. Take 3 dmg, and 1 damage each roll after until a support power is used on you.
If you rolled a 3, you open the second door on the left, but fail to see anything in the darkness that the room beyond contains. Stepping forward to get a better look, the door slams behind you, and something in the dark starts to viciously pinch you black and blue. Take 2 dmg, and 1 damage each roll after until a support power is used on you.
If you rolled a 4, you open the third door on the left and get hit with a giant spring-loaded mallet. Behind it however, is a power switchboard for this hall. If you turn it off, the fake wall ahead of you recedes back into the ceiling. Success! Take 4 dmg and deal +2 damage.
If you rolled a 5, you open the second door on the right and see a small cupboard, with a laser grid blocking access to the computer monitor inside, where a program is running. Wriggling your arm through a hole in the grid and bearing the burns, you can get close enough to bash on the screen until it breaks, and the fake wall ahead of you recedes back into the ceiling. Success! Take 3 dmg and deal +2 damage.
If you rolled a 6, you open the first door on the right and get hit with a water balloon - hilarious! However, it's filled with tear gas. After you get your vision back, you see a plug running from a hole in the wall to a power socket in the small cupboard behind the door, and unplug it. The fake wall ahead of you recedes back into the ceiling. Success! Take 2 dmg. flavour text here. Your attack does double damage.
