Orange Team Finale

Four days of ice maze, four days of cold, four days of wandering lost, falling into traps and slowly getting closer to the centre of the labyrinth.

There is very little warning in the labyrinth, those nearer the outer walls may see the storm get more intense outside but their first real indication that something is wrong is when the world lurches.

Parts of the maze have moved before, passages opening and closing. But now the whole labyrinth moves, shaking and twisting, spinning in the sky, as if it were trying to shake those inside out. They may be able brace themselves, they may be thrown down passageways, into ice walls.

The whole place seems to get colder. An attempt to freeze them out. The shaking only lasts a few minutes, but it is intense.

But even this attempt at getting rid of them isn’t enough it seems, because those close enough will soon find themselves entering through the last gap in the ice. To the machine room itself. Indeed it might be that they were flung closer by the shaking itself.

The spider catches up with him after his first check on a teammate and does her own check of him, which mostly entails Curufin being frisked like she's airport security. Pat pat pat.

Ugh, she has no idea how badly he's hurt, but he's a solid member of Orange and she'll be damned if she'll let any of her golden team points geese lose productivity from this stupid maze. She casts the fastest healing spell she knows, which is basically just good for surface injuries and exhaustion. Who knows what kind of internal organs elves have? She's not risking high magic that might turn him inside out.

She makes sure to cast it from out of the lines of sight of the rest of the team, because she's gotten this far without being roped into healer duty and she's not planning to start now. She's DPS, okay?!

Once the spell takes after a second or so, she drops her arm. Her? Cast a spell? No way.

Curufin turns to find his spider teammate looking all concerned about him. He is swiftly subjected to being frisked for injuries. Fortunately, all he has are some bruises, some of them spectacular but not life-threatening. The hair on the back of his scalp rises as he feels the energy of a healing spell being cast his way. The bruises diminish and then vanish, and the aches vanish. (Elves have the same internal organs as mortals do, lol, so it wouldn't have harmed him if she had used a deeper spell, though it wouldn't have been at all necessary.)

He flexes his arms and smiles. "Thanks, Kumoko! I feel much better now." Can't fool an Elf.^^

Whew!

She doesn't know what she'd do if her main team points earners got injured and couldn't-- uh, she means, she doesn't know... what she'd do... if her friend got hurt..? Yeah.

Hmm.

What did she do? Nothing, that's what. Don't tell anyone! She pats him on the shoulder with her second, non-bladed leg, and starts to scurry off.

Curufin would laugh his ass off at that thought, if he could hear it. Golden goose team points earner! Wonderful!

"Thanks, Kumoko!" he calls softly as she scuttles away. "I owe you one!"
