Fen and Valerie vs Eggbear Sleuth A wave of dizziness hit Fen as she looked up from her victory towards where Valerie was. For a few moments she couldn't quite make out what she was seeing. Valerie and the last remaining bear were near each other and there was movement but it wasn't until the bear collapsed to the ground that she could start actually telling any details.  Valerie approached her and at first it only caused the air to grow hotter but it steadily got cooler and cooler until it finally, while still warm, was manageable. "Huh, guess it's all done with over here already. Seems like you're pretty fast aren't you?" Valerie clapped Fen on the shoulder. "Sorry about that, kinda forgot partway through that you were even here. Might've gone a bit overboard but got the job done that's what matters right?" She glanced at the girl's face and said, "bet you're wishing you could get back into the bumper boat pool, heh." Trevor and Kira vs Dark Thorn The beast reached Trevor just as he cast his spell. His claw came down right for Trevor's face but the wind shield prevented it from getting a direct hit. However Trevor could feel the claws pass just by his face. The creature let out a mighty roar and doubled over to swipe both claws at Trevor and try and overwhelm his protection with a series of rapid strikes. While this happened Kira was looking around for a weapon and then, with a shrug, walked over and picked up the giant claw machine. She lifted it up over her head and jumped up, ready to bring it down onto the back of the creature. Melissa and Kasayee vs Vylon Delta The Vylon's Cestus struck Sandalphon's ring. There was a harsh scrapping sound as the metal met metal but the Vylon's arm was flung to the side in the process. Which left it wide open for attack. However Kasayee didn't attack. Instead she continued to circle, albeit getting steadily lower, above the Monster. Almost as if waiting for some sort of signal or sign. While the Vylon's other hand was empty it didn't stop it from reaching for Sandalphon. With the aim to grab onto a ring to try and slow it down to allow for a direct blow into the middle.

As they went down the staircase each of them would feel a tingling sensation. The hair on the back of their necks standing up and a strange energy running up and down their appendages.  As soon as they stepped off of the steps and through another door this sensation went away but it was replaced by a chilly, barely perceptible, air. They had entered a forest. A forest made up of dead trees. They looked like blackened stakes sticking out of the ground with a multitude of spiky branches coming off the trunks. Many of these branches had corpses stuck to them, the wood jutting through their chests. The trees weren't packed tightly yet they could see no end to them. And if they glanced behind them they'd find that the doorway, as well as the stairs, had entirely vanished. Leaving them in the middle of a small clearing among the trees. There were four, winding, paths leading out of the clearing through the trees to the front, back, left, and right from where they were standing. Far off in the distance along the latter three they could faintly see a red glow.  There was nothing off towards the path in front of them. Or so it seemed at first. And then there was some kind of movement down the path. It seemed to come from some sort of shadowy figure that might have been human-shaped but it was much, much, taller than any human. It seemed to be wandering aimlessly among the trees, and was only noticeable for a brief moment at a time before vanishing from sight, but there was a sense that it was steadily getting closer each time they saw it.  

I feel like I should like this more but idk I just found it boring, 5/10
