(Threads of Blood) Shards

[Animus]

Animus comes to a sudden halt, sniffing gingerly at a wire mere inches in front of his nose. A short whuff sends spittle flying past the near-invisible strand.

A moment's temptation to charge headlong through the room. A quick end; wouldn't it simplify matters? No more pining over lost love, or vengeance denied?

Perhaps he would have given in, if his lover's soul hadn't been on the line.

The wolf picks his way through the veritable minefield, and if signs of recklessness bleed through his rapid contortions, the effect is more than made up for by long-cultivated agility and proprioception.

A short pause as he focuses on the sense of Triquetra's soul, before he pads along the closest available route toward her location.

[Avis]

'Traps? What?' Avis thought back, turning away from the horrid pile of abandoned flesh that she just finished carrying into the house and then literally walking into one of the deadly strings of reflected moonlight.

Her shin found what her eyes did not.

[Ermon]

Ermon actually backs away a few steps when he sees Animus start dancing through the room like crazy around the wires that he can't quite see. It's good that he's in the back or he would be cutting himself on this crap or blowing up or whatever. Which is what Avis seems to be doing:

Maybe stop and scrutinize this shit before we go ahead? Just a suggestion. Or light it up or whatever.

Of course, Animus is barreling along so this might not be the best time. But he's quite sure he'll trip all over the place in this light.

[Ariadne]

Ariadne freezes when she hears the word traps. Of course the psychopaths left traps behind. Or maybe not. Who knows with crazies.

Chanting quietly in High Speech Ariadne pulls on the supernal to expand her senses.

[roadnottaken]

The wolf's fur crawls at the twang and the outpouring of tiny scratching feet. A longing look is cast before he turns around with a displeased growl.

[Leo Lockheart]

There was a second after Leo stopped. A second where Avis set the trap off and Leo genuinely thought about looking into Forces mastery to just incinerate everything in this place. After all, you can't fix stupid, but you can burn it into submission.

[Avis]

Avis was too busy storming a rain of curses through the mental network, and hissing in pain to react quickly to the ocean of needle-sharp teeth beginning to surge in all around her and the other Magi.

[Ermon]

There isn't even time for an 'I told you so' as hordes of what looks to be rats start pouring out of nowhere. Suddenly that 'burn it to the ground' option seems awfully tempting.
