No time to be shy or play coy. Time's up. Besides? B-Ro's seen more than hints already. Mistakes have been made. The final Act has to be perfect.

Four

This Golden Key opens the Crypt again, but it's the rush of tactile sensation that pours through, spinning into an umber glyph as big as he can make it... and deep as it slams into the ground under Cerberus. A gasp of pain escapes as the darkness seeps through; spiking tendrils into his back, and twisting his spine.

Better lock your door

Star is hoping to use Lesser Transmogrification to turn the ground under Cerberus into water with the intent to Release the spell and trap it underground.
Penalties taken to increase the volume by two steps to account for a radius as large as possible and the rest of the volume will be depth.
I assume Cerberus might get a check to jump to avoid falling in, but I'm hoping there was enough distance still between the two that it won't be able to jump -that- far, but distance wasn't posted/is unknown.

It all starts happening at once, Star does more fucking magic and holy fucking oh my god magic!, the Shaman doesn't see what's behind her, but she feels her feet it the floor all the same, booking it to Star, or as close as she could, before calling upon the Wilds!

She feels the blood flow, the rope of her muscles thicken, hardening.

She'll be ready.

She has to be

Moving up to her Speed (10), then casting Honing the Form

[Yumyumcrow]

Briar Rose can only run.

Only Star gets to see his handiwork - the horror of solid ground liquifying, the absurdity of the columns remaining exactly where they were.

And the curious comedy of Cerberus, building pace, increasing momentum.

And then sinking beneath the floor like a stone.

With a sploosh.

Now is he time for watching closely. Waiting for that moment when Cerberus goes under... and letting the threads fall apart. It leaves the ground in crumbling fans and solid droplets, rippling wake-waves from the epicenter like an earthquake frozen in time. Same reason there was no warning for B-Ro. Too focused on getting the placement right​.

Is it enough?

Because oh-so-curious about the columns now, but. Like. Hell dog.

Having booked it, she casts, before she can catch her breath.

B-Ro now casts Honing the Form.

[Yumyumcrow]

Star releases his spell.

Cerberus has vanished beneath the floor of the temple, which coalesces into solidity with a liquid grind of rock.

And combat is over. Because... No dog.

[Star]

Whooooo. Okay, then. Nobody got turned into Puppy Chow on this angel's watch. Exhale.

"So. That kind of conditional."

Trip-wires are a thing, yo.

"Might be more? Keep your head on a swivel," he added. Guess who's been watching SportsCenter? "Or. Howabout? One of us looks, the other one looks out? Those columns definitely need a second look."

Plus the whole stairway down thing.

"...We're definitely peeping those stairs before just, like, walking down."

[Briar Rose]

Seeing the Cerberus plummet below, and then get his ass sealed, Briar Rose can only nod.

She rocks on her heels, biting her lip. "Ah." she clears her throat. "Sorry." because that could have been her hide. Eaten in a nightmare tomb, without even a chance to grow claw and take her own strips of meat. "And. Um. Thanks."

"So. Um." she says, looking kind of constipated, as she's looking at not anywhere around Star as she drops her own haistily whipped up Sybl's Sight, "Could I get...some Prime vision assistance...?" that might be a smile. It's more a show of teeth, with her lips in a vaugely upward direction, "Please?"

Primal Flow




Oh, right. Prime-al peepers. Supernal Shades. Merlin's monocle.


A white glyph flares, both perfect and casual, and the angel drapes to over her to light the path.

"And don't sweat it."

Teachable moments and all that.

She might sweat it. For obvious reasons.

"Thanks." she says, after a long moment, because she wasn't ungrateful. But, she was, how to put it...?

Detracted AF.

This is what Obrimos Saw all the time...? Fuck. It's..eyes taking it all in. Her fingers itched.
