"Don't move him!" *Syele went to yell out, his ribs could possibly be damaged and fractured so any attempt to move him now would only cause more harm then good. She casted 'walk it off' as fast as she could in the hopes that she could mend the interior damage before Kaisa unknowingly harmed him further.*

*She would then stand up and rush over to the stage, taking the katana and cutting her own hand down to almost the bone with it be barely visible to let blood pour before the statue along with giving up the entire sword as an offering. She spoke out once more with a bit of emotions flooding in her eyes, but her voice trailed out.* "I offer you my own blood! My very steel that guards my life! Take it! I have no greed for these things, I know hardheartedly, if I do not then these people will die! My comrades, people who have tried to help me thus far through this adventure! If not blood and steel is worth their lives then truly, you know fully what greed is." *She stated to the statue in her monotone voice... But her eyes started to water, either from the smoke or her own emotions leaking forward. Her words accused the statue, if it would not accept her offering, then it is just as greedy as arthur.*

```Casted walk it off| 0/100 mana until I become not lazily enough to count up the turns.```

_Almann grabbed the runes tossed to him, keeping low as to avoid breathing in too much smoke. He assessed closely to what runes he had, and what ones he needed._

_The keys were as follows: Charity, Fearlessness, Sacrifice, Vitality, Effort, Honor, and Quickness. He obtained Fearlessness, Effort, and Vitality himself. Their respective symbols were a Green Bow, a Red Axe, and a Violet Staff._

_He received one other from Kaisa. Sacrifice, with a Blue Shield as it's sigil._

_Almann still needed the other three: the Key of Charity from the Rogue, with an Indigo Dagger, the Key of Honor, and the Key of Quickness._

"I still need three mo-"

_She offered her blood? Had these ordeals really wore on these guys? It's reckless... Nonetheless Almann repeats himself._

"If you guys have any runes in your pockets, toss them to me!"
Thomas
"Almann! Here" *She throws him the key of the fist*
John
*Kaisa will attempt to move Arthur's injured body but would hopefully stop at Syele's warning. As Syele casts her healing magic onto Arthur she would see the wound start to slowly close up but the moment her healing magic stopped it would start bleeding again. She would hopefully realize what this meant*

*As Syelee then runs up to the rogue statue the runic circle would glow indigo once more. Spilling her blood and tossing the katana onto the pedestal would result in the rogue to pull out its daggers but would slowly turn to look at her offerings. It would then bend over to pick up the katana and as what it did with Arthur's sword, stuff it into its pouch. It would then seemingly stare at you with contempt and remain in a battle ready stance with its daggers out. However, as with last time, the light from the indigo runic circle would seize and the rune stone with the indigo dagger symbol would then drop from the pedestal onto Syele's pool of blood*

*That being said the room has now reached the same level of congestion as the last room and everyone would feel their lungs desperately struggling for air and have coughing fits once more*
Ranae
_Almann catches the fist rune, now he has five._

"I need two more! Jackal, Kaisa! If you have the last tw-" _Almann coughs furiously_

"If you have the last two toss them towards the sound of my voice!"
Roger
*Kaisa would gently lower Arthur down to the floor. She would hug him closely*
Thomas
"You're going to be alright Arthur. We need you here, we all do."
Roger
*She would unsummon her breastplate and cut off the cuff of her shirt, and tries to use it to wrap Arthur's wound*
Brandie
*Arthur would lie still on the floor, feeling his wound begin to close slightly as Syele cast her magic on him. However, something would happen; a seemingly unnatural force within his body would just... Halt the healing. The wounds spilling back to what they were prior, he started to bleed once more from his lung wound, with the same intensity as last time. Was he... Was he going to die here? Die, die in this dark room because of his stupidity? All because of his one mistake?*

*He let his body collapse into the floor, gazing upon his blade. How ironic that the closest thing he had to him all of these years was the single item that would end him. What had caused Arthur to act like this? Pride? Arrogance? Stupidity? A combined maelstrom of all three, whirling and spinning to cause the ultimate downfall of the kitsune? He sighed, letting the blood gush into his lungs, bleeding out onto the floor. This... This was even worse than Vinran. He could take a couple of lightning scars, but a stab wound? Heh, that would definitely leave a mark. Heh...*

*He picked the rune from his pocket, attempting to toss it towards Almann, though he wouldnt find it.*
"Wha- what? Even now, Im still being robbed? Damn..." He would deliver a mighty, hacking cough, almost causing the interior pointed parts of his ribs to sink into the exposed part of the lung. "I... I don't think I'll make it out of this one."
Thomas
"You're going to make it, dammit! You're getting out of this alive! Now, unconscious or not is another story" *She wrapped the bandage around Arthur's wound*
Brandie
"It's not even worth it. Oh hell, am I dying here?"
*He stared blankly at the ceiling.*
"Holy hell, am I going to... Die? Am I really going to die here? I... I dont want to die. Not yet. Just... Not yet. I havent even lived past... 3 cenimeters..."
Neal
*Syele would toss the dagger and sword runes toward Almann without a second thought while wrapping her hand up in a bit of leg garment she'd rip off while coughly violently. She'd then walk over to Arthur, standing over him with her dead eyes locked on him.* "You will not die from a punctured lung, now quit whining and acting like it's over just because you got stabbed! Your pride is more injured then you actually are!" 

*She'd be enraged by the mere fact that her healing failed to mend at least the thrust through his lungs, but regardless she waited for Almann to open the door, they had to escape or die, the latter was not what she wanted. So, she kneel down beside of Arthur for the time being and would attempt to forcefully lift his head up slightly.* "Look at me, you want me to out beat you? I'm scum and I have more will to live then you, is that acceptable? Is that what you really want, for scum to outdo you? Pathetic." *She mocked, in her thoughts he needed to get it together and if mocking him would do it then that was her belief.*
Brandie
"Coming from you, thats about the lowest insult I can get, isnt it?" *He locked his eyes onto her cold, dead gaze. It was kind of scary, how much she seemed to despise him. Although, he was a bit grateful; even though they hated eachother so, they still had eachothers backs when the times called. What a wonder... And people talked about how you cant trust anyone in the world anymore.*

"Yeah, maybe-" *He would attempt to sit up, reaching a sort of awkward sitting-lying down position. He still felt weak as hell but... But maybe he could move. He tried flexing his hands; they still worked fine, surprisingly. Although, when he tried getting up on his legs, he couldnt help but subconsciously clutch his bandaged lung wound as he fetched his bloodied sword. Ah, how ironic this situation was! A warrior, felled almost to his own blade. He would have found it remarkable... If he werent the subject. Slowly getting up to his feet, he would limp as he used his sword as a cane. Turning to Kai'sa, he would look meekly at her.*

"Thank... Thanks. Honestly." *He would then proceed to turn to Syele, staring her down with a pseudo-furious look on his face, but with a grim smile giving it all away. "I hate you. Not even kidding, I despise you. Though, I suppose I should thank you as well." 

*He would walk up to Almann, the smoke painfully stabbing his throat with every breath that he took. He trudged over to the door, waiting for it to open, if it ever did.*
Thomas
"Don't be stupid. Let me help you" *She would try to help Arthur walk, so he doesn't get even more hurt*
Brandie
"It-" *He stopped himself, realizing that if he said it was 'all right,' he would be lying to himself. Accepting Kai'sa's help, he would continue to slowly saunter over to the door.* "Thanks. Almost said I was ok there, but... Im not."
Ranae
_Almann catches the runes, turning back to the doorway. Seven upsidedown U shaped rows. Perhaps these are the virtues of a warrior? Would he put the most important one at the top or at the bottom?_

_Almann get's close to the door once more._

_Charity, Fearlessness, Sacrifice, Vitality, Effort, Honor, Quickness... What order would they go into?. Closing his eyes, he attempts to feel along the door to trying to figure out the design he sort of saw earlier. Perhaps it is physically inscribed into the door rather than a painted design. He could at least try to make out some details. Not having anyone who can cast an illumination spell might actually damn them in the end..._
John
*As Almann pressed his hands against the door, his skills as a man who often worked with his hands would feel the grooves and slowly paint an image in his head. The 7 upside down U shaped rows were stacked ontop of each other. The end of the U seemed to be connected to curvy ovalish shaped design, perhaps reminding Almann of a cloud. In the upper right corner of the wall it felt like there was a round shape with wavy lines coming out of it. He wouldn't be able to feel much else as he would have a sudden coughing fit. Hopefully he now had enough pieces to figure it out, or perhaps tell his findings to group to get some insight*
Ranae
_Seven curvy lines... Into what seemed to be a cloud? The circle with the squiggly lines... The sun shining...? That had to be it. It was a rainbow. What were the colors of a rainbow again? He remembers now._

_The colors... They matched perfectly with the stones' colors. But which way did it go? From top to bottom? He had to be remember._

_Almann sat and contemplated. Nothing. He didn't remember. He'd have to guess: from top to bottom._

_He places the runes in the slots in the following order from top to bottom: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet._
Brandie
"A.. Rainbow? Thats not very appropriate, considering our situation with this-" *Another vile, dry cough. It really was beginning to take a toll on his durrent state, especially considering his lung injury. "This... Smoke and whatnot. Though, its the best we've got."
Neal
*Syele simply smiled at Arthur as he spoke out his hatred toward her for some odd reason, but the smile was almost uncomforting and somewhat vile in it's own right.* "Good, as long as you live, you may someday even kill me." *She stated plainly without a single bit of heart in what she said, but her face only portrayed the truth. Afterwords, she'd walk over to the door with the others and waited for Almann to hopefully solve the puzzle without causing anymore troubles for them. She'd then cough with another violent fit while holding the piece of garment over her mouth.*
John
*As Almann would place the runes according to color the runes would all light up along with the runic lights behind you. The door would slowly start to slide into the ground, thinning out the smoke in the room down to tolerable levels. Syele would hear a clanking sound from behind her. Looking back should see the katana on the ground infront of the rogue statue. The rogue would also be seen sheathing its daggers and taking a neutral stance once more. It would seem at long last you all are finally free of this smoke chamber.*
 *As the door would slide all the way into the ground, you all would see the next room was much more wider and spacious, a stone hallway of sorts. Along the wall of the stone passage way are 7 doors. They all appear to have handles that you can use to open unlike the last 2 doors*
Neal
*Syele would calmly walk back to pick up her katana and then quickly went into the next room to avoid any more smoke build up in her lungs. She would examine the doors closely, then looked to the walls trying to see if there was anything writing on them that could give them details on what to do next.* "I'm starting to think we're not even here to kill those guild members... Maybe the boss is just trying to test us."
Thomas
"Come on, Arthur!" *She would help him walk into the next room with him*

"You're probably right. Think we're going to *Cough* See him later?"
Roger
*Kaisa would examine the doors. 7 of them. Just like the first two previous rooms. The question was, which doors would they open? Open the doors corresponding to the keys they gained? In order?*
Ranae
_Almann slowly makes his way into the next room. Seven doors huh? Another test. He didn't know if he could take another test. His lungs burned, and his limbs ached terribly. Nonetheless, he shuffles his way towards the nearest door on the right, while also attempting to cough out the soot breathed in from the previous two rooms. Better to keep on going instead of stalling. His adrenaline is beginning to run out anyways._
Brandie
"What kind... What kind of test is this? The ones I'm used to are more... Academics oriented."

*Slowly but surely, he walked into the new room, getting the smoke out of his lungs. There was still a trace of it, but the air in this new room was infinitely better than the one in the previous. Replacing the smog filled hell house of the old room, this new room was quite spacious, with a stone hallway leading to seven different doors up ahead. He couldn't walk or run as well as he could, and he felt his senses weaken as he stepped into the room. He held his bandaged wound as he walked ahead to the nearest door. A test? Could this all really be some kind of twisted assessment? Some kind of sick joke? He clasped his sword in anger, seeing how this 'test' caused him to be on the verge of death. Just what kind of person was the boss, really?*
John
*Almann would open the door all the way to the right and to his surprise he would find it opening with ease. Peeking his head inside he would find the room filled with cargo boxes, chests, and gear. Alas he was only a human so he could only about 5 ft in and couldn't see the back, but he would perhaps hear the feint sound of heavy breathing and crying*
Ranae
_Slaves? He figured. They were told there was live cargo. The room could be booby trapped, and he didn't have anything to light it up with. There had to be a lantern or something somewhere._

"There's cargo in here, live and not living." _He closes the door and jerks his thumb to the door behind him_

"Let's start checking the other rooms. Be careful of booby traps, it's very possible they're still in here, so proceed with caution and DO NOT do anything rash. No matter what you hear from the rooms. We have to find some sort of light, or we're sitting ducks."
Thomas
"I'm going to set you down now. Be careful, and watch out for anything"
Roger
*Kaisa would set Arthur down very slowly, and would open the leftmost door*
Brandie
*Arthur would watch as Kai'sa helped him down onto his feet. He could hear the sounds of crying and heavy breathing come from all across the room. Slaves, perhaps? The prospect of this idea caused him to be immensely uncomfortable, as he did not condone the slave trade in any way. Nevertheless, he would limp over to another door away from Kai'sa, staring at it as he wondered what lied within. He only heard Almann say that slaves were the only things inhabiting the various rooms, so at first he felt like there wasn't a need to go and look at every last one; but he decided against this, realizing that it would be the better move to make sure there wasn't anything he would be missing by opening the doors.*
Neal
"Question, is it really wise to open all the doors? Your bound to trigger a trap and cause us more harm. We should had honestly just picked one and went with it to find an exit or see if that was our cargo." *Syele stated plainly, while straining her eyes as she watched the others still continue to open doors, they were about to get fucked in her mind and she knew it wasn't going to be fun.*
John
*As Kaisa would open the door, she would be greeted with an explosion of spells, lightning, fire, water, air, and earth, slamming her into the stone wall, causing it to cave in and crack from the pressure. Her ribs would clearly be broken as blood spewed from her mouth along with fractured bones throughout her body and severe burns. You all would hear cheering and laughter coming from inside the room*

"Woohoo!"
"Hell yeah!"
"Pffft, what an idiot. Did she think we didn't hear her coming?"
"Silence, this is but one of them. There are more to deal with"
"As you say boss. However, I doubt they will put up much of a fight"

As Arthur would open his door he would find it filled with various weapons and armor. It looked like an armory of sorts. He would hear the explosion come for hims left to see Kasai be sent flying against the wall. But before he can afford to send any concern to her he would hear a *Twing* Sound come from the back of the room he just opened
Ranae
_Almann immediately whips his head towards where Kaisa was hit. Why didn't she step out of the way? He unsheathes Horemheb, rushing to flank the left side of the door (facing outwards) before the men come out. He draws his arm across his chest, preparing to decapitate the first man who shows himself. With he other arm he prepares a spiked bronze fist in case his attack goes south._

_The dimness of the room should give him enough time to see the enemy and strike accordingly before they can react, Almann hopes. Perhaps the darkness will now play in their favor instead of against them._

```Almann prepares a counter attack. The first enemy he sees he will attempt to decapitate with his sword. The blade strikes with a strength of 8, and the Spiked Stone Fist in Almann's hand would cost 3.75 if used.```
Roger
*Kaisa would open the door only to be greeted by a conglomerate of different magics, sending her flying across the room. She could feel her bones fracture all over, as well as several burns, somewhat mitigated by her armor. She knows that it's unlikely she'll recover anytime soon from this, since the stone wall had actually caved in from the impact* 

*She could feel the pain course through her, striking as suddenly as lightning, as she is overwhelmed by the sudden damage to her body. She feels it flare up as she coughs up blood, and her head spins as if she is in a whirlpool. Kaisa can only cry out in pain, as she tries to endure it*
Brandie
*Arthur watched as Kaisa would be sent flying across the room, turning quickly as he tried to discover the source of damage. It seemed that a number of different magics had been the cause of her plight, and Arthur himself couldnt really do anything besides watch. He felt significantly weaker than he had before coming into the passage, and felt a good bit slower too. His lung wound, conviniently, had stopped bleeding around this time, however. He didnt have to keep Rasmus, his sword, to stay held up anymore; rather, he found that he could stand up on two legs, but didnt feel like he could truly run or do combat, yet. He needed a little longer to recover.*

*He watched as Almann charged towards the origin force, a spiked stone fist in hand and a sword in the other. Seeing how Arthur himself couldn't do any significant strokes yet, he held his right arm up with his left hand, casting Burn Up! On Almann, raising his general and running speed accordingly. Once he had finished, he went over to his sword, tapping it once, to change it into its halberd state. Hopefully when it finished the slow transformation, Arthur would be able to wield it once more again.*
``` Burn Up! And morphing cast. Remaining mana: 116.25 ```
John
*As Almann stands ready by the door, he would notice a figure walk out and with his enhanced speed thanks to Arthur, he would swing his prepared sword slash swiftly in one fell motion*

*Swoosh*

*Blood would splash against the wall as the head of young male macen with yellow hair falls to the ground, followed by his body shortly after, quickly forming a pool of blood by the door way. It would seem Almann's sneak attack was effective, however it almost felt... Too easy? Even taking into consideration Arthur's buff, it would be odd for supposed guild members that used to work for the boss to go down that easily. However, looking at the fallen body though, Almann would realize why it wasn't as difficult. The macen's body was covered in burns that reached the bone, practically a walking corpse. It seemed like a miracle in itself that he was even alive.*

He would hear gasps of shock coming from inside the room and the clicking of tongues in irritation. 
"Damn, they got Tony... Looks like they still have a fighter left. Looks like the defense system wasn't that effective..."
"It was his own fault for being too eager, but yes, it saddens me to see a comrade fall."
"How long do you think we can last? What if there is more than one of them?"
"Calm down, they may still have a capable fighter left, but they must be at least some what injured. We can maybe negotiate with them"

*The deep voice would clear his throat and yells out*
"It seems you've killed one of our own. That being said, do you think you can take out the rest of us? I think we can negotiate so that we both come out of here with what we want!!"

*As for Arthur, after he had cast his spell and transformed his sword, perhaps due to being disoriented from the pain, he would pay no attention to the sound he heard earlier. That would unfortunately lead to him receiving a sharp pain to the neck, causing his blood to spill onto the ground at an alarming rate. It seems to have hit the jugular*

*Kaisa spent the turn recovering from the intense pain and burns, and while it was hard for her to stand and move, she was still concious and capable of movement to a certain extent. She would see Almann kill one of the assailants that attacked her with ease. She might let out a sigh of relief, but she would then notice Arthur standing in the room next to her clutching his throat as blood started to spill all over to floor. Her comrade was in danger, was this the time to stay down, to succumb to the pain? Is this how she wanted to die? Helpless and weak ,letting her comrades die around her?*
Roger
*She would be on the floor after falling from the wall. She couldn't fail now, not when they had gotten so far. She couldn't finish weak, having failed to protect the others. She would start to crawl towards Arthur, feeling jolts of pain every time she moved, her head swirling and her vision blurry, but she was determined to help who she called a friend*
Mary
"Strike a deal you say? Now why would we do that?"
Ranae
_He was really trying to sound like he wasn't injured. His talking should stall them a bit. He looks at the man on the floor. Where these really the guilds men? I suppose it could've been a mage, not every mage is physically fit for battle but rather uses their spells to make up for it..._

_Either way Arthur was foolish, not paying attention to himself. Almann didn't hear what struck the man, but he knew Arthur was going to be out for a while, if not dead. He needed to slow the bleeding._

_He remembered that Kaisa was a vampire. Perhaps the blood couldn't heal all of her injuries, but it would be enough to get her up, no?_

_Almann quickly grabs the fallen body, and lobs it in the general direction of Kaisa, simultaneously disengaging the 'Stone Fist' spell, but still maintaining his flank on the door._
Brandie
*He was a fool. He had noticed a small twanging of metal earlier, but hadn't heeded the warnings of the sound, instead having chosen to go inside the room filled with gear. As he finished watching the morphing from sword to halberd, he felt a sharp, piercing, stabbing pain through his neck. It was swift and instant; he had not a moment to react to this attack, but consequently, his jugular blood vein would burst open, causing blood to immediately gush out of the wound at a frightening pace. He fell to the floor, feeling his limbs grow colder as the minutes passed. Again, he had acted stupidly and on impulse, and again he would face the consequences of his actions. He fell to the floor in a pool of his blood, his black hair becoming stained with the red of his dark crimson. His vision swam, and he became more senseless by the second. How many times had he felt like this? Like he would be on the verge of death? Three times, now? 'Three times too much,' he would think, before succumbing to his wounds.*
