Maea
It's not a demon at your door
Group 1 split up. While Maea had an easy if boring time of taking notes, herding snakes and using her fire magic to keep the braziers and lanterns lit, Thalassa was forced to dig to the roots of her captain's holler to make the panicked assistants listen. It took a lot of fast talking and coaxing, but eventually she was able to make them stop running around. Only then could a guard captain step in and usher them into the Spire until the refugee spider was dealt with. When Thalassa returned, Maea would hand the notes over so that the other Ancient could see what had been going on in her absence... which was a whole lot of nothing.
Over in the gentleman's club Group 2, things were calming down. With a combination of luck and experience, Sah worked with swift efficiency and soon the fence didn't budge no matter how hard the Void Tangleweed bashed into it. Talyson meanwhile was able to observe several interesting things about both the normal and infected Tangleweed. Unfortunately nothing happened that would help answer how the Void was spreading.
Speaking of spiders, in group 3 Edmund had a difficult time catching up to the Voidweaver. Its size did in no way slow it down, and the matter was made more difficult by the way it tried to rush the already panicked assistants. But finally, after leaving several patches of scorched grass on the ground, the spider failed to dodge and caught fire with a nasty crackling sound, and a scent that reminded strangely of... crab? But maybe that's just your imagination. It's getting closer to lunch time, after all.
Ellyra's luck in counting the spiders within the enclosure was in no way better. Between the chaos around her and the chaos within the crate, she would have to start over several times before she accurately accounted for all the animals. In total, 16 spiders had been released, of which half had been Voidweavers and the other half Wine spiders. Yet, as she counted, she would discover that of the 15 remaining animals... only 5 Wine spiders could be spotted between them. How strange!
A bell chimed that marked the end of the time allotted for this experiment. Maea left her docile serpents to the care of a guard and called for the other group members to pay attention.
"Everyone! Can you tell me briefly what you have discovered? It's time to move on to the next experiment, but depending on your results I may have to change things around."
Round 6
Experiment 1 round 5 - Last one for this task!
Announce what you have discovered in your groups, if anything!
We're almost halfway, great job everyone! Hang in there and let's move on to the next stage.
