Hadama glanced over to the glow of Zavien's blade with a glint of approval in his eyes, and he inclined his head in a slow nod of appreciation for the sword and its originator. His own eyes had been cast upwards, ensuring that they weren't approached by anything with wings while their movements were hampered by the confines of the maze, but at the Breaker's warning he glanced down, frowning slightly as the patch of sickly ground was pointed out.
Maea's warning gave him no time to study the ground in detail, however, as he followed her indication towards the places where purple Daisies peeked from between the roses. "We cannot leave them here to spread." His rumbled words were met by the flapping of pale wings as the Ancient rose away from the two ground-bound members of the group.
"See if you can spear them with your sword," the Tidebreaker suggested to Zavien, nodding towards the largest patch of Daisies. Following suit, he used his trident to jab into the side of the hedges, avoiding the roses as much as possible while attempting to impale the Cursed Daisies and pull them out by their roots onto the path. The sickly sweet aroma of the tainted flowers wafted around them even more thickly in response, sending a deep sense of unease and increasing paranoia through the two men closest to the source.
The Gambit did not seem particularly pleased with Maea's 'cheating' as she rose above the walls. The living wood moved more swiftly than usual with the quickening of spring sap flowing through it, and a latticework arch of vines and branches began to writhe over the top of the section of the labyrinth they were currently in. The Gore Crow slipped past them, but the way ahead was already becoming obscured and in a few more heartbeats she wouldn't be able to return.
Round 2: The Gambit doesn't seem to appreciate cheaters who try to spy the route from above! It begins to close up over the top of the group, both to prevent Maea from seeing what lies ahead and to keep her out if she doesn't move quickly!
Hadama begins attacking the Daisies and hits!
But both Zavien and Hadama are affected by the Daisies' aura...
Cursed Daisies: 115/150
Cursed Daisies (Common): Once the calming Sweetgrass, these void-corrupted daisies emit an unsettling aura. Instead of attracting pollinators, they draw in void insects that feed on the life force of anything nearby. Their sickly-sweet scent now conceals the stench of void decay.
