the crush
The tunnel shook again, the pressure of Hadama ’s retaliation hammering forward like falling stars. Eight gravity spikes crashed into the Mirewyrm’s spiralled maw and throat in merciless succession, bursting against its void-forged flesh with a sickening crack and a shimmer of collapsing light. The creature reared, twisting violently, its body coiling like a ruptured cable as voidlight sputtered across its cracked plates. Its shriek was felt more than heard—vibrating the stone, rattling bones.
But it wasn’t dead.
The stag of sunlight came charging next, Vi’s presence glowing fierce and righteous, but the wyrm twisted just in time. The spirit crashed past with a ripple of light, missing its mark as the creature’s spiralled mouth opened wide once more. It didn’t aim for the demigod who had nearly ended it.
It aimed for the one who had missed.
A second beam of voidlight lashed forward, narrow but devastating. It slammed into Noah 's chest, tearing him from his footing and hurling him backward down the widened tunnel. The force knocked him into the stone wall with a grunt and a flash of pain before the Mirewyrm, wounded and furious, twisted its body and vanished—a snake slipping into water. It dove back into the earth, leaving behind a shattered, smoking gulf and a stench of scorched stone.
But the danger wasn’t over. Behind them, where Jack stood guarding the rear, it emerged, folding into their reality like peeling back skin: the Webvex. The void-spider spilled from a slit in the universe like ink from a wound, translucent limbs dragging across stone with jerky, twitching grace. Its hundreds of eyes blinked out of sync, watching everything.
It struck fast.
Before a word could be spoken, before magic could be summoned, a bolt of void-webbing burst from its spinneret—thick, glimmering strands of black-silver that coiled aroundSah with unnatural precision. It locked his arms to his sides, snapped across his throat and chest, binding him tight. And worse, his magic would go silent.
The tunnel's humming pulse faded from his thoughts. His earth magic, so recently wielded, slipped from his fingers like water. The webbing pulsed with suppressive power, nullifying his connection to the source. And the Webvex clicked once, mandibles twitching, before vanishing again in a ripple of ethereal mist.

Remember to include a summary at the bottom of your post with all action taken. If weapons/upgrades/abilities/items/shifts/etc are used, please include their desc. from your profile at the bottom of your post as well.
REMEMBER: KQs are rewarding but dangerous. They may cause death and/or permanent changes to your characters.
Mirewyrm (Rare): The Mirewyrm is a colossal void entity, vaguely serpentine and dragonlike, that tunnels through stone as though the rock were liquid. Its body is plated in black, semi-metallic scales that shimmer with deep-space reflections, constantly shifting and rearranging like something unfinished. It has no eyes, and its mouth opens sideways in a jagged, spiral maw—a gateway rather than a mouth, lined not with teeth, but with coiling tendrils of voidlight and gravity.
Webvex (Rare): A massive, void-corrupted spider that stalks The Crush, the Webvex is an ethereal predator capable of phasing in and out of reality. Its translucent, oil-slick body pulses with alien constellations, and its many limbs jitter with unnatural, twitching grace. Where a face should be is a single, spiralling maw that consumes sound, memory, and reason. It spins crystalline void-webs that cling to magic, thought, and flesh alike.
