So the traps were not triggered by pure proximity or weight then. Annoying yet not unexpected. Assuming the trap’s trigger is magical in nature was safe to assume then, and Lorien’s report claiming that nothing seemed out of the ordinary reinforced Mantis’s suspicion. Although that human was starting to get a bit too cheeky for his own good. Having the audacity to request her to speak that filthy human tongue. [COLOR=#009900][B]"No! You learn Sylvan instead!"[/B][/COLOR] Mantis said, glaring at Lorien with disgust. Xune asked if Mantis could speak common to the humans [COLOR=#009900][B]{"I speak their filthy tongue when necessary. do not worry about that"}[/B][/COLOR] She said to the spider before returning her focus to the traps How annoying. If the trap is magical, as she suspects, there must be a casting focus somewhere. Take out the focus, and the traps will stop working. But first, they needed to know what triggers the traps. With that info moving around the place will be far less dangerous. Ryken threw off his damaged armour and threw it into the hallway. probably a wasted effort as the debris she threw earlier didn’t cause any reaction. But what could one expect from a dense-minded human? Still, it’s other material than sticks and stones, so who knows if it does something. Lorie,n on the other hand, was more reckless with its plan. They gamble it all on being faster than the traps. a surefire way to get yourself killed. or at least harmed. Mantis sure hoped the traps wouldn’t outright kill him so she could salvage his half-dead body before she eats him. [COLOR=#009900][B]{"If he survives this and begs for healing, I WILL make it cost him an arm or a leg so you know…"}[/B][/COLOR] She told Xune not hiding her frustration about the human’s action nor her intentions at all. There has to be a path. Mantis used [b][magic focus][/b] to reveal the magic lines that spread across the floor that Lorien had noticed earlier. Perhaps those were the triggers. Mantis calmly walked forward with [b][agile step][/b], making sure she avoided stepping on any of the faint lines while still ready to dodge away if she triggered a trap.
