[u][b]Thaum: Bugtanical Gardens[/u] (Group A)[/b]

They actually managed to capture it. 

Xan had been expecting more resistance, but as soon as they got the net over it's head, the giant leech gave up, just like that. Estelle high-fived everyone while the others rejoiced. "Indeed, this is a good catch." She placed a hand on the prankster's head and ruffled the girl's hair. "Nice call, hero." Xan beamed, she was growing attached to the Pride. They were all good people.

[b]“Wait, where’s Don?”[/b]

"He ran into the forest. I'm sure he'll be alri--" Before she could even finish her sentence a loud scream echoed throughout the garden. No doubt, it was Don. Dylan ran into the forest and Xan turned to look at the others. "Maybe we'll find bigger bugs?" The girl shrugged then followed after the matter artist. Another ridiculously large spider jumped off a branch, it hung in midair due to it's web and focused it's many eyes on the pride. Not long after another spider dangled in mid air just a few centimeters away from Dylan's face.

It had to be as big as a tiny cat. Xan recoiled a little bit, eyes focusing on the several twitching legs.

Meanwhile, Don's shouting awakened one of the largest bugs in the garden. It crawled out of a nearby cave and let out a grunt. It looked like a cross between a spider and a millipede and an alien...

Another scream echoed through the woods. "He went into the black zone..." Xan tapped Dylan on the shoulder then pointed towards a swampy looking area by a black flag. The girl dashed on ahead but stopped dead in her tracks.

"What on earth was that." It was the biggest bug they had seen so far. It was as big as bear. "Don...maybe you should step back quietly."

Someone stepped on a twig and before they knew it the giant creature launched itself at the nearest living creature...Don. 

Meanwhile, Isaac rode on Kapi's back, enjoying the Capybara's company.

[u][b]Thaum: Colosseum[/u] (Group B)[/b]

He wasn't planning to send his sword flying...it kind of slipped out of his hands.

Lute seemed to think he had done it on purpose though, so Lucien gave the guy a nervous grin and a thumbs up. "Syed!" He called out excitedly, "we're not dying today, nope!" He watched as the wolf whimpered and tucked tail...that had been completely accidental, but he'd take what he could get. 

Lute walked towards them and handed him his sword. "Thanks, Lute, yeah?" Lucien gave the guy a ridiculously huge grin and a gaze fueled with respect. There were only two wolves left and Moira and Aria were handling them just fine. He let out a relieved sigh..."This isn't so bad."

The screen had been dead moments ago but this time it flared to life. 

"Good afternoon Thaum! You've just witness the trail round! Nobody is dead yet," the host laughed. "All the teams except the Blobfish Avengers have dealt with their wolves. Soon the real competition will begin. Blobfish Avengers, give us a real fight to remember! You have two minutes until disqualification."

Lucien stared at both Lute and Syed. "Real competition?"

Meanwhile, Jeff had seated himself behind both Selan and Aria.

The giant gladiator cupped both hands around his mouth and screamed as he cheered for the Blobfish Avengers (mainly Moira). He tapped both Amy and Selan on the shoulder then gave them a toothy grin. "Those are your friends in there, yeah? Are you a group of travelling warriors? You guys look like an odd bunch, really diverse, and that woman with the sword, do you reckon I'm her type?" The gladiator let out a hearty laugh then waited for a response.

"To be honest most of you don't look like the type of people for Colosseums." He shook his head at the cornered men though cheered when the boy with white hair and the lanky blue haired man managed to each put down a wolf. They were in last place at the moment, but it was progress. Maybe the blobfish avengers had it in them? He clapped his hands and let out a thunderous roar.
