 [u][b] Thaum: Coliseum [/u][/b]

After climbing up the ladder after everyone else and into the stands, their little group was immediately surrounded by upset spectators. Truthfully Aria didn’t quite blame them- their performance in the cage had been rather lackluster even before being cut short by Syed’s impromptu display of electrical fireworks. 

Before the crowd could jump them or take out their frustrations in some other physical and no doubt painful way they were forced to back off when Jeff thankfully arrived. 

[i]"Blobfish Avengers, your friend and I need your help."[/i]

Gods, their team name just sounded lamer and lamer each time someone said it. 

Aria turned around to look in the direction in which Jeff had motioned to, only to see the giant scorpion send a few men flying with its tail. 
[i] "Oh trust me, I don't let my comrades die."[/i]

She blinked before moving to the side. As much as his words were reassuring, she wasn’t sure how much she would enjoy facing that particular monster head on. If they were going to go and try to subdue it she could stay back and throw knives at it-

“Eek!” 

As Jeff ran down the stairs towards the scorpion, he had taken the chance to somehow scoop her and Syed up and was now running pell-mell down the stairs with the two guilders under his arms. 

[i][b]"FOR GLORY AND HONOOOR!"[/i][/b]

She winced at the volume of the man’s battle cry, realizing the futility of trying to escape this macho man’s clutches and instead mentally prepping herself for their impending doom. She turned her head to face Syed with a dry smile, voice conversational and shaking with each stride Jeff took down the stairs. 

“If I die here I think I’d like to have dahlias at my funeral. They’ve always been my favorite flower, and would add quite a nice touch of color to a somber occasion, don’t you think?
