It was really called Skuttlebutt?

Kev boarded the Korbinite ship -- Korbinites? Not something he knew about -- and wondered what on Earth he was going to be able to do.

They were going to be looking for someone called the Grandmaster. Not a Family Story. So he wasn't really sure.

	Bill nodded, adjusting his speed through some process that would make physicists throw up their hands in confusion, while still retaining forward momentum. "Aye, you are right. I had prioritized speed... but caution is still called for." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Behind them the minotaur battles the mindless ones. They have the advantage of numbers, but the minotaur is bigger and stronger. It is an even match.

The other mindless ones continue to chase after Bill and Kev. One falls into a pit after a section of the floor suddenly opened beneath them. The others press on.

As Bill and Kev fly spikes shoot out from both sides of the walls.

And this physicist desperately tries not to analyze Bill's shift in pace and positioning.

There is much gasping as they narrowly avoid the spikes, and then Kev drops down from Bill just for a moment, because he's seen enough of how it works to figure how to reset it -- and he's definitely wanting to reset it. Quickly and efficiently and right before their tagalongs will be rounding the corner to reach them.

Then he'll grab onto Bill again.

Bill nodded his approval of Kev's tactics. Were he not so distraught over the loss of Thor, perhaps he would be thinking clearly enough to have thought of it himself. As it is, his mind steel rages to avenge his Oath-Brother.

Still, even with his mind distracted, he holds the power of Asgard and the power of the storm, enough to sense the discharge of electricity coming their way from another trap, which he absorbs into his hammer, to save if necessary for later use.

	Kevin hopes that'll help a little. They don't need to delay the mindless ones much more. AFter all, they're almost to the gem. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The part of the maze started to rumble and a moment later the ceiling started to fall. Behind them the mindless ones continued to follow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kev by this point is decidedly back to clinging to Bill as they get through the last parts to the gem. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Bill poured on the speed. He could likely survive the collapse of the maze, but Kev would not. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They make it to the center of the maze where the gem sat on a small pedestal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kev reaches down and grabs it. And there's an odd sensation. He's suddenly very...aware of Bill's mind. Of other minds in the distance. The way he used to be aware of other people's energy signatures. With a big difference. This is a form of power, yes, and some aspects feel a little like that power, but... "It doesn't hurt," he mutters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Bill gives Kev a curious glance, but does not question his comrade. Instead, he looks upward. "Grandmaster! We have beaten your challenge and your maze!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right. All right, let's get out of here." Kev's still staring at what he's holding. (Reply to this)(Parent)
