A terrible shrieking emitted from the hot cloud, as it's dermal armor was burned and softened somewhat. It's giant appendages swung in front of it in an attempt to disperse the thick steam, and it eventually succeeded. The spider guardian furiously bared it's fangs to the trio, viscous venom dripping to the stone below and causing it to sizzle. "Acidic venom..." Celia muttered, trying to formulate what to do. The acid would probably melt through her Heavenwall after a second hit. The magic would only be able to repel so much of that stuff. Nebula Razor might work, but after the first try she didn't feel too confident. Maybe the underside...
"Jayce, Noire...I'm gonna try something. Keep it busy for me!" Celia winked before dashing off. "Starboost!" She said as her feet became encased in a bit more stardust from her orb, allowing her to glide speedily towards the spider. Before it could lunge forward, Celia dashed up the wall and was able to ride the wall to the back side of the spider. On it's back were large, webby pod, writhing and squirming. She swore she heard calls for help... "The travelers?!" Celia exclaimed, before refocusing and charging up a Nebula Razor. If that were true, she needed to wait for an opening to cut them down and get them to safety.

"Aw, I like kittens, though..." Celia whispered dejectedly before returning to gazing out over the stone corridor. If anything did happen, like falling rocks, she'd simply set up Heavenwall around them or, if it was something dangerous, try and scare it off with Nebula Rain.
The night was uneventful for the most part, until a distant shaking and scuffling got Celia's attention. "What the...?" She whispered, before the early morning sun illuminated a large arachnid form coming towards them, shuffling around the walls. "Oh no...oh no... Jayce! JAYCE! WAKEUPTHERE'SAGIANTSPIDERHELP!" Celia screamed, erratically shaking him. The giant beast must have been disturbed by their shouts and Noire's flying around. And it looked rather angry approaching them. Knowing that she'd have to slow it down, Celia got into position as it was closing in. "N-Nebula Razor!" She shouted, as crescent blades of stardust shot out of her sphere, the projectiles scraping the spider's exoskeleton without much effect. In fact, the arachnid was even more agitated now, and was scuffling even faster.

This flight has wifi. Neat.
I'll try and post tonight when I get home, folks. Just popping in to say I'm not dead.

Dammit, finally on my flight home and now things are floundering. So much crie.
Celia murmured something about kittens invading Middlemist, before slowly opening her eyes at Jayce's request. Sleepily, she nodded, grabbing her stardust sphere and taking his position. "Sleep tight, Jayce." She smiled taking a seat and making sure not to fall asleep. At least she had the fish to watch.
Packing and getting ready for a trip that'll last until the 21st. So I can't guarantee a post right now, but if I don't get one in, then you can puppet Celia, Irish.
Holding the sleeping roll close, she nodded her head. "Sure. That sounds like a good plan." Celia began spreading out the sleeping roll where there was some space near the fire, laying down and setting her bag beside her, as well as the still condensed sphere of stardust. The inherent magic of the particles held the dust together, not requiring any maintenance from Celia until she wanted to mold and use it. Before settling down for a bit of rest, she looked to Jayce. "I'll take the watch after you. Noire deserves a good night's rest, from all of that flying she did. I'm not just a cute facshhhhh..." She tried to sound tough, but was already nodding off and asleep by the end of her sentence.
A forlorn expression on her face, Celia gazed into the growing fire. It wasn't often she felt sad, but when it came to the issue of human life...it really got to her. This wasn't about the reward money anymore, but about saving lives. And just on the first day...it was looking bleak. She began to root around in the food supplies for a bit of bread, warming it a bit and taking small, thoughtful bites.
She looked to the stars emerging above, their glittering shapes radiating in every direction. Were the travelers already among them? Celia couldn't say for certain. She looked to Jayce and Noire, asking a somber question. "So, how many days do we keep searching?" Celia inquired, wondering how long they would be able to stay without ending up lost themselves, should something happen.

Celia stared at the path Jayce had chosen, then back at him for a second. And then, she laughed. More than she should have. It really shouldn't have gotten her that badly, but she expected a more...mature conclusion from the man. She still nodded, though, and started heading down the path. Flying fish were soaring over head, going all around the valley. If they weren't looking for a group of lost people, in a perilous location known for it's labyrinthine qualities, maybe it would have been a peaceful, calming sight.
Celia trudged down the path, which seemed to get narrower and narrower. The sun was nearly set by now, it's bright orange hues dimming down into wispy purples and blues overhead. A nocturnal chill had descended over Web Valley, making the young wizard shiver a little. Shorts and a short-sleeved blouse really were a bad idea.The path eventually let out at a more open area, a sort of giant ring closer to the valley's center. Moving her hands gracefully, Celia molded the sphere in her palms to become more like a cone. She lifted it to her mouth and yelled, "Hello? Anyone out there?!" Her voice echoed off the walls. She waited, and hoped, for a response.

Around the entrance, there was no sign of life besides the flying fish, which were a marvel to Celia. She didn't let herself get too distracted, though, The branching pathways began, and soon they were within the maze's grasp. It was a winding series of trails, a lot leading to dead ends, with some showing a little wear from over the years of lost travelers. It was a confusing mess of rock, and the quickly setting sun was against them in the already dark valley.
According to the map, they would have to make their way to the Bosco side in order to explore fresh territory and hopefully find them. It was possible that they may have come further in, and that Celia and Jayce might find them on the way. "I don't think we're gonna find anything around this side..." voiced Celia, wondering if maybe they'd have to set up camp for the night above, and try in the morning. She was determined to get as much done that night as they could. Soon enough they were at an intersection of about five paths...
"Oh, dear...which do we choose?" Celia questioned, a little lightheartedly.
