Its all in the Cards.

Seeing the others make for the exit, Ashtar followed them, pulling on Alyria to urge her on too. "They're done for, don't let it be for nothing, let's go!"

He had no idea how they'd get out of this house that refused to let them leave, but that was a problem for later.

Almost hesitantly, Alyria follows Ashtar, filled with regret doing so. She knew the pain of losing a loved one; it hurt her down to her soul to know not only had she failed Couth, but now Eye of the Storm was suffering the loss of his companion. Swallowing the emotions for now, she remembered the rest of them needed to still get out. Making her way to stand as close to them as possible, she raises her shield as they make their way out.

The four survivors sprint through the forsaken dungeon, leaving their fallen friend behind, buried under the rubble. The tunnels collapse around them—walls crumbling, ceilings caving in, dirt and stone raining down in a relentless cascade. Their breath is ragged, hearts pounding as they race toward the once-hidden stairs that lead to freedom. By some miracle, the room and stairs remain intact, and they rush upwards, desperate to escape the chaos below.
Bursting through the trap door, they enter the room with the dead stuffed wolves, only to be greeted by a nightmarish sight. The room is filled with pitch-black, fiery smoke pouring from the inferno engulfing the fireplace. The air is thick with the acrid scent of burning, and visibility is almost zero. Where once a sturdy door promised an escape from this hellish house, now a set of sharp, spinning scythe-like blades blocks their way, turning their path to freedom into a deadly gauntlet. The survivors are trapped, the house itself seeming to conspire against their every move, urging them to succumb to the darkness and despair.

Ashtar coughed, his eyes watering from the heat and smoke. He dashed for the bladed door, relying on the acrobatics he learned in theatre, but theatre was never this deadly, and he coughed as he jumped.

Tears rolling down her face from the smoke, Alyria coughs up a storm as she tries to find a window to break and possibly leap out of the house. "Stay close to each other," she calls out.

With a still red and itchy hand pressed firmly over her own nose and mouth, the fairy charges onward towards the exit. She pauses to let Ashtar pass through the lethal threshold. Poised to dash after sensing another body attempt the maw, Briar false-starts upon hearing Alyria’s voice pause in the space as the paladin searches for an alternative route. "Hurry!" she cries to her friend.

Alyria looks around the smoke filled room, trying to figure out the fastest and safest way out of the room god forsaken house.
She thinks the outer walls are too thick to bust through but the inner walls are a possiblity.
As she learns this she see Ashtar's form try to jump though the door of spinning blades.
Everyone hears the slicing of flesh. Ashtar scream in pain, something thud to the ground, and then silence...

"We have to go!" Briar shouts, feeling the edges of her vision darken. She dives for the opening Ashtar took, hoping her small form and quick movements can get her through with some amount of safety.

Ashtar thought of his beloved, of joy and laughter and days in the sun and in dark quiet moments. And then the blades caught him, and he crumpled onto the floor.

"No!" she screamed at the sound of her friend hitting the ground. Rushing in the direction of the doorway, she begins to pound the wall with her shield right beside the swinging blades, hoping she can break through and slide past or under the stairs to get to him.

Coughing from the Firey Smoke Briar manages to make herself even smaller and dart though the spinning blades.
Taking a more direct route Alyria shoulders her sheild and charges though the wall to get to Ashtar.
She breaks through the wall, along with a swarm of rats that were living in it. She manages to squish most of the rats and stomp on the few that remain. Leaving her shield coated with Rat guts.
Eye of the Storm follows behind Alyria through the newly made door. He uncaps a potions and shoves it down Ashter's throat.

Ashtar coughed himself awake. He wasn't sure how he was on the floor, but the situation hadn't changed, they needed to get out, and fast. He thanked the feline man, and moved towards the door.
