OBSTACLE THREE: LAVAparadisamodsNovember 16 2011, 21:12:52 UTC
Did you notice it getting hot? You should be, now. We're talking sweaty, slippery-fingers hot.
That's because there's a small lava flow up ahead, glowing orange with heat. On the heat-color spectrum, orange ain't so bad, but come on; we all know that's still hot as fuck. It's lava.
Getting across is going to be dangerous, but it looks like there's a small ledge that passes over it. If they can tightrope walk across the 6" stone beam without falling, maybe they'll get out of this one okay.
[That makes Gwaine pull up short before he reaches halfway and turn his head to stare at Allen. With a roll of his eyes, he moves forward again. He holds up his arms exaggeratedly like they were wings. Better?]
[Much better! He meanwhile follows when it looks like there's enough space for Gwaine. And since he's used to this stuff? He's making it look pretty easy]
[You're an ass. Did he mention that during his drunken monologue? Because he's certainly thinking it now. When he's at the end, he exhales a heartfelt sigh. He sags against the opposite wall, biting off one of his gloves to mop at the sweat collecting on his brow. His hand is trembling faintly, but not from fear.]
[He pulls what looks like a waterskin free from his satchel and takes a long swallow from it. He tucks it away again and pulls his glove back on. Time to wait for the others.]
[Still staring-seriously, man, what is your problem?-he removes his belt in order to pull the hauberk off him. He keeps the gambeson although he's highly tempted to strip it off just to see what Allen's reaction would be. However, he's suddenly so much lighter and even cooler without the extra layer that he's too happy to torment Allen. Setting the hauberk over his shoulder, he ties his belt around him again.]
[A full six inches! Wonderful! This woman has tightrope walked a literal rope while being attacked by an immortal. Piece of cake.
So, she'll be hanging back, positioning herself behind someone who looks like they might need some help, just in case she has to do a last second grab to keep them out of the lava.]

If I die here, tell no one.
[And by no one, he means Arthur. He stamps on it a couple of times before putting his weight on it. And slowly stepping across. So far so good.]

[But he watches, very carefully]
Keep your arms out for balance!

[He wipes his own sweat, glancing back over to watch the others]

If I take this off while we wait, can you help me put it on later?

No! Keep your shirt on!

All right- but just the hauberk!
