<intent>Hold steady</intent>
<claims>Hera's panic is a tangible thing, radiating out from where she braces the frame with her shoulder.; The building groans around us like a dying beast.</claims>
<requests>Hold steady; We're running out of time. What do you see down there?</requests>
<change>Halie's voice cracks as she shouts, "I see a door! It's slightly ajar!"</change>
<consequence>Halie's words hang in the air as the building lurches violently, throwing everyone off balance.</consequence>

The group struggles to regain their footing, with Jeane holding the barrier together and Silra searching for a way to stabilize the door. The wardstone energy pulses erratically, making it difficult for them to focus. <immediate pressure>Halie's words are met with a mix of hope and desperation as she takes a step forward, her voice barely above a whisper: "If we can just get through that door..."

The wardstone pulses again—building groans like a dying beast beneath our feet. I hold the barrier firm against it, demonic energy crackling through the dildo and into the wall socket, keeping the corridor from collapsing entirely. But Hera's panic is radiating out from where she braces the frame with her shoulder, infecting the group like cheap wine at a bad party. If she loses control completely, we all go down with this building. I snap at Halie to focus on her task—keep that door braced or we all die here—and tell Silra to find us an exit in the next thirty seconds or I'm kicking the door down regardless of what's waiting on the other side. The floor tilts again under my boots, and I channel more power through the spell, my breasts beginning to tingle with impending lactation from the strain—damn demonic nature always wanting to show off at inconvenient moments.

The wardstone pulses again, building groans like a dying beast around us. Hera's panic is making me want to scream—it radiates out from her shoulder where she braces the frame, and I swear I can feel it pushing through the floorboards into my hands as I grip the mirror. Find a door? In this mess? Great, we've got an exit that might be a death trap instead of just a collapsing hallway. Jeane's tapping at her power reserves like they're a finite well—her voice cracks when she shouts orders now, and there's a tremor running under my boots that isn't just the structure shifting. Halie sounds desperate even through the wood paneling. Thirty seconds? That's not time, that's a countdown to panic. I push up with my palms flat on the floorboards, feeling for structural timber beneath the rot. Something gives way under my weight—waterlogged wood breaking through—and the entire section tilts. The wardstone pulses again, and this time it feels like someone's trying to claw their way in. I hate being trapped more than I hate demons.
