Round 50

As Silra secured her position near the anchor point, Jeane met her gaze directly across the collapsing bridge, the rusted key pulsating with increasing intensity. The air was heavy with the weight of their precarious situation, the creaking bridge groaning in protest beneath Jeane's feet. She stumbled, her balance precarious, and the arcane energy surrounding her fingers began to falter.

Jeane's eyes locked onto Silra's, a sense of urgency etched into every line of her face. "We have seconds remaining," she warned, her voice steady despite the exhaustion threatening to overwhelm her. The figure on the bridge shifted its position, taking a step closer to the edge of the chasm, and Silra's gaze followed it with calculated precision. Jeane's hands trembled as she raised them, arcane energy crackling around her fingers in a desperate bid for defense against the increasing pressure from beneath.

The rusted key remained visible, its vibrations intensifying with every passing moment, casting an ominous glow over the bridge. Silra's teal eyes narrowed, tracking every subtle shift in the figure's defensive positioning, as Jeane's grip on the unholy symbol tightened despite exhaustion threatening collapse. "This is textbook containment," Jeane muttered to herself, "whoever orchestrated this wanted us trapped inside Gravehill before our response window closes completely according to Silra's reading." The air was thick with tension as they waited for the inevitable, the bridge creaking ominously beneath their feet.
