Matt woke up, groggy and dizzy. Whatever could it have been that knocked him out? All he remembered was a weird, sickly smell; the world spinning, and then...nothing. How long had he been out? An hour? More? His body felt stiff from having been laying on the ground for so long.
Slowly getting to his feet, he called out his partner's name.
"Anais? Ms Mayfield? Hello? Hello?!"
No reply.
"I swear -- if this is a joke... I'm spooked, okay? It's okay now! Come out!" His cries became more and more desperate and his face grew paler and paler. "Anais! Come out, dammit! I'm not alone, right? I'm not alone, right?!" Matt waited a few more seconds for an answer, but never got one.
He swore.
"No. No... No...! No! No! Calm down, Matt! Everything's going to be okay! You're alone, but Anais wouldn't just leave you. This means she might be in trouble. You have to find her!" His voice trembled as he held himself, trying to stabilise his mind. The darkness in the distance glared at him, judging his weakness. "This is all your fault! You're such a dumbass, Matt! This is why no one likes you -- you're useless. You told yourself that you'd protect anyone you adventured with, but look! You couldn't even stay conscious to do your freaking job!" "No, I'm not useless! It's not my fault I was knocked out! I can...! I can...!" "See? You can't even finish your sentence. You're so pathetic." "...I'll prove you wrong!" The boy put on his backpack again and took a trembling step towards the darkness, then another. Moving forward, he... oh, who was he kidding?
"...I'm sorry, Anais! I promise I'll come back for you! I'll get help!" He turned tail and sprinted away like the coward he was.

Still burning torches line the walls, each tightly wound hallway managing to look exactly like the last. Further down the hall, there's a loud click, and then a weird, indescribable sound shortly after. It's loud, loud enough to hurt a normal person's ears, but fades quickly into another one. The next sound sounds like something dissolving into water, and then quickly dissolving into steam. Sure enough, as the explorers continue forward, there's an obvious spike trap in the floor. It likely had been triggered just moments ago by a monster as the lingering effects of some kind of steam is still in the air. It means that, not only is the trap now obvious enough to easily avoid, but the construction of it is also easy to see and analyze.

Matt heard ominous noises coming from in front of him and stopped in his tracks, now unsure of what to do. His heartbeat rang in his ears -- was that breathing coming from him or something else? What could he do, what could he do?! The danger seemed like it would be in front of him rather than behind him, though... Where to go, where to go?!
A room appeared to the left - yes! He could escape! Nothing seemed to be coming out of there, so Matt ran right in after taking a quick pic of the trap; he could sell it, right? Info sure was coming in abundantly today... No! He had to get out of here alive and get Anais help! He would definitely return to the surface -- but which way was it? ---

Still burning torches line the walls, each tightly wound hallway managing to look exactly like the last. In one hallway, there's a small staircase. Large enough that some people might feel a little winded using them, but not so large that most people would feel the need to rest after. They're very pretty and unusually ornate compared to the rest of the dungeon. There are patterns carved into them that look like trees, clouds, and floating islands.

Matt hovered between the staircase and the way he came - which way to go? Which one would lead to the exit? The staircase might be an illusion -- or it might be the way out. What to do, what to do...?
Matt decided to take the risk and advanced in the way he thought might lead somewhere, hoping he might bump into Anais. Move: RightSkill: Careful Help (Target: Matt)

Still burning torches line the walls, each tightly wound hallway managing to look exactly like the last. There's nothing unusual looking about this hallway to the casual observer. Every wall has cracks in it, some deeper than others. There's one wall in this hallway that has cracks that are just a little bit deeper than usual. As the explorers pass through it, a small portion of the corridor turns 90 degrees, floor and all, changing the path for a portion of the group and sealing the path so they can't easily join back up.

"Whoa!" Suddenly, the world was spinning and Matt was shaking. What was going on? The grinding of gears and the rumbling of stone made him sick to his stomach as he tried to keep his balance, the world outside visibly shutting itself off from him. There was no going back - only forward now. The halls still burned with the same familiar torches, but now Matt felt a lot gladder for their light. If this had happened in the dark...
Matt could only imagine how much more horrifying it all would have been. He needed to get out of here before more things showed up! Some light seemed to be shining from the right - was that the way out?
Matt ran towards it, sprinting with all his might. Perhaps Anais had already made her way out by now - Matt had been wandering these halls for at least 2 hours, as it seemed. He needed to make a note to himself to bring a watch next time...

Still burning torches line the walls, each tightly wound hallway managing to look exactly like the last. Some monsters in the jungle are huge, but some are small, almost too small to be seen. This creature could easily be mistaken for a very small fly, only it doesn't seem like it can keep the same shape for more than a few seconds and is constantly shifting like puddle of ink. It doesn't seem like it can do much on its own, but it can easily fly into peoples' ears undetected and imitate their allies voices to try to lure that person away from the group.

"Matt...I'm here...find me..." "Anais?!" Matt thought he could hear Anais' voice call out in his ear, but was it really hers? It sounded like it was coming from up ahead... he ran towards it, faster than ever now. His lungs were burning, but he was sure that he could make it in time to find her if he was quick enough! He ran with all his might, breath coming out in pathetic pants. He needed to get out! He needed to make sure she was okay! He had to keep following her voice!

Still burning torches line the walls, each tightly wound hallway managing to look exactly like the last. The hallway coils around in a spiral, making the trek through it long and tedious. To add insult to injury, once it looks like the explorers are about to reach the end and might be able to continue the expedition, the wall turns, forcing them through the spiral corridor again. --- Exhaustion trap was not bypassed. The party loses 20 energy Hazard was not bypassed, no loot gained Total loot so far: 97 The party has 0 energy No one is injured The expedition is over The party has run out of energy. This expedition has ended. Everyone has 97 loot to spread around to their personal GLORY, Industry, the Surveying Association, and/or Science!

Endlessly Matt ran, following the voice he heard echoing down the corridor until he heard no more. Was it all a trick? An elaborate ruse the maze had created just to mock him? Only time would tell... And it did. His sprint slowed to a run, his run slowed to a jog, the jog slowed to a walk and eventually Matt just couldn't go on anymore... he lay against the walls, the torches' endless crackling a more welcome sound than the deafening roar of his own thoughts... There was no helping it. Matt was exhausted and couldn't muster the strength to search for his partner any longer. With any luck, she had already made it out... He followed the light from the surface and burst into sweet, sweet freedom... Even the air was fresher out here. He sat against a tree with large, delicious looking fruits, absentmindedly munching on one as he decided to pull out his phone to call Anais. Now that he could get signal, he could check if she was alright. ---- I'd like 17 loot to go to science, and the rest to go to Matt, please.
