Crete
The five man band that entered the labyrinth of madness that Deadlus constructed was now trapped under it, in a place that was leaked cursed water
Eoontaq: So now what guys?
Darsah: Well this cursed water reminds me of something I saw during my horticultural studies
Spade: Which was what?
Darsah: This water was used by a church in Guadlajara, Mexico to grow what they called "Fruits of The Beast", which were plants that were primarily demonic in origin
Spade: And how is that relevant?
Darsah: I guess it's not?
Sahu: Well maybe we can use these puddles of cursed water to grow us protective shields?
Darsah: Plants don't grow that quickly
Sahu: Oh right I forgot
Spade: Either way we're in this damn mess without a real way out
Centus: I believe I see a solution
Spade: I'd LOVE to hear it
Centus: Eoontaq?
Eoontaq: Yes?
Centus: Direct the flow of the water so it leads out of the labyrinth,
Eoontaq: Oh, I see
Eoontaq makes the water flow in a curve, showing the party the way forward
Darsah: I didn't expect that to work
Eoontaq: Me neither, considering that I don't know where the exit is
Spade: Well I'll be damned
Sahu: Great, now let's leave
Suddenly a rustling is heard as members of Sinners Sextant emerge from farther down the tunnel
Spade: Oh it's that time of the day
Sahu: Ghice really wants to see us dead huh
Begin Labyrinth Underbelly
When you're 10% of the way out
Darsah: So why does this island have a Labyrinth so large?
Centus: It was built to contain an abomination known as The Minotuar, a monstrous beast that would devour those it came across?
Sahu: So where is the Minotuar now?
Centus: Myself and another Centennial named Theseus slayed it
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
Eoontaq: Theseus was a Centennial?
Centus: All the famous ancient heroes of Greece were

Spade: I hate the way Ghice will do anything for a profit
Sahu: Well, that's just their MO nothing we can do about it put them in the dirt
Centus: Spade, you're embittered attitude towards Ghice can only lead you down one road
Resume
When you're 30% of the way out
Darsah: Cultivated cracks on the ground, the water chips at the structural integrity of the Labriynth, this marvel of ancient architecture still stands the test of time even through it's decay
Centus: If this labyrinth was sentient it would be calling out for death
Darsah: Are you projecting?
Centus: Who knows….
Resume
When you're 40% of the way out
Sahu: I'd say the most impressive thing about Sinners Sextant is that they seem to really know their stuff. They must have well informed backers and associates
Darsah: A powerful bunch huh
Eoontaq: Perhaps no more powerful than us
Sahu: I wouldn't exactly say the Century Corps have a far reach
Eoontaq: We're a worldwide organization, I'd say that's quite far
Sahu: Sometimes you can't go far enough
Resume
When you're 50% of the way out, a large crash is heard from the back
Spade: We got company…
Agent Weaforth appears with a gaggle of Department X goons
Weaforth: Hello Century Corps
Sahu: Here to nab the portal battery?
Weaforth: Yeah
Darsah: I regret to inform you that is something we can allow
Weaforth: Oh well, I'll just kill ya
Centus: Well at least we can agree on something
Fight against Agent Weaforth
When he is at 50%
Weaforth: Ya know every second you spend fighting me is another second Ghice has to grab the battery
Centus: You can consider this as elimination of competition then
Weaforth: Ooooh I'm so scared
Eoontaq: This must be what they referred to as "Sarcasm" in the text books
Resume
When he is at 10%
Weaforth: Wait hold on…I don't feel so good
Centus: Side effect of wounds sustained from the fight I imagine?
Weaforth: I will not let this place become my tomb.. I WILL NOT
Sahu: We can't let you live
Resume
When you finish the fight, Weaforth attempts to flee but Centus cuts off his legs
Weaforth (In Agony): AAAAAAH, YOU-YOU-YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE ME HEEEERRRREEEEE
Centus: All is fair in love and war
Sahu: Alright, let's go
The Century Corps move to leave
Weaforth: COME BACK AND FINISH ME…..FINISH ME OFF YOU COWARDS
Weaforth is left to bleed out on the floor surrounded by dead agents
Resume Labriynth Underbelly
When you're 60% of the way through
Eoontaq: So why did we leave Weaforth back threre?
Sahu: Time saver
Eoontaq: Gotcha
Resume
When you're 70% of the way there
Spade: Centus, you seem to be kicking yourself more than usual
Centus: My kill count is in the hundreds of thousands, I am history's most reviled serial killer, I am an immortal instrument of destruction and war. Am I allowed to lament each death I cause on my warpath? Am I allowed to feel empathy? What gives me the right to stand beside you?
Spade: Listen, you carry the weight of a million sorrows, you may be a monster but you're also a victim of the cruel world we live in
Centus: I've got no right to claim I'm a victim
Spade: But you do, you do

When you're 80% of the way there
Darsah: I feel like we might be too late
Eoontaq: Then we better hurry up
Darsah: I can't run
Eoontaq: I'll carry you then
Resume
When you're 90% of the way there
Spade: When we see Ghice again, I'm going to bury them in here
Sahu: I bet you will
Spade: I'm ready to put this behind me
Resume
When you complete the Labriynth, the party enters a room where Ghice is working on repairing The Second Portal Battery
Ghice: Damn it damn it stupid water damage
Centus: Battery trouble?
Ghice: Yeah the Cursed Water filled the chamber and RUINED it
Eoontaq: Looks like the plan worked
Centus: Indeed
Ghice: Who cares it's fixed now
Spade: Alright Ghice, this is the end of the line
Spade throws their shovel at Ghice but Ghice dodges and begins to flee
Ghice: Enjoy the battery but be warned I'll come back
Ghice escapes through the top of the chamber
Sahu: Well let's get this to base, great job everyone
