Keith had heard the scream as well and went running. It was rare he was without Kosmo when out on patrol, but he'd given the wolf the night off, leaving him at the house with Snow. Being on patrol, however, he was at least in his Paladin armor.

As he ran towards the building, he drew his bayard, ready to fight if he had to. They stormed in, almost all together at the same time. The floor squished with liquid as Keith stepped in, and he stopped to stare at the comm in Radley's hand.

"What-..." Why would someone do that? Keith felt the hairs on his neck stand on end. "A trap...?"

He looked down. What was on the floor, anyway? But that laugh, and the flash of heat... Keith turned towards the fire in time to see the weird masked figure slam the door on them. He cursed.

Bayard ready, Keith closed the mask on his helmet, intending to slash open the door, but, even with his armor, it was too much flame to get back that way. He turned to the others.

"Go deeper in!" he yelled at them. "Look for another exit!"
