"... It's getting darker." Corrinne stated as they descended the stairs to the next floor. "I know we're probably deep underground now, but still... Brr... And it got colder..." The manakete's mostly-bare legs did not appreciate the falling temperatures. "I hate that my pants vanished..."
"It's definitely darker and colder... I can only imagine it will worsen from here." As it was, Kaze was relying on the light from the torch Azura carried to pick up smaller details. "... We're here. The descent was longer than before." And before them stood another door.
"I'm not sure why, but I'm feeling confident about these next floors... Maybe the way to the west is after this?" Felica drew her Flame Shuriken, creating a small patch of light.
"Hopefully Felicia's right. Alright, let's go." Corrinne nodded, and pushed open the doors...

As they entered, they could hear the clopping of hooves on stone... there was a group of cavaliers in the room, all armed with swords.
Corrin grasped Yato, looking over the group standing across from them. "...They don't look like they're very stable."
"Look at the floor," Silas said, pulling his lance out. "I'm not surprised they're unsteady." With a glance to the side, the Paladin dismounted his horse, grimacing a bit as he stood on the ground. "I'm not going to risk it, myself." He looked at Franz, the horse waiting by the door they entered through. "...Ready?"
"Let's go," Azura said. "I'm prepared."

"I'm kind of scared..." As they moved, the ground below seemed to crack. Corrinne made a small gulping sound. "Everyone, try not to move around too much. Brother, let's not transform unless absolutely necessary..." As it was, the manakete moved slowly and cautiously on the slowly crumbling floor.
Although awkward, as Felicia moved lightly on her heels, the ground barely moved. "It seems as though I'm not setting it off as much...?" The petit maid aimed a Flame Shuriken at one of the cavaliers, tripping the horse up. "I still wouldn't try it, though..." A steel shuriken came from somewhere to the sides. "Wait, enemies in the wall?!"
"No, the walls seem quite solid." The green-haired ninja seemed to be clinging to one of the hard walls. "Ah, Lord Corrin... Do take care. The floor seems damaged where you are about to run..."

"What? I- AUGH!" Corrin had only taken a few steps onto the floor as Kaze spoke... and the ground gave way beneath him, the manakete falling through, a dull thud audible from the floor below. "...Oww... I'm okay..."
(You fell through the floor. You really should be more careful.)
Azura grimaced as Corrin shouted from below. "We better get through this room quickly and meet back up with him." She spun her naginata around, taking a careful step forward to fight one of the cavaliers.

"... Well, that sounded painful." Corrinne grimaced as she took a stance, parrying a charging cavalier's blade, ultimately kicking the sword out of its hand as it dissolved. "You may want to lose some weight, brother."
Felicia couldn't help but roll her eyes a bit. "Lady Corrinne... Maybe we can save the dieting jokes for later..." She tossed another Flame Shuriken at a cavalier, and it too dissolved.
"Hmm..." A greenish blur sped around the room, a pattern appearing across the floor, as a third cavalier was struck with swift speed. "I've marked the unstable areas." Kaze stated, holding what appeared to be the attacked cavalier's sword. "Try not to step on them as we go... I can hear fighting down below..."

Silas moved carefully to avoid the unstable flooring, fighting with his lance. "I hope Corrin's going to be okay..."
They could faintly hear a shout of "I could use some help down here!" from the floor below, before the sound of clashing swords.
Fortunately, it didn't take too much longer for the group to wipe out the blade-wielding cavaliers with the weapons they had.
[Pit of 100 Trials: Floor 32]
As they arrived in the next room, Corrin was in the middle of dueling a Samurai, his blade parrying a thrust from the swordfighter. "Haah! Glad you could join me!"

"At least it wasn't mages?" Corrinne said, before joining her brother. "You need to go on a diet, brother. Even Silas isn't breaking the floors." her teasing smile could be heard as she spoke, and lunged at a Samurai with an arm-turned-lance. "You won't stop me!"
"Lady Corrinne..."
"I'm sorry about the weight joke, Kaze, but..." Crack.
"That wasn't what I was talking about..."
"Huh?" As her arm connected with the Samurai and the spectral fighter dissolved, the ground below the Manakete gave way. "Oh, de- AHHH!!!" After a few seconds, there was a crashing sound, followed by a "Ow, ow, ow. Pain."
[You fell through the floor again. What did we tell you about being careful?]

"...You have no idea how tempted I am to crack a joke back at her. I'm not going to, but I'm tempted."
Silas just sighed, shaking his head. "I'm not breaking the floors because I'm being careful and staying unmounted." The Paladin thrust his lance through the skull of a Mercenary, joining Corrin on the frontlines.
Azura just knelt down by the broken floor tile. "Are you okay down there, Corrinne? What's in that room?"

Kaze kept to the walls, shaking his head. "I'm afraid we'll break our legs before we get there..." Still, he tossed shuriken, and the dangerous spots were marked again.
"It doesn't seem to be as... breaky for me?" Felicia said, although trying to avoid the unstable regions. She maintained a safe distance from the enemy as she tossed shuriken. "I'm concerned about our staff situation, personally."
From below, there was a flash of green wind, followed by a yelp and the sound of blades clanging. "Raider Katana! Disrobing Gale! Tell Kaze to get his arse down here and steal these!"

"We're on our way!" Corrin kicked one of the remaining Samurai away before Azura impaled the last one. "There we go... let's hurry!"
As they reached the next floor, Corrin gestured to Kaze. "She wants one of those Disrobing Gale tomes if you can manage to snag one, Kaze... having a bit of magic would be useful, I think.
Jakob flung his Barb Shuriken at the nearest mage, the soldier dissipating as the weapon stabbed into his neck. "I'll be very happy if we run into more staff-users down the line..."

"Ah, I believe you will not be needing this where you are going?" As the mage began to dissolve, Kaze grabbed the tome from its hand, the green book appearing in Corrinne's hand, Not too long after, as a Samurai fell to Silas' lance, the green-haired ninja claimed its weapon.
"Ah, thank you, Kaze." Corrinne sheathed her Yato and flipped open the tome. "It's been awhile, but... Say goodbye to your clothes!" There was a wooshing noise, and a blade of air tore through the room, tearing through a second Samurai in a single burst. "I've still got it!"
Felicia's headdress had been blown off, and the Maid ducked, tossing a shuriken at her opponent. "Careful, milady... You almost got us, too..."
"Uh, whoops. Sorry?"

Corrin sighed softly. "I'm just glad we have some magic with us again. That'll be useful..." He carefully ducked a swing of a katana before returning a thrust in kind, felling another Samurai.
Jakob jumped up, throwing a shuriken and felling one of the remaining samurai, though he didn't quite notice where he'd landed... one loud crack later, and the Butler had fallen down a floor.
[Seriously, you're going to break your legs at this rate. Be. More. Careful!]

"Ouch... That sounded painful..." Corrinne winced at the butler's fall, although a blast of air jolted her back to reality with a yelp. "Good thing we don't use axes or bows, I guess... Though I must remember to pants Takumi once we meet back up."
There was a flash of green, and more marked floor. "Let's not do that again, shall we?" Kaze seemed to be remaining attached to the wall, clearly not eager to take a plunge through the floor.
Felicia kneeled before the hole in the floor, glancing down. "Hey, Jakob, did you break anything? ... Um, what's down there?"

"...The only thing wounded is my pride, Felicia. I see enemies wielding Dual weaponry. I'll be fine for a little while, but please hurry. I don't fancy fighting a small force by myself."
Corrin grimaced, before nodding. "Let's... hurry up and get down to the next floor."
He wasn't particularly looking forward to risking falling again.

"... I'll meet you on the way down." Taking a moment to blast a Samurai out of her way, Corrinne made her way to the staircase. "Jakob! Hang on, I'm coming!"
[Corrinne has left the building. Or at least the floor. At least you took the stairs this time, idiot."
"Good thing I, ah, borrowed this..." As a Steel Shuriken was tossed, Kaze examined a Dual Shuriken. "Don't know what's gotten into me..."
"I know the Tomebreaker art, and I think Jakob figured it out too, so... Why don't we handle this, milord, milady?" Felicia's Flame Shuriken buried itself into the last mage.
