Talitha turned to the friends expectantly. "Well, I'm guessing you don't want your little friend facing any more deadly challenges, do you? So come on, what's the answer?"
Moira answered nervously. "Just a minute, we need to think."
"Wrong!" Talitha chimed, clapping her hands. "Begin the next challenge!"
"Wait, what?" Yelled Luke.
Talitha smiled sweetly. "You answered, it was wrong, Cat pays."
"That was not our answer!" Luke shouted
"Okay, no one talk unless you have an actual answer!" Said Lindsay. "It's fixed that way to make it easier to loose."
Nine more guesses later and Cat was seriously flagging. She had fought creatures she hadn't even known existed, had won by fluke most of the time and was pretty sure her elbow wasn't supposed to be that colour.
She limped up to the stands, looking up at Talitha. "What's next?" She croaked. "What are you going to throw at me next?"
Talitha grinned evilly. "Depends on your friends answer, doesn't it?"
The others were at the point of screaming.
"There is no answer, is there!" Screamed Lindsay.
Moira joined in "You've fixed it so we can't win! You're going to condemn her whatever we guess!"
"Now that wouldn't be very sporting, would it?" Talitha simpered. "Tell you what, just to show how fair I am, I'll let you have until the end of this challenge to make one final guess."
Cat heard something move behind her. She wasn't even scared anymore, mostly just tired, as she turned around to face it.
Her jaw dropped. She'd seen many weird things over the course of the game, but this took the biscuit.
A giant three headed dog with a lions mane and a nest of snakes for a tail.
Cat gulped nervously. "Uh, guys? I would really appreciate an accurate answer right now. Or a weapon!"
