Go down the right hand path, rolling the string behind me. Drag Golden Star along.
"Golden Star, let us take the path less travelled!" Threnody leads the way, humming a funeral dirge.

Well, this is exactly what I took the ball of string for. Follow the string and return from where we came, we might find the rest in the way back. If we don't find anyone, continue following the string until the entrance of the labyrinth.
DON'T let myself be dragged deeper into the labyrinth without the rest of the team. Use speed to avoid the grab.
Name: Golden Star
Description: A black mask with a big and very bright golden star covering the frontal part of it. It comes with a black martial arts Gi with a golden belt. The suit also includes a golden cape with a star pattern that is always waving in the wind, even indoors.
Gimmick: Superstar [3]: The iconic suit is exactly the same as the one used by the superhero protagonist in the global hit movie "Star of Justice". It's unique appearance not only attracts more fans and extra acclaim from the masses when doing heroic and noncombat actions, but also increases acclaim won from teamwork and group achievements, always slightly more than what the rest gets.
Weakness: Fight? [5]: Wait, you mean REAL fighting? Golden Star doesn't know how to perform any type of attack but basic punches, and these are even weaker than those of a normal human. He's incredibly weak in strenght and terribly unskilled in combat, with a high tendency to self-injury.
Signature: Punch of Justice! [5]: Golden Star calls upon the power of every single fan around the universe and uses all of their strenght for a single, ultimate attack. He punches the enemy with the strenght of a thousand suns, completely obliterating everything in it's path. The attack deals massive damage to anything it connects with and destroys anything it collides with. It takes some time to wind up, leaves the user exhausted and it's destructive potential doesn't discern between ally or enemy.

Golden Star sees whats happening and attempts to run for it. But Threnody knows the proper way to motivate a man and proceeds to grab Golden star by the testicles and drag him down the right hand path. Threnody hums a rather dreary tune but its rather drowned out by Golden Star's screams and squeals.
"WHY?! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?! WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP DOING THIS?!"
Thankfully the right path doesn't go far before it dead ends in another circular room, this time without any further exits.
"Err... I bet there are spider combs in the cat combs. See, cats sometimes have spiders on them, so if you're combing a cat you also want to comb the spiders. Therefore, there are spider combs in the catacombs. Let's go back in." Head back inside. Stay away from Hero without being too obvious about it.

HAP gently smacks a fist into his open palm, rpobably squishing a dozen spiders in the process.
"Good Thinking, Ninja! Who knew how versatile cat combs could be?"
HAP follows Graceful Ninja back into the underground, once again shaking cat toys and calling out 'kitty kitty kitty' and sometimes 'puss puss puss.
Description: a white mask, with black around the eyeholes and scowly eyebrows.

Inventory:
You get a cardboard box of cat toys, brushes, snakes and similar.
You return to the room where the horse fight took place. Golden star and Threnody are nowhere to be seen but the string is going to the right and you can hear screaming down that way.
Rosa shuddered at Hero's ignorance to the SPIDERS ON HIS EYEBALLS. As she walked, then, she found herself thinking about spiders. She had only acquired this mask a few days ago... It seemed to have a spider motif. So perhaps she could ally herself with spiders? Only one way to find out!
Stay with the group, attempt to talk to spiders on Hero's eyeballs.
NAME: Rosa Arana
DESCRIPTION: A lean woman, dressed in a tight red suit with black accents. Her cape is base red, with a black hourglass centered on it. Her mask has 3 black dots by each of her eyes, like additional eyes, as well as white fangs under her mouth.
GIMMICK [3]- Dirty Fighting: Rosa, at any time, can do some un-sportsman-like maneuver, and invoke advantage on her combat roll. However, anything that happens because of this earns her NO Acclaim.
WEAKNESS [2] - Dark Side's Allure: Rosa fights dirty because she comes from that kinda shady background. She's sworn off her earlier evil ways, but whenever someone offers her a chance to betray... Well, it's kinda a little hard to say no.
SIGNATURE [1] - Hidden Weapon: Rosa pulls out a weapon from somewhere, and just starts beating people up with it. Attacks made with this weapon automatically fall under Rosa's Gimmick, and have advantage, but earn no Acclaim. "Weapon," in this case, means a metal chair, a knife, brass knuckles, that kinda stuff. Any weapon created by this Signature did not exist before now, and could not have been detected in any way.

NAME: Maria Sangre
DESCRIPTION: A lean woman, with a light tan and a spattering of scars. Her hair is dark red down to the middle of her back, her eyes are rusty brown, and something generally seems untrustworthy about her. Outside of the suit, she wears tank-tops and jeans, in red, black, brown, and white.

"So uh...hows it going?"
HAP turns to you, apparently thinking you're talking to him and not to the arachnids occupying his head.
"Oh, just fine. How are you, new friend? Do you want a hug? I would say you look like you want a hug, but I can't tell. Because I have spiders on my eyes. Aw heck, I'll give you a hug anyways. Now, could you please scream so I can figure out where you are? Make sure to scream loud, there are spiders in my ears too!"
