"Be careful guys, we don't want to interrupt somene's religious service. If we're quiet, we can probably look around for the cats without bothering any of these weird - I mean 'different' cultists - I mean worshipers.
or, wait, is this a spa? I know people like getting covered in mud and vegetables at spas. This looks like a spa. Is this a spa?"
Making a combination of the Sign of the Cross and a Space Fist salute, HAP cautions his teammates against making too much noise and so disrupting the festivities. He still makes cat noises, says puss puss puss a lot, and waves his feather on a stick toy around.

"We shouldn't make too much noise or draw attention to ourselves" Hap says, carefully casting his fishing pole with some colorful feathers on the end of the line out into the open pit. He then proceeds to make crooning and cooing noises as he slowly lowers the feathered lure right down onto one of the entombed people's heads.
Subtly avoid all spider-wearing people. Then do a double-take about the goo-entombed people.
"Frankly, I really think we should do something about the people."

You look down at the goo'd people. Then you look again, but with more comic exaggeration this time.
OOC: Note made: Can Talk To Spiders.
"Ugh, I know! I may be American, but what do the Britains think they're doing, sending people overseas to start an new country, then expecting to keep a hold on that territory? No, they gave America their freedom the second they colonized it." She then looks around, and notices the weird stuff going down. "Uh, hey, do you know what these horsemen are doing here? Especially with the slimed people?" she whispers to the spider, dropping into stealth mode and slinking away from the slightly loud group.
Simplified: Ask spider about horsemen, stealth away from group.
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.
PHYSICAL STATS
NAME: Maria Sangre

INVENTORY:
Empty. So, so empty.
Special Notes: Can talk to spiders.
You quietly hide in a corner of this circular room and talk to your spider. It says that the Horsemen are in fact Werehorse men and that they are entombing humans to fill them with werehorse man eggs to perpetuate the species.
It is at this point that you ask the spider if he has been reading fanfiction. He replies in the positive but says the two things are unrelated, despite your insinuations. Despite this he keeps looking back and forth and sweating which is quite impressive for someone with non-moving eyes and no sweat glands.
Stealth with the others. Do the humans look healthy? Are the horses any stronger looking than the last?
"Agree, Hero. Let us not interrupttheir spa service."

General health of the humans is hard to say. They don't look obviously sick or injured but you can only really see their heads.
The horsemen look just as big and buff as the last one, but not more so.
Stealthily run past the horsemen from the side, like those ninjas from movies. Make sure to not go too fast to break the string.
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.

You are on the second story of a two story room. This story is basically a circular balcony overlooking a smaller circular room on the first story. To run past them you'd have to drop down into the room with them and then run past. Is that your desire?
