This is going very poorly.
You take a deep breath. There's still time for you to show your stuff!
...which is. Uhhh. Well. You're a time mage. You have hot tea in your inventory still. Is that helpful?? No time to think!
You throw two cups of full tea directly at the spiders, and pull out the teapot while you're at it. The tea... falls short. The spiders are close but your throwing arm is not great.
Chaos' eyes widen as she stares at your actions. "You... you have tea?!"
She snatches the teapot out of your hands and downs the whole thing. It's very impressive!
"Alright! That'll bring my mana back up! Now think of where we're meant to be going, properly this time!!" She closes her eyes and focuses.
You try to explain that maybe Puyon or the magic teacher would be a better locus for this, what with actually knowing stuff. But Chaos is not listening.
So focus!
