they take it. “We gotta get back to the thread!”

Taeidin hesitates, glancing toward the door that Cep and Aeryn went through. 
“Agreed,” he says after a moment, helping Erryin to a different door.

they follow.

[Through The Living Ash he/him]

A group of a dozen or so people wearing dark cloaks and blindfolds bursts through one of the doors. They fan out, forming a circle. Erdikan exits the door last, striding forwards slowly. He extends a mottled grey hand, and a pulsing dark orb streaks out, flying around the room, before coming to a hover before the door that Taeidin and Erryin just went through. Frowning, Erdikan approaches the door, but finds it impossible to open. He extends one finger, pushing a faint stream of shadow through it, and runs it along the edge of the door. It makes a horrible gritting sound as the wood he traces starts to splinter, the door groaning in protest. 

@Keke this is relevant to you.

Unnamed walked through a door, and cursed when a realised the spider was still on his head.

"The first Threadhopping spider," he muttered. He felt for his Connection to the other clones. Lines that only he could see sprang up from his chest. Five of them headed to one door, Battle for the Sandwich, and one to a different, unfamiliar door.

From a door adjacent to him, a horde of thousands of spiders poured out, as if just to prove a point.

Alright Unnamed has arachnopobia at this point

Unnamed first looked to identify the species of these new spiders.

The one on his head is a brown recluse

He is able to identify them all as Sydney Funnel-Webs. They start crawling towards Unnamed, covering the ground in a seething mass.

As a last resort, Unnamed pulled something from his pocket he'd never thought he'd have to use.

He pulled out the Cyanobacteria card from Bios: Genesis. When used on macroorganisms, the red cube stolen is a sensory organ, so Unnamed uses it on the spiders to remove their sense of sight, and then triggers a double oxygen spike. As the home row is Door-Ways, everything in Door-Ways that can breathe suffers from hyperoxia for a few seconds. However, the vision loss only effects the Sydney Funnel Webs, as parasite attacks only work on one species. The brown recluse on Unnamed's head can still see.

The spiders, not needing to breathe, keep advancing on Unnamed using echolocation. Not that he could tell those specifics just from looking at them not stop after using the card. They also start glowing a sickly purple color.

But spiders don't have echolocation

Unnamed rolls for the cyanobacteria's Darwin Rolls. He gets  5, 6, 2, 3, 6 and 6. He sighs as his cyanobacteria goes extinct from mutation errors. He receives two catalysts as compensation.

Unnamed summons metabolic radiation from Bios: Megafauna to get rid of the spiders' echolocation

 magic! 

As one, the spiders halt in their tracks, staring forward with sightless, beady eyes. Then, as if by some silent agreement, they begin moving again, fanning out in all directions to search for Unnamed, though the majority crawl in the direction they were already traveling—towards him. As they move, Unnamed can see that the ground they pass over is left behind molten and crumbling.

Unnamed does his best to dodge them all and make his way towards the Battle for Sandwich door.

As he approaches the door, the spiders seem to somehow sense him as they all turn to face him at once and begin growing in size, small purple motes floating off of them. The few nearest to Unnamed leap at him.

Unnamed throws open the door and dives through.

The spiders form up in front of the door as it slams closed behind him, perfectly motionless. Waiting. 

Mwahahahaha no I just wanted to torture your character

The spider made a hissing sound and clung to his hand, crawling back up his sleeve.

In a flash, the ground reforms, revealing more Doors embedded in the floor.

Ooh I have Kreen 2.0 sleeping here

Uhh hmm

Kreen abruptly woke up as he felt a door open beneath him. He plummeted into another world.

I'll decide where he went later.

the Doors do not open unless the opener wishes them to.

Oh

Ignore that post then

He is still asleep on a door though.

[KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren He/Him]

A door opened, and a figure with a white metal-like thing in his left eye walked through. His other eye was Prismatic.

Renamed felt for the Connection lines, and saw three leading back the way he came, and two more leading towards The Clearing.

He felt again for Connection lines, this time weaker ones. Immediately, the number of lines exploded, but he was able to pick out one in particular. It leaded... to one of the doors in the floor. Renamed frowned, but knelt and opened it, before jumping through.

[Ink and Embers Any pronouns]

Sup I'm dragging over my shapeshifting pigeon from Battle for the Sandwich. He's called Kevin. 

A hatch opens in the ceiling and what initially appears to be a large pile of crumpled clothing falls though and lands on the floor with an oof. A shortish figure in an oversized grey hoodie looks around, perched in a crouch. "Uh... hello?"

[Verdance he/him]

Nomu swings through a door on a key attracted to a ball of yarn like retail Spider-Man. “Weird corner of the Premier Inn,” they say, then open another door where a horde of clay zombie people riding clay zombie horses live.

Staring down at him are a dozen beady eyes, unblinking and glowing with a faint violet hue. A single massive spider—with multiple smaller ones scuttling across its back—was standing intently before the BftS door, waiting, it seemed, for someone to arrive. As it slowly widens its mandibles, a bead of green liquid drops to the floor right next to the new arrival, sizzling as it makes contact.
