The only warning May got was a sudden flare-up just as the Doctor tripped, and the crashing sound confirmed the direction of the danger.
She was already moving as the Doctor hollered, "TRAP." From the back of the line, she couldn't see Jon and Sam, but she could see the monstrosity of spikes swinging towards the group. She lunged forward, pulling down the person in front of her - Scott? Dean? She wasn't paying so much attention as to who it was as to whether or not they were in the line of the swinging spiked log - just in time as it sailed over their heads. As it passed over them, she jumped up again, hoping to stop the thing before it swung back, maybe grab the vine or rope or cable it was attached to.
But she was too late to stop it from hitting the tree, and was forced to go higher, barely dodging the huge splinters that flew past her. She corrected her flight, grabbing for the cable with one hand (fortunately, it had no spikes) and shooting out a webline with another hand to the nearest tree. Just as she felt the line pull taut, she turned in time to see an incredibly large spike headed for the Doctor. But holding back the log as she was, she couldn't leap to his aid. "Look out!" she shrieked instead, a second before the spike pierced his shoulder.

OOC: Bah. Thunderstorms. More later, I hope.
