[ It's time to explore a 2spooky place. Someone better have put the goggles on. ]

Okay, we have six pings, two of which are sixth sense. We also have an ominous warning.

Ah. . .

[he looks thoughtful]

Tag visual, smell, sound and room sixteen. We might lose adrenaline on room sixteen, but I think we're better off safe than sorry. . .

I'm concerned about the sixth sense in room 12, too, though. I have to admit I don't quite trust any sixth sense that isn't at the end of a hallway to be a monster.

The last sixth sense we saw was definitely an item. We know that smell, sound and visual pings are almost definitely monsters, and this one isn't accompanied by any of those. I. . .

[SHEEPISH]

I'm sorry, you're the senior here. I'd just. . . I'd skip tagging that one, myself.

Well, what we know is that traps are smell, sound, and visual, but may also be a false positive... Sixth sense is either an item, or a monster... Well, let's see, at least...

[I wish there was a way to get some more information, but...]

Well, let's trust your instincts here.

My instincts. . . ack!

I don't know how sharp they are, but here's to hoping. . .!

At the very least, they seem to be better than mine in this case.

[GCK]

Not that much better. . . hoo, boy.

This isn't going well... The only reason we survived was sheer luck...

(What was that thing?! Is this game trying to scare us to death-- wait. . .)

With false positives and false negatives, how are we supposed to know what any ping actually means? It turns into a game of pure luck!

Technically speaking, there are no false negatives. It's right in the rules that a sixth sense can mean either an item or a monster. That's why my instinct is to distrust any sixth sense we come across outside of niches: I trust the game's capacity to mess us up over its capacity to help us.

Still, we have to be careful from now on...

You were right. . . I'm sorry. Though it sounds like we tagged an item we shouldn't have tagged, too.

I hope we can make it through the last round.

We got thrown off by the ominous warning, I think. 16 would have been safe to avoid marking if it weren't for that ominous warning.

[That's the worst part, really: We fell for a trap.]

I can't really blame us for falling for that one. What else was the slimy floor supposed to mean?

Atmosphere, I suppose.

We have a sixth sense and sound ping. I'm marking everything.

[We can't really afford not to at this point.]

I think we have to. Any wrong moves from here on out and we're dead.

(I might actually die if we run into another monster like that one.)

Let's play it safe, then.
