TAKSHAKA

[soulping]

[When the game starts you find yourselves on a platform. At least this part is pretty relaxing as it's large enough to fit a table with six (or seven) chairs around and that may be the place you want to sit at for now. There's several pieces of parchment laying on the table and a box in the center.

Of course, if you were careful you might want to pay attention to what's before you. Because immediately after the platform is a slide that ends in a pit of water? That turns into a dark forest. In what looks like a mile across is another large platform, presumably the end. Though that's all you can see right now.]

ROUND FOUR

[soulping]

You made it through the jungle...! But your snake friend also seems to get sick along the way. And you may feel he thinks ponies are EVIL. I wonder why that could be... Also, he's getting hungrier

But now that you're through the jungle you're back at more water! But at least this time it seems pretty straight-forward. All you have to do is swing across it on a vine (this one is not a snake, promise).

It's what's on the other side that will be troubling: A wall with no seeming way over it. It's too tall for any grappling hook. But there must be a way, right?

[ oh no snakefriend pet pet pet

we'll get to crossing the water in a moment, but first, checking if there are fish in the water?? or creatures nearby ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[There sure is a yummy fish! Even tiny rats! But your snake is kind of lying uselessly nearby.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

[ DILIGENTLY TRYING TO FIRST CATCH THE FISH AND BRING IT OVER ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[sniff. sniff. food?]

[...it will totally eat in one bite and still look sick. but now it's looking at you expectantly.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

[ well at least she found it food it can eat! ]

Do you want more to eat?

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[hiss]

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

[ ...assuming that is a yes, she will. try to catch some tiny rats and bring them over for the snake to eat.

and pretend the squeaking and possible struggling isn't upsetting SORRY LITTLE RATS BUT SHE PROMISED THE SNAKE FOOD. ]

[I'M TOTALLY HERE PLEASE IGNORE MY ABSENCE IN ALL THIS PAST TIME

is there a way around the wall if not over it]

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[there is! but you'll have to investigate a bit.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[experiencepoints]

[LET'S INVESTIGATING checking the edges of the wall then]

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[It seems in perfectly good shape for a wall in the middle of no where.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[experiencepoints]

[so i probably can't just destroy the wall huh

okay let's just try to. go around the side.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[You could try.

You don't seem to be able to get around the side. Or at least the wall seems to go on forever if you try.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[experiencepoints]

[goddamnit

how short of the top of the wall does our grappling hook fall]

Re: DISCUSSION

[swordedpast]

[totally here. He's poking at the wall, investigating it for loose stones, places that might hide a secret door, or climbing holds.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[Stones toward the bottom shiver slightly!]

Re: DISCUSSION

[swordedpast]

[crouching down to investigate those stones more closely, and also--]

Hey, over here.

[calling to the rest of the team]

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

What is up, Swan?

Re: DISCUSSION

[swordedpast]

It's strange to say, but it looks like the way through may be on the bottom of the wall, not the top.

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

Then why don't we start digging?

Re: DISCUSSION

[pchaaair]

Really?

[barrette]

[ well we downed the wall with the grappling hook, so i guess we're all picking our way over the left over pieces of the wall and moving on.

Sparrow will take a rock or two, if she can. ]
