soulping | RATATOSKR & OMETOTCHTLI

[You exit the parlor through a doorway in your team's color and find yourself in some kind of entry hall. Aside from the one behind you, there are four doors - one on each of the side walls, and two opposite the entrance - each with an image carved into it. They're a bit hard to make out, however, since only one torch on the far wall is lit, lending the place a gloomy atmosphere. What you can see is that the room, once richly decorated, is now a mess; the walls are covered in peeling, royal purple wallpaper, and great swaths of the ceiling are coated with sticky cobwebs. The floor is covered with large marble tiles, inlaid with some kind of swirling design in glittering gold - but sadly, it too is out of shape. The tiles seem to shift a bit under your weight, and some of them are even missing altogether.

If you try the doors you'll find that all of them are locked, and no amount of manhandling can get them to budge.]

[OOC: This game is a treasure hunt/dungeon crawl! Your characters will be exploring the rooms they pass through and facing different challenges in each one. Some rooms will be exploratory, others will have specific rules! The goal is just to reach the end. Teams will be scored on things like teamwork, cleverness, creativity, etc.

Skills are ON, but there will be penalties if you mess up Knut's castle. He lives here, you know!]

Right behind you Roxy!

[and he's actually acquitting himself well, moving from platform to platform without losing his balance, not staying very long on any one platform, almost as if he expects them to move if he waits]

[ okay then, flying on ahead ]

[zelos has the rear, it'll work out :Db]

[Reyson flies ahead! The final platform has a zipline rigged up above it. The line leads down to the foot of a military-style wall-climb, about ten feet high. From his flying advantage he can see the end of the room past it.]

It seems we're close to the end.

[Zip line. :D :D :D]

[Are there things to use on the zip line?]

[There's a sturdy ring to grab hold of! Gonna go for it?]

[YES]

[As Roxy starts down the line, something small and shiny catches her eye ahead, hanging from a string about a foot off the line. If she moves quickly, she might be able to grab it.]

[Quickly she can do. Kicking her legs forward and slightly to the side and doing an acrobatic pirouette right off the line to grab it.]

[Then try to catch the ring on the way back down, but grabbing the rope is a good close second.]

[She performs a perfect acrobatic pirouette off the fucking handle and sticks the landing, hitting the ground with the object in her hand.

it's a small lump of coppery metal in the shape of a wedge, like a large slice of orange. as far as you can tell it doesn't seem to have any relevance in this room, but you get a strong sense that this is something you should hold onto...]

[Into the sylladex or pocket it goes. Who is she to deny urges to hold onto things.]

[Off to climb the wall!]

[:D Best way to test new physical skill.]

[almost to the final platform] Awesome! This is nearly over then!

[Bringing up the rear like a poke. Might have flailed a bit on some of those platforms before reaching the final one.]

This is just the second room. Let's not get too excited.

[Either he's grabbing whatever there is to zip line down or he's dragging off his coat and twisting it into a roll before slinging it over and going down. Sorry he's cutting the line here guys.]

[doing the same with his jacket once zelos has completed the process] Woah!

[The line leads down to the foot of a military-style wall-climb, about ten feet high. When you've all reached the bottom, start climbing...or flying, I guess.]

[climbing without hesitation] This is nothing to scale at all.

[that's not saying he wouldn't mind his maneuvering gear though]

You're really getting into this aren't you...

[Following, following. God this bites. When he gets to the top he looks over. If his ex spheres weren't blocked he could just jump down sigh... Climbing down the other side!]

[ flying down ]

This is one of the first games I've been in where my skills and memories in any way help me, can you blame me for being excited?

[also climbin' down]

[Once you make it over the wall, you've reached the end of the room! However, there's one last piece to this obstacle course: the only exit in sight is a small tunnel, barely big enough for one person. You'll have to get down and crawl if you want to be able to leave.

See you in room three. :)]

[Catching up.] Crawling, huh?

Oh, hey, keep an eye out for any wedge shapes, I got a thing.

[ he shudders, not pleased about being in an enclosed space ]

You gonna be okay?

Cute. [To Kilo. And shrugging his coat back on.] All right. Eye out for...weird fruit slices. Oh man. I'll catch you guys on the other side.

[Scooting through the tunnel on his hands and knees.]
