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!]

Just stop.

Fiiiiine.

So, I'm gonna bet a cat is around.

How is that helpful.

We should be aware if something is stalking us.

Fine.

Also look for any windows or holes. Chances are we don't get a straight shot to the door.

Oh, and look for anything with wheels.

All right.

Sweet.

[ sigh, flying up to the table ]

[On the endtable, there's a lamp, a remote control, a paperweight, and an empty, decorative bowl. The kind that you might keep your keys in.

Did I mention it's empty?]

[ ugh technology. Looking over the remote and paperweight ]

[The remote is a blocky grey thing with rubbery buttons. Not too complicated and clearly labeled.

The paperweight an abstract coppery thing, like a wedge out of a sphere. There's absolutely no use for it, but as you look at it you almost get the feeling it could be important...]

[ touching the paperweight ]

[Physically, it's an ordinary paperweight, cool to the touch. But you really, really want to take it with you all of a sudden.]

[ isn't it bigger than me. . . Also I have no strength whatsoever . . . ]

[It's kinda heavy, but still physically smaller than you.

You could always push it off and let your teammates deal with it.]

[ THEN I WILL DO THAT ]

[Expertly done. Let the muscle handle it.

Anything else up here or will you be moving on?]

[ checking the remote again . . . ]

[it sits there innocently, inviting you to push its buttons]

[ pressing one ]

[Congratulations, it's the power button, because of course it is. The tv turns on suddenly, playing some B-list horror movie at an uncomfortable volume!

Changing the channel doesn't help. Every channel is a B-list horror movie.]

That man has no taste.

[ turning it off ]

[:(

what now?]

[ checking that empty bowl one last time ]
