RATATOSKR & OMETOTCHTLI

[soulping]

[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!]

Re: ROOM 3

[horsefacing]

Now, about this gigantic room... I asked Reyson to scout from the air to get an idea of the room, but what else can we do?

Re: ROOM 3

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Probs assume there's a cat around.

Figure out what has a cranny we can get through.

Re: ROOM 3

[horsefacing]

You think the door is to obvious to be an exit? Maybe we can slip under a crack in it or something.

It's a really big room to search, but Zelos mentioned a fruit slice we should look for. I think he and Reyson are on it though so we might want to work on the exit.

Re: ROOM 3

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

It's waaaay too obvious to be an exit. Though that could be the genius of it.

I suppose if they're looking, we could make a dash and see what comes out. Since we're used to fighting bigger things.

Re: ROOM 3

[horsefacing]

A dash? I agree with moving quickly, but we should know where we're going. Is the door our goal? Or is there a better route to take?

Re: ROOM 3

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

At present? Straight shot to the door is probs the best move overall.

Re: ROOM 3

[horsefacing]

Okay then, let's do it!

Re: ROOM 3

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Nods, facing the door.] On three.

One.

Two.

Re: ROOM 3

[horsefacing]

Three! [AND THEY'RE OFF]

Re: ROOM 3

[soulping]

[YOU DRAMATICALLY RACE ACROSS THE ROOM TO THE DOOR WHILE CHASE SCENE MUSIC PLAYS IN THE DISTANCE

And then you arrive, possibly slightly winded. Literally nothing happened.

You now stand in front of the door! On your way across the room you may have noticed that you passed a TV, a recliner, and a desk, the latter of which is right next to the door. Underneath it is - surprise surprise - a cat bed. But it's empty...for now.]

Re: ROOM 3

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[KNEW IT.]

[Okay, first thing's first. Does it seem possible to just slip out underneath the door?]

Re: ROOM 3

[soulping]

[Possible? Mmmaybe. Probable, or particularly fun? No. And Reyson definitely won't be able to make it with those wings.]

Re: ROOM 3

[horsefacing]

The door looks like a stretch at best unless we find actual keys somewhere. And I'm thinking we don't want to be here when the giant cat gets back...

[but doesn't that make it the perfect place to hide something??? kilo sneakily endeavors to investigate the cat-bed/under desk area]

Re: ROOM 3

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Damn. Oh well, of course it wouldn't be easy.] Yeah, and I dun think Reyson will manage. So either door open, r other way.

[Approaching the cat bed and she's looking for any toys in particular, especially catnip.]

Re: ROOM 3

[horsefacing]

[looking at the rest of under the desk and around it, in part to keep a watchful eye out for a cat]

Re: ROOM 3

[soulping]

[The cat bed is pink and fluffy and looks pretty cozy. The name stitched on the side proclaims that it belongs to 'Angel'. Inside there's a plastic ball with a bell inside and a felt mouse. If you sniff it, it does seem like there's catnip inside.

There's a trashcan against the wall on one side of the desk, but not much else.]

Re: ROOM 3

[horsefacing]

Trashcan? No way I'm climbing that.

[looking over at the others] Roxy! Did you find something useful in the catbed?

Re: ROOM 3

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Excellent! How big is this felt mouse compared to me? Also looking over this bell.]

I found somethin' with catnip. Should distract Angel when she comes a'callin.

Re: ROOM 3

[glorifiedtrash]

[Hi you're sneaking but he's just flying over to land next to you.]

Yo. Wanna give me the thing you found in the last room?

Re: ROOM 3

[horsefacing]

[interjecting from a little ways over] Hey! When you have a second I need you to fly up and see if anything is inside this trash can? Unless you guys are onto something more important.

Re: ROOM 3

[glorifiedtrash]

The trash can...? How common do I look? Sure. [Flying up to look at the inside of this so called trash can.]

Re: ROOM 3

[soulping]

[Luckily there's nothing gross inside, just a bunch of crumpled up paper, candy wrappers, and some paperclips.]

Re: ROOM 3

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Oh, sure. [Grey bottle smashing goes here.] You two need any help with the tech stuff? I saw a TV.

Oh, and we will need another way out, Reyson isn't getting out under the door.

Re: ROOM 3

[glorifiedtrash]

[Taking the piece.]

There's a...thingamjig on the couch. [Has no idea what a cellphone is okay.] Dunno about Reyson. He did find the second piece. Think there might be something in here to make us big?

Re: ROOM 3

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

There is a good chance. That totes be B-list movie. Can you take me to the thingamjig? I have our defense against cats.
