GULGALLANA & TIAMAT

[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!]

[ THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: FINDING THE CLOTHES ]

[debate_avenger]

[As for me, I'll be walking the perimeter of the room looking for any other holes in the walls.]

[soulping]

[You make your way around the room, checking the baseboards for any sign of another hole. Almost the entire room is covered without finding anything, and you're just about to give up when you spot it: behind a conspicuously placed trash can, a patch of wall that's been hastily wallpapered over.

[debate_avenger]

[The one that's been wallpapered is at least reasonable to check by myself, so let me just feel around it to see if it's hollow, yes.]

[soulping]

[It is! The paper even gives way a little when you push on it.]

[debate_avenger]

[Then, time for our shoes to come in useful yet again!

...Yes, I am going to try to cut the wallpaper along the edges with the spurs. We're trying not to make a mess, after all.]

[soulping]

[You snip away the wallpaper to reveal another mousehole-like opening! It's been mostly boarded over, but if you find something to use as a lever or crowbar you might be able to get them off.]

[debate_avenger]

[Something to keep in mind for later, then. I suppose I should see if I can slip behind the trashcan too, but I don't have my hopes up for that one.]

[soulping]

[You can, just barely, but it's less interesting back there. You find a quarter and a paperclip.]

[debate_avenger]

[Well, that's all I need to know, then. Back to meeting with the others.]
