[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!]

Sparrow, since you have the light--

Let's have a look at the images on the doors, and on the floor.

Let's check the doors first. There might be a hint on them.

[ bouncing to a sidewall to look at the door there! ]

[in the light you can now make out the fairly simple pictures; from the left to right door, there is a book, a winding road, a foreboding cave, and a sword.]

...Hmm...

[ filing those pictures away and bucking down to investigate literally everything else: every corner and tucked away spot, around the loose and missing tiles and around the doorframes. ]

[the room is basically empty- your teammates have started moving the floor tiles around but there's nothing but dusty ground underneath them. The peeling wallpaper reveals no clues and neither do the doorframes, which appear to be ordinary wood.

but just as you give up, suddenly your light catches off something small and shiny in the corner...]

[ !! making an immediate beeline to the corner and crouching down to get a good look at it. ]

[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...]

[ my memories tell me that i always hold onto things i find, so +1 (one) weird... metal cheese wedge thing, get! ]

What is this thing supposed to be?

Sparrow, we figured it out!

Do you want to do the challenging doors with us?

[ perks up! ]

Coming!
