[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!]

Angel isn't vicious at all! I had a lot of fun playing with her.

[ trying to reach through the bars to give him a reassuring pet. ]

[sputters in shock]

Kind? Friends?? You're kidding, right? She's a monster!

[But he sounds unsure- oh, the persuasive powers of cheese. And they do look uninjured, after all...]

We did not get hurt, and the friendship can be payment for the cheese.

Listen, she is young and gullible. If you start now, you can very easily convince her that she's meant to be your friend instead of your devourer. Then, once the humans see that you get along, you might even get to spend time out of the cage.

Also, we'll give you the cheese.

Give her a chance. Pleeeeeeeeeease?

[ puppy dog eyes...! ]

Please? She really does mean well.

Huh...you really think that would work? I mean, I guess if you guys talked to her and got out okay...

[HMMM]

O...okay. I guess I can give it a shot. But the second she flashes those fangs, I'm calling the whole thing off, got it?

Okay. Fine.

We will tell her no fangs.

That sounds fair.

[ reaching for the cheese to break some off and pass through to the rat. ]

[He eagerly takes the cheese and gobbles it up.] You guys are nuts, you know that? The good kinda nuts, but nuts just the same.

Fair's fair, I guess. That shiny rock you had- how about you take mine? As a show of my thanks.

--Really? Thank you. And, good luck.

!! I'd like that a lot, thank you!

[ clapping her hands happily! ]

Mm, can you open your cage so we can pass the rest of your cheese in?

No, but you can. [he scurries over and shows them where the lock is. It can only be opened from the outside, but you can do it easily. The cheese/copper wedge exchange takes place and you all get ratty hugs. :)]

[ ~hugs~ ]

Thanks! Oh, and do you know how to open the locked door?

[yayyy ratty hugs]

Thanks.

I don't suppose you've got any idea where the key to the door is...?

"Key"? Oh, yo mean that shiny stick the big ones use on the door, right? Ask Angel- I bet SHE knows.

I told you, she's an idiot. A cute idiot. But I'll try it.

Let's go back down! Ready, Wren?

Yeah!

[DOWN WE GO THEN because I have a cat to talk to.]

[Angel is waiting eagerly below to see how the diplomacy talks go!]

Hello, hello! You're still small! Are we friends now?

Yeah. The only thing is, you can't show your fangs, because he is scared of those. But, you can be friends!

Um... we need help with the key, though. Where is it?

Yes, friends! I love to be friends! I will not fang at the small thing if we will be friends, I promise! [SHE LICKS YOU AGAIN.]

Key? What's a key?

It will help us open the door.

[patpat I'm going to regret this later with my allergy]

[purr purr rubs on you, enjoy all that fur.]

The door? Open the door...?

[MEOW]

The door! The shiny stick! Yes, I have it!
