TAKSHAKA

[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!]

Ugh.

Listen--! Maybe we'll find something important if we clean this place up.

It's too hard to see here...

--fine. I suppose there's no point if he doesn't know how to keep the place tidy on his own.

A haunted house, huh? It sure terrifies me how poorly-kept this place is.

[once he's been persuaded to stop cleaning]

Let's have a look around. These designs are probably important.

I'm sure that will make Knut very happy, so stop cleaning for now.

[ waves the torch. ]

Let's get a better look at the doors now that we have this.

Sparrow, since you have the light--

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

A puzzle? Like something out of a video game...I see. So that's what he meant by a "quest."

[thinks about it for a moment, then heads over to one of the missing tiles and tries to slide the tile next to it into its place]

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

...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. ]
