[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!]

Well.. mm, I think so too, but it's also a sword, so maybe we'll have to do something that requires strength?

But if it's too much harder, we'll get stuck on the puzzles.

We've got three geniuses right here! What could possible go wrong?

I'm not exactly big or strong.

But you're strong where it counts!

Plus, I don't think it's gonna be literal feats of strength.

[BUT EASY]

Hmmm...

Plus, it's the quickest way to the exit!

Are you up for it?

It doesn't seem like the best choice, but it's okay.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you guys.

[holds out a fist towards her, LET'S FISTBUMP]

[jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

[. . . g-geniuses]

My concern is. . . if we get hurt. . .

I don't think there'll be anything painful. Just think of who's running it.

[you told me he scared you into coughing fits]

. . . . Mmm, if you say so. Okay. . . the right door then? With the sword?

[to be fair once he did that he apologized and fretted over her like a mother hen]

Did you see the cute burgers he made? How could he be a bad guy? [SAYS THE GIRL WHO WAS CLAIMING HE KILLED HER....]

Are you up for it? [no pressure man]

I'd be alright with it! ... we'll have to ask our partner here, too.

[nods]

I'm asking her.

And don't worry, no matter what, I'll protect you guys! [pumps noodle arm HOW REASSURING]

. . . thanks. [m-my manliness. (what manliness)] I'll do the same for you.

[you're the biggest one in this room]

[that's gotta count for something, right?]

[holds out her fist towards him]

[i'm the biggest one in this room we're so fucked]

[. . . fistbumps!]

.. we could always turn back if it ends up being too hard for us?

Is that allowed?

I don't see why it wouldn't be, it'd just have us lose more time..

But what would you prefer?

If it's that much easier, we'd prob'ly be going faster in there.
