soulping | EPONA & ALECTRYON

[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!]

M-mad skill... ?

...

Yeah, I think I can reach it, but someone'll have to hold this for me. [he means the torch]

[ Hoists his armful of unconscious rat loli, looking expectantly at Star ]

[holds out good arm for it]

[offers it to her! then.... peering......down over the edge wow that's scary uh]

[JUST. CHECKING. ONE LAST TIME IS THERE ANYTHING ON THE TABLE WE COULD USE]

[ ALSO PEERING... over the ledge...........

heights are a foreign concept when you live in an ocean and the consensus seems to be fuck that ]

If you are not confident you can make it, don't try.

[There's various things on the table- a stack of papers, some pencils and paperclips, a vase, an ashtray, a ring of keys.

There's also a drawer underneath that you could pry open.

But since you took another moment to look around you'll also notice one more little problem: the door is locked.]

Rats.. it's locked.

[gestures to the drawer with the torch hand] Maybe there's something in there we can use.

Rats...

[reaching down to prrrry the drawer open]

[You succeed! Congratulations, the desk is full of tons of random shit. Mostly more papers and various office supplies, like tape, a stapler, and glue, as well as a hardback book, a box of matches and a rubber band ball.]

...Maybe we can use the ball....

[. . . grabbing the set of keys and pushing the drawer out as much as it can without tipping over from his weight, reaching to see if he can fit a key into the door! :|a]

[You can! The drawer is stable enough and reaches far enough that you can get to the lock fairly easily.

However, none of the keys work in the door!]

. . . . shoot.

[LOOKING OVER AT THE PAPERCLIPS. . . . keys you are useless, stand aside]

[sob why can she only stand here with a torch]

...You can't pick locks, can you?

Actually, I can...

[so he's just gonna grab some paperclips to start bending them....]

...No way! You've really got mad skills!

[she'd help but you know]

They're not really impressive, so much as.. odd.

[i'm really thinking maybe i'm a bad guy here ok. but so long as it works. . . . grabbing a bit of tape and taping a few bent paperclips together]

What's not to be impressed about? You've got really cool moves and you can pick locks!

Well—! It's more... why I can pick locks that bugs me. . .

[okay this one seems suitably thick enough, setting it to the side to work on the other one]

Maybe you're a secret agent.

. . . It's some sort of secret, alright.

....A secret spy?

...

Maybe?

[okay!! he's done now and he's getting up with two bunches of taped paperclips; WITH TIDE'S HELP he's gonna be picked up so he can reach the door knob and he is going to Attempt To Thief :B which is to say let's pick this lock]

[It's working! You can feel the tumblers moving into the correct positions as you maneuver them. One of your paperclip abominations threatens to break, but you're careful enough and eventually-

Click! The door is unlocked!]

There—!

[GGGGGENTLY PULLING THE HANDLE DOWN AND PUSHING IT OPEN just a little bit though or else he'll fall over and then tide will too]
