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!]

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]

[HOLDING TORCH AND ON THE LOOKOUT!!]

[WE STILL NEED TO GET DOWN THOUGH. . . . HMMhmmhmmm]

How should we get down. . . .

..We could use the tape?

Would that be okay with you. . . ? Is your arm alright, by the way?

[no it still hurts a lot :')]

...I don't think I'll be able to use it.... but if we use the tape, kind of like a rope....?

. . . . it could hurt your good hand, but we could try that.

[pumps torch into the air]

I can handle it! We just gotta figure out how to do it.... maybe make a ladder with pencils or something?

Mmm... It looks like we could. With the rubber bands, too.

[SO HE'S GONNA COLLECT SOME PENCILS AND START DOING THE DEED YEEEEEEEEEEAH]

[Gilly gets the hold the torch WHILE SHE HELPS and gathers up some tape and paperclips too]

[rubberbanding the pencils and paperclips together and solidifying that with tape and EVENTUALLY WE HAVE OUR PENCIL LADDER]

[dropping it over the edge, holding onto the end in order to see how long it is :|a]

. . . good enough?

[peeeeeers after ASSISTING WITH LADDER CONSTRUCTION]

I think so. We can always jump down a bit, too.

Edited 2014-03-08 08:46 (UTC)

Hmm. . . . okay.

[DRAGGING IT UP A LITTLE BIT so that it doesn't fall down from the weight, then retrieving the book to put it on the pencil ladder so it doesn't fall before scooting it forward again U:]

. . . I can go first?

[IN CASE IT BREAKS. then you can land on me]

Okay... but what are we gonna do about the torch?

. . . .

[takes it]

I've got it.

...Be careful.

Right!

[. . . .

snipes a few paperclips before he goes down ( o_o) but really quickly, like thiefquickly. because. reasons.]

[You descend your expertly constructed pencil ladder as your team (and the rat, as much as he can from his cage) anxiously look on. Luckily nothing goes wrong, and you reach the ground without a problem! You have to jump the last few inches (feet, from your perspective), but it's not far at all and you land with a light thump.]

[IF EVENINGSTAR SO NEEDS IT HE WILL CATCH HER]

[okay but before that she's gonna go open the rat's cage so he can come if he wants]
