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!]

Re: ROOM 3
Down below, Flame is so focused on watching his teammate, that he completely fails to notice the softly padding footsteps approaching him from around the desk, until-]
Mrow?
Re: ROOM 3
I HAVE. A FLAME. LIKE A TORCH. A LITERAL TORCH.
WAVING IT AROUND AT CAT I'LL BURN YOU MOTHERFUCKER]
[actually not doing that because. cat :( BUT IF SHE COMES CLOSE HE'S GONNA TRY TO BE MENACING]
Re: ROOM 3
Re: ROOM 3
OH MY GOD WE'RE GOING TO DIE I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT
[Meanwhile, the cat smells the burning torch and takes a step back, tilting her head. Now that you get a better look, you can see that she is actually...a tiny kitten. A tiny, fuzzy black kitten with a big pink bow. of course, even a tiny kitten is like a bear to you right now, but...]
Re: ROOM 3
—shhh! Be quiet—on. . . . on the count of three, run to the door as fast as you can. I'll distract her.
[with pets maybe ( '-')]
Re: ROOM 3
[whispers:]
Parmesan! If you give up now you'll never get to taste your namesake! Come on! We're all here... we're going to make it.
[to Flame:]
Are you sure running is a good idea...?

Re: ROOM 3
The kitty seems wary about approaching Flame as long as he holds the torch, but the movement of Star and the others catches her attention. Your distraction has failed- she's going after them instead!
Fuzzy little death, waddling your way.]
Re: ROOM 3
[HOPEFULLY EVENINGSTAR AND CO. ARE GETTING AWAY THOUGH]
[also, to parmesan, very quietly:]
We have to get out of here. . . !
Re: ROOM 3
[Why you do this. At least it got her attention off the others! She stops and bats curiously at the paperclip instead. What is this, why did it hit me, what's happening, I'm a cat.
Parmesan whimpers and slowly moves a bit down the ladder before stopping again.]
No way man, no way, it's over, we're dead for sure...!
Re: ROOM 3
GIVES PARMESAN THE TORCH]
Get this to Eveningstar! It'll protect you—the cat doesn't like it!
[AND NOW HE'S GONNA GO TACKLE THE CAT.]
Re: ROOM 3
Well you don't have to tell him twice; he leaps off the ladder and sprints towards the others as fast as he can without dropping the torch. Once he reaches them he'll start herding them all through the door.]
FAREWELL STRANGE RED RAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR SACRIFICE OKAY GO GO GO EVERYBODY MOVE
[Angel, meanwhile, reacts about as well as you'd expect a kitten to react to something tackling their face: she jumps about a foot in the air and then pounces, rolling over on Flame and batting at him- gently, with untrained paws.]
Re: ROOM 3
[AND......... AND he's just gonna roll..with kitty...
pets her gently..............I'm just gonna stay here for the rest of the game don't mind me. everyone else is probably going to the next room though.]
Re: ROOM 3
[But it looks like they have no choice but to move on, room 4 go]
