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 4 - THE DUNGEONS
[Huffing intensifies]
I'll be the judge of that! A good host would be giving me burgers and helping me find a way out of here!
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
[It extends one long leg toward the opposite wall. If you twist around in the web you'll see that there's a doorway down there, right between two of the slowly advancing spiders. There's also the sticky, difficult to maneuver web to consider.]
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
[Well, she still has her torch, maybe that will help with the webbing and incoming spiders. Tries to get unstuck at least!!]
Look, spider guys.. I get it, you guys are huge and menacing and scary. But I'm seriously having a bad day, and I just had to leave my teammate with a giant kitty. [Surely a spider can sympathize!!! 1! 1] I'm not kidding about the food poisoning thing, either, so could we skip the whole trying to eat us thing and just part as unlikely friends?!
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
Do spiders have tongues? Is clucking a thing they can do? Wait, nevermind that is literally the least of your concerns.]
Do be careful with that! There's no need to go swinging around weapons now! Sweetie, we aren't going to eat any of you.
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
[Long suffering sigh]
Okay, can you let us through? I'd really appreciate it.
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
[The spider moves closer, poking her with a hairy black leg.]
Well you could keep burning up my home if you like, but the drop would be a bit nasty. I suppose I can have my children give you a hand- or eight! Ohoho.
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
Well, I don't wanna wreck your houseweb... Sorry about that.
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
[You are swiftly surrounded by the smaller spiders, who bundle you onto their backs and begin climbing down the side of the web.
As they do, however, you notice something shiny out of the corner of your eye, caught in the webbing across the way.]
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
Thanks a lot, spider gang--- Hey, hey, what's that? I see something shiny!! [She wants it!!]
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
Oh, that? I haven't the slightest idea. It's just something that fell into our web earlier.
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
[It waves a leg and Star's spider scuttles over so she can pluck it out of webbing!
It's a small lump of coppery metal in the shape of a wedge, like a big chunk out of a sphere. You can't imagine what it is or what purpose it could serve, but you suddenly feel very strongly that you have to hold on to it.]
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
[Gilly can hold onto it, okok]
Thanks! You guys are really nice!
[To the bottom then?]
Re: ROOM 4 - THE DUNGEONS
Goodbye, dears! Please do come back for dinner sometime- not as the main course this time! Ohohoho~
[ONWARD.]

[Next room go!1!1]
