BARGHEST

[soulping]

[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!]

[wingtamed]

[ my wings are ruined my life is ruined hold on he's just. gonna sit here

with a hand to his forehead and the most distressed of expressions on his face. ]

[ FLAILS ]

[soulping]

[aw get over it, it's just a few cobwebs. would you prefer the rat suits again?

the room continues to sit there and be empty for now]

[remarch]

[SO MAD.]

The sooner we get out of this stupid fucking place, the sooner we get a shower, right?

[Picking himself up.]

Lets look for loose bricks or whatever.

[wingtamed]

I'm down! Go on without me.

[ too many cobwebs. too much sticky. ]

[remarch]

If we get out last, all the girls and shit are gonna be outside and see you.

[wingtamed]

[ noooooooo.


fine okay getting up. but he's not gonna like it. ]

Try knockin' on the walls? See if one spot sounds more hollow.

[remarch]

You take the floor, there might be a trapdoor or something.

[STEP 1: ASCERTAIN WHETHER GEORGE, THE PAPERWEIGHT, IS STILL WITH THEM.
STEP 2: METHODICALLY RUNNING HIS HANDS OVER THE WALLS AND KNOCKING.]

[soulping]

[Sweet, noble George is perfectly safe. He landed right next to Lepus and glints clearly on the dull floor.

The walls are constructed of heavy, solid stone, with no obvious openings or hollow spots. It's fairly run down though, so there are various chips and crumbled parts that could possible used as handholds.]

[remarch]

...More climbing, seriously?

[wingtamed]

[ george belongs to mira, he is mira's sidekick and thus he's gonna. take that and repocket it. ]

Think ya can handle it this time?

[remarch]

I can do it.

[one day i'm getting back my pakour and then i'll run up these walls!!!

LETS CLIMBING.]

[soulping]

[Have fun with that. The walls are slick with moss and mildew, and it's really hard to get a good grip despite all the cracks. After you've slipped and fallen back down a few times, you might get the idea that this isn't really working.]

[remarch]

How tough's the paperweight?

[wingtamed]

Just don't break it, I wanna keep it.

[remarch]

Sooo... Like, no using it as a hammer?

[wingtamed]

Ya can use ice, can't ya? Make ice handles.

[remarch]

Yeah, ice handles, that's not gonna be slippery or anything.

[wingtamed]

Better than the wall?

[remarch]

[Looking around.

How stable does that ceiling look if, theoretically, one were to try and take out a wall.]

[wingtamed]

's long as ya don't try an' burn it.

[soulping]

[Technically, there is no ceiling. Above you is nothing but the shaft that you fell down, fading into darkness after a few stories. Now that you're looking up, though, you spot an opening about 30 feet up the sheer wall. Considering how hard it is to climb, there doesn't seem to be an obvious way up...

Until, in the distance, far above you, you hear an ominous rumble.]
