waldemar's quest
[With the sound of coins jingling faintly in your ears, you awake....]

[You have been transported into the depths of Waldemar's mountain.
The area that you currently occupy is an empty cavern. Torches line the rock walls, yours for the taking.
BEHIND you is a large white stone, about half the size of a grown man, embedded in a sheer rock wall. It radiates light and is warm to the touch. You understand instinctively that touching it will return you to the upper area of the mountain, aka the part normally seen when entering the realm from the Echo Chamber.
IN FRONT of you are two cave-like entrances, one on the RIGHT and one on the LEFT. You understand, also without being told, that there is an invisible barrier which will stop a party of one from continuing; the team must go in groups of two or more.]

[A high-ceilinged dining hall that's dominated by a massive wooden table stretching from end to end. Comfortable chairs line either side in a haphazard mess, carelessly stowed away, with a high-backed one at the farthest end. The table itself is set for a feast as far as plates and utensils are concerned, everything clean and glittering faintly in the light cast down by the chandeliers affixed to the ceiling, but there's no food to be seen and the various candelabras are all unlit.
There are THREE DOORS here.]

[From the ceiling hangs a countless number of flags, each unique in origin and design. Most of them are tattered, however, the colors faded and dull. The maps pinned to the walls aren't any better off, being just as weatherbeaten and consequently illegible. This room is a shrine to past glories, victories, conquests.....or used to be. There are various pedestals and glass cases, all empty.

[This room is full of weapons neatly stowed in holding racks, shields hanging just so from the walls, and full-body suits of armor carefully posed here and there. Perhaps surprisingly, every object is polished and clean, free of rust or wear or neglect. The edges of each sword and axe look (and are) sharp to the touch, ready to be used at a moment's notice. The shields gleam softly, burnished and sturdy.
The rich tang of metal pervades the room.....as does the faint smell of fire, smoke, soot.

[The centerpiece of this room is the single throne placed atop a gentle slope of ascending stone steps. The curtains and rugs are a deep, lush red. Behind the throne is an immense, old-fashioned silver vault lock.
There are FOUR DOORS here.]

[The inside of this vault is utterly bare and empty save for one thing: a 20 foot tall marble statue of a man, a crowned king, dressed in fine clothes with a scepter in one hand and a sword in the other. His features are indistinguishable, as the statue is in poor condition: worn down, weatherbeaten, cracked in several places.
The only DOOR here is back the way you came.]

[This room is deceptively small, containing only the typical trappings of an elegant bedroom: a large canopy bed with the curtains drawn, polished wooden dressers, and plush fur rugs underfoot.

[grabbing a torch, glancing at both entrances]
Spooky.
[but she doesn't seem too concerned]
So, do we wanna go in teams of two or three?

So, we have to split up.

Do you think three would be better? Split our team in half?
Might be easier to explore faster if we do three teams of two. What do you think?
Mm. That's a good idea. How should we split up the teams?
Well.
There's supposed to be illusions and stuff, so we should properly spread our resources.
[Translation: let's not end up with team dumbs and team not dumbs]

So... I can go with either Aventurine or Sunstone.
I'd like to go with either you or Sunstone.
[to stop you from breaking everything]

I'll see what they think, but it would probably be good if someone stopped them from, like, breaking everything.
Well, there's only two paths, but it might branch later.
So... I dunno.
[so helpful]

Spooky is right. I hope it isn't as bad as it looks.
[Having the creeps is an understatement.]
I'll do whatever we all decide is best. [Whatever it takes to not die!!]

Why don't you go with Sunstone?

Having three people go the same way might mean that one person has to go alone sometime!
Same, same! I hope these treasures are easy to find. I'm starving.
