Malchik Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 There is a sighing sound from the heads. "We would eat." They are waiting for you to do something. OOC> It would be nice to know what the people outside the room are doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinJiOh Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 OOC> sighing from the heads? or from you, Malchik? :lol: IC>"Well we could eat.. they said no harm would be done to ME? so i am not entirely confident at your health. But if anything, i believe we should eat, maybe this is a test maybe this isn't." "We don't know any better so it is still risky, coming in here alone was a risk we might as well see it through." Midge circles the table for a moment and then attempts to pick up the cutlery.. "Hey! what's going on i can't eat without cutlery" "It's lucky i bring my own stuff" sniggers Midge as he pulls out his spoon and takes a spoonful of the soup and puts it to his lips. "This smells good" he says as he sips it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 The soup is quite delightful. But as Midge puts the spoon into it for a second time the whole thing vanishes, the spoon with it. Midge (only) hears "Well, child, we do not know whether that was a willing sacrifice or not, but we will give you the benefit of the doubt. You will now know as strongly as the spoon what level of danger is near. However as you will not glow, you will need to tell the others!" Everyone hears the next words as the door slides open. "Your map will now show you the passages on the east side of the maze that are currently open to you. You have visited the northern most room and we are as far east as you can go. There are five other rooms all further south that are aligned with this one." As the words resound you realise they are not coming from the pink heads but an indistinct shadowy form, most reminiscent of a dragon, that flickers on the back wall. The voice reminds you of the one you heard before. "If you turn south at the next opportunity you will come to a crossing passage. The path to the west (the right) will take you to one who can answer every question you may have about this maze. You will only learn after he has spoken that his payment is the life of one of the party. If there is no other hope for you, that may be a solution. We advise against. You seem so far to understand what needs to be done." There is a sudden wistful change to the voice. "I do hope you succeed." The voice and shadowy form vanish but a new table covered with many kinds of delicacy appears. It is clear that you may eat safely. You check your map.

ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Lurel calls to Lisette and Siffli. "It's safe to come in now - and there's food here!" After nibbling hesitantly at one appealing looking morsel and finding it delicious, Lurel helps himself to a generous assortment of delicacies. Between bites, he explains to Lisette and Siffli what happened. "Midge was really brave," concludes his tale. "I Didn't have a clue what to do, and was scared to touch anything - I'd still be standing there looking at the table." After eating some more, he continues: "The heads warned us about one particular passage - south and then west - I suggest we avoid that one. But shall we keep to the edge of the maze as we have done before - or do you want to explore it all?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Ford grins. "Well done Midge! That took some guts." He looks around at all the food. "Hmm, well, it didn't kill you, let's try some." He starts picking and choosing from the various delicacies on the table, picking up a few pieces of meat and eating hungrily. "Mm! Good to have some decent food at last. Thanks heads!" He turns to Lurel. "Well, sticking to the edges might be best. We don't want to head into the centre and find there's some sort of hideous guardian or something."

Malchik Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 OOC> I'm off for a chaotic weekend so leaving early. Just let me know when you come to the next juction/room. IC> The food not only makes you feel more cheerful it mends any wounds you have. You will be able to take on the next section of the maze as fresh as when you started. OOC> Mentally and physically that is. You haven't been anywhere remotely like a bath! Ciao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinJiOh Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 "No problem... they took my spoon though. But they told me would no longer need it as its powers have been drawn into me. " Midge pauses for a moment "I wish they had let me keep it for the rest of the meal" as he grabs a peculiar looking fruit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Ford looks to Midge. "Oh well, so long as it's effects remain. Hey, will you start glowing whenever danger is near??" He grins and finishes another piece of fruit. "Phew, I'm stuffed. Soon as everyone's had their fill, let's get moving! I feel the best I've been since we entered here."

ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 "That food was just what we all needed, I think," Lurel agrees. "Let's go on while its effects last. South, I suggest - as long as we avoid heading west, and the one the heads warned us about." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 You return to the previous junction and turn south to the next crossing path. The right hand tunnel is brightly lit and leads to a how and cheerful looking door. This was the passage you were warned against. The left hand passage has a glow coming from the end and weird noises you cannot make sense of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
