Switch Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 "Well, it looks like we have to head left, then... towards the bizarre noises." Ford gulps. "I just hope it's not anything too hideous..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 "Well, Midge isn't glowing yet," Lurel grins. "Does that mean that passage is safe, Midge? I wouldn't mind having a look at that left hand passage.... it should be another dead end, at the edge of the maze... and... well... so far those dead ends haven't been dangerous. Princess, can you sense anything in that passage?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 There is no danger sensed, only strangeness. You walk on to find a room shaped like a triangular arrowhead. In each of the three angles a head juts out at you causing the brownish glow. Although the heads are devoid of mouths they seem to be screaming. You cannot at first make any sense. You pick up odd words. Eventually, half deafened and pleased to get out you come up with twenty words. Perhaps they could be made to mean something. You write them down alphabetically:- After, again, Anima, clue, far, find, found, hearing, her, here, if, is, it, of, return, the, third, to, you, west. Back at the junction you turn south ignoring the dangerous path to the west. The next passage, also leading to the west, is empty and appears to be a linking passage. You proceed to the next crossing passage. The route to the west is again empty, nothing more than a link. That to the right gives Midge bad vibes. Ahead is another crossing passage. OOC> I'll update the map next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 "Let's not go right, if you don't think it's safe, Midge," Lurel says. "And left would just take us back into the centre. Let's see what's at the next junction." He sighs. "I've been thinking about those words we heard. Maybe we can try to see if we can make some sense of them." He starts mumbling combinations of the words: "After hearing..... west of here.... the third clue.... you found Anima.... return to her again... it is here.... find..... far.. " He shrugs. "There are so many possibilities.... maybe we should try to guess what the heads were trying to tell us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinJiOh Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 "But the heads could mean anything what they say is garbled and makes no sense maybe if we did go west...?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 "If we do go west, one of us dies. They made that very clear." Ford blinks. "'Return to her again'... could that mean that dog that we ran into earlier? That's the only person... thing, that we've run into in here. But as you said, there are so many different combinations it's impossible to know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 "I wonder if the Anima might be the heads over on the west side of the maze?" Lurel guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 OOC> I'm en vacances in France for a week sans computer and the computer here has been dead for all day yesterday and most of today. I haven't had a chance to do the map I'm sorry. I will however give you a SMALL hint re the word order. I won't lock the thread but won't be posting again until 18th. IC> After thinking about the inflection of the words you heard you conclude there were two sentences. One begins 'The third clue', the other 'If you find Anima'. Following the suggestions of Ford and Lurel you turn neither left or right but continue south. The next crossing has paths both east and west. East leads to a brightly lit room which gives no cause for unease, though you cannot see what it contains. Westwards at first appears to be another linking passage until you see a small door half way along on the right. It has a bell and a plaque, perhaps a name plaque, outside. Ahead of you there are no further passages to the east, two lead off to the west. The path you are on continues south a little way and comes to a dead end. Unlike everywhere else you have seen it gives the impression that this is a barrier. It would also agree with the map and the statement made in the room where you ate that they completed the parts of the maze you could reach AT THAT TIME.

ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 "Hmm... " Lurel keeps mumbling the words they have been given, trying to bring them into a logical order. "Hmm.... The third clue is found far west of here? If you find Anima, return to her again after hearing it? Did I use all the words the heads gave us?" He sighs. "Can anything think of other sentences we can make with those words?" More and more Lurel becomes convinced that the maze is there to test them - their courage, honour, intelligence... what else? What will happen to them if they fail one of the tests? The feeling of being trapped becomes stronger. "Why are we being tested? And who is testing us?" he wonders to himself. Then he snaps his fingers. "Do you remember the cave on Levdia, with the injured bear?" he asks the others excitedly. "That was a test - of our compassion, I think. Once we'd shown ourselves willing to help the bear someone appeared to help us. I was reminded of her when me met that dog.. Laka.....and I wonder if that was this Anima we're to find?"

Chunky_Moose Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 OOC: Sorry for such a spammy post but I'd just like to say that I'm still alive and well and active and am paying attention to what's going on. I haven't disappeared so don't worry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
