Malchik Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Lurel is aware of a vague sensation that they are being watched but certainly not by anything in the room. If it is not his imagination, whatever is watching is somehow beyond or outside the maze. There is no sense of danger in the room. Ford staring at the floor in his unease notices that there are markings on the wood. When he bends to look he sees tiny carvings of animals, every kind he can think of, and many he does not recognise. All are pointing towards the central boss. Midge also stares at them. He sees to see them move. Lisette sees nothing. Siffli cannot see markings on the floor but finds them on the ceiling where the carvings are of birds. As if to compensate for seeing nothing, Lisette hears. "Arrows - beware the arrows. Learn of them to the east." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky_Moose Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Lisette glanced uneasily to the east. She had better tell the others of the voice in her head since it was a warning. She spoke up, "A voice told me to beware the arrows!" she continued, "I don't know why but we might be able to find out if we head east" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 "Hmm. There are little carvings of animals on the floor... lots of them!" Ford kneels down and looks at some of the ones he hasn't seen before in fascination for a few moments before standing up again and looking at Lisette. "Arrows? What? Some sort of arrow firing trap or something?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 "Arrows?" Lurel repeats? "To the east? Well... I suppose that could mean anything from the eastern wall of this room, to the east of the maze. But we've just come from there... and didn't notice anything arrows....unless they mean that Anima might be able to tell us....." His voice trails off as he turns to study the walls and floor east of the central boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 The walls are slatted wood with no obvious markings. Lurel can also see the animals, though unlike Midge, for him they do not move. As both he and Ford peer more closely they see that many of the animals seem combinations of animals and in several cases animals and humans. Those closest to the central boss appear to be entering it. Re-checking the map reveals that there is only one part of the maze east of where you are that you have not visited.

ThetaOrionis01 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 "Hmm," Lurel says thoughtfully, tracing the route they have taken on the map with his finger. "Looks like there should be another dead end due east of here. Let's have a look there then, and find out about those arrows." He is uneasy about the central boss, and about the warning of arrows. What significance do those animals hold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 "Okay, but... does anyone have a shield or something we can use? One of us should go in first to make sure it's safe, just in case it is some sort of trap, and they'd need protection." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThetaOrionis01 Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 "Well...." Lurel begins hesistantly, "We're probably not going to learn much standing around here. I don't know about you, but that central boss makes me uneasy..... this whole room does. Let's retrace our steps back to the junction where we'll have to turn south to get to that room 'to the east' - though I'm not even sure that's what the voices mean. We've already avoided a few places to the east we weren't sure about, after all. " He hesitates. "When we get to that junction, I'd like to know if Midge and the Princess can sense any danger, or anything unusual there. And then..." His voice trails off. Ford's remark has brought home the dangers they are in. 'I didn't even think of that, and I should have. I keep making mistakes - I've only been lucky so far I haven't got anyone killed!' Lurel does not tell the others, but he makes up his mind to enter the room to the east first - and alone if it means protecting the others from danger.

Malchik Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 You leave the room with the sighing floor travelling north to the next junction. You turn right passing two junctions and right again. When you reach the next junction you wait to find out if anyone senses danger. There is something in the room ahead but the sense it gives is of being neutral. Lurel takes the lead in walking down the passageway. It is dim but there is enough light to see provided care is taken. As he nears the end he sees a circular room In the centre is a well that would not look out of place in a rural environment. It has the usual bucket on a chain, currently raised. There is no one visible in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
