Splash.

That is the sound heard, among the noises of the bubbling, faded and distorted world of the universe under water.

She must swim. She has to swim or she will die.

Swim upwards

Stay calm, backfloat! It's not water, you fell into a vat of BEER! Everything is fine, just try to orient yourself.

The two in the water frantically grasp around and struggle in the disgusting water and manage to get themselves to the siding. Both of them are beaten, and barely dressed. The clothing they do have on have been torn to shreds.

They gasp and spit up the water.

"Ack!" The female says.

"Are you okay?" The male responds.

"Nnnh. Yeah. Forgot that I can't breathe water." She shakes her head off to remove more of the fluid from herself.

"Only just got out before you. I'm doing okay now, just glad we're alive."

Get out of the water, quickly!

Get out of the... fluid? Whatever, just do it!

>>108624

>>108624

The male tries to get out and to his feet first. "Where are we, anyway?"

There is a long pause, silence as the female follows suit in getting out and trying to remove water from what little clothing she has. "Dunno, but something tells me we should be glad we can't see where we are."

The male feels himself and checks on his own clothing. "Do you happen to have any light on you?"

"Nope, sorry." She smells the air and regrets it horribly. She grimaces as she feels around. "I think... yes, I think this is the Labyrinth."

She looks towards the sound of the male. "Nic, by the way."

Male: For the love of god, do NOT walk forwards! Instead, feel around the rim behind you and move right along it.

Female: Do you have any tribal powers?

Inventory check: Do any of you have anything in your pockes?

The male tenses up and swallows softly at the mention of The Labyrinth. "The... the Labyrinth? I've heard about it but... I didn't think it actually existed..." He bites his lower lip, "Jasper. Good to meet you despite the circumstances."

"Good to meet you too." Nic replies.

As Jasper finds the toilet, he gags and moves around to find the next available wall. Nic follows the side of the tub towards Jasper's voice as to not lose him.

Neither of them have anything on their person. Their abilities are still waiting to come back.

Nic knows: Persuasion and First Aid.
Jasper knows: Candy Craft and Trapping.

Jasper, tell Nic about the toilet, and that you're on the other side of it.

Jasper: Check out the door for traps.

Jasper coughs. "Oh god, stay away from this side of the room," he says, gagging as he tries to progress.

Nic trips over a corpse and falls into Jasper.

"O-owww," Jasper mumbles, groping towards the doorway.

They are now at the door. The door used to be locked with a puzzle. It has been busted apart, and you can smell fresh blood. At least it's open!

For the love of crap get out of there.

>>108676
Let;s try out CANDY CRAFT

Nic: Examine the corpse and search it if possible.

Jasper: Carefully open the door. Stay alert, there could be more traps other than the puzzle one.

Nic regains her composure. "S-sorry."

Jasper chuckles nervously, "I-it's alright."

Nic attempts to adjust what little shirt she has and rips it apart on accident. "Dammit."

The corpse wields nothing. Jasper has nothing to create candy with. They creak open the big door and step through.

"Ahhh!" Nic exclaims, realizing what the figure in the middle of the room is doing.

Jasper backs up against the wall, a chill running up his spine.

The black figure sniffs the air and gazes towards the newcomers. "Hnh. New ones."

Nic scoots back against the wall. "H-hello there."

Jasper takes a deep breath, frightened as he was, "Y-you won't hurt us, r-right?"

The figure laughs, his voice rough and gravelly. "Only if you give me reason to."

Jasper nods, "I-I see. I'll do my best to avoid that, then. Who was that?"

The figure tears off a chunk of bloody meat, chewing it before giving a loud swallow, "Prey."

Jasper shudders, looking sicker than he already felt.

Jasper speaks, "Oh. Well, um... Do you know of any light sources around here, maybe a potential way out?"

The Figure is their only light source. Shadows have a tendency to mark themselves luminescent.

Nic has been frozen with her eyes wide open, but she finally composes herself and pipes up, even if a bit shaky. "Does Prey happen to have a usable shirt?"

The Figure laughs, gnawing at the bone as he finishes what he is eating. "Maybe. You look better without it, though." He grunts and tosses the bone away. "M'the only thing lit up around here. Got someone lookin' for a way out over there." He points off to his side, not really caring about accuracy.

Jasper blushes, even though it was Nic being spoken of. "I'm, um... Jasper, by the way."

Epsilon reaches down to the torso of his meal and hurls a bloody cloth of a shirt to Nic.

Nic catches the cloth and puts it on, "Nic, by the way," she wipes her paws off on her equally grimy pants.

The figure leans back on the boulder. "Whatever."

Jasper fidgets around, looking towards where the figure pointed. "Are you, um... particularly interested in finding a way out?"

A new voice comes from the corner, "If you want to die."

"Y-you know, I'd rather not die, yeah. Though I don't think I'd be able to live here forever." Jasper glances over towards the new lady.

New finishes playing with her new top. "Living for now would be nice, yes... Who are you?"

"I am Celzt. I have been in the dark since I can remember."

Jasper nods to Celzt. "Jasper. I don't think I'd be able to survive long enough in here to make staying a viable option, is all I am saying." The way she is moving, she is most certainly blind. Her eyes are being kept shut for that matter.

"As long as you remember, that's impressive. From what I've heard, most people don't live long enough to forget the world above."

The dark figure grunts, "The hell are you rambling about?"

Celzt points to the figure, "It is because I have been following this one."

"It's, um... just... I just don't wanna be here. But, um, if following him will keep me alive..." Jasper stammers.

"Great, now I'm going to have groupies," the shadow grumbles.

"Sorry. If you don't want me to follow you, I won't. I don't wanna get in the way but you do have light..." Jasper fidgets.

Nick smooths her hair out and ties it back with a scrap from her old shirt. "Is this such a bad thing?"

The figure gives the corpse near him a kick. "S'up to you. Just know you might end up like him. Everything's prey unless they're on my good side."

What did that guy do to get on your bad side then? We'll not do that.

Jasper backs up a bit from the Shadow. "I... I see. And, um... I'll do my best to stay on it, j-just... How can I get on your good side?" He adjusts his own rags, trying to look a little more orderly.

"It's called respect. You earn it, idiot." He returns to lounging. "Don't be useless and prove your worth and we won't have an issue.

Celzt nods.

Jaspe raises his hands a bit."Alright, alright. I can do that," he says, shuddering and looking towards Nic. "You, um... want to go with these two?"

Nic nods, "Sure, unless you have a better idea. We're absolutely blind."

Celzt frowns.

Apologize to Celzt, that was rather insensitive.

Celzt, do YOU have any superpowers?

Do any of you three have any combat skills? Not really? Then stick with the shark, creepy as he is, I don't think he'll tear your head off unless you're extra jerkish.

Jasper, your the trap expert. Go along the walls to find more doors.. being careful for the obvious.

The Shadow chuckles and snorts, "Yer gonna have to man up first, ya runty little bitch... Oy, blindy! Find anything?"

Jasper blushes from the Shadow's words. He doesn't seem extremely happy about it but the results are the same.

"Nothing yet, I have had trouble hearing over your compulsive eating habit and those two crashing everywhere." Celzt states.

Nic looks towards the blind yellow bubble touched and fidgets. "We... we can be still."

"He wouldn't have become my dinner if he would've just listened to me. Dumbass knew what would happen to him. His fault," grumbles the Shadow.

Celzt gestures them to be quiet, "I hear something now. I am unable to make out what it is yet, however."

Celzt has: Lightning Bubble

Celzt: Try to identify the sound and look for the origin of it.

"I have a feeling it is headed for us, whatever it is." Celzt whispers.

The shadow grunts and gets to his feet, "Where at?"

They listen for the noise.

Celzt turns towards the group, "As I said, it is coming closer, Epsilon."

"Behind." Celzt responds, although, not making much sense.

"Offhand, do you remember seeing anything springy, sharp, or heavy around here we can pick up?" Jasper asks.

Epsilon turns, and kicks bones towards Jasper. "There, have fun."

"I am blind, thank you for your inquiry." Celzt chimes in.

"Use it on me, and I'll kill you." Epsilon smiles towards Jasper.

Jasper nods, "Understandable. Seeing if I can throw something together, but... doesn't look like enough materials."

Use WHAT on him? And Epsilon, got any neat abilities?

Also Celzt, what does it sound like, something heavy, light, many things?

Jasper creates a trap with the bones and what is available. "Okay, there we go. Please avoid this area over here. I should be able to reclaim it if whatever it is that's coming towards us, doesn't end up reaching us."

"I would say impressive if I know what you did. It sounded like you hit your face on a rock, a lot." Celzt states.

"Feh, I got one good hand left and I know how to use it." Epsilon grumbles. Nic takes note that Epsilon's right hand is heavily injured from breaking open the first door.

Nic smirks, speaking to Celzt, "Mmmh. I think that would have a more meaty quality to the sound."

Epsilon: Shape shift into a foppish young lad with a dapper coat and silver-tipped cane. Hat optional.

>>116992
Try finding a door in a direction that the thing is not coming from.

Epsilon, can you shapeshift your hand restored?

Celzt, can you be any clearer about where you think the sound is coming from? Also do you need aid to use lightning bubbles?

Jasper, wouldn't using the door as a bottleneck force whatever's coming to step on the trap?

Jasper fidgets and leans against the wall to speak more to the blind woman. "I built a trap. It's meant to incapacitate but it can still be dangerous." Celt's facial expression doesn't alter in the slightest. "That's pretty smart, too bad I can't see."

Jasper nods towards Epsilon's statement, "Well, last time I was useful I got thrown in here. Traps are my forté, I'm sure it will be useful too."

Nic spends a couple of minutes healing Epsilon's injury, using scraps of her clothing to bandage it up. "There, should be better now."

Jasper: "If nobody objects, perhaps I should pack up this trap now." He succeeds in disarming and storing it for later.

Epsilon: "Huh."

Epsilon walks around. Jasper looks around the room. Nic stays close to Jasper.

Epsilon: "Well. This is a rather boring bunch of bullshit."

Nic: "I don't think anything could live for very long back there."

Celzt: "Upon rethinking, I realize that I may have heard something after all. I heard something different when you got done building that trap. What did you do?"

Jasper: "Let's see. For the most part I was near this boulder, I, um... reclaimed Prey here, got some dirt and some rocks."

Epsilon: "Might as well get settled in."


Celzt: "One of the walls in this area makes a different noise, even if slightly."

Knock on all the walls with your cane, try to figure out which one. When you do, do your electric bubbles explode, or do the lack force?

Try to apply some force or listen closer to the area that sounds different, it might be a weak spot or have air/water running behind it

Jack: "Oh, no, just doing the hand wavey thing.. really can't see, huh?"
Jasper: "Eh, what we look like doesn't matter, right?"
Celzt: "And I suppose not."
Jack: "So many kind things on the eye around to boot. Must be rough."

Epsilon: "Oy, foxy. You good with all kinds of bandaging or just hands?"

Nic: ...

Nic: "Sorry, it's the best I could do with such limited resources."

Jasper: Time to check up for traps.

Epsilon is... kind of cute. Okay Jasper, take point, check that door for traps.

Epsilon you can't transform your body back to healthy can you?

Yeah enough stalling:Get to checking those various chains out to figure out their purpose, and trap likely hood (which is pretty high I figure given all the corpses). Don't think it's much of a spoiler to say:I detect crazy puzzle shit ahead.

Jaspers forgiven for being distracted by Jacks magnificence though! Shame Celzt can't see it; maybe some sort of tactile alternative can be arranged later? Jacks a man of fairness:No checking her out until she can do the same back! It's only right! Nic can fill our oogling quota for now.

Really need to get to a point in this story where I can suggest real actions haha.

Epsilon: "Better'n nothing. Help me up, will ya?"
Jack: "So no one wants that? Great-Thanks-Mine--Yoink!"
Epsilon: "Feh... Beginning to think this place was designed to off you as soon as possible.."

Epsilon's shapeshifting does not recover wounds, injuries would carry over.

The handles and possibly the door are trapped. It's a dangerous looking puzzle to open the door. It's probably fatal to get the answer wrong.

Would bashing in the door bypass it?

Move the skeletons away to get a better look at the black markings.

Jasper: "H-hey!" Jasper responds to Jack taking the blade, late.
Nic: "A-actually.."
Epsilon: "Who's the klepto?"
Nic: "It was."
Epsilon: "...You sayin' you know where we are now?"
Nic: "Mmh. You don't?"
Jack: "Yes, yes this should do nicely.. and klepto? Don't be silly, no one ELSE wanted it, gotta take whatever edge you can find, man."
Epsilon: "All I know is that I'm somewhere, where it's dark, dank, and full of people I don't know and that ticks me off a bit."
Nic: "This is the Labyrinth. Does that ring a bell?"
Celzt: "My apologies, if I could fend for myself, I would."
Epsilon: "Frak."
Jack: "People with a common cause my friend, which is what makes us. Hahaha! We'll be free in no time! On that note, I think I got this one figured out already!"

Jack pats Epsilon on the back, holding the blade with his tail now.

The door is as thick as the wall, and reinforced. It would not be a good idea to try and force the door open with brute force. Jasper fails to find anything other than the four pull-chains on the wall.

The markings on the wall are dried blood smears, there's no writing or pattern to them.

>>163573
I'm guessing you need to pull all 4 at once.

Jack: "It's a simple matter of team work! Always is. We just have to pull all four handles at once--ACH!"
Jack starts to pose dramatically, but Epsilon grabs him by the throat and lifts him into the air with ease.
Epsilon: "Don't touch me."
Nic shakes her head.
Celzt: "You sure are cheery.. whoever you are."
Epsilon bares his teeth and growls, before dropping Jack to the ground.
Jasper nervously looks at Jack, stepping away from the door.
Jasper: "Mmh? I was somewhat considering that, but I don't see nearly enough evidence to risk it yet."
Jack: "Going to have to get used to other people there, unless you'd rather run this maze of death on your own there, Sharky."
Jack brushes himself off. He then strides over to the door with Jasper.
Jasper fidgets, looking nervously between Epsilon and Jack.
Jasper: "M-maybe we should focus on the way out..."
Jack: "Very much in the right there, Jasper. Won't do any good bickering like children. I'm still thinking my, 'all at once,' idea is right, but can hardly pull four handles with only my two hands, hmm~"
Celzt: "I would suggest getting out of here instead of killing each other."
Jasper: "W-well, you've got your tail too, but I can see your point."

The handles are fairly far apart though, it would be difficult for one person to do more than one.

true, but even if one person grabs a handle each it will be hard to coordinate when to go. but that's where the fifth person comes in, they lay down, clearly, when to pull the rings and count. such as 'when i say three, pull. not after i say three, WHEN i say three' they all pull.
the problem is, that could not be it at all and it's pull the rings in a certain order.

>>163616
With no true markings, and the rings all look the same, then what is there to tell us what order to pull the rings in?

Is there anything odd about the skeletons?

Nic: "Fine, let's get this over with."
Celzt: "Wonder if there's anything I can do."
Epsilon: "Well. Could always try pulling the handle with something by proxy, like a bone. Plenty of them around."
Celzt: "Where?"
Jasper: "Good point. Wonder if I could rig all of this together. Sorry Celzt, there are a bunch of dead bodies in front of four handles. They're near the door we need to open."
Celzt: "Seems I'm useless again then."
Jasper: "Hm... Yeah, doesn't look like we could set anything up. We'll probably just have to pull them.
Nic is getting impatient.
Nic: "Celzt, you're not useless. Jasper and the rest of you, can we please just open the door?"
Jack: "So, all for my plan then?"
Jasper notices something on the wall.

Nothing to do but to pull. Try not to get killed.

>>163625
The wall is worrying. Is there anything on the other walls?

I'm going to die laughing if they all pull at the same time and the wall falls over and crushes them.

Jasper: "I'm up for it."
Jack: "Oh, there'd be plenty lost if you got killed, miss. Heh, but yes, let's do this."
Epsilon: "Y'know, the Labyrinth never made sense to me."
Nic flattens her ears and growls for a moment.
Epsilon: "You could just execute people. Instead they throw them in here and give them the possibility of escape."
Nic: "It's entertainment for the king. Escape only gives you the chance to fuck up and be sent back here."
Epsilon: "I don't see any cameras."
Jack: "Overconfidence is what it is, don't worry about it. They'll be wishing they just executed us once we get out o here. Mind handling the last door there?"
Jasper: "Hm. Here I was hoping someone had a redemption fetish. Other alternative is we're already dead, but I don't think the King has influence in the underworld."
Celzt: "Why would I be dead?"
Nic: "Can we open the door already? Who cares."
Celzt: "I don't."

There is nothing significant on the other walls.

Jack: "Not going to be useless today, my friend. Just give her a heavy tug on the count of three."
Nic: "You counting down?"
Jack: "One... Two...."
Epsilon: "Just pull the damn thing already."
Jack: "Three!"

With a loud noise, the stone door rumbles downwards, revealing another door, and a fifth pull-chain.

Jasper: "E-Epsilon, would you mind pulling that p-please?"
Jack: "What'd I tell you?"

Epsilon keeps hold of his ring and swings around hard, grasping the new chain with his teeth and pulling hard. The door begins to rumble again, opening the way through slowly.

Epsilon: "Can't do anything without me, huh?"
Celzt: "I sure wasn't useless, there."

Celzt you could help pull the ring... unless you aren't strong enough.

So are you guys going to commit regicide after this?

Jasper: "Not yet, as far as I know."

Jasper checks the doorway for traps.

Jasper: "Stop."
Jack: "Red light? What's up?"
Jasper: "Spike trap there, Acid trap there, and another trap towards the middle, haven't figured out that one yet."

Jack looks into the room, Epsilon grabs some of the bones.

Epsilon: "Throw 'em, set the traps off, don't need to worry about 'em then."

Jasper approaches the middle of the room to check the middle trap, since he already disabled the other two. Epsilon finally realizes this.

Epsilon: "Or that."
Jasper: "It's a good call for some, Epsilon, but some of these traps can reset, and others... Well, I don't know for sure if there are others that affect entire rooms at a time. The folks who built this... unnh..."

Jasper collapses to the ground.

Jack: "Ehn, I'm thinking a lot of these are the resetting type anyway, way too much maintennance other wise. Any idea how--Crap!"
Celzt: "Sounds like we're dead."
Nic: "No, just one of us, maybe."

Jack and Nic step forward to drag Jasper back to the group.

Epsilon: "Nothing so far in this place has sounded inviting, what are you talking about?"

Jack charges up the blade with electricity and flings it towards the device. The throw is wide, and it crashes against the floor.

[ Vote Session ]

Choices:

Celzt, Jack, Nic, Epsilon, Jasper, and a Mystery Character, yet to be revealed!

The character voted for will be the character the audience directly controls. If the character in control dies, there will be another vote.

See you Tuesday.

>>166264
Jasper! :D

>>166264

Jack.

Robot lizard powers go!

I'm gonna vote for Jasper too.

Why don't we stick with Epsilon? Make sure he doesn't die, and all that.

>>166264
Gonna have to vote for Nic. If there's anyone who needs a better chance at staying alive more than the rest, it's her, as with her first aid she can keep everyone else alive should they be injured.

Mystery Character

I love a good mystery! Mystery character!

I'm gonna go with Mystery Character, no use messing with the pre-made characters' personalities, we can make this one our own.

You open your eyes slowly. You are alone, uncomfortable, and your arms are strapped up against your chest. It's very dark, and you feel very much like you are stuck in a box. How cliche/displeasing.

You smack your head up against the top, but all you accomplish is making your head hurt for the time being. Attempting it moved your foot so the sand is pouring in harder.

You have the ability to Dig and/or Mine. This is hindered by your arms being restrained.

Try to get your arms free. Seems like you have spines in your back, so maybe you could try to move your arms over your head and cut the ropes with the spines. If they're ropes.

You get out and take a deep breath, brushing most of the sand off of yourself.

Your name is Shula. You are a pangolin. You were a working class miner. The last thing you remember is protesting the heavy labor and low pay. The king sent soldiers to stop your peaceful protest, people were killed to try and stave the protest, it started a riot.

Here you are now.

You are in a dark, dirty room. There is a visible sand pit near your feet and two closed doors. Each door looks relatively plain. You can hear rumbling and voices to the south.

Go to the door to the south and try to listen to the voices.

You go towards the southern door. Which is great because it wasn't mentioned that the western and southern directions held doors.

The multiple voices get a little louder, even if soft whispers closer to the door.

You are lucky, because you treaded carefully, suspicious of possible traps. The floor starts to give way in front of the door, and your cautious pace prevents you from falling into whatever is hiding below.

Ok, walk cautiously around the obvious trap and try to open ajar the door to peek who's in the other room.

You sneak around the trap, and try to open the door, but it is locked. There is an engraved message next to the handle. Two buttons are above the message.

"The button to the left opens this door. The right opens the other. Either choice locks the other. The left holds other criminals, untrustworthy just like you. Your quickest way to death. To your right is safety forever."

The voices are pretty distant. They are not in the next room. There seem to be several voices.

There's more rumbling.

I don't see why you should trust what this place says, being full with fucking traps. Safe forever my ass.

Also even if the other guys are criminals, they probablt are in the same shitty situation like yours, so better their company than none.

Press the left button.

Man is this like double reverse psychology or something? It's like if you take them at face value obviously you wanna hit the right button, but then again they might want you to hit the right button so then you have to hit the left button because the right button will actually be something bad, but maybe that's just what they want you to do, so you have to hit the right button, only--

Right, don't overthink this. I'm just gonna go with the left button.

>>168523
see if you cant remove the panel, there might be something else underneath it

A criminal of the sorts they think you are would always choose safety forever. If they thought you capable of trusting others, they wouldn't have dumped you into this ...dump.

You press the left button and you hear a lot of clicking, whirring, and some rumbling before the door snaps and clicks one last time, but loudly. The door partially swings outward. You touch the door, but don't enter. You hear a strange voice in the next room.

"Oh boy, something that could maim or dismember us."

It sounds like a very uncouth lady. This is not entirely attractive to you. You can also hear a much larger creature breathing loudly, and stamping around.

You have no means of removing the plate on the door, so checking underneath it isn't an easily viable option.

Peek around the door and enter if the situation seems right.

>>168765
Just go on through already.

>>168765
Alright.

Cautiously open the door and walk on in. Maybe peek in first.

what are the walls made of? What about the door frames? What do you think it would take to get through them? They had to dig this place out in the first place, right?

...see any crystal balls? <.<

Peek around the door, but be ready to pull your head back if anything lunges at you.

You carefully poke your head in the door and look inside. The moment you look in, a Shadow is leaping towards a huge monster. The shadow lands and rips open three gashes in the thing's face. It attempts to bite him in response, but he gets out of the way, though not in a very dignified manner. It's more of a stumbling leap.

He rolls, and a lady with a ripped up dress and large big ears helps him upright.

"He's a big fucker, I'll give him that," The shadow states. "Well, let's kick his ass together, not by yourself, stupid." The lady who helped him up replies, seeming just as ready for a fight, despite the obvious uneven odds.

A bubble touched with glasses, and a pair of jeans is down at the floor, messing with something, "Get back!"

You notice a green robot in a heap against the wall. His head moving upright, and staring at you. Directly at you.

>>170510
They.. clearly have this situation under control right now. Entering the room mid-fight would only complicate things and distract them from a dangerous situation. leave the door open and step back a bit so you aren't collateral'd while still giving them an escape venue.

Don't step in the room, looks like shit is pretty intense inside and you lack the fighting skills to face that giant thing.

Instead hold your arms up and wave at the green robot/lizard guy, trying to make sure he understands you aren't another monster or any menace.

>>170510
Yeah, I'd say to hang back for a bit. The middle of a fight is a bad time to introduce yourself.

>>170510
Shoot the giant monster in the eye.

>>170569

Yeah, with the gun. That you have. Because miners use guns. :p Just hold back unless the shadow guy gets K.O.d because that's your best chance to help. And by help I mean get chewed on while everyone else beats the thing to a pulp.

I still want to know what you think of the walls of this room. Are they rock? Metal? Particle board? Are they hollow? How thick are they? What would it take to get through them?

>>170819
...oh goddamn it, that pickaxe looked like a crossbow to me this whole time.

Instead, try getting a hit on the big monster's leg. Or climb on top of it using your sharp claws to get a good hit on the head.

You still havent given us a full readout of your abilities yet. How are we supposed to determin a course of action if we dont know what you are capable of?

>>170927
The same way you participate in 80% of Quests.

Suggestion wise, watch the fight, and step in to help when the thing is almost dead already for MAXIMUM DRAMA OUTPUT.

You decide to quietly pull the door back some, and peek, and listen for now. That monster is dangerous, and you don't feel it's safe to join the group of strangers.

The walls of this place are far more than adequate to defend against your ability to dig, but hopefully your skills will come in handy somewhere. You do not have any equipment, only your body, and your suspender like 'dress' if you want to get technical.

Since you aren't involving yourself, the events unfold in the next room.

The Shadow dashes back forward and gashes open the creature's leg. It roars in extreme pain.

The Robot gets up to his feet and takes a defensive pose with the blade from earlier. The monster swings its body and slams the shadow into the wall. The shadow slides down to the ground in critical condition. Long-ears goes forward to attack, but she trips and falls to the ground. Shirtless Bubble Touched leads it forward and it steps its left fore-claw into the trap. The Staff-Bearer begins to prepare a lightning bubble.

You begin to question your own capabilities, but surely you know what you can do for the most part. You're not that crazy.

>>171358
Use your big claws to slice it up! Your armored scales should let you take the punishment if it counter-attacks.

get on it's back and pretend it's dirt, then start digging.

>>171358

>> The walls of this place are far more than adequate to defend against your ability to dig,

Don't lose heart just yet. Someone like you built these walls. Someone like you can take them down. You might lose your life here. You might lose your very soul. But the more shit you can fuck up the harder of a time they'll have doing this to the next victims. Your best chance of getting out of here is to do like a Tozol and take the unexpected route.

Normally when exploring a dungeon you want to carefully disable the traps, not bash them apart, because you may need to re-enable them when you use the dungeon to defend yourself. This is not one of those dungeons. Break everything.

Also now. Now is go time. Shadow is K.O. All that's left is a caster and a healer, and they both need time to do what they do best. That means they need a tank. Be the tank. You can do this.

Dash over there, wisk her out of the way of danger, and when he tries to Chomp down shove that big old blade in his mouth instead... maybe say something like "Got a SHARP taste to it huh big guy?" Or "Got something between your teeth there! Ha!" Or... maybe... or wait wait wait

We're suppose to be controlling the blue tough looking chick aren't we? Whoops... okay Hm.. well guess she can rush up and start trying to kick its ass. Seeing it ain't noticed you yet... go for one of the back legs, get it to look back, to make the shots easier for the folks in front.

[ I'm just going to use their names, the audience knows, even if your character does not. ]

The monster tries to bite down on Nic, but Jack nobly leaps forward and defends her with his weapon but doesn't make it in time to try and get a counterattack in. Epsilon slides down on the floor, unable to get up or past the shock yet. Nic tries to attack, but the monster ups its head into the strike and she stumbles back to the floor.

You sneak into the back of the room unnoticed by the monster at the very least. You slice open the back of the monster's leg.

Celzt's lightning bubble crashes over the monster, dealing heavy shock damage to it.

Jasper persuades the monster into focusing on him alone, despite the rest of the group's actions.

Whatever else you do, try and get out of the way of an unexpected muscle spasm of the leg. No sense getting kicked across the room.

Roll under the tail and try to take out the other hind leg. If you can cripple this thing then you should be safe to take it out at your leisure. You don't want it falling on you, after all.

You try to sneak under the underbelly, but you are tossed aside. Epsilon suddenly shoots up. Nic and Epsilon both climb up and gouge out its eyes almost in complete unison. That's when Jack carefully sidesteps and stances, following the monster's movement before slashing the blade into its neck.

Celzt thwacks it in the trapped leg with her staff.

Jasper can't find anything to make traps, and seems frustrated.

"Be careful, although it can't see anymore, it's surely angrier." Jasper tries to warn the party.

"Finally, I'm no longer the only one that's blind, around. I can rest easier," states Celzt.

>>172050
Get back in the fray! Attempt to disable its free front leg.

Quick, roll up into a Morph Ball and lay bombs under the monster's soft belly! That has to be a weak spot!

Stay clear of the tail. Time is on your side, so for now you want to keep anyone from getting hurt.

Get in there and take out that other fore-limb!

Claw the leg that is still intact. On your way there, claw any part of the monster exposed to you. And watch out for the tail.

Have someone make alot of noise to ditract it, then the rest of you RIP AN' TEAR at its belly.

Jack practically roars, continuing to press the blade deeper into the creature's neck.

You begin to dash, but curl into a ball and roll underneath its belly. Epsilon hops down and dives underneath as well, the two of you gashing open its belly from below.

Nic unceremoniously climbs on top of its head and punches it.

Jasper sees the monster wildly striking around as finish your rolling slash attack, and he runs in and defends you from its back leg about to blindside you. He struggles heavily, strength not being his particular strong suit.

Celzt pokes the monster's trapped leg with her staff. "Okay, you win, you're far more crippled than I am now."

It roars in extreme pain, but it's still struggling.

 

>>172280
Well, you know if you want to put him in more pain... there's always...

You know, logic would dictate this creature is no longer in any condition to survive, let alone fight. If you all back off you can simply let it bleed; putting it out of its misery after the last of its energy is spent.

Of course THAT'S THE SISSY MAMA BOYS WAY OUT! REAL MEN DONT STEP BACK LIKE COWARDS, CONTINUE BEING BAD-ASS, AND TEAR IT A NEW ONE DAMMIT!

Jack the whole Neck cutting things awesome but you're in easy swiping distance of that leg behind you. Slide on over to the opposite side, dragging the blade with you to leave a long gash across.

Shula? Yeah I'd get jumping back to help Jasper with that leg, boys half your size, and is going to be tossed if you don't tear it apart first.

The monster attacks wild, and aimlessly, swinging and swiping around where it can. You, Jasper, and Epsilon attempt to evade the tail. Epsilon doesn't make it, and the tail causes his body to snap back limply, and he goes skidding across the floor.

The creature rears its head and it sends Nic through the air, cracking painfully against the ground. She is critically injured, but still alive.

Jack cleaves off the air near the head, while you slash through the hindleg. Celzt climbs on top of the monster and bashes its head with the staff.

The monster continues to twitch and it swerves its body and head before crashing down, dead.

The party is silent.

Epsilon is motionless, he only bleeds.

Blue girls on our side clearly, get a name out of her "Hey Spikes you got a name? How's Sharky doing?" a grim tone to your voice.Given she's closer no reason she can't check up on him. Multi-tasking! Jack saw him hit...but he can't really know his condition beyond 'down'.

Jack and Jasper help Nic to sit at the wall. With some help she helps herself with her own injuries. It takes a few minutes, but she does a fine job. Except her mood, she is now extremely pissed, although she might be trying to hide that she's upset.

Celzt remains on her mighty perch of the monster's head. The shadow's glow begins to fade, and he starts to lose some of his shape. That is what happens when a Shadow dies.

You haven't known the group long, but the Shadow and you worked together to do some damage to a common enemy despite his injuries, and that might be why he is dead.

Jack breaks the silence, "Hey spikes, you got a name?"

"Shula," you respond, quietly.

"Epsilon is a liar, I'm pretty sure he said something about not dying a while back. What a jerk." Celzt states, listening to the room.

Jasper pouts a bit, and crosses his arms, "That's not a nice thing to say, he might not have been very nice, but he certainly helped us get this far."

"Just shut up, none of this shit will bring him back, we need to just go or die. You knew this could happen, it could and might still be you soon." Nic rubs her neck and growls.

Jack looks around some more, "Any more bastards heading our way or are we in the clear?"

"I don't hear anything," Celzt says.

The door the party entered is closed shut, the room Shula came from is still open to the north. Some rumbling can be heard from in that room.

Ah damn shame. That guy was pretty awesome too! Better get everyone's minds off it though....We'll be dead, when we're dead:Not when you decide you are, we must have hope!

Best give Nic some space. Jacks over-confident, but there are lines! Scary!

Lets get the rest of the introductions out for Shula. We're getting out of here, be sure to invite her along in a confident, but serious manner.

Next turn to Jasper, ask if he could turn any of that monsters Claws, or teeth into traps,or weapons we could use. If yes... help him cut out the bones he needs, maybe use some electric zaps to cook up some monster-steaks if anybody wants ehm.

or scoop him into a cup

You are by no means interested in playing around in Epsilon's remains. That is extremely nasty. You may be used to getting dirty, but undead gore is past your limits.

You inform the group of the room to the north that you came from, and the trap there.

Jack has an idea to make traps and cook some food with the monster's remains. Most of the party is hungry, so they decide to take a break.

Jack electrifies chunks of monster meat.

Jasper fails to make Meat Candy.

Jasper begins to make weapons and traps from the bones, but he is extremely sad.

Nic mopes in the corner.

Celzt wanders off on her own.

"We should try to get out of here, for Epsilon. Keep our spirits up." Jack says, offering the meat to you.

Epsilon's 'blood,' and form disappears. Fading like a shadow. The monster's blood however, doesn't do the same thing. It just lays there, being used for multiple purposes.

>>173211
Accept some of the meat if you're hungry, but also, make sure Celzt isn't getting herself killed.

Have some food, but better not to hang around for too long.

Check the monster's teeth. How sturdy are they? Do you think you could use them as some kind of pick or wedge? It's time to go through the walls.

You take some of the meat. It's probably been days since you've all eaten. You begin to chew and keep an eye on Celzt, but she's going towards the door to the next room. You scurry over while still nibbling at your food.

"Miss, that door is a pit trap if you go straight in, be careful."

She isn't moving, she's just leaning against the wall.

Jasper has made two extra bone weapons. Since Jack has one, Shula has her claws, and Celzt has her stave, Nic gets the knife, and Jasper will take the cane. Jasper also has a new trap to use. In terms of damaging the wall, the chances are slim to none. That monster was starving. It was attacking to eat. It was extremely strong and couldn't damage the wall to get out, it's not likely that its bones or teeth will do anything different. This place was made to contain far more than the criminals put inside of it.

You get closer to Celzt, "Please don't go in there by yourself, let's all go in there together so there's less risk." You notice now that she is pouring tears down her cheeks.

"We survived days before any of the rest of you were sent inside. I want to get out of here, but I wanted to get out of here with Epsilon."

Well I'm sure he would have rather died than you.

hugs. and 'don't even think about killing yourself, if you are going to die then do it the right way, by fighting until you run out of fight.'

Yes, hug. And tell her that you're all going to get out of here. For Epsilon.

You give Celzt a hug. "We're going to get out of here. I'm sure Epsilon would be happy he died rather than you."

Celzt is quiet for a little bit, the flow of tears slowing down near to a stop. She recomposes herself and just starts talking. The rest of the party gathers their things and comes nearer.

"In those days (before you all started to file in and we got out of that room), it was boring. Very boring but we talked a lot. Epsilon was a detective from around the country of Rotarm. He was hired by someone to investigate a disappearance, so he came to the islands.

Unfortunately he is good at his job. From what he told me, the person who did the crime happened to directly work for the king. They murdered his friends and the family he had here. He killed one of the officers and was thrown in here for murder.

One of the criminals we were placed in here with was a Puppet who Epsilon arrested. Then he saved me from the others trying to take advantage of me. He was very bitter, and of the folks you missed, only one of the people he killed might not have deserved it, but I didn't see the whole situation.

Whereas me, I was bumped into by a royal guard and I let loose a lightning bubble. It started a fire and I was put in here for Arson. Great, right?"

She wipes her face and laughs, and hops over the pit trap into the next room. "I don't care about you guys, but I'm sad he's gone, and angry he left me behind."

... no.. no words on that now. Someone as Awesome as Jack knows when to save his rage to carve corrupt royalties hide! He may not be Epsilon but he shall defend them all!

With everyone fed, and the weapons made, get to following Celzt, avoiding the trap, and giving a nod to Jaspers.. he knows his job here, no need to tell him it.

Lets... make sure Nic is following too...maybe with some reassuring words. Maybe a thanks to this Shula girl... and find out what the next room is about.

Will.... try not to make direct suggestions for Shula now. I've got Jack to control, Shula belongs to the players~

>>173412
Alright then. Let's move into the room. Jasper should check for traps in the rest of the room we didn't mess with.

I wonder if we can salvage anything from that box we started in?

Before you leave the room, how did they get the monster into it? Is there any giant sliding panels leading to some kind of monster corral? Did they just build the maze around it? How would they keep the monster from attacking them while doing so?

If they teleported the monster, and you can figure out how they did it, then you can teleport right back out of this crappy maze. I don't recommend doing that though, as it would interfere with your goal to cause so much property damage that they be unable to utilize this labyrinth in the future.

Pat Celzt on the back and let's continue. Yes, ask Jasper to check for traps in the next room, and tell him abou the spike trap, the buttons and the message in the wall.

Everybody take defensive positions before opening the other door (unless you find a secret door or something else)

You and the group carefully step into the room in which you woke up in. Beyond the brand new open door on the east side, nothing has changed. There's a door to the west, and the pit in the center.

You show Jasper around the room, the old door, and tell him about the pit. However, you don't know what he can do with wood and sand.

"The west door is sealed shut, and it was trapped. Can't disable it from out here, and opening it would have activated it. The east door isn't trapped."

You hear Jack talking softly with Nic, as they step into the room together. She still seems in a poor mood, but at least she's keeping with your party.

Celzt stands near the opened door, and just waits, "I can hear waves."

Almost everything in the place is sent in with a one way teleporter, and it is maintennanced by, from what you have heard, artifact creatures or golems. The creators and current owners of this place definitely knew what they were doing. Even if it was not originally created as a death trap.

Looks like the way we go is East. Jasper checks for traps in the room before anyone does anything, as is the usual protocol.

Sounds reasonable. Trap searching is always good, if only I could make candy out of sand and wood. It's really too bad I missed my chance to make meat candy!

Delicious meat candy.

Oh, interesting. If the labyrinth was not originally created as a death trap, then we might be able to find and restore its original function, and turn the tables from within... new plan then. Instead of just destroying every room you see, try to figure out what's behind the traps, secrets not quite sealed off.

>>173593

I guess destroying the traps, walls, floors, etc would also reveal any secrets they had been hiding. So continue with operation property damage, but also see if you can find parts of the dungeon that aren't trying to kill you.

Jasper cannot check for traps right now. He already checked the door. He can try again when his Trapping ability isn't faded out. (Same for all characters' abilities.

However, the room adjacent is examined. It is an extremely long room. There is a thin beam connecting the entrance to the door in, and another door on the far side of the room. There's a path to another door in the middle without beam or path in.

Below the beam, and the doorways the room is filled with an unknown fluid. It appears to be a deep pool. There is space between the highest rise of the fluid and the height of the doors and beam itself.

>>173796
Check to see if it is corrosive or acidic. THen check to see if any aquatic predators are in the liquid.

In fact, do both at once.

Do this, poking the water with one of the long bones.

But anyways, seems like there's only one thing to do and it's to crawl over the pat and try not to fall.

Except for Jack, the lucky bastard can walk over the walls/ceiling.

>>173796
If we're worried about stuff being in the water, Jack can just electrify it.

Considering there's space under the walkway everyone could just wrap their arms and legs around it for maximum grip.

have people pair up and go fairly close to eachother, so if one starts to teeter the other can try and help, also crawl across to reduce the likelyhood of falling and increase the ability to catch yourself.

Jack reaches down carefully and pokes his blade into the fluid. The blade is heard freezing up before it shatters violently outward.

The group decides to group up and carefully crawl along the thin pathway. Shula and Celzt move together with extreme care. Jack stays by himself just in case.

Nic and Jasper make it a ways before Nic's clumsiness comes back to light at the worst possible moment. She slips and starts to topple off of the beam. Jasper reacts and tries to grab her leg to save her. Jack rapidly moves across the beam to catch Jasper's leg as he starts to fall off after Nic.

The King has disrupted many lives, and families. Nic's family sold her to the King because they were poor.

As she grew up, she used information and extorted information against the King. She was working for a revolution, however she was caught in the act.

"Jasper, let go now or you're going to die!" Jack yells at Jasper, trying to pull him back up before he too splashed into the pool. Jack just barely yanks him up to the beam.

Nic is heard freezing up, and crackling. Her body explodes.

Jasper screams.

The group slowly crawls towards the door to the next room.

Everyone tell eachother why you're in here. Now.
