Let's Go On (the last 1/5th of) An AdVeNtUrE!!!!
|
You did it! Time to loot!
Besides the XP and money from the fight, all you find is some chitin.
When you get back to town, you’ll be able to sell this to an artisan for some money, but right now it’s kind of useless. Speaking of right now, what are you going to do right now? You could either wait around for that teleportation specialist to get here or…
There’s still more of this labyrinth to explore. On one hand, you might find a way back or something even more interesting. Or you could find more bugs, and you’re not in very good shape to fight any more bugs right now… |

You decide to at least take a peek through the door. If there’s any more bugs in there, they must have been hiding when you looked, and if they’re that shy they probably won’t attack you just for looking.
There doesn’t appear to be anything creepy or crawly in there, so you keep looking long enough to let your eyes adjust to the light.
Interesting… |

There’s one interesting thing here in this room, so you head for it.
Wait a minute, two pillars like this seems kind of familia-

ah yeah it’s a different style. the hub we were stuck in has blue-ish backgrounds, this is yellow. although it’s interesting that they have yellow marks on either side the same color as the walls here ❧ Edited by Tiko at 2017-11-15 13:59:002017-11-15 13:59 |

also, the symbol on the wall seems to be the same symbol as the original tp. maybe it just means ‘teleport’. lolz ❧ Edited by Tiko at 2017-11-15 12:44:112017-11-15 12:44 |

You hope this teleporter is two-way, because if not, there’s not really a whole lot you can do here except for wait.
Here goes-
Nothing!

also im curious if theres anything behind the tp door here. might be worth a look (pink arrow) |
|
|
Klaus! Klaus? Klaus!?!
You should probably go see Nicola, since it sounds like she’s kind of worried.
After explaining what happened to Nicola, the two of you check out the other thing than the teleporter in the room.
What could this possibly be for? |
|
|
|
|
This thing looks a little weird, so you decide to try and touch it and push around the triangles.
It looks like the triangles are just sitting on top of a layer of ceramic painted blue, but they won’t budge when you try to move them. |
|
|
|
|
You decide to take a look around the room and see if you can find anything that could give you a clue about how this thing works.
There’s not really anything in here aside from the ‘altar,’ the portal and the other door. After giving them a closer look, you can’t quite find anything else of interest on them. Well, you haven’t quite done everything you could to the other door, yet. you’re thinking it probably has the same key pattern as the door you entered, and if so, you could probably find out some useful information in the next room. On the other hand, though, there might just be a bunch of bugs on the other side of that door, and you’re not prepared to deal with any more bugs right now. Your other idea is that maybe that area through the portal had something that can help you make sense of the ‘altar.’
Hmm… Everything here is in way worse shape than the labyrinth you started exploring with Kitty and Emily and the place you got teleported to and met Nicola and Aiden in. Not surprising, considering up here is exposed to the elements, but it probably means that if there was anything interesting here it would have suffered much more wear and tear much faster and be less identifiable. |
|
|
Klaus doesn’t seem to be doing much, so you decide to be Nicola.
You, Nicola, are going to figure this device out. It’s not very complex, what if you just press this button-
Oh, that wasn’t a button. It’s just a pattern cut into the ceramic. Something about the two rectangles seems familiar, and something about the shape inside the square looks familiar. But what? |
|
|
Of course, the symbol in the middle is the number 3 in the ancient script these guys wrote in. You saw Klaus try and fail to move the triangles making the digit, but what if you were to try…
Aha! |
|
|
You, Klaus, didn’t find anything that gave you a clue about how the teleporters work, but you did find a rock that’s probably the right size and shape to give you some leverage to see if you can push those triangles around.
That is- unless Nicola already figured it out.
You go through the teleporter again, and see…
Nothing! There’s no light at all in here. That probably means Nicola actually figured it out! You’re clearly somewhere different than the last time you stepped through the portal. Now, let’s see if you can shed some light on the situation, and-
Uh oh. |
|
|
|
|
You’ve just though of the best crank to pull on Kitty and Aiden. But first, you’ll need to borrow this.
The hand and forearm comes off easily. You’re not sure whats holding all these bones together, but you need them to stay like this for the joke, so you don’t mind. You stick the arm through the portal.
|
|
|
Oh right, the portal stopped working because the one pillar fell over.
Unfortunately, these muscles are mostly just for show, so it’s a struggle, but you manage to fix it. Now, to engage the crank!
Nya-ha!
Your crank senses are doing the opposite of tingling… You can’t help but feel like nobody even noticed. |
|
|
Alright, let’s see them ignore THIS!
Now that definitely had to get them good. Now for you to deliver your perfect one-liner:
Oh.
|
|
|
Alright, that’s a no-go. Time to try it again.
You walk right past Kitty and Aiden and through the door-
And through the portal-
And- huh. |
|
|
Hey, you’re back here! And there’s Emily!
Who’s her friend, though?
|
|
|
You should probably get to the pressing matters first, but if Nicola found a way for you to get back here, you guess there’s not really any pressing matters for you anymore. In which case, you can ask about what you really want to know right now-
Do you like who? Isn’t that just a cool pattern? |
|
|
You can’t read what band that is, and even if you could, you probably have never heard of them. But you don’t want Gabby to know that, you want her to think you’re cool.
Uh oh. You’ve got to think of an excuse, quick. You left the stove on? |
|
|
|
|
Oh right! Kitty! And Aiden and Nicola! |
|
|
|
|
Okay, you don’t actually have to rescue anyone, Nicola already did that. But you do need to tell them they’ve been rescued, so you do.
Oh hey, Gabby came too. You guess if you’re a teleportation specialist, you don’t need to worry about getting sent somewhere you can’t return get back from.
Now that’s a good question! Do you want to keep exploring? Or do you want to call it quits with these bug-filled ruins for today? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, you’d like to keep exploring, so you tell Gabby:
It takes more than ten minutes for the doctor to heal everyone, so let’s just skip to the end after everyone is good again and the doctor is leaving…
And since you guys are safe and able to get back home without any help, Gabby leaves as well…
Huh, kind of surprising that she’s the only one. Then again, you’re the only “Klaus,” so you’re not really one to talk. Well. Now that that’s all done with, you can resume exploring!
If you can figure out how to open the door at the back of the room all those bugs came out from, that is. |
