Labyrinth - Crystal

[KirbyBoy2000]

You awaken on the ground, dazed and confused, unable to recall what happened or where you are. You get up and look around.

You are in a circular room and there is a doorway straight ahead of you. Above the room, there is an image of the night sky, seemingly expanding beyond what the room could hold, across it are thousands of stars.

As you glance across the rest of the room you see a large, somewhat crude carving across the stone, of a man with a large ring in his hands raising it up to the sky. As you look closer, the ring he's holding seems somewhat strange, it being silver instead of white like the rest of the image.

(If you would rather it be Amethyst or something else (Here or Title), feel free to say so).

Third?

Crystal moves over towards the carving, then turns to follow its gaze. On remarking what she finds there, she then looks to the carving itself, examining the arms to see if there is any sort of mechanism attached to them. Finally, she examines the ring and the rest of the carving, attempting to discern if the ring is a separate piece, and some inkling of the meaning of the decoration.

[KirbyBoy2000]

You closely inspect the carvings. The ring appears to be a separate from it, simply placed into the wall. You grab at the sides of the ring and pull at it, within moments its off the wall and in your hands. An imprint of the ring is still within the hands of the man in the carvings, held upwards.

Crystal Marren - Energy: 60. Health: 10. Status: Normal. Holding: Silver Ring.

[The Willful Wanderer]

Er...

(Thanks, but I didn't say 'take the ring'. I was trying to be, you know, careful. Also, what was the carved man looking at, was there any sort of mechanism in the wall, and was there any significant other detail to the wall or to the ring itself? You answered only part of my questions, and gave me an action I didn't take....)

[KirbyBoy2000]

Sorry then, just trying to speed some things up, though I guess its not needed considering this just started... And you probably don't have to worry much about traps just yet anyway.

You inspect the carvings and the wall. There aren't any mechanisms along the wall nor on the carvings. It's just a carving of a man holding the ring upwards in his hands. He is looking upwards along with it.

[The Willful Wanderer]

Ah so.

Alright then. Having confirmed that the ring is probably not dangerous, but not neccessarily what it does, I'm going to check it. If it's large enough, it's going on the end of my braid. If it's finger-sized, I'll try putting it on. IF nothing happens, then I'm going to quietly sneak over to the open doorway and peer through, sticking my head at most partway through the doorway before looking around. IF nothing happens because of that, THEN I will move (cautiously) just a little bit into the next room to look around.

[KirbyBoy2000]

Sorry for ignoring this so long...

You take the ring and tie it at the end of your braid. You then look through the doorway and walk through it after checking that there isn't anything wrong with the next room.

The room is about the same size as the last one and is empty. There are doorways to the right and left, and straight ahead there is closed door. The door is made of stone and over it is a simple carving of a star within a circle.

[The Willful Wanderer]

Sarai's Move.

Cautiously move into the room, watching the doorways. If nothing dangerous is visible through either of them, I'm going to have a good, long, close look at the star-in-circle, examining the thing closely. Is it a symbol, or a place to insert objects, or what? Any other details of interest on the door? Anything on the walls? Interesting scrape-marks on the floor or splashes of stuff? Thorough examination is going on.

[KirbyBoy2000]

You move forward slowly, looking to both of the doorways out of the room. In the dim light you can barely see through either of them, though in the least you notice nothing immediately in the doorways.

You look at the star. Its just a simple engraving carved into the stone circle. The door is just a large slab of stone taking up the entire space of the doorway it occupies, almost seven feet high. You look around the rest of the room, but find little more than dust on the floor.

[The Willful Wanderer]

Caution.

Peering through the left doorway into the next room. If there's nothing apparently dangerous in there, continuing through into it. Keeping an eye out for any symbols reminiscent of that star-in-circle.
