After rereading that zombie flavor... I'm thinking the zombies may have traveled through time? It does say they disappeared in a "flash of violet", which sounds kinda time travel-y.

Would suck to be in the present if that's the case, with 3+ zombies with dagger arms roaming around (:

Damn. I really wanted to give my ability a test run (assuming Eleanor dies), but it looks like I may not get the chance :( It's much more useful for corpses we stumble upon rather than see die, but still.

Kane is clearly Paco. And apparently Eleanor is someone from way back on FI considering she knows who FGG was. I have no idea who she could be though

edit: also am pretty sure Parker = Dylan

Phase 6

Room 2830*
Exits: West and South
Birdcage room. If a person opens the birdcage, they get trapped in it instead.

Tyron looked up triumphantly. Skeletons and zombies and their ilk didn't trouble him. He was a hero. He strode up to the Northern exit and pushed it open, triumphantly. He marched into the new room without a care in the world. Glancing up in awe, he looked around him. This room was twice the width of the previous one. On the far Western side was another exit. The rest of the group milled in after Tyron delightedly. He was doing them a great service. "**Exit W-" Tyron began. At that moment there was a click. He glanced down as the floor beneath him shifted. He was raised in the air on it. A clank overhead filled the room and there was a metallic thud. The floor sank back down. Tyron was hovering above the group in a circular cage. "Is that a bird cage?" Said Balagor frowning. Tyron looked down at the group, eyes wide. He glanced over his shoulder where an hourglass was trickling sand. "Be brave Tyron!" Said Parker with a thumb up. Suddenly there was another click. The floor below the cage rose up once more. This time however, it was covered in a sheet of iron nails. They were pointing up at the cage. Brie shielded her eyes. It was obvious what was going to happen here. "Can't we do something?" She asked looking around, nervously. Parker grinned. "Tyron's a big man. He can handle it." Tyron looked down silently at the group, hands clutching at the bars. Stonehard Lee walked over and reached up. The cage was out of grasp, even for him. He looked over at the nearby wall. There was a large pole with a key on the end. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Friends this is simple. Somebody can merely take this pole and use it to unlock the door of the cage. I'm not sure how Tyron will get down after that but well...I'm sure the solution will present itself." Objectives: Release the prisoner by posting ##Open: Cage. More objectives will follow.

Angela @ 27/3/2013 7:04

My voice came back, it said they are in room 5116 and can see my actions.

EASTER URK IS BEST URK

I'm dying at all of his posts. Such perfect timing too. The first real tragedy of the game and a fucking Easter bunny comes hopping in

Phase 7

Room 5230*

-Exits: North, East, and West
- Room 5116 does not exist. Angela's voice is full of shit.
- Room 2830: Eleanor is dying but not dead.
- Room 9880: Same but now with large portal.
- Room 2223, 5230: Nothing is changed.
- Room 1328, 4853: floor replaced by swirling vortex
- Rooms 4319, 8008, 3402, 9330, 6490, 6600, 7374, 3280, 1951, 8550, 7630 do not exist

- Walton's voice says someone in the room has a healing power. My hunch is Fong, because of him trying to justify the doctor leaving Eleanor behind.
- Parker is a goddamn traitor and may he rot in hell.

The room beyond was very dark. Tyron had stopped next to a large and decorative basin at the Northern side. There were three exits this time, one going East which they had come through, one going North and one going West. Tyron stared into the basin. It was full of water. He jumped back a little and glanced around. "I can't stop thinking about Eleanor stuck in that horrible place." Said Brie shivering. The background noise in here was quite loud. They wouldn't be able to hear anything from next door. They sighed collectively as Lee looked around. "Friends, she chose to risk her position so that we might continue. Let us not dwell for too long. These are new grounds and could offer useful information." He strode over to the basin as Boone clambered up his body, sitting on his head and pointing at it. Boone glared into the reflection in awe and began to shriek. "EEEE AAAaaaa nabbanna!" He said, pointing excitedly. He did a somersault on Lee's head and clambered down. There was a small set of stone steps leading up to the basin. Boone clambered down them excitedly and began pointing at something on the base. The group rushed over. "nabbana!" He shrieked. They looked on at the source of his pointing. It was a small stone plaque on the wall. On it was inscribed a message. "Herein lies the magic of the seers. Go to the water and speak of a place. That place shall be revealed to you." Objectives: Step up to the basin and speak a four digit number. Each player may only do this once per phase. Post ##Speak: ???? to do this.

Frederick on 1328

My room has some walls of course but there is no floor, the floor has been replaced by a vortex of sorts comprised of dark energy. There are some lightning strikes along the vortex at intervals as well.

Walton's voice through Phase 7

+

Phase 1: I was told to stay with the group. That is all I was told. Phase 2: I was told I must stay behind. Phase 3: Was told to head East when I joined Ezra's group. Then when I joined Kristoff's group, it came back and told me to go North. It didn't come back when I switched to Lee's group. Phase 4: First time being warned that North could be a dangerous route to take. Phase 5: Voice was mad that we went North. Said that an ultimate power would be in the direction. Was also warned that a critical member would be in danger to the North. Phase 6: Voice was even more angry that we went North even though it warned us. Commanded that I do not let the group split up that phase. Called me an idiot. Called all of you fools. When I asked about what to do with the cage, it responded that if we had listened before than we wouldn't be in this mess. Phase 7: Was told someone among us has healing power. Said staying put is a good idea. Stressed that Eleanor may or may not make it.

Phase 8
- Still in Room 5230*
- Nothing of interest found in the fountain

Walton

The voice said you guys are onto something and that we should head North. It also stressed that the healer is still with us. But it did say we should head North but only if we ALL head North.

Phase 9
Room 1538 (no parallel)

- Exits: North and South
- Parker says a monster killed Tyron
- Everyone is charged for a portal now
- According to Mark's voice, the labyrinth is two stories and has a shuttle
- Urk apparently is a 'Ward' and keeps monsters away

Walton 1

The voice is insisting that whoever the healer is to revive Tyron. It said that if he is not around then we won't have someone willingly going in each room first and risking whatever might be in the next room.

Walton 2

The voice said we are fools. It also said someone who we knew previously is in our area. I'm assuming that is Carl, but we already knew that.

Boone @ 4/4/2013 14:28

Ezra @ 4/4/2013 15:12 "The dead don't stay dead forever, and don't trust old friends"? Is that close? *nods up and down excitedly* *backflips* :heppy:

Ezra paused as the Northern door slid open at his push. The room beyond was dark and foreboding. He stepped out and the door slammed behind him. All he could see was skulls. The whole room was filled with them, piled up in macabre displays all around. He shivered. This didn't feel good at all. He took a step forward and felt a sickening crunch beneath his foot. Looking down he noticed more skulls. The floor was made out of them. There was the occasional dried blood splatter on the surface. In the middle of the room was a snapped wire. Ezra crouched down and touched it. His eyes followed it along to a cave against one of the walls. It was also made out of skulls. He shivered and stepped backwards. There was a soft squelching sound. Looking down with a sickened expression, Ezra looked into Tyron's eyes. They were quite dead. His eyes shot around the room and noticed more of Tyron's remains. His torso was shattered in the middle of the room along with a limb strewn here and there amidst much blood. He closed his eyes calmly but snapped them open when a clicking sound caught his attention. He rushed towards the door as a shape emerged from the skull pile. At that moment the door opened and the rest of his group walked in. He took a deep breath and slowly turned back around. Parker was stood there awkwardly. "Hi guys. Guess I saw you sooner than I thought." He muttered.

Phase 10
Room 4889*

Exits: North, South, East, and West
- Twice the width of normal room
- Spikes seem to cause injury rather than death (per Marek)
- Urk's power may be what's stopping the zombies from killing people?

WAAAAAALT

Walton Alright guys. This is kind of urgent it seems. The voice came and well, it's kind of pissed off. Actually, very much so. The voice is mad that Tyron was not revived. It said that Tyron could have been the one to get hurt instead of Parker. For not listening, it wants me to separate myself from the group, alone. It said that if I do not listen to what I am told, it will make sure "I receive the consequences that I deserve." It said that the ultimate power it has been referring to is the voice itself and nothing that we are heading towards. It said that it has the power to control the happenings in this labyrinth and that I (and only myself) is in serious danger for not carrying out the message last round. If I do not separate myself, I will pay for it. I am choosing to not listen to the voice.

ZOMBIE ATTACK 2: UNDEAD BOOGALOO

The group stood around debating what to do when a darkness descended upon the room. "What now?" Said Angela frustratedly. A cold air blew through the now darkened room. The inhabitants felt some kind of presence moving through the Western exit. They braced themselves as the shadows around them grew thicker... And darkness struck. The enormous skeletal creature leaped up into the air. Its eye sockets were glowing with hues of violet as it landed gracefully on the ground. Two decomposed arms held aloft silver daggers, emblazoned with skulls and with the initials "DV" coated on the end. This one had a black cape that flowed whenever it dodged gracefully. The group spread around, hoping to avoid the horrible violet gaze of the creature as it trundled along the ground. With a flash of purple sparks, it disappeared from view altogether before re-appearing again. It gained momentum in its running by phasing across space in this manner. Each time it returned it let out a bitter wailing noise that burst through the eardrums of the listening crowd. Parker dodged to the side as the creature made a dash towards him, phasing in and out of existence to gain speed and match Parker's location. Wherever he turned, the creature was facing him. It shrieked into his face, almost causing him to topple over onto the ground. When it opened its mouth there was nothing but a bright, deep purple light. Finally it raised one of the daggers triumphantly. "Ourrrr missssssssssssssssion ourrrrr misssssssssssssssssion." It spoke into the dark room. Finally it dived forth in a flurry of purple. It appeared on the other side of Parker who stood there, frozen and cowering, unable to move. It stood still for what seemed like an eternity as time collapsed around it. Then it span around, raised the two daggers up high and went to strike Parker's neck. The daggers were a mere half inch away when the creature stopped abruptly and glared on. Parker breathed deeply. He could feel the coldness of them on him and couldn't move. The creature let out a tremendous shriek that echoed through the room and slowly backed away. And with a sudden flash of purple sparks, it vanished completely, leaving no trace of its existence behind. The light of the room slowly returned and Parker fell to his knees, quivering.

Parker scrambled towards the Northern door. All eyes were on him. Tyron's body was in a not too pleasant state and as the only person around to witness, he was falling under heavy scrutiny. He sighed and shook his head. Questing first into the unknown was somewhat without its charms. "Whatever guys, if this is what it takes." He muttered. He steadied himself as he walked across the final few skulls and looked down at Tyron's hand, pointing towards the door for eternity. Boone looked over at him solemnly, saluting at his proud work. With a shrug, Parker shoved the door to the North until it slid open. He walked into the room beyond and watched it close behind him with a thud. He shivered. There was something eerie about this room. It was twice the width of a normal room and had quite a number of exits. One in each compass direction in fact. The West half had a Northern exit and a Western exit, and the East half had a Southern and Eastern exit. He was standing by the Southern exit, glancing over to the West. On the Western wall was a gigantic stone sculpture of a face. It had a ragged mane and looked on creepily with cold dead eyes and a curved palm. He shrugged and turned to the door. At least it wasn't doing anything dangerous. "It's clear". Said Parker to the door. It slid open and the group looked in. Boone looked over at the stone sculpture and shrieked, pointing at Marek triumphantly and then back to the face on the wall. "What about those spikes?" Said Ezra, warily. Parker turned his head back towards the Eastern wall. There were a number of spikes embedded on it. That didn't look go- The room filled with a tremendous rush at that moment. The face on the wall blasted out a tremendous gust that sent Parker flying off his feet. He yelled out in terror as he careened across the floor, into the spiky wall. The face looked on sternly and continued its windy barrage. Parker grasped around in the air, managing to grab hold of an iron railing that was embedded in the wall. He hung there as the gale increased. The room darkened with the mighty bluster as the group in the doorway looked on in horror. "Hang in there!" Said Brie, encouragingly. Parker snarled. What good was that? His hair was blasting all over his face. Angela scowled as the wind was rippling through hers and sending it in all directions. "I bet you're regretting that purple mop now." Said Frederick smugly. "Thanks for the tip asshole!" Screamed Parker above the blasting wind. "How about some hel-" He yelled out as his grip slipped on the iron railing. He felt himself be flung hard across the wall. There was a sickening squelch as his shoulder smacked into the spikes on the wall. Finally the gust died down into a gentle breeze. The group scuttled in, over to the stricken figure. The spikes slipped into the wall with a thunk sound and another gruesome squelch. Parker stumbled forward into the horrified crowd and toppled over. There was quite a trail of blood behind him. "I...is he?" Said Brie, miserably. "Do I look dead?" Said Parker, writhing around on the floor. He slowly crawled to his knees and cradled himself. He was feeling quite unwell. It is now Phase 10. Phase 10 will end in roughly 24 hours from now.

"Time to lift the darkness. Let there be light." The voice faded away and there was a sensation of movement to the West. Everything was suddenly bright. Marek stumbled forward, unable to quite get his bearings. He fell to the ground, weary from everything that had passed. The entire room was bathed in an eerie green hue. There was a smell of something different though. It was...brine? Marek opened his eyes and saw a reflection. More mirrors? He blinked as the heavy bearded face looked back sadly and then began to ripple and change. This was no mirror...this was...water. His gaze climbed upwards and took in an enormous stone arm. It was rising out of the water and holding a trident aloft. The larger part of the statue must have been completely submerged by the water. There was a groaning noise behind him. Marek turned around and looked...was it East? He'd lost all sense of direction. There was a door leading into a high stone wall. It was much higher than any he'd seen so far. This almost felt like...outdoors. He stretched his arms and legs to try and stimulate movement and glanced up...very up. There was a stone ceiling to this place but it was unthinkably high. It was airy too. The whole room gave the perception of space. Standing tall and upright and smiling at the peaceful air he turned his gaze back across to the water. It stretched on into the very far distance for what seemed like an eternity. It was really hard to see far because green mists danced across the surface of the rippling lake. But it moved North and it expanded outwards indefinitely. The door to the East was set into an alcove about the size of a stadard room. This alcove had a Northern door as well. He turned around and saw that the wall on the South-side extended to the West. It joined the high Western wall which extended up to the ceiling. And directly West of the small stretch of land he stood on was a dock. It was wooden and decaying and very ancient-looking. The dock moved out into the water. There was a medium-sized wooden boat with oars along the sides docked at the end of it. Marek shook his head. This was all too much to take in and there was a more important matter. His eyes were drawn to the groaning. Angela was laying on the ground looking very ill. He dashed over and helped her upright. She blinked. "Where are we now again?" She said, bleary eyed. Marek shook his head. That last chamber was nightmarish. His eyes moved around and took in more people. They were all doing what he had just done more or less. They were taking in the enormity of the chamber. It really was impressive. Most of these people hadn't been outside in 10 years... "It's beautiful...." Said Culo, smiling up at the high ceiling. Marek nodded. It really was. "It's just a lake." Said Wilt shrugging. He didn't quite see what all the fuss was about. "It reminds me of Lake Schmito." Said Emperor Fong proudly. Stonehard Lee wasn't too impressed either. He was busy doing a headcount. "Friends. Balagor, Genevieve and Pai are all missing..." He said, rubbing his stony brow wearily. Parker shot his eyes across the room in a bid to look for them and noticed the hooded figure standing at the water's edge. "Who are you?" He said suspiciously. The figure pulled down its brown hood and revealed a thick length of black hair. He turned around and grinned at the group. He had an impressive black beard and a thoughtful expression. "I'm here to carry out my end of the bargain. I informed you all that one would die and that deal was never met." He smiled and raised a hand carefully into the air. The sky turned dark as he did it and strange green lightning coursed from his hands into the ground. "I'm sure we will meet again soon. In the meantime, don't go dying too quickly. There is so much to see and do here!" With a flash, the figure vanished into nothing. The ground where he had struck with the green energy was giving rise to a dark cloud. The group gasped and looked on as the dark cloud formed a personified human shape. A tall, black robed figure stood wielding an enormous scythe. Its eyes scanned the group carefully as if it was choosing something inside. Then it paused and rose forth. With a mighty swing, the scythe cut through the air, leaving a trail of darkness in its wake. Eyes watched in horror as it arced into a body. There was a thunderclap and the shadow departed, leaving black mist behind that dispersed into the green air. The body it had hit collapsed slowly onto the ground, shaking before finally laying still. Boone scampered over and shook it miserably. It wasn't moving. Brie fell to her knees as the tears came on. And everybody sat in silence for a few moments as the cold, dead remains of Thomas lay still. It is now Phase 12. Phase 12 will end in roughly 24 hours from now.

"Backtracking to the staircase. Cerberus is coming." That's it. Quote Well I know Erebos died, and Lincoln got teleported, and Carl teleported.

Ezra

Quote So, if we assume the person who got stabbed wasn't in the group and we're assuming Carl got mauled (by Cerberus maybe?) Does that mean whoever got stabbed was from our group? One of the missing ones? Or could that have been Thomas? Quote Err. Yeah, I forgot only half of us were there for that. Angela felt someone get mauled to death. Meanwhile Mark revealed a little more about his voices he's been hearing, and we ruled out that death being someone from the other group.

Lee

+

Friends, without revealing as little as possible (as promised), I need to talk about what I found out from Eleanor when we left her in the cage. She passed something to me that I have since passed back. If she were around to speak, I feel she would echo the same thing. "Find Water" was part of it. The NW direction was also showing where Neptune and his Basin were. Only mentioning it because I have yet to see Eleanor this phase, and it is important for our decision on the direction we travel.

Walton's voice

+

My voice came to me last night. I'm quite surprised it is still coming to me. Here is a summary of what it said... The first thing it said was that it spared me. I could have easily been in Thomas' position according to the voice, but it decided to give me a second chance to listen. The next thing it said was to travel in the direction of the most wanted. I'm assuming that means the boat. And the last thing it said, and probably the most interesting, was that it wanted me to deliver a specific phrase to the group. "The one that you least expect is the one that should be expected." It gave no reasoning or anything regarding this, just said to carry it out.

Eleanor's maps

+

Eleanor @ 7/4/2013 7:05 Since it seems we lost our main map maker... And now, here is the map I found in The Hold (or at least, my interpretation of it). The statue here is Neptune. I am pretty sure he was the face on the door in 4889 too. That was why I was eager for us to go through. I have been hoping we would reach the basin. One thing worth noting is that there does appear to be some danger involved in taking the boat. I can't confirm that the crossbones on the map were actually on the river or not, but they were definitely close. Also, I dread to think what "Dragones?" refers to. But here it is. If anybody wants to see the actual map please ask me and I will pass it along. Someone else may interpret it differently from me.

More Mark info + map

+

Mark @ 7/4/2013 13:47 This is the past labyrinth as I know it. The only details on this labyrinth that I have which you don't is the entirety of the right side of the map. To date that's what I have that are rooms that are definitely in our labyrinth. 1144* is a weight trap room where the floor is unbalanced, and it's a puzzle where you have to balance every single person and item or one person dies. I don't really know the details on who dies, I assume it's first person in, or if there's any sort of time limit beyond the regular phase. This is the room Carl disappeared out of, where he stole Kristoff's staff and came into our labyrinth, this is when I got the LYNCH ON SIGHT message. There is a package for us in the future labyrinth in room 5230* which I guess was deployed from one of those rooms. I don't know what the package is, it could be dangerous, it could be a prize. But it was sent from one of those rooms. Lincoln was teleported somehow. So he's alone somewhere. I just got a "Lincoln teleported." I assume it's a trap. So Lincoln and Carl are both alone somewhere. They went into a room with a hot potato that killed Erebos, that room does not exist in our labyrinth. Cerberus is in their labyrinth and approaching. I think that's it?

"The one that you least expect is the one that should be expected."

Assuming this isn't complete bullshit, it sounds like the voice might be saying that the person we trust the most is actually evil. I would think that'd be Ezra or maybe Lee.

Don't want to bring this up to the group yet though because it's not worth the finger-pointing until we know if the voice is actually trustworthy.

Also Marek has really impressed me with his intelligence. Sometimes his theories are a little off-the-wall, but most of the time he's really insightful and accurate. One of the better members of this group for sure.

lol, so apparently Wikey = Eleanor

probably shouldn't have used your Photobucket for your maps Wikey (:
