Andrael had been meditating for some time. He opened his eyes and looked around slowly. To his right was a swirling purple vortex. He smiled serenely at it. The rest of the group began to stretch their arms and legs, readying themselves for moving on. It had seemed like forever since they last did. Andrael stepped over to the portal he'd created and calmly stepped into the swirling purple energy.

The world around him shifted and changed unsteadily. As he drifted through the vortex, he kept his mind focused on the distant future he was travelling too. Before long, it was over and he took a clumsy step out onto solid ground. All around him, the others began to materialise too.

The room was twice the length of a standard room. It was the same shape as the one they'd just come from. There was an exit to the North and one to the South, locked shut. Near where the Northern exit was, a stone canal passed down beneath the Northern wall. It moved through a small set of iron bars set into the base of the wall. Then it extended Southwards a little and curved to the East. Finally it came to a stop against the Eastern wall.

Andrael walked over to the wall above the narrow canal and touched it gently. Unlike many walls in this time period, it was made from stone. It was also cracked and worn throughout. It didn't seem particularly stable. He gave it a shove but nothing seemed to shift it. At the base of it, the canal ran right into the wall. There were no iron bars for it to flow through.

Meanwhile Hobert was off exploring the rest of the place. On the Southern side, set into the Eastern wall was a huge set of metal doors with a black ring painted around them. A shuttle was docked at the entrance on a track. In front of the doors was a desk with a computer sat on it. It looked fairly outdated. He dashed over to it and began hitting keys excitedly, seating himself on a small wooden chair.

But nothing happened, the screen was just black. He pressed a few more keys and then gave up, resting his head on the side of the desk.

It is now Phase 71. Phase 71 will end in roughly 24 hours from now.

um

I will check my maps momentarily to see where we are in regards to the guardian.

i thought we had to go east awk

Welp

Maybe we can only get in with the staff?

I don't understand honestly. The other group said the same thing when we met up that they couldn't get in.

So now what do we do?

Not an updated map, I shall work on one. A very busy day.

I think we need to go to the Gate and open it to flood the Dried Canal and then take a boat into the room........?

The group readied themselves. It was time to move on.

Phase 71 will end in about an hour's time. Anybody who has not yet posted an exit action may do so. No other actions can be used, and no existing exit actions can be changed.

Looks like we'll need another day to decide?

The floor shifted slightly and the group felt uncomfortable. It was probably time to move on.

You have 24 hours to move. If you do not exit within 24 hours, you will be killed.

##exit: north

I still don't understand what we are doing.
