Ricecracker Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Oh boywiththesword! I need it. Pretty please? See son, that's how you get stuff in life, you annoy them with kindness. Now that I have the sword, I'd like to carefully (so that I don't drop or damage it) put it in the vacant lampholder to "feel around"
WesternOutlaw Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 This statue is one of many within the temple, representing the five different levels of hell. There use to be 100s of these statues within the temple grounds, but because of looters, sodomizers, and mystery buffs like yourselves, just a few remain intact. Be careful as you stroke him. I will look around the room carefully (as if on guard), as the others feel the statue.

Luke McAwesome Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Maybe some of the other visitors could help me jerk, yank, or otherwise manually manipulate any and all appendages. And the ones on the statue, too. NO! Don't you know what that will accomplish? You'll awaken it, it's friends, and it's beastly mother-in-law! Haven't you ever watched Alien Vs. Predator? Sheesh. Let's just hope we don't run into any statues with weapons on their shoulders, and we'll have to hope we don't have any idiots stupid enough to remove them... See son, that's how you get stuff in life, you annoy them with kindness. I know, father. But I prefer making vague movie references and teasing old people. But isn't this statue amazing? I wonder, since this look like petrified bone, maybe a small metoer fell and hit him, just like the dinosaurs! What should we call this species... Mr. Willoughby, is it? Yes. Did anyone from MOTEE Tours ever name this, or it's species? Yes, that's right, I know there's more... there's always more! *I would like to join Ingrid on her wall-tapping experience, please.*
Peppermint_M Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 You know what? The floor might have loose tiles or hollows. I think I'll tap them to find out. I would like to tap each tile carefully so as to discover anything odd but not set of any traps. If that is possible
Sir Dillon Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Is the statue movable? If so, I would like to rotate it to face each arch and then towards the staircase to see if anything happens.
Svelte Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I would like to sit here in the corner, looking glamorous and mysterious, possibly puffing on an old-fashioned style elongated cigarette holder, whilst the rest of the tour climbs about on all fours, tapping every tile and brick like a bunch of drunken monkeys.
Zepher Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 This is all very silly. The most we were able to gain from this room seems to be that there's a pulley system somewhere or another, and that's already clicked. Unless the walls are indeed lbocking off more of the room I think we've seen all we can see, so we ought to stop muckin' around with torch holders. The only other thing I see of interest is of course the little critter in the center of the room, and the only part of the critter that interests me is that it seems to be made out of bones. Maybe it's a skeleton of one of your werewolves.
JimBee Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 The statue is carved from, what appears to be, solid bone-now petrified. There are some tiny chunks missing, but no markings or inscriptions. There is nothing that looks like a switch or letter although the beast has several appendages: I'd like to pull on those little fangs in the back, one at a time, I don't care what order. Is the statue movable? If so, I would like to rotate it to face each arch and then towards the staircase to see if anything happens. Not bad, Mrs. Let an old sea dog help you out. I'd like to help Diana push the statue in the manner she said. Maybe there's a treasure chest underneath. Just remember to hum this tune while opening:
Millacol88 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I recommend we slice off some appendages with the sword. Silver is apparently supposed to destroy them...
Dannylonglegs Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Oooh, that is a hideous statue, I wonder if it bites You know what? The floor might have loose tiles or hollows. I think I'll tap them to find out.I would like to tap each tile carefully so as to discover anything odd but not set of any traps. If that is possible hmm, you know that's probably a good idea, you know, I hear Harrison Ford does things like that. I'll help her on the left wall Edited January 11, 2010 by dannylonglegs
Hinckley Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 *Sheesh* Maybe some of the other visitors could help me jerk, yank, or otherwise manually manipulate any and all appendages. And the ones on the statue, too. I would like to help with the statue *Sheldon and Penny jerk on the appendages pulling the statue back to and fro. It does not appear to conceal anything beneath it, although it moves surprisingly easily.* I would like to turn the statue towards the vacant torch hole in the wall. *Samantha turns the statue towards the torch hole. Nothing happens* Wow, what a strange statue. I must say. Might I try pushing the torches that seem to be at angles back into place? I do not know if it's been tried before, I have been a bit dosy. *Chris Owen, having not paid attention at all to anything that had previously happened messes around with the torches...* <Ahem> *Ahem yourself, this action has already been answered. :* *Ingrid taps the walls. The stones all appear to be stones, although she still wouldn't call the walls "solid." There are many cracks and more than a bit of erosion.**It seems that most people have left their jewelery off for the trip. Johnson Willoughby seems to be wearing a silver watch while Penny has a beautiful silver necklace on. It appears to have a locket pendant, with some sort of gem embedded in it...* Now that I have the sword, I'd like to carefully (so that I don't drop or damage it) put it in the vacant lampholder to "feel around" *Richard attempts to get the sword from Diesel. While awaiting an answer he notices the vacant hole is no longer vacant...* *I would like to join Ingrid on her wall-tapping experience, please.* *Stanton taps on the walls with Ingrid, although she's already been told that it did no good.* I would like to tap each tile carefully so as to discover anything odd but not set of any traps. If that is possible *Penny bravely searches for traps by tapping on potential triggers. Luckily, there are no traps or anything else interesting or out of place about the floor.* Is the statue movable? If so, I would like to rotate it to face each arch and then towards the staircase to see if anything happens. *Diana bodily turns the statue towards each archway and the staircase. Nothing happens.* I'd like to pull on those little fangs in the back, one at a time, I don't care what order. I'd like to help Diana push the statue in the manner she said. *Jack molests the statue. Nothing happens. He joins in pushing the thing around instead.* I recommend we slice off some appendages with the sword. Silver is apparently supposed to destroy them... *You will need the sword to do so...* I'll help her on the left wall *Donna also begins typing despite the fact that it's already been revealed that it does nothing for anybody...* *Sylvia looks fabulous*
JimBee Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 After I'm done riding the beast, I'd like to put my hand in the vacant torch spot, feeling for anything in there. And I would like to pull, push, grab, etc. the item. And then I'd like to help DJ deface the ancient antiquities.

And I would like to pull, push, grab, etc. the item.And then I'd like to help DJ deface the ancient antiquities. *Jack Baxter reaches into the vacant torch hole. He pulls out a piece of parchment wrapped up with a copper ring.* *The ring must've fallen into the vacant hole out of the perpendicular shaft when the torches were moved into the correct position.*
JimBee Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Back in my day, they'd have you court-martialed for littering. I better not find any more of this junk in the ruins or there's going to be one unhappy sailor. Fine. I suppose I'd better open it up. First, I'd like to inspect the ring, for any designs, insignias, etc. Then put it on my left ring finger. Then, I'd like to look at both sides of the parchment, unrolling it carefully.
Ricecracker Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 After he unfolds and looks at it, I'd like to actually read it.
Luke McAwesome Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Oh! A clue! A clue! *I would like to creepily read the note over my dad's shoulder once it's passed to him.* Maybe this is a Blue's clue! In fact, it's pretty obvious it is a clue! So, what does it say, father, what does it say? Edited January 12, 2010 by Striker
iamded Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Well then, I guess I shall take a look at the piece of parchment (carefully, so as not to damage it) wrapped in the copper ring. Read out any writing on it, show it to the rest of the group if there are any diagrams or drawings. I don't much care for the copper ring though, Jack can hold onto that. Copper just isn't my style.
JimBee Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Woah woah woah, there fellas. I snatched it first, so I want to read it and inspect the ring. Eh... though I haven't read anything in a while besides instruction manuals. So I'll let Firecrotch read.
iamded Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 <sigh> It appears that once again, as I was taking everything in and thinking about it all, that other people have already taken said actions. I still say we pass it around the group though, if there are any pictures or diagrams.
Luke McAwesome Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Whoa whoa whoa, there Mr. Canadian, eh! We never said that we weren't going to let you read it first! Me and my father were simpling asking if, once you were done, we could please read it ourselves.
Hinckley Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 *Jack puts the ring on his finger, oddly enough, considering it is large enough to fit over his head. If you were made of LEGO parts, the ring is as big as a 2x2 plate...* *On the parchment is scrawled: "See pages hired fast sword _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | _ _ | _ _ _ _ _ "*

Sea Frisbee, anyone? *On the parchment is scrawled:"See pages hired fast sword _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | _ _ | _ _ _ _ _ "* Hm? Is it telling us to look in a newspaper for jobs for hire? Does anyone have today's paper? As for the puzzle, as it looks to be, I'd say the first word is either "the" or "see", and the second to last is "is" or "on"... Wait! so the ring doesn't have any markings on it? I'd like to place it in the mouth of that statue, and the place it on the stud on the Pharaoh-like headdress.

I'd like to place it in the mouth of that statue, and the place it on the stud on the Pharaoh-like headdress. *Jack hastily tries to put it in the mouth of the statue, not searching the mouth for any other clues. Nothing happens. He closes the mouth and puts the ring on the demon's head. Nothing happens.*
