Hinckley Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Nobody knew how they ended up in "The Baths." The door was blocked by what seemed like some sort of cave-in. The room had no light source yet it was somehow filled with light. Everyone was asleep. How did they end up here? A figure appeared before them, an old monk. He seemed to appear out of thin air. "What's up?" He said. "You are all in grave danger!" He continued. "During the first part of your journey, one of your group has been systematically sacrificing people among you to the great demon, Vacuus. You failed to find the clues and now he has awakened Vacuus. Your souls are very nearly the property of the great demon." "But there is still some hope. In this interim, the demon among you, the one who has awakened Vacuus has lost most of his power. He can no longer make you see things that are not actually there: floating crowns and skulls, etc. He is weaker now as Vacuus rises from the Abyss. Now is the only time you have to reverse what he has done. You must find him and kill him." "Good luck, my friends. You will be challenged each day. If you can answer the challenge, you will be given the opportunity to uncover two clues about the hidden threat among you. But, he is sneaky and devious and it will not be easy. This is the way we protect this temple. This is the ceremony that has transpired for centuries when someone attempts to wake the demon. This is the final fail-safe. You are humanity's last hope. Please kick the demon's megablocks." "And don't worry. That smartass voice will be around to assist you..." And the old strange monk was correct. As he disappeared, a strange thing occurred. Everyone had a brief ... glitch ... something just felt weird was the only way to explain it. And from seemingly nowhere, a pool of blood appeared...

I wish there was more room. Please sign up again for future games! * Rules for Game play No anagrams. Each chapter you will be faced with a LEGO building challenge. The first part will be a group effort to find a certain amount of LEGO pieces. The second part will be an individual effort to figure out what model the pieces create. The winner of the individual effort will be judged by how much time is taken to solve the puzzle. When you begin to solve the puzzle post "Puzzle start" in the thread. When you solve it, post "puzzle solved" and PM me a picture of the finished product. The winner of the challenge will select three people. The three people selected will nominate two people to receive clues about the identity of who killed the other members of the tour group (the deaths from Red Moon 1). You must search for clues. This means that an action must be specified. For example, you wish to search a room for hidden objects. The following is an example of how not to go about this:"I wish to look for suspicious or hidden objects in this room".Instead, you must be able to specify what you want to do. For example:"I would like to open the drawers of the cabinet."It is not required for you to specify exactly what you are doing and what you are looking for, but a generalised statement will not find you anything. Act like a detective and you will be fine. Dynamic Actions: Actions you wish to carry out without all of the other players' knowledge can be PMed to the game host, Hinckley. You may or may not be allowed to do what you request. Host response time: Please be patient. You may bring the story to a point where you need the host to further game play. I will be on top of this game as much as possible. Please be patient with me between chapters as well. Stagnant game: If you find yourself stuck in the group challenge portion, it is because you need to find a clue or you've missed something. Don’t argue with the game host. You’ll be there until everything that needs to be discovered has been discovered. Each game day will last 72 hours with three portions, each lasting 24 hours. The team challenge will last 24 hours. The individual portion will last 24 hours. And the nomination process will last 24 hours. If the group fails to find all of the pieces in the first 24 hours, then the chapter will end with no further clues given. You cannot edit your posts. Failure to follow these rules will result in a warning. A second failure will result in the humorous death of your character.
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 C'mon, people, stop with the laying down. Let's get this started. I'd like to examine the puddle of blood. Is there any place over or around it where it it could have come from?
Hinckley Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 C'mon, people, stop with the laying down. Let's get this started. I'd like to examine the puddle of blood. Is there any place over or around it where it it could have come from? *There is a lot of blood there. If someone lost that much blood, they'd be dead.*
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Hmm. Is anyone here dead? Hello? Anyone? Is there anything in the pool near the puddle?
Hinckley Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Hmm. Is anyone here dead? Hello? Anyone? Is there anything in the pool near the puddle? *You look in the pool near the puddle. There is some water there.* I love being the voice.
WhiteFang Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 We got to get our act together! That demonic person must be hiding among us. Meanwhile, I will like to stand up and walk towards the green frog. I wondered if the green frog can communiate with me? Things here are going crazy and I think crazy and unbelievable stuff do happen.
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 How deep is the water? Is it very clean or clear?

Is it very clean or clear? *If you got in you couldn't touch the bottom. It's crystal clear and very clean, probably a natural spring...or whatever.*
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Hmm. Is there a ceiling above the pool of blood and does it show any signs of blood dripping from it?
Hinckley Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Hmm. Is there a ceiling above the pool of blood and does it show any signs of blood dripping from it? *There is a ceiling but no sign of anything dripping.*
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Is there anything besides blood in the puddle?
Hinckley Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Is there anything besides blood in the puddle? *Perhaps some DNA...*
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 *Perhaps some DNA...* Aha, our first clue! Anyone got a centrifuge on them? And lab training?
Tamamono Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Why was I lying on the ground? And why does everyone look different? There's something afoot! Hmm. Is anyone here dead? Hello? Anyone? I'm alive, and I don't think I've lost any blood. Speaking of the puddle of blood, I would like to gingerly smell the puddle of blood and then go around smelling everyone else to see if the scent matches anybody. Aha, our first clue! Anyone got a centrifuge on them? And lab training? Unfortunately, no, I do not.
Hinckley Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Why was I lying on the ground? And why does everyone look different? There's something afoot! *Chris Owen inventories all the feet and finds 28 feet.* I would like to gingerly smell the puddle of blood and then go around smelling everyone else to see if the scent matches anybody. *Chris Owen, apparently thinking he is some sort of bloodhound, sniffs the puddle of blood ... ... and then sniffs everybody else to see if he can match the scent. It doesn't yield any results except everyone thinking he is some sort of retard.*
Tamamono Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 *Chris Owen inventories all the feet and finds 28 feet.* 28 feet, 14 people... Well, we're all here! *Chris Owen, apparently thinking he is some sort of bloodhound, sniffs the puddle of blood ... ... and then sniffs everybody else to see if he can match the scent. It doesn't yield any results except everyone thinking he is some sort of retard.* Well, it was worth a try. I guess now we know that the blood isn't from anyone here. Although maybe it would have been easier to just examine everyone for wounds... Would it be possible to smell all the past dead bodies? I'm not quite sure what to make of the puddle of blood. Is it even blood? Do we have any way of finding out? I think I'll inspect the fallen pieces of wall that are blocking the stairway up to the door.
Hinckley Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Well, it was worth a try. I guess now we know that the blood isn't from anyone here. Although maybe it would have been easier to just examine everyone for wounds... *You lack the ability to identify the scent of people's blood. So you haven't discovered anything. Nobody appears to be wounded.* Would it be possible to smell all the past dead bodies? *It would, but they're in the other part of the temple which is blocked off currently* I'm not quite sure what to make of the puddle of blood. Is it even blood? Do we have any way of finding out? *It's blood.* I think I'll inspect the fallen pieces of wall that are blocking the stairway up to the door. *They're blocking the stairway.* The group takes another look around the room:
Peppermint_M Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 "Owb, mby dose... Why dib It end up face downb..." *sneezes* "Much better. Does anyone else feel those statues are a bit worrying? The blood is not from anyone here, has anyone got a wat of checking if it came up through the floor?"
Hinckley Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 "Much better. Does anyone else feel those statues are a bit worrying? The blood is not from anyone here, has anyone got a wat of checking if it came up through the floor?" *Everyone checks their pockets. They're all fresh out of wats...*
Peppermint_M Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 "Sorry voice in the sky, it seems I have spent a very long time on my face... Can anyone think of a way to check if it came through the floor, or even just how deep it is?"
iamded Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Blood! Monk! Pool! Hey, a swimming pool. This could have been a wonderful vacation, if not for all the monsters and murder. So it seems the floating crown and skull and what-not were hallucinations, according to the ghostly Monk I saw. That... wasn't a hallucination, right? Speaking of the puddle of blood,I would like to gingerly smell the puddle of blood and then go around smelling everyone else to see if the scent matches anybody. You're weird. Penny brings up a good point: the statues! I would like to raise the statues' lowered arms (that is, their right arms) and see if that does anything. If not, I'd like to lower all their arms. Each of the statues arms, left and right. All the arms, to be clear. That is if they're even able to be moved.
Fugazi Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Ah, that was a great nap! I dreamt of cooking pies, feeding cats and knitting mittens for my 40-year old dead baby boy Quentin... or woollen panties? I'm not sure anymore. All the sort of things old people like me do. Um, is it just my old eyes or is there a strange light in the room on the left? Beneath the leftmost arch? I would like to get closer and have a look.
Bob Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I'd like to remove both swords from the walls, one at a time to see if anything happens. Hm, I think I'd also like to stand as far away from Mr. Owen as possible. When I'm done with the swords, I'd like to examine the clip-holder thing at the top of the stairs, and see if there's anything we can put in there.

I would like to get closer and have a look. *Diana checks the spot where something is shimmering. She sees the old vines there have grown over a number of old LEGO bricks. She doesn't waste any time removing the brick from the vines. (See how the smartass voice is letting things move along more quickly this time?)* Chapter 1 Challenge You have 12 hours to complete this challenge. To participate you must post "Challenge: begin" in this thread when you start trying to build (or figure out) the creation. Post "Challenge: complete" when you are finished. PM the picture to me, do not post it in this thread. If it is incorrect, you won't know until I can respond, so make sure you get your complete time recorded in the thread. Whoever has the fastest time will be declared the winner. You are on the honor code. This method is to be fair to all time zones so do not cheat! If you need to make a correction, it is more difficult to measure that time. Since all of these creations are simple and the instructions are out there , corrections will be counted at 1 second per part moved... The winner will nominate three members of the group, who will then choose two tour group members to receive clues about the murderer. I'd like to remove both swords from the walls, one at a time to see if anything happens. When I'm done with the swords, I'd like to examine the clip-holder thing at the top of the stairs, and see if there's anything we can put in there. *The swords cannot be removed right now.* *You cannot reach the top of the stairs as there is some rubble in the way.*
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I assume having the right colors isn't necessary as long as you can tell how it's built? Challenge Begin
