Arim: Course 4 since this a subversive death game show.

The door opens and one can see the six courses.

The course marked "1" is a ball pit that's covered in slime that leads to a rock climbing tower, with a small box at the top.

The course marked "2" is a narrow tunnel that one has to crawl on their belly to navigate, and on the other side of the tunnel the path leads to three big red balls over a pool of water that leads to a platform that's high above the water, with no ladder leading from the water to said platform. The only ladder is at the beginning of the pool. A small box it on the high platform surrounded by water.

The course marked "3" is a narrow and curvy platform over a mud pit. The path then leads to a stairway that lead to a high platform above a pit of rotting apples and pumpkins. There are logs swinging across the platform to knock anybody who isn't quick to enough to react to fall into the rotting pit, forcing whoever fell in the climb up the stairs again. A small box is at the end of the high platform.

The course marked "4" leads to a pit of assorted bones from various creatures. At the end of the pit is a Grim Reaper character wearing boxing gloves, who is guarding the door to a stone tower. The tower is covered in vines that makes traveling through it difficult. At the top of the tower is a small box.

The course marked "5" leads to a funhouse in which that path seems to go through a mirror maze, a room that straps someone in before spinning around and making said person dizzy right before said person enters a vortex room, and at the end is a room that has a dunk tank in which a small metal box is sitting on the target.

The course marked "6" leads to a rope maze. At the end of the rope maze is a spiral staircase that leads to a zip-line. Going all the way to the end of the zip-line would cause the user to overshoot their target path and end up at a mud pit, in which they have to go along the marked path back to the start of the zip-line again. The target path is marked by a net underneath the middle of the zip-line to catch anyone who lets go of the zip-line. The target path leads to a well, with a small box in the bucket at the bottom of the well.

Zodiac:   It's not too late to change courses right now. That is until you enter one. Then it's too late.

"Well, I don't see a reason to back down from this challenge now. I won't fail, but I can always get a new outfit. Just going to tuck the crown away..."

But I'm off to bed.

Continuing as Eric, unless stated otherwise. I doubt an Eldritch Abomination would be very good in a game show anyway.

Eric steps into Course 2, flicking away his now-soggy toothpick. He looks around at the course, before eloquently summing up the situation.

"Well, piss."

Jackie steps into Course Five, before being strapped in and spun.

The chair let's him loose, and he staggers into the mirror maze.

Eric drops down to the floor and crawls into the tunnel, cursing whenever his heavy coat got caught inside.

Arim: So are you like on earth of many Grim Reapers or the one true Death?

Murphy, meanwhile, is drowning in the ball pit.

"Foolish ball! Do you really believe you can stop ME?"

More balls crush him

"HELP!"

The Grim Reaper is in reality a ex-boxer that Zodiac hired for the game show, not that the contestant would know that. The Grim Reaper says nothing but punches his boxing punches together in a show of force.

Arim: I guess without vocal cords you don't get the luxury of communication well if you'd kindly move so you can punch my clock another day.

"One of the many benefits...of being a vulpine," comments Nakhta, only slightly winded, "is great agility." She sure seems to be moving at a fast clip across those ropes, hesitating only slightly when deciding which one to swing/bounce to.

The Grim Reaper boxer throws some punches at Arim. Unbeknownst to Arim, the door to the tower is locked and the Grim Reaper has the key on him.

Murphy, covered in slime, eventually makes it out of the ball pit.

"Those balls are lucky they got me on a bad day! If I were at full power, they'd stand no chance!"

He attempts to climb the rock tower, but keeps slipping down due to being covered in slime.

"CURSES!"

The Grim Reaper is knocked over, but retaliates by attempting to deliver an uppercut to Arim.
