-Six moves up the staircase carefully, aware that if something catches them in the stairwell, they're dead-

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Plot

-Well, the door seems safe enough-

-The riddle goes...-

If you break me,
I do not stop working.
If you touch me,
I may be snared.
If you lose me,
Nothing will matter.

Tell me who I am.

Six: Blackjack, even if you sent us sprawling you're probably the best lockpick we've got. Think you can handle this?

Starling: "Hmmm... "if you lose me, nothing will matter"... your Willpower? Although that doesn't really work with the second line... hmmm... what continues to function if you break it, but can have consequences when lost... oh! Time?" surprised

Plot

-There's a very long silence, then another small inscription appears under the riddle. It strangely enough seems to be being carved out in front of Starling's eyes-

"...wait I should probably have said something about the skull. Oh well." >_>

Plot

-There's an even more barren silence, before another carving is made-

...
You've managed to give me physical pain for the first time in eons. Which I didn't think possible.
What will it take for you to go away then?

Starling: "Oh. Well, Mr. Rude Disembodied Text Person, I'll tell you what I want. I came here because my friends and I were looking for some super ancient magical monkey skull. If you could get me that one, I'd be straight out of here faster than you can say zigazig-ah.

Plot

-The throne room rumbles and slowly descends into the ground, with a golden glow emanating from the hole it leaves. Starlight can tell it's the source of the great evil presence here. One last carving is left for Starlight-

Plot

-The carving reads...-

In my vast horde of wealth my bones have been laid to rest. The head is yours to take...as long as you do not covet any of the other treasures lying in there. If you do, there will be immediate dire consequences.

Starling: "...well then."

~gets up and starts walking over to the whole, humming~

"Down, down, down I climb, gently down the hole~..."

~starts heading down into the hole~

"...merrily merrily merrily merrily, I'm so gonna die~..." >_<

Six: ...you're kidding me, Blackjack decided now was autopilot time.

Fuck it.

-Six assesses what material the door is made of. Given it's wood, she then punches through the door next to the handle, then attempts to unlock/open it from the outside-

Plot

-Well, the material the door was made out of was indeed wood...although Six will also note that the door was unlocked from the start as she opens it-

-And so Starlight descends into the depths. The smell of death is growing much worse here. Roll a d20 to note hurl again-

-Blackjack jolts awake and follows six up the stairs-

Internet exploded, Of course it exploded!

Blackjack: To be honest six, opening doors like that is a much better option than letting me do it.

Six: -attempts to unlock the door-

-nothing-

-attempts to unlock it again-

-nothing-

-attempts to lock it-

-click-

...oooooooh, we never needed to.

-re-unlocks the door, opens it, and peers around-
