I just had a thought. I really hope that since Cerberus (likely) just murdered someone based on what Leos said, that he doesn't transport back to his lair after he has claimed a victim. That certainly wouldn't be good..

Were the other rooms basically dead ends too? As in our only way to make progress is to push back past his lair?

I would say yes but with the shifting I don't know. That rendered a lot of stuff questionable, but it seems like the shuttle tracks would need to stay fairly consistent. If not noting them on the map themselves, be keeping a list I would think. I wanted to start doing that with the "color" of rooms, too. How the last one we were in had a purple hue. I know we have seen red, green, and others on our journey. I asked towards the end of the phase if anyone had noticed this. I wasn't around if anyone had any further comments on it.

The shading of the rooms was actually the first thing that I thought to keep track of at the start of our journey. It just stuck out to me that each one seemed to have a different glow and I thought it could be important, but then it took a back seat and I didn't end up writing them down

I've just been wanting to make sure no one active and adding to discussions feels left out with an empty pack. I believe I asked Iron Face last round.

Nope, we can move South from 2399. The white boxes with ? represent rooms that are there, but we didn't go in that direction. Dark gray boxes mean that there was no option to exit there

Other than the Ante Room and Phase 19 I have all of the opening room flavors, so I should be able to compile a list to see if anything comes of it. I noticed it before now but for some reason didn't think anything of it until we hit the Purple room. I guess because red just seemed like a basic color that would be down here, and green seemed to happen around plant life.

(Should have said I THINK I have them all other than that. I'm not positive, but I should since Natalie was helping me out when I wasn't paying 100% attention.)

Taken a look at the list can't hurt. Something to discuss while we wait around in this room if anything

Taking*

Time for me to head to bed tho, so I won't be able to take part in that discussion tonight. Night!

Niney, would you be able to post the flavors from Phases 19-21. I slipped up the last few days.

(hockey playoffs keep distracting me from my nightly ritual of tidying up my journal.)

Sure, give me a minute to get it all together.

(I don't have 19 unfortunately)

Ninefingers @ 17/4/2012 18:14 Natalie @ 17/4/2012 18:10 Willis @ 16/4/2012 20:18 "Amigos, this way please." Eduardo pressed the release and disappeared beyond. There was a silence. MLWW looked around at the group and then shrugged. Whatever. Time to get this stupid thing over with. He pressed the release to re-open the door and stepped through. There was a creepy silence as he walked to the figure in the centre of the room. Eduardo was staring with his back turned. MLWW paused and glanced around. The glowed a sickening purple colour. It was very dark and very unsettling. Overhead a shuttle platform loomed towards the East with an orange ring painted around the sealed metal door. MLWW glanced Northwards, Southwards and maybe...Westwards. All of the doors were normal. None of them were large. None of them had an eye. MLWW scanned the floor. The room was not particularly warm for the environment down here and there were no rivers. The floor was purple, and covered in a strange scaly substance. All over the walls, strange alien looking pods glowed in the awful purple light. Eduardo turned around. His eyes were bright red. Eduardo grinned at MLWW menacingly. The door behind opened as the rest of the group poured in. Kiwi glanced at the doors, the lack of the river and at the sinister looking Eduardo. He reached towards his pack swiftly and pulled out the machete. Eduardo laughed in his sweet Spanish tones which quickly devolved into a malevolent cackle. The pods on the walls began to glow strangely in shades of yellow and blue. They throbbed as they let out unsettling hues. The throbbing came alongside an awful squelching noise. As the pods glowed, so did Eduardo. He lurched forwards smiling. "My poder......amigos......hombres......." "My poder.....is in.....this room......" He cackled loudly as Kiwi ran forward, stabbing the old man in the chest before pulling back. The figure looked down at this wound and cackled some more before thrusting an arm out and sending Kiwi hurtling into a nearby wall hard. The room began to shake and rumble as the orchestra of throbbing pods overtook all of the senses. The figure of Eduardo lurched and jerked uncomfortably. The figure spasmed repeatedly as it fell forwards and back. It jerked out limbs at strange angles. Then it shook full bodily with each glow and growled. The growl turned into a heart-stopping shriek. It was the most hellish and ungodly sound any of the group had ever heard. The shriek filled the air and made all of their bones shiver. It thrust out its arms which were throbbing. The shirt ripped as the figure's chest jutted out and it grew to an alarming size. The legs became thick and heavy. The arms became enormous. The once frail old man lurched off the ground. Its shoulder-blades began to jut out into horrible looking horns. Its neck stretched upwards and the flesh on the face retracted until it was skin tight. The red eyes changed to pitch black, like staring into oblivion. Its hair spread and became white and rugged. Then its body jerked as two extra arms forced their way out of the mass of flesh. Looking on the group were shaken with terror. Natalie scrunched up her eyes. It was making her sick. Iron Face joined her as Walter stood in front of both for protection. Ninefingers rushed across the room to the recumbent Kiwi and helped him upright. Kiwi snarled. The figure's...transformation completed. The beast hissed and snarled. Then it growled a hoarse, gravelly growl before screaming out once more. The screams were loud and horrible. On large, spindly, bounding legs it dashed towards the group. Lurching out with one of its enormous forearms it grabbed a hold of MLWW. MLWW yelled in agony as the beast hoisted him off the ground and held him in place with razor sharp talons. The talons tore into his flesh along his arms as blood trickled out. It then licked its lips, holding the figure of MLWW high in the air before tearing off an arm with enormous, razor-sharp teeth. MLWW shrieked in agony as his arm was wrenched clean off. The figure continued to bite in the most gruesome manner. Ninefingers lurched around the side of the beast, nodding calmly. The beast looked down and shrieked, attempting to grab him with a second arm as Ninefingers lurched forward, smashing his full weight against the beast's lower body. It tumbled backwards a little bit and let out a blood-curdling scream. The machete was sunk into its neck at a very awkward angle. It stumbled and faltered around letting out wails and yelps as it teetered this way and that. Ninefingers nodded once more as King Frostilicious tore the pods from the wall, one by one. After about the third attempt the creature wailed out and lashed forwards at the King but it trippled and gurgled as it smacked against the floor. Walter White lurched forwards and jumped, full bodily onto its head. There was an unholy shriek as the beast lay motionless and crushed. A large serpent-like tongue hung out to the side. It was finally dead. Disgusting fluid seeped from its body. There was a whimpering in the corner of the room. The collective eyes turned to look at Leos clutching his shoulder. He shook his head and tried not to make eye contact. Another gurgle followed causing everybody to turn their eyes once more. A crushed and battered MLWW lay in the middle of the room. One of his arms was quite a distance away from his body. The pool of blood that had formed beneath him was unsettlingly large. The figure was smiling. Jeffrey walked over and helped turn his body around. The vest he was wearing was completely intact but the rest of him wasn't. Deep wounds gushed from his neck and lower body. His face was quite torn up. He was smiling. "I.....I c-....I cant hear...the-..." MLWW's eyes closed softly for the very last time. He was dead. You each have 24 hours to move through an available exit.

Everybody jerked around to look nervously. The body of the Wendigo shifted a little as the group went for their collective weaponry. MLWW kicked forth and knocked the body back a little bit, crawling to stand up on his one remaining arm. He was shaking a little unsteadily but he shook himself and stood fully upright.

Ninefingers @ 18/4/2012 10:14 Willis @ 17/4/2012 14:41 The door to the West opened as the figure walked in. It was nursing its head rather tenderly. A large gash was visible on the side. It glared at King Frostilicious intently before scanning the rest of the room. It saw a giant...what was that? Beast on the floor. The beast was horrible. It was gigantic and had four arms with white hair growing down in a frightful mane. The deep black eyes looked very dead. G followed the trail of blood along the room coming to stop at the corpse of MLWW. MLWW's face had been battered in beyond recognition but G could still tell who it was. Blood surrounded his remains and the walls. One of his arms was torn off. It lay a distance away on the floor. Around the walls were a number of alien looking pods. Some of them were torn off, others were still standing. The entire room had a disgusting purple hue to it. G glanced up at everybody. "Group explain what has been GoinG on..." G murmured. You each have 24 hours to move through an available exit.

Ninefingers @ 18/4/2012 10:44 Willis @ 18/4/2012 10:24 As the group stood around and prepared to make their room, there was a buzzing sound. They span around curiously to look at the device which was descending from the ceiling. They recognised it from the ante-room. It was the same turret that had come down on that fateful day. King Frostilicious froze in fear as it approached him. Then it continued to spin around wildly until it fixed on its target. There was a tremendous blast as a shot fired from the turret in a flurry of light. Shots blasted out one after the other repeatedly. The room was filled with a clanking noise as the gunfire blasted over and over, filling the air with noxious smoke and the vision with flashing lights. Finally it came to a rest and swerved back around a couple of times before ascending into the ceiling with a click. The turret was completely gone. The group stood around to see who was accounted for nervously. In the corner of the room was a cough. They rushed over to the figure lying in a pool of ever increasing blood. Leos looked upwards with tears in his eyes. Blood was spouting out of him uncontrollably. His body as riddled with wounds. He coughed up some blood onto the wall and smiled weakly. "I..........it hurtt....s....." He coughed once again. "But it......it's my....pain........just once....." He smiled as he scrunched up his eyes. A solitary tear fell down his cheek. "L-....look after.....her.....my s-sop...hia...." He coughed again and slumped back down. Ninefingers grabbed his arm reassuringly. "You be seeing her off yourself Leos. Don't be talking so crazy now. You be with her when we reach the exit." Leos shook his head sombrely. "K....kendra.....my.....kendra.....my babies......." "It......it's.......the pain........it is going....." Leos smiled up at the faces of his friends dreamily. "I'm..........it's all gone......" Leos' eyes closed and he slumped back on the floor. Ninefingers reached down for his pulse and there was nothing. Natalie walked over sadly. "What is it Niney?" She asked fighting back the tears. Ninefingers glanced over, keeping his head held high. "He's gone." Everybody in the group walked over to the body of Leos resting peacefully in the corner. His face looked almost happy. Ninefingers looked up at the ceiling with a scowl on his face. "Whoever be up there....whoever be watching this....whoever be treating us like little rats in a twisted maze and playing with the lives of men. Whatever bastards be amongst you....we're coming." "Watch out for us. We'll be there." He walked over to the wall and punched downwards angrily. The King just stared in silence at the very peaceful body of their friend.

I say we be going to Gamefaqs.com and looking for a Labyrinth 2 walkthrough. Why I not be seeing this before?

time for some sleep, I'll check back later
