Ninefingers pressed the door release and moved onwards. These were grave times and paranoia was rife. They were heading into very hot...unknown territory. He walked into the Western room.

There was a swooshing noise as he entered. He glanced around curiously. The room had a very strange design. He was joined by the other four who tailed in behind.

There was an exit to the North and one both East and West. Overhead a shuttle tunnel ran above their heads from the East, moving West. To the South...was the strange part.

All of the exits were set into the Northernmost part of the room. There was a Southern exit to the far South, padlocked and chained. In front of it there were two sets of alcoves. And repeatedly, in a very strict pattern, something arced on a pole in either.

They were deadly looking, red bladed, double-headed scythes. They arced over and over, swinging and slicing the air menacingly. A skeleton lay far into one of the alcoves. That was encouraging. Ninefingers paused for thought.

They might just be able to dash through into the centre of the two scythes. There was one very close, a sizeable gap, and one towards the far South. If they timed it right...maybe they could make the gap and then similarly make the second run before the scythes stopped swinging.

Alex looked over at the other four.

"Be we wanting to try our luck and dash?" He asked curiously. There was some uncertainty.

To get beyond the scythes to the Southern exit, you must time your movements right. There are two scythes. To move beyond them you must post ##Scythe: South or ##Scythe: North depending on the direction you wish to move.

However these actions can only be posted within the first five minutes of the hour. For example, submitting your movement at 14:06 will not get you past the scythe, but submitting it between 14:00 and 14:05 will. The time on the post will be the time that is counted. Switch your clock settings to GMT for the most accurate measure of the timing system that will be used.

In the case of inactive followers, if you login to view the thread you must submit a movement or else you will get left behind. It can be identified who has viewed the thread or who hasn't. No player will be able to move through the Southern exit if they view the thread and don't pass beyond BOTH scythes. Follows still apply after passing both scythes.

You do not need to move beyond the scythes to exit in any other direction.


You each have about 19 hours to move through an available exit.

Ninefingers stood by the Southern exit with Donovan in tow. Walter and Alex stood by the North, staring down awkwardly and silently.

In the middle of the two scythes, G stood waiting. He took a step forward. The scythe almost sliced him clean in two. Screaming, he backed up a step and held his position.

Ninefingers has passed the scythes and is by the Southern exit. G still needs to cross a second scythe to exit South.

Walter, Donovan, G and Ninefingers stood by the Southern exit as Alex waited to the North silently.

The doors open after much delay. Time to move on.
The thread is now in lockdown. Actions after this point will not go through and movement changes will not be submitted. You may still move if you haven't already done so. All actions that are awaiting results will have the results posted.
