Klaus hobbled awkwardly into the Northern room. He didn't know what lay beyond. He was moving first a lot lately. But he shuddered. It was a pretty rough run for him right now.

He stumbled in and came across the shoe on the floor which he toyed with thoughtfully. The other 9 followed and stood around looking up to the North. This room was...very different to all the others they'd seen.

The doors were all set into the Southern part of the room where they stood. They could access them with no issue. They weren't the problem doors. The problem doors...

There was a locked exit to the North. And it was a problem.

In between them, and it were two scythes swinging endlessly. One was placed in front of the other. In between the two was a small clearing where they could probably stand. A skeleton lay on the ground with its head cleaved off in one of the scythe alcoves.

Jeff nervously walked forwards. They seemed to be moving to a precise pattern.

In theory...they could all run through and make it to the middle. In theory...and then run through to the other side and hit the Northern door. In practice the timing would have to be precise.

He looked around at the others.

"We have to be pretty careful here guys..." He said nervously.

Klaus stared on open mouthed. Malarkey hobbled forwards on his cane and sighed.

"Some of us aren't as nimble anymore."

Helios nodded as he cradled his arm stump miserably.

"Yeah, that." He said with a frown.

Jeff shrugged.

"We need to decide and go for it."

To get beyond the scythes to the Northern exit, you must time your movements right. There are two scythes. To move beyond them you must post ##Scythe: North or ##Scythe: South depending on the direction you wish to move. You must do this twice, one for each scythe.

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 Northern 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 18 hours to move through an available exit.

Jeff. Please. Tell me about Hupu and Randolph.

lol what about them? Hupu never spoke when I was with him and you know Randolph better then I do!

Why you do not trust them. I guess Hupu does not talk. He just follows. Like dead weight.
