Role title: Archaeologist



Flavour:
You spend your days excavating the earth looking for old ruins and hallmarks of ancient society. One of the biggest breaks you ever got came very recently though when you were asked to explore a very spooky underground bunker.

It was a strange maze-like place that was long abandoned. There were skeletons in there less than a year old and all manner of machinery and devices. The spookiest of which was an enormous beast-like cyborg, the remains of which had an ancient sword plunged through them.

Your research allowed you to gain a thorough understanding of what these devices did and how they worked. But you recently came to realise that everybody on the expedition to the underground maze had been slowly vanishing.

Just the other day you swore a hooded figure was following you down the street late at night...until the world went dark.

Win condition:
You win if you or any sane prisoners escape whilst you are still alive.

Role Type: Active

Role Ability:
Once per phase you may choose to investigate the surrounding rooms. You will be told whether or not any of them contain a hidden trap.

Please use this thread for submitting any private actions.

Does my role check all rooms and simply tell me if any of them have traps with a yes or no?... or do I have to pick a direction and get this info?

If it's the former, then do my power please.

If it's the latter, I'd like to check the room to the east for traps.

Phase 1 Actions:
Your hand trails across a nearby wall. You think the markings here...and the colours...are...

You close your eyes.

The room to the East contains a trap.

In response to your question: You can scan all surrounding rooms in one go.

Oh wow. I scan all rooms plus I see which has traps. Well damn that's nice.

I'd like to use my role today please.

Phase 3 Actions:
Let's try this again you think calmly. Maybe this wall means...and that gradient of the steel is used to...

You close your eyes.

The room to the West contains a trap.

Well there was a trap so I know I'm not Paranoid... so,
##use power

you responded to my items thread but not this one... I was just wondering if you just missed this one. lol.
I'm probably guessing two adjacent rooms aren't trapped, but it's worth an ask.

I did but I'm cycling through the action threads to double check. It's been quite a busy phase.

Will post now.

Phase 4 Actions:
Hmmm. Is there likely to be two trapped rooms side by side? Usually when the ceiling dips like that the answer is...

You close your eyes.

None of the surrounding rooms contain a trap.

Thanks, man.

Ok, I'd like to use my role again (curious if I could spot a trap in the locked room.

Phase 5 Actions:
How to detect a closed off room. You muse over this but maybe if you tap the lock...examine the chain length and feel the warmth of the door...

Your hand recoils because it's so hot. Right right...the underworld thing. You close your eyes to focus.

The room to the West contains a trap.

Well, kinda walked into a sort of trap... but let me use my power again.
