Klaus marched up to the Northern exit as the rest of the group followed. These were troubling times. He pressed the release and they awkwardly walked through into the room beyond.

It was very dark and creepy. Ninefingers shuddered as he stepped through past the cobwebs and the dead trees and the fungus on the ground. He knew this room well. He looked awkwardly at Alex and Jeffrey who nodded miserably. This was where their troubles all started.

It was empty now. That was a welcome relief but it still gave him the chills. A powerful UV light allowed the artificial garden to grow. In the centre of the floor, a rather colourful plant was flowering. It didn't seem to fit with the dark nature of the room. Ninefingers stared at it in puzzlement and shook his head.

Best to keep on moving.

You each have about 22 hours to move through an available exit.

This is where we met the Wendigo. Eduardo.

Creepy place.

*Ninefingers scratched his chin and peered curiously at at the flower*

I don't think this was here last. Be there a gardener down here?

At least, it wasn't focused on in the flavor when we last passed.

oh men flower of hope!

I don't recall a flower or a UV light, just spiders

If we be picking this Flower of Hope we shall be able to defeat all that is thrown our way quite obviously. Waving it before us as we walk into the gates of Hell. I just couldn't smell it because of my allergies, obviously. It is the Highlander.

if we present the flower of hope to Charon Im sure it'll melt his hardened heart and he'll move aside :)

I be recalling the memory exactly in my journal. UV lights, yes. They were descried as lighting a monstrosity or something, not the Flower of Hope.

Spoiler	+
The room was full of plant life all round. It was green but not in a pleasant way. In a dark, dead, wintery sort of way. There were two large dead trees looming over everything. Kiwi looked upwards at the two UV lights that were creating this artificial monstrosity and frowned.

There was this, too:

Spoiler	+
In between the two was a shaded glass tunnel. It moved from the West right through to the East. Frosti sat down on his pack rubbing his eyes and squinting. He massaged his temples momentarily and shook his head. At the back of the room there were a series of very large cobwebs that glistened in the dim gloom. A variety of mushrooms and fungi sprouted up beneath on the dank mossy floor.

A fucking spider will probably grab one of us this time.

If I had any water I would water the Flower of Hope so it grows stronger.

Surely this flower will take Charon's head off

So should I scope South again to see if anyone moved into either the Cerb Tracking Room or Chamber of Souls, or West to see possibly nothing since we don't think anything was going to be moving north and past Cerberus?

Wait for Malarkey?

Surely this flower will take Charon's head off

But one mere petal from the Flower of Hope shale cleave Charon's neck in twain. He would kneel in reverence to the flower of hope. And then he might try to smoke the flower of hope by the looks of him if we don't behead him quickly.

I wondered if any of the plant life we came across would wind up growing if we stumbled back through. I think the room Natalie was poisoned in was also full of vines and such. Probably a vine rape trap now since there be tentacles everywhere. Everything under the sun but a centaur. And I keep thanking the seven for that one.
