Maria walked over to the Southern exit with a look of fear in her eyes. She hadn't wanted to do this but...well...somebody had to.
"If I die just....just make sure to find it." She said. Helm and Sophia both nodded reassuringly. Maria nodded back. It was time to do this.
She pressed the door release gently and walked South into unknown territory. The door slammed shut behind her as she went. The room she was now stood in was twice the length of a standard room. There was only one other exit, to the far South. She moved across the floor as swiftly as she could, hoping to cover the entire length before the others arrived. It was important to be thorough.
There was a green haze to the air that gave the room an unpleasant aura. Maria didn't care for it one bit. Overhead there was a dark smog, tinged green by whatever forces were in the air. She could make something out, beyond the cloudy murk but it was hard to see. It was metallic looking whatever it was.
As she strode across the floor she noticed there were scorch marks on the floor and signs of erosion. This didn't look good. There was a sudden drip of water from up above. She caught the drip on the side of her hand and recoiled instantly in pain. This wasn't water. This was weak acid. It stung.
Then the heavens opened.
The smog cleared just enough that she could see a nozzle up above burst forth. She had the fast instinct to shut her eyes as it started coming down. In merging with the smog above, the water turned green and foul, burning her skin all over. She let out yelps of pain as the door opened and the others stood and watched, helpless to come to her aid.
"Don't come....don't come in!" She screamed. Her skin was raw from the pummeling of the green liquid.
Finally the nozzles sealed and she fell to the floor, steam rising from her. Helm rushed over and leaned down to support her but recoiled at the touch of her still damp arm. This substance really hurt. Maria's body was blistered and red but she was still alive. She lay groaning as she turned over, helping herself back upright.
It is now Phase 40. Phase 40 will end in roughly 24 hours from now.

*breathes heavily from pain* It burns.
Maria @ 7/5/2013 23:03
It's a severe injury. If I get hit like that again, I'll die.
Andrael @ 7/5/2013 23:03
Such cruel traps Willis placed around here. Maria I hope you are ok.
Airlea @ 7/5/2013 23:04
Maria @ 7/5/2013 23:03
It's a severe injury. If I get hit like that again, I'll die.
:( Let's hope our healer is still with us and you will be all better soon.
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man,
but he is brave five minutes longer.
I'm glad too. Even though it hurts, I'd rather be alive.
Kristoff the Grey @ 8/5/2013 1:03
So this room is not a parallel too.
Brittany @ 8/5/2013 1:03
Maria.. I'm so sorry! Willis is cruel. Disgusting.
WILLIS, CAN YOU HEAR ME? I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT. I HATE YOU.
Helm @ 8/5/2013 1:04
Kristoff the Grey @ 8/5/2013 1:03
So this room is not a parallel too.
as far as I can tell the past of this room is under water.
Kristoff the Grey @ 8/5/2013 1:06
I really feel that NW room is important but I guess there is little we can do about that right now.
Peter Mallick @ 8/5/2013 2:30
Maria I hope you are ok :( This doesn't seem like an injury I should use the medikit on but I will do what the group thinks is best. Thank god you are not killed. <3
Kristoff the Grey @ 8/5/2013 6:46
South is not trapped.
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 7:26
Ohh Maria I am glad you were not killed, but sad that you were injureed. I am sure you will be healed in one way or another.
And I do not like this future crap, acid, pipes, steel doors ... making me feel uneasy. Lets go back to the past as soon as we can.
I am terribly sorry I was not there with you at the end of last phase. (exams)
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 7:32
Also, as much as I like Pai and trust her, If she wont communicate the next 45 hours I vote on her taking the hit instead of Sophia.
I know she said she would be somewhat inactive, but I'm getting annoyed.
YOU HEAR ME PAI!
*STILL SHAKING PAI*
*SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE*
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 7:34
Good morning Sophia
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 7:44

Kristoff the Grey @ 8/5/2013 7:46
Good Morning Balagor. Good night sleep?
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 7:57
Kristoff the Grey @ 8/5/2013 11:46
Good Morning Balagor. Good night sleep?
Meeeh, it was alright.
I am used to hearing the wind and sounds of nature.
Not sleeping in a steel room with pipes, magic metal ropes and acid in the walls.
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 8:03
Morning General
Sophia @ 8/5/2013 8:03
Good Morning Balagor
Kristoff the Grey @ 8/5/2013 8:04
Good Morning Sophia! Feeling any effects?
General Mikhail Chuikov @ 8/5/2013 8:07
Good to see you alive Maria, our healer is still watching over us I think.
I agree with Balagor that Pai Chan is not very useful at the moment. Should we give her until half of next phase to speak? I would much rather have someone active than inactive in our group.
General Mikhail Chuikov @ 8/5/2013 8:07
Where are my manners.
Morning all.

Yes, half a phase should be sufficient.

pff .. damnit Pai

And I agree with the others in regards to Pai and also traveling as soon as possible.

Kristoff the Grey @ 8/5/2013 8:27
Has Hobert said anything regarding his life/Sophia?
I do hope the healer hasn't perished yet. We have had a lot of losses recently.

Not sure about Hobert, but Maria´s survival does indicate that healer is still among us.
General Mikhail Chuikov @ 8/5/2013 8:45
How much time next phase will you have Sophia? Half phase for Pai to speak up too much? Mostly rests on you if you are okay with this plan.
General Mikhail Chuikov @ 8/5/2013 8:45

Sophia @ 8/5/2013 8:47
I have until the end of Phase 41, so that's fine.
Helm @ 8/5/2013 9:21
##Exit: south
Unless Katy was the doctor I think they are still among us.
With the south untrapped moving on seems most reasonable.
We will soon be back in 9238 I feel.
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 9:23
Morning Helm!
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man,
but he is brave five minutes longer.
Discussing sacrificing my life....again is something nice to wake up to!
have we discussed it this morning?
I think we've moved on to a possible pai.
Kristoff brought it up...again...
Airlea @ 8/5/2013 7:37
Hobert @ 8/5/2013 9:35
Discussing sacrificing my life....again is something nice to wake up to!
I want to hear from you and where your thoughts are with everything. How about you tell us what you think about it?
I'm glad you're actually asking me instead of just bringing me up. and offering my life. That feels nice. It's why I trust you.
Anyways I have been thinking about it and Sophia is someone I'd be willing to sacrifice my life for.
But I have also mentioned my concerns which is you all think I'll come back evil...so basically if I do this I'll be signing over this game to misery and you guys won't trust me with anything, my claims, and if I were to get up and leave, I'd be kill on sight.
If I sacrifice myself to save Sophia which I'm willing to do I would just say beforehand regardless of what I come back as I will leave.
I already feel very tightly constricted so this will make things 10x worse.
I guess this is the bad part about claiming my role but better than you guys watching me revive and I wouldn't have time to explain. With things that have happened in the past I wouldn't be surprised if you guys lynched me before I had time to explain. it's better this way but it also sucks.
Andrael @ 8/5/2013 11:52
Hobert I would not let anyone lynch you if you were to do such a noble sacrifice.
Hobert @ 8/5/2013 11:55
Andrael @ 8/5/2013 9:52
Hobert I would not let anyone lynch you if you were to do such a noble sacrifice.
No I meant if I didn't role claim and you all saw me revive...you would freak out.
But it's not about lynching it's the fact no one would trust me from the moment I revive onwards. This game will suck for me from that point on.
I know it's always a concern but the person who got revived last lab didn't revive bad and he went off fine until he died again. I know that doesn't matter, but it's something to think about. I think I'll be just fine but we won't know for sure.
General Mikhail Chuikov @ 8/5/2013 11:59
I agree with Andrael. I would not lynch you Hobert.
Hobert @ 8/5/2013 12:00
General Mikhail Chuikov @ 8/5/2013 9:59
I agree with Andrael. I would not lynch you Hobert.
But you wouldn't trust me either.
I'm saying if I do this for her I'll be happy to. But I'm leaving the group.
Hobert @ 8/5/2013 12:01
Plus, Pai plans (say that 5 times fast) to come back and she has a valuable role. Would hate to kill off something so helpful.
Maria @ 8/5/2013 12:05
You don't have to leave just because of that.
Dennis @ 8/5/2013 12:06
I see no cons in pushing Pai forth. She has the other walkie and we need it.
Hobert @ 8/5/2013 12:06
Maria @ 8/5/2013 10:05
You don't have to leave just because of that.
Do you know how much control Kristoff will try to have over my situation.
He offers me up every chance he gets. it's like he is waiting for me to die. :P
Dennis @ 8/5/2013 12:09
As with the discussion with Rhea, her role is not valuable if she's not here to use it.
General Mikhail Chuikov @ 8/5/2013 12:09
Essentially it is Sophia´s decision. I would like to hear what she thinks and who she is going to choose.
Maria @ 8/5/2013 12:10
Hobert @ 8/5/2013 12:06

Sophia @ 8/5/2013 12:37
I trust Hobert personally and I wouldn't want him on his own when revived. I was always leaning towards Pai. Hobert was only ever an option for me if she came back. I guess I could pick Hobert but I'd like him to stick with us.
Airlea @ 8/5/2013 12:37
Hobert, thanks for sharing where you are at with all this and they are all things I had considered would be your concerns. I don't want you to split and would be willing to go with you, but I won't lynch you.
I do hope the pressuring people into actions stops, I'm stil very annoyed about last night. Group mentality please, no one person is in charge.
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 12:49
Hobert, if you will get killed and returned there are more people who would still trust you than not buddy.
Everyone is non-scum until proven guilty, everyone is equal.
If someone has a grudge against someone and plans to act on it he'll get shot or hunted down.
There is no need to run away, as long as Me and other reliable members are here you are safe.
As long as you stay with the group, you are pretty much safe too.
Strength lies within numbers and loyalty, I am here to make sure we have that as long as possible.
Maria @ 8/5/2013 12:49
Last night, I exited first because we were running out of time and I didn't want to waste the phase with Sophia dying. It wasn't because of Kristoff, even though I was annoyed at Kristoff and wanted to tell him off when he asked if I'd ever exited first because I assumed he wanted me to go first.
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 12:51
Also, I want to point out that out the obvious that the group is getting smaller almost by the phase. We should consider trying to find the other group to maximize our survival.
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 12:53
Also, since Maria was forced to exit the last time straight into a trap, she among others who have done the same should not have to take that risk until the rest of us have done the same.
I will take the next trap right in the face if I have to.
Does anyone have a list of those who have taken a hit willingly for the last 20 phases?
Maria @ 8/5/2013 12:55
Helm could pull up that old list of hers and add to it.
Hobert @ 8/5/2013 12:56
This makes me happy!
And so you know Sophia I AM willing to take the hit so you can survive. If this is a beneficial way I can use my role then so be it! I'd be happy to.
Airlea @ 8/5/2013 13:13
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 12:53
Does anyone have a list of those who have taken a hit willingly for the last 20 phases?
Kristoff seemed most concerned about Maria and I being those who hadn't taken an unknown/trapped room, so add me to the list.

I'm glad to hear that's not why you did it.
And the list will eventually reveal our healer, as long as everyone is prepared for that.
Also, Maria, any update on your condition?
Maria @ 8/5/2013 13:22
No update yet.
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man,
but he is brave five minutes longer.
I won't say anymore if people feel a list is best. I've expressed one part of my concern with it in the past, I guess time will tell if the other things I predict to happen actually do.
Balagor Ironfist @ 8/5/2013 17:17
I don't want a list to force someone, just make a argument why someone should go instead of the other. People should stand somewhat equally in this matter.

No this is quite wrong. If you sacrificed it, while it would be difficult to trust you, I would not lynch you on sight.
With Pai inactive its a hard choice but this group doesn't seem very focused on winning and everyone is too afraid of confrontation. When I die the scum are gonna have a holiday in this group because most are too selfish to speak up as they are afraid of being killed.
Airlea @ 8/5/2013 19:52
Kristoff the Grey @ 8/5/2013 19:39

So you are the only person keeping this group together then?
Kristoff the Grey @ 8/5/2013 19:53
And Airlea while you have not exited first your role is crucial to us winning/survival. Maria's supposed role only helps herself (no one else who has claimed has such a role) and she is for sure hiding aspects of her role. And people have agreed with me via the walkies!
Kristoff the Grey @ 8/5/2013 19:54

No far from it. How many scum have I found?

Kristoff, you're not the group scumhunter. Sorry.
