It was time to move on again. Hobert booted one of the skeletons to the side of the platform with a smirk. It toppled slightly, dangling off the edge. Fortunately this didn't upset the balance much. Mark still took care when crossing to the opposite door. This platform never felt good to walk across. He pushed the door release and was glad to be back on solid ground.
Overhead the lights flickered on and off moodily. They gave the place an eerie feel. The ransacked boxes and shelves didn't help. It was strange how this place had been abandoned and why a place like this even existed down here at all. The boxes were all empty so whatever the purpose, it had long since passed.
Airlea and the others followed behind him. Against the wall was a bed, but it was worse for wear and the damp and mould had seeped into it, giving a rank odour to the air. Brittany once again turned her nose up. She was doing that a lot lately
Hobert opened and closed a closet on the wall but that too was empty. There were pieces of burnt and screwed up paper on the floor. Nothing salvageable. The damp had crept into those too. He walked away and headed for the rusted metal staircase. It may have been the cleanest thing in the room. It felt stable enough as he climbed up. The room was twice the length of a standard room with the stairs consuming the entire lower half. To the West at the top was another door.
He sat down on the stairs and dozed off. Things had been quiet lately.
It is now Phase 56. Phase 56 will end in roughly 24 hours from now.

This room is bigger than we thought?
Pokemon Master @ 26/5/2013 0:42
Sigh...
Pokemon Master @ 26/5/2013 0:44
Wait which room did we come from?

(I am still alive, just still feel shit. Maybe back on later.)

*put boxes on shelves*
*straighten up room*
##search for anything useful
In 8 hours or so I should have this place looking better :)

Interesting.

I've been thinking about where we go from the stairs. The plan is to explore the SW, I believe. We're also in the future and heading into an area that's unexplored. The traps in the future seem to be more lethal than those in the past. Would it be beneficial to teleport to the past and explore this area from there? By having room numbers I could scan our current rooms and know what the future parallel of each contains but maybe with less risk to the group overall. Figured this was a quiet phase and a good time to discuss what we are doing next.
Head Knight Mark @ 26/5/2013 13:09
Good plan.
I think we thought the stairs were more than they are, I guess.
Queen Sophia @ 26/5/2013 13:09
I think traveling in the past as much as possible is the best course
Airlea @ 26/5/2013 13:22
Only issue with that will be loss of walkie contact unless they also do the same. I have some scans of rooms that we haven't been to yet, so maybe between those and the rooms each group discovers I could scan enough to help both groups.

This is the last I have before he teleported back.
Airlea @ 26/5/2013 16:36
The east exit from 8166 would be 1288.
Tribute Peter @ 26/5/2013 17:08
Hmmm well maybe you could bring up the idea of traveling in the past to them as well. If we have no reason to be in the future I don't think it's wise to be though. Same could be said for them, no?
Tribute Peter @ 26/5/2013 17:08
Good thinking though, Airlea.
Pokemon Master @ 26/5/2013 18:09
I'm heading home from vacation and then I will be on more. Not a very busy time right now though but I will be around.
Airlea @ 26/5/2013 18:15
Have a safe trip Master Hobert :)
Queen Sophia @ 26/5/2013 18:35
Prince Hobert the Brave
Dennis @ 26/5/2013 18:51
How close are we to the stairs?
Airlea @ 26/5/2013 18:58
Dennis @ 26/5/2013 18:51
How close are we to the stairs?
We're there! They are the bottom half of the room we are currently in. The exit we are taking is the west exit at the top of the stairs.
Airlea @ 26/5/2013 19:02
If anyone has a list of known rooms and could scan through this list to make sure I have them all included, I would appreciate it. There will be other rooms as well, but that's not the issue, I just want to make sure I have at least all known rooms either past or future noted. Thanks!
I found the Guardian in the NW corner! It's going to be very interesting to get to that room :\ But, that makes 3 of the 4 with known numnbers and 2 known location numbers.
Future room:
standard size
one exit to the south
solid ice statue in the middle of the floor
strange mechanism beneath it
man in suit of armour with a sword, leaning backwards
Past room:
standard size
no conventional exits
room is a small island to east and south is green water
middle of room is purple vortex that shows the white of the room
water is rough, storm overhead with lightning and wind
Airlea @ 26/5/2013 21:02
Oh, the number is 6214.

Odd. Wonder where the purple vortex will be? Perhaps the storm room/Neptune?
Airlea @ 26/5/2013 21:23
I need to read back because it seems like we hit a purple vortex already, didn't we?
Kristoff the Grey @ 26/5/2013 21:41
It rings a bell, yes.
Queen Sophia @ 26/5/2013 21:58
Yeah it sounds familiar.
Willis @ 26/5/2013 22:21
The group readied themselves. It was time to move on.
Phase 56 will end in about an hour's time. Anybody who has not yet posted an exit action may do so. No other actions can be used, and no existing exit actions can be changed.
Airlea @ 26/5/2013 22:34
The key seems to be that it mentions the white of the room within the vortex. The other times I found mention of a purple vortex it is usually talking about a portal that has been created and it talks about purple and black but I didn't find a specific mention of purple and white. :\
5648 (Scan room) - large chasm contains a glowing purple vortex (doesn't mention white)
