[Faiyloe]

Strait.

[Jetthebinturong]

You come out in a triangular room, directly in front of you is a trap door, there are another two passages to your left

-Take the first left
-Take the second left
-Examine trap door
-Open trap door

[Faiyloe]

"Wots this here," Cath said looking the trap door over.

[Jukka the Sling]

Amazia stepped forward and opened the trap door.

[Jetthebinturong]

Underneath the trapdoor was a ladder leading down, the bottom was illuminated by a faint blue glow

-Ignore ladder and take the first left
-Ignore ladder and take the second left
-Go down ladder
-Go back

[Faiyloe]

"The mouse said that all the passages lead to dead ends the only way out of here is to find a way back to the main room and that would mean going left, wot," She said and started down the first passage.

[Jukka the Sling]

Amazia followed Cath.

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

"Ach," Boris muttered darkly. That ladder had been loking pretty tempting. Wonder what was under there? he thought to himself. He silently followed at the back of the others.

[Jetthebinturong]

OOC: Did she not notice when the door to the main room sealed behind them?

There was something blocking the passage at the end of the tunnel, when pushed, it moved!

-Go back
-Test your strength! (Number, dice, move or stay)

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

"Let's go back," Boris said. Finally! He could at last see what was down that ladder. He lead the way back to the ladder and began down.

[Faiyloe]

OOC:  ... Ok now I remember...  But than if they are trapped and all the passages lead to dead ends then how will they get out?

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

OOC: Magic Rulerz O' Deztruction, 'ov elze?

They came out into a natural cavern, at the centre of the cavern was a lake and on an island in the middle of the lake, stood on a pedestal was a cup that could only be described as a bowl on a stick. The cup was carved from a dark wood and had carvings depicting the symbols of creation according to the druids of the forest, a raven, a giant tree, a snake, a lyre, a squirrel and a dragon. The cup was filled with an eerily glowing green liquid. On the back wall is an inscription reading

"First was the tree, its roots dug deep into the core of the earth and it was able to create all life. The first it created was a raven, Edgar. The raven was a kind and thoughtful creature and he begged the tree to make it someone to talk to so it would not feel so alone, apparently, the tree heard as, in an instant, a large green snake, Nidhoggr, appeared next to the raven. The snake was jovial and friendly and as intelligent as the raven was, they were inseparable friends. Next the tree created Ratatosk the squirrel. At first the squirrel was content with his life but he soon became bored of the raven and the snake and did something unthinkable. He cut a bough from the tree and fashioned it into a lyre, the strings were created through a process known only to Ratatosk. When Ratatosk first played the lyre, he was overjoyed to find that it had inherited the powers of the tree and had power over creation. So Ratatosk played the lyre and from it were birthed many species, the mouse, the rabbit, the hare, the otter, all species came from the lyre. But this was not the only magic known to the lyre, it could do anything its owner could think of and he imagined what mischief he could cause with it. The music of the lyre somehow took a dark turn as Ratatosk used the lyre to create a rift between Edgar and Nidhoggr. He played the lyre until the beasts fought, eventually causing Edgar to cast Nidhoggr out of the tree. To Ratatosk, the great entertainment that Edgar had provided him deserved a reward and he gave the raven mastery of the shadows and made him lord over all darkness. When news of this reached the ears of Nidhoggr, he became enraged and his rage brought on a transformation. You see, the tree had not simply lain idle for all this time, it had been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to revenge itself upon Ratatosk for the strife he had brought the world to. And so Nidhoggr was transformed into a great beast with wings, four legs and a poisonous bite. As he began to fly up the tree to his enemy, Nidhoggr recalled the beast that had made them, once the closest of brothers, the bitterest of enemies. He dragged the squirrel from the tree and consumed him whole. However the dragon was not satisfied, despite recalling his friendship with the raven, Nidhoggr still wanted revenge. The tree saw that once again, the world would be consumed with strife as the two great beasts did battle and, though it pained it to do so, it gave Edgar the power to defeat his foe. He transformed the raven into a mighty eagle, the master of the skies. The beasts battled for many days, but eventually, the eagle was triumphant. He caged his foe in the roots of the great tree to never again see the light of day"

Underneath the inscription is a skeleton of a rat, a book lies at its hand

-Drink from the cup
-Take the cup
-Examine skeleton
-Go back

OOC: Faiyloe, they're in the RIGHT place! 

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

"Now this is more like it!" Boris exclaimed. He reached for the cup, but for some reason something held him back, and so he examined the skeleton. "Poor bloke," he muttered. "Wonder what 'e died of?"

[Jetthebinturong]

There is a book under the skeletons hand, it has an omega symbol on the front
