Welcome to Gaia! ::

Apparently having forgotten what happened the last time John spoke in that tone Bit let loose a shrill yell as the ground shook and she scrabbled back up onto John causing him to wince as her nails dug into his back. John watched as the door slid a different way this time leaving in it's space only more path to follow." I swear if this is a trap by those islanders to make us get lost and confused and die I'm going to haunt Rachel in the afterlife for this." he snarled. One riddle was fine two was annoying but acceptable but as he jogged down the path he had this feeling that there would be more riddles in between him and getting out of the damned temple. Reaching yet another door he kicked at the floor in frustration how the hell were riddles testing his worthyness.

With Bit clinging to him and shaking John was thankfull at least that she was silent. there was still no sign of Arrin but at least the other pirate would have an easier time of it with John forging ahead. Resuming his typical pacing John began to work out this latest test of his intelligence interested that the carvings had gold fillings. Unfortunately John didn't know this riddle so he was back to thinking about it on his own." Wind it's wind now let me out of here " Giving his awnser this time John bet that the door would side left since it couldn't possibly go up.

The floor shakes underneath John again, the rumbling could be felt through the whole temple. The door rumbled and cracked, then crumbled into dust! More of the path could be seen, but there was some light at the end of it! You better hope that isn't some trick and ends up beign another door!

John and Arrin have another 10 minute break before they can continue into the path to the light. Arrin can use this time to catch up to John at the third door whee

(The timing works from when the riddle is shown, to when an anser is given. Once the answer is declared right or wrong, the time stops. If it is wrong, you take a time penalty and the punshment, if it is right, you go into a 10 minute break that is added to your time. Lowest time wins.

That means that time zones will not affect it as much as it would if it was a normal race. Since this goes by time to answer each riddle correctly after the riddle is revieled.

Arrin was left behind, you should RP that she is trying to catch up. You need to make three posts to make it to the 3rd door that is now opened sweatdrop )

The 10 minutes are up, John can continue down the path to the light, Arrin needs to RP a few posts to get past the doors that John has already opened now sweatdrop

After what seemed to be a very long time, Arrin caught up with her primate companion. "Ah! There you are! What on earth do you mean, running off like that? We're supposed to be back there helping John." Grumbling at the waste of time, Arrin scooped up the monkey and transferred it to her shoulder. "Can't think what's gotten into you." Arrin looked up and was astonished to realize that she was almost back to the entrance of the temple! "Oh great...it'll take forever to catch up now. Let's go...and no running off again!" Arrin set off towards where the door was. When she got there, she found yet another surprise; not only was John no longer there, but neither was the door! There was just an opening into another passageway. John must have gotten tired of waiting for her and gone on. Arrin picked up her pace a little bit, hoping to catch up with him before she got herself lost.

Through the light is a white marble room, near the furthest path, you can see two of your crewmates, Jamie and Nicolas. It seems like this place is a meeting room for the people who were able to pass the three door tests.

Arrin broke through into the light-and stopped abruptly. "Huh...it's not a way out. How strange." Just then she realized that the three other pirates were in the room. "Oh. Hi there. Sorry about that, John...the little scamp just got away from me there for a minute." She indicated the monkey on her shoulder, then lapsed into silence. She really wasn't a good conversationalist, and she didn't have much to say to Nicolas and Jamie anyway. Or John, really...she just wasn't good with people. Then inspiration struck. "I wonder what happened to the others?"
