Reims, Knight of GanymedeHP:100/100 Action: Investigating the scratches on the walls. Interaction Roll: 6 Damage/Healing/Buff Done: N/A Reims let out a small huff when Dering just smiled at him. Reims knew he was being a bit pushy with his worrying, but he couldn’t help it. He wouldn’t bother Dering if he didn’t want the attention, though. It wasn’t as though he wasn’t used to Dering being quiet.
That was fine. He would just keep an eye on Dering and if he looked like he needed help, then he’d be there.
“Weird, I think I found another,” Reims said to Procyon, gesturing to the symbols on the wall.
“I have no idea what these top symbols are. Maybe they match up with something. There must be some significance to the ones below,” he gestured, pointing to how the symbol Procyon found looked like a continuation of the one he'd found.
Reims turned around to speak to the rest of the room.
“Did anyone else find these strange symbols? Maybe they’re important,” he suggested, but then cringed a little, because it might just be coincidence that they looked like something.

Character Name and journal link Mauvian Brioche - Cat FormHP: 50/50 Action: Trying to figure out the code. Interaction Roll: 9 Damage/Healing/Buff Done: N/A A delighted kitty smile was offered to Haldane, but then it fell. Puzzles and codes was not something his brain was quite ready for. Not when the urge to fight and protect was still there! He restrained himself though, letting the others do what they desired to solve the puzzle. After all, he was a guardian, not the leader, or even adventurer in any case! He was content to let them do as they pleased from the comfort of Chang'E's arms, especially after realizing he couldn't see that far anyway. Maybe the poor kitty needed glasses. Everything seemed so confusing, even more so after Haldane held up the info... Nope, brain not working, brain only wired to CRAVE FIGHT. "I think you two are brilliant! You can figure this out, So wise, so very smart. So So proud I am!"Sara Draconia Let's color him a little useless and loopy for now. xD

Lucien - Cat FormHP: 75/75 Action: Warning against the traps. Looking for more dangers. Interaction Roll: 13 Damage Done: N/A Lucien’s eyes narrowed on the lowered square.
“Everyone, please use caution. There’s a pressure plate and tripwire here,” he gestured, and then moved to stand in front of it to prevent anyone from walking past too quickly and stepping on it by mistake.
The last thing he would want to happen is for anyone to get hurt.
While sitting there, keeping his tail from brushing against the wire, he glanced around the room to see if he could locate where the dangers from the traps would come from.

Amarynthos, Knight of the Moon
HP: 100/100
Action: Checking the column Ephesus is looking at, but mostly just staying alert to make sure there's no danger
Interaction Roll: 8
“Ah, Lucien! Good eye,” Amarynthos said proudly, squinting until he saw what the Mauvian had. He and Ephesus would be careful moving forward. For now, he didn’t mind holding back to try and figure out what was going on with this column.
Sessrumnir and Alastor would be proud of them for not running into danger.
Effie had a good eye, too.
“Maybe it’s a trap,” he suggested. “Lucien just found something. Do you see any wires?” he asked, glancing at the column. He just wanted to make sure it was safe for Ephesus to touch. If it had been broken apart and pieced back together…
Who replaced a crumbled column instead of installing a new one? Structurally speaking, Ephesus was right. It didn’t matter how well they pieced it back together, it wouldn’t be as strong, right? If that battle had taken place in this hallway–if one of those things had hit it…
Well, maybe he didn’t have to worry about it. As long as no one stepped on any traps.
Solaris and Asmodeus had been able the shed some light on the decor, but he was still on edge.
Some of the others seemed to have found some clues and symbols, but he wasn’t willing to leave Ephesus to look into them. They didn’t need to be at the front of this, they just needed to be able to help.

Super Sailor Solaris ★
HP: 75
Action: Looking for other scratches on the column
Interaction Roll: 6
Damage Done: N/A
Enemy HP: N/A
The introduction from the Mauvian was especially delightful news to her--she beamed to Lucien, unable to hide the extent of her joy at the chance meeting. She already was pretty fond of guardians, but to know he was bonded to someone she considered a dear friend was... extra warm-fuzzy feelings, somehow. "Pleasure is mine, Lucien. I'm glad to hear Alastor's got more good people he can count on out here." She was genuinely happy for him on that. Though she wasn't sure the extent of the history he'd dealt with, she knew enough to be just... grateful time had brought around good changes and joy into his life. He didn't need to embody his sphere, just use it to fuel his ability to protect those around him.
Asmoedus' response only added to her awe of the place, and the work and care that had gone into the construction. She gave a low, soft whistle of appreciation, making a mental note to see if perhaps she could get the chance to visit more locations in the future. Something told her there'd be more than a few spots she'd enjoy settling down and sketching for long periods...
As she looked over the column though, admiring the delicate carvings, she frowned somewhat as she located something... not so blended in. Gently, she ran a finger over the scratches, noting the deliberate shape carved in. She could hear a few others pointing out scratches (Haldane, Procyon) and one Knight (Reims) in particular called out querying what others found on that front. The senshi by the door (Chang'E) mentioned a keypad...
"I've got a symbol over here, too," she called to the others, lips twitching to the side in consideration. "Don't suppose anyone's found anything to tell what order they go in, huh?"
Lucien's warning about a trap, though, had her making a face. Not shocking... but definitely more to be concerned about when trying to figure out how to open the doors....

Character Name and journal link Chang'E Dss of ElationHP: 50/50 Action: putting some things together (sorry for no coding migrane+phone posting is the devil) Interaction Roll: 17 Damage/Healing/Buff Done:With the senshi coming up and showing him a symbol, he looked between it and the keypad. It was a bit hard to tell given the one on the phone wasn’t as clear but then as someone else called out about symbols, he turned to look towards the rest of the group.
“There’s a keypad over here! If anyone has symbols we can put them together to figure out the code and open the door!” It was a start at least and depending on how many symbols there were then it might not be too difficult to figure out the order of button presses to get the door open.

] Eternal Sailor AsmodeusHP: 100/100 Action: Asking everyone with the symbols to gather 'round! Chang'e's words attracted Asmodeus's attention, and she moved to look at the pad, squinting briefly and then nodding.
"He's right," she said, and she realized she didn't notice the snakey Senshi's name, but...well, hopefully he'd appreciate her anyway.
"Anyone who's found a symbol, take a picture and come gather at the door. We should just need to put them in order and the door will open."
She paused, briefly.
"And watch your step. Sounds like this place might be rigged. I don't want to find out what it's rigged to do."Quote: call this a mini-update 8D

Reims, Knight of GanymedeHP:100/100 Action: Interaction Roll: Damage/Healing/Buff Done: N/A Reims scoffed at the idea of taking photos and crossed his arms defiantly over his chest as he looked over to where Asmodeus was standing.
“Yeah, not everyone gets magical phones with camera settings. Sorry,” he shrugged, but took a step to the side to let whoever wanted to take a picture.
“Stay here,” he requested of Dering, about to make sure the two Moon Knights didn’t gather with the others as well. “I’ve played enough video games where it doesn’t end well when everyone gathers in one place while the whole room is booby trapped.”
Maybe he was paranoid, but he’d rather be paranoid and alive than regret not listening to his gut. It kept him alive so far.

Super Sailor Solaris ★
HP: 75
Action: Photos + careful door approach
Interaction Roll: N/A
Damage Done: N/A
Enemy HP: N/A
Hearing Asmodeus call out, Solaris paused a beat before summoning out her phone, snapping a photo of the symbol she'd at least seen thus far. When one of the Knights (Reims) spoke up about not having a phone for that, she bit back a laugh and just quietly made her way over towards him. "Here, I'll just snap a shot of that," she offered softly, lifting her phone to do just that, before tossing him a smile. "Give me a shout if you see some trap about to fall on me or something, would ya?" Was a slight joke... but also, the look she cast around the place was with a very, very healthy dose of uneasy and keenly aware of the potential dangers she could get herself into.
As she began to head over to the Eternal, she made distinctly sure she did not walk on the trap Lucien was guarding, keeping her steps slow and careful in an attempt to not trigger anything else around there... but at least once there, she could offer folks the photos of both hers, and the Knight's symbols.

Character Name and journal link Procyon Super of LiminalityHP: 75/75 Action: Photo and careful approach Interaction Roll: N/A Perking up as Asomodeus mentioned going to put the symbols in order, he looked back at the two knights and offered a little wave before carefully following the other senshi's steps to avoid the trap. Holding his phone up to show Asmodeus as well as the snake-like senshi by the door, he was glad to be helping at least a bit even if he couldn't quite figure out what the symbols meant. "I hope this helps, I'm not exactly sure but I tried to get a clear picture." Just in case he hoped the added brightness might make it clearer for both of them to see. Character Name and journal link Chang'E Dss of ElationHP: 50/50 Action: Looking at the symbols Interaction Roll: N/A Damage/Healing/Buff Done: N/A Getting to see all the symbols, he couldn't tell still what the top symbols meant, but the little ones beneath... Those reminded him of how Aruna had drawn stars with her finger in the sand when they'd first met. It took him a bit to look between the various phones and the keypad as he tried to match up the symbols to the scratches, something that he felt was more difficult considering how different the language he was used to was written. "Perhaps this order? It won't set off the trap if I do it wrong, right?" Just in case, he held a hand up to try and keep Brioche protected in case something burst forth from the room ahead or something else happened after he tapped in the order he thought worked out.

It was perhaps a bit anticlimactic, when it happened. Chang'e pressed the correct sequence of buttons, and there was a steamy hiss as the lock seemed to disengage. Asmodeus grabbed Chang'e's arm and tugged him away, just in time to avoid the locking mechanism fallong off the door and clanking tot he ground with a solid-sounding thud.And, with a hiss of steam and a grinding of gears, the doors opened. Beyond them was a room. And in the back of it, an open furnace grate with a soft glow inside. "Watch your step," Asmodeus called, "but I think we've made it."Quote: Congratulations! The door has been opened!
