He grimaced at the pair as one took a swing at Olivia. The fake could get lost. "Just stay back." He stated rather simply, noting she looked far more tired than he. At which point he raised his scythe, staring at the pair dead on.
Bring it. And away he swung.
He had both to deal with, but surprisingly enough his scythe was rather good at blocking things. He manged to lift it, fending off the few strikes of the other selves before swinging rather soundly at the pair and leaving a heavy gash on each.

And then he swung once more as his other self came at him, quickly cleaving it in half as the Olivia clone seemed unsure for a moment, not exactly eager to be next.
Too bad. There wasn't another option.

He hesitated slightly at that point though, scythe raised at ready, but... that was Olivia. Even if it was an old... empty... broken version of her. He didn't exactly want to kill her.
The hesitation was enough, the other version of her hit him soundly, hich bought about the jerked reaction that ended her life. She too vanished in a misty smoke as the scythe had found it's way through her. Too bad... if she'd been normal...
And then as it faded away, he caught the key that was about to fall, letting his own scythe fade back into the lock around his neck.
He turned slightly, a sad look offered as he held it up. "Let us think... it put our old selves to rest?"

Just stay back, Olivia pursed her lips at his command. Although she appreciated the concern, she really did like going into the fray of things. But, she was still tired and not in for the fight with him about it. So, she let him push in front of her, taking the creatures down.
"Well, those ones at least." She replied thoughtfully. Because those ones were monsters out of a mirror, while their old selves had become their new selves through all the things they had gone through. There were even older selves than this, shown through their memories.
"How many more floors do you think there are?" The girl asked Molan as she neared the door to the next level up.

He really hadn't thought over if it might upset her. It was the concern over her condition that brought about the command. He didn't want her hurt worse. Besides, he was still in a rather well put together condition. Things just didn't seem very good at getting past his scythe.
He looked up as she spoke then, nodding looking back to where they had been moments before. "...right." Would they seem themselves again, then? The next question merely got a shake of his head. He hadn't the faintest. "Who knows, it was a large tower." He replied, following along toward the next level and pausing as they got there.
This... seemed problematic.

"It is," she nodded, her mood lightening again. "There seem to be many gargoyles." They had met many of their journey so far and on the stage she was able to see many more. Perhaps this was their home? A bit of a maze with keys, to keep them entertained.
Olivia walked up to the set of locks and slid two of the black ones into two of the holes. But when she looked down at the other locks... she noticed one more. Neither Molan or her owned another set of hands. The girl turned to her companion a little puzzled. "Can we not go up?"

"True, that seem the only inhabitants here aside from beasts?" He replied, still staring a bit now as they looked to the five holes. He took two keys, both black and placed them as well, turning them, but... there was another.
This wouldn't do. "Olivia... we may need to use that spell..." Because the door wasn't opening with just their four black keys obviously. He grimaced a bit, prepared to try and duck for cover, or pull Olivia away if the person started to materialize in the wrong spot. "Try it? This is your version of the world, right?" He added, looking around. Not even a gargoyle to help them.

The spell? Oh right, the spell. Olivia took a moment, trying to remember that the words were.
"Ell eff jhee?" Was that right?

Upon coming to the second set of doors he listened to the gargoyle. But, he was alone. He repeated the words “Ell Eff Jhee” and poof. Wait… were those familiar figures in front of him? What that… “Olivia?”

Nothing happened after she said the words. Molan's entrance had been almost immediate and so the small girl waited, her head turning about to see if maybe someone had appeared out of her line of sight. But no one did.
Maybe the spell didn't work after all. Then, how did Molan....
Olivia was about to make another attempt, perhaps having said the spell wrong when she heard a very familiar voice call her name from behind. The girl blinked owlishly, turned and smiled brightly. "Oh, Andrew."
She turned to Molan with the same smile. They had help now, and it was someone they both knew too (at least, she recalled they did).

She'd said it. He was watching, carefully, waiting... nope. No one. He stared silently, giving her an equally puzzled look at the lack of anyone showing up.
"I don-" And then he heard her name, but not from his mouth. He looked down at the boy, blinking a bit confused. Who was that? He didn't recall him beyond one fight..? But Olivia obviously knew him? "Hmmn?" He looked at her again, then back. Then sighed, figuring it was fine. "Well, if he's here he can help." He added, releasing one of the black keys to life up and hold out the key leftover to the fellow. "If you want to reach higher, help us open the door."
He would, right? That was why he was here. "Welcome to this tower."

She remembered him. And he remembered her. His tail glowed just a little more, never mind that his fire was low and not working quiet right. She remembered, and he had been looking for her. She was alright. Now they just needed to complete the kings tasks, right?
He looked at the fox, remembering something, a memory of burning jealousy. He was that fox! But he would… ignore it for now.
“I am here to help. How do I? Will this help?” he held out his purple key.

To reach the fifth floor, you must have the keys to open the locked door:
The Fifth Floor
A black door with the soft clinking of coins behind it.
You enter the room to find it filled with treasure. Piles of golden trinkets and jewels tower above you, glinting and sparkling in an enticing display. Beside you, someone clears their throat, and you look down to see a small, rotund gargoyle in a white shirt, tie, and glasses. In one hand it holds and abacus with a distinct air of menace.
"Leave or be useful," it greets you pleasantly. "And by useful I mean wrangle some of the coins down. Damn things get the idea to float around sometimes and collecting them back again decreases productivity by..." the beads of the abacus are snapped aggressively, "...5%. Unacceptable." It gives you a stern look and snaps the abacus again. "Don't damage anything. Except yourself. That is an acceptable loss."
Gathering the Floating Coins
Gather 10 coins!
Roll 1d8 1 - you awkwardly jump from one pile of treasure to another, collecting 1 coin 2 - you leap up to grab a coin but fail to reach it and land badly, you're crushed by falling treasure and lose one fourth of your full health 3 - you manage to do a barrel roll, collecting 2 coins 4 - you can on what appears to be a platform of ice and lose your footing, you also lose one fourth of your full health in the fall 5 - you find and eat a mushroom, it causes you to hallucinate growing into a bigger version of yourself, somehow you collect 3 coins 6 - you are swallowed by a plant, losing one fourth of your full health 7 - you find and wear a raccoon tail, it makes you feel confident in your leaping like you could fly, you manage to collect 4 coins and ignore the gargoyle's furry comments 8 - you find a small castle, but fail to find a coin or princess within it. You proceed to mope
When you successfully deliver the coins, the gargoyle tosses you a black key and waves you away without a word of thanks.
A black door that somehow seems black than all the other black doors, as black as the bleak desert nightscape that it your soul.
Writing Prompt:
The room is painted black. All the furniture is black. The window is covered in black-out curtains. Squinting you can just barely make out the figure of a gargoyle, staring off into space. It has a black scarf, glasses, and wig all artfully arranged to appear very deep and also deeply mysterious. And a little sad. Miserable even. Something about its emotional pain draws you in, sparking something within you that answers with a similar sort of misery. "Yes," it sighs as you approach, "...I suppose you would be here in this den of sorrow. Not that it matters. I'm sure you're here to use me, just like everyone else in this wretched stone wasteland." It holds up a black key delicately in its claws, "You can have it, I don't need material possessions, they just lead to suffering for worldly vice. But first I need to know you're like...a kindred spirit, you know?"
That feeling surges up within you, something both vulnerable and embarrassing. You open your mouth to ask what it means, and what spills out instead is poetry. Darkly emotional poetry that's probably not very good, full of purple prose and the adolescent angst of your previous life. When you're done, the gargoyle sighs and looks away, "Oh well...it's not like I had hope for better." It drops the key in your palm with another sigh and goes back to staring into the dark abyss of its life.
A green door that shudders and groans as something fierce screeches from within.
You're barely in the door when a talon swipes at you. Enraged the hippogryph lunges, its beak tearing into you with ruthless abandon.
You are fighting an Insanity Hippogryph! HP: 30 Auto Attack: 5 Extra: You have been poisoned! Every post you make costs an additional 1HP of damage.
Loot (1d4)
[1] [2] [3] [4]
In its death throes, the creature moves to strike at you one last time, but dissipates just before snapping its beak around you. A green drops to floor with a loud clatter.

On remembered reflex from her memories, Olivia didn't draw herself too close to Andrew even though this body was not all completely the same as the one that seemed to be there. This one was more alive even as colored similarly as he was. The flame might not have even been able to hurt her but it was what she remembered. He still earned himself a look of endearment, the same as she looked at Molan.
"The blue one actually," Olivia corrected, pointing to the lock they were trying to open. "We have it but not enough hands," she held hers up.
But with him, they were able to, stepping into a foray that was similar like the others. Black doors, one with the sound of coins and the other simply bleack and black while the other green. Olivia turned to Molan, whom she had been sharing this adventure with the longest to see what he wanted to do. Hopefully he wouldn't make her sit out again.

Molan turned the keys as they all worked together before collecting them to pocket again. It was easier to have them in one place. So with the door opened they went up, once more greeted by three doors. Two black, one green. Huh...
Well, he looked between the doors, minding to keep closer to Olivia. It seemed like that other guy was staring at them oddly. Was that why he didn't like him? His eyes narrowed a touch before he shrugged it off. Perhaps his imagination, it didn't matter. Though he did hold his hand out again, a bit protective. Just so that guy knew some things were clear. And he had no place in them.
"I think... the noisier doors have always been bad? Perhaps that one..?" He pointed to the simple black door curiously, then mused for a moment. "Do you want to see what the tower is like?" He inquired, happy to volunteer the poor fellow who'd joined them, he didn't seem at all beaten up. "Go take a look?"
How nice of him. "Olivia and I can stay here."
