di Senzio's Tournement: Arena - Tribune [El Jefe judging]

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=Octavio]-=-=-= Room 3 - Round 31 =-=-=-
Octavio thinks and wonders what that can be. After his many tries, none have work, what is wrong? He thinks and what lovers have in common... he then thougth of that expression: 'Falling in love.' Octavio search around and don't see any hole to fall in, and the large stone is too heavy to be move near the door to fall on the door. Nope, it must be something like that, but it's not falling in love... so what love or lovers have that would allow him to pass the door?

[SBLOCK]Octavio spent 6 rounds to think about that[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]

[sblock=Velmont]Deos reads the plaque a few more times, but isn't quite sure what to do. He goes over the current information in his head.

OOC: I guess I'll have to take a clue. Maybe Invisible Castle won't hate me today.

[SBLOCK=Semabin]Here the layout of the room. It is not quite scaled, but it gives a good idea:

[sblock=Velmont]Semabin checks whether the '100' stone is movable in a way. If not, he picks up the crayon.[/sblock]

Deos thinks and wonders what that can be. After his many tries, none have work, what is wrong? He thinks and what lovers have in common... he then thougth of that expression: 'Falling in love.' Deos search around and don't see any hole to fall in, and the large stone is too heavy to be move near the door to fall on the door. Nope, it must be something like that, but it's not falling in love... so what love or lovers have that would allow him to pass the door?

[SBLOCK=OOC]Deos have lost 2 rounds thinking about that[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]
[SBLOCK=Semabin]-=-=-= Room 1 - Round 7 =-=-=-
Semabin inspection reveal nothing new. There seems to be no mechanism hidden behind the numbers.[/SBLOCK]

 

[IcyCool]

[sblock=Velmont]OOC: Velmont, you've been occaisionally referring to Deos as Octavio in your posts to me. Probably a copy and paste error, but just thought I'd mention it.

Deos snaps out of his reverie as soon as he thinks of a possible solution. "Obviously the answer has something to do with love or lovers. If falling isn't it, what else could it be?" He taps his foot on the floor and says, "Love is blind? Maybe that's it."

Deos stands in front of the door, closes his eyes, and tries to move through the door.

[sblock=Velmont]Quozen draws a big X on the stone and examines the rat hole, reaching in.[/sblock]

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=Deos]-=-=-= Room 4 - Round 24 =-=-=-
Deos closes his eyes and walk forward. One step, two steps, three steps. He stop and open his eyes, knowing he should have hit the wall. He looks back and see that the door was a simple illusion.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Yeah, I do many cut and paste, to make sure everyone have the same decription. So you can guess Octavio is moving at the same speed than you in RL time, but in game time, it can be vary a lot depending on the clues or the number of post per day.

Description of Room 4 later tonight...[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]
[SBLOCK=Octavio]-=-=-= Room 3 - Round 31 =-=-=-
Telling that alound seems to do nothing...[/SBLOCK]
[SBLOCK=Quozen]-=-=-= Room 2 - Round 9 =-=-=-
Quozen mark the stone with an X. The then look at the hole. His quick inspection let him guess it lead back to the first room. As he looks back at the stone, the mark he just made have dissapeared, but nothing else seems to have changed.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Heckler]

[sblock=Velmont]Octavio will take the key from the first room and try to use it in anything resembling a keyhole. He'll also tap it against the door and the gold plate.

"This is the key to my heart.
This is the key to your heart."

Does it look like the gold plate can be moved/removed?[/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Deos]-=-=-= Room 4 - Round 25 =-=-=-
Deos take a time to obeserve the new room in which he stands. The room is 10 feet by 20 feet. This time, there is two doors in the room that could allow to continue further. Both door seems to be made of a sturdy and heavy wood. Both doors have locks. Next to him, Deos is a chess game and two bags that is on a small table. In each bags there is a key. One bag is white, the other is black, and both key are similars. He also see a small inscription on the table that tells 'A good king always listen to his subjects'.
