[SBLOCK=Semabin]-=-=-= Room 5 - Round 36 =-=-=-
Semabin walks foward and opens the door in front of him. He sees another room with five doors. Above the three centermost doors is a gargoyle's head. Except for these decorations, the room is empty. As Semabin makes a step in the room, the center head starts to speak.

"One maze, one exit.
Five doors, two guardians.
One lie, one speak truth.
Only one question, only one answer."

As it finish to speak, it dissapears into the wall leaving only two gargoyles head and five door to choose. Each door have for only disctinction, a small gem in the center: A ruby, a topaz, an emerald, a diamond and a saphire. [/SBLOCK]
[sblock=Velmont]Oh dear... Semabin thinks as he hears the words. Okay, let's take this slowly...
If I asked... no, then I have no idea who's the liar...
Maybe if... no, I've just one question.
What about... no, then I'll still be stuck with four doors.
Or possibly... hey, that one might work! Oops, no.
Or does it? ... No, still not.
That one...? Actually, that may be it.

After a few seconds of thinking, he sighs warily and steps in front of one of the gargoyles. He hesitates a bit, then asks "If I would ask your partner to 'identify by its gem a single door that does not lead out of the maze,' what would he answer?"[/sblock]

"Topaz" answers the head before it dissapear into the wall, like his companion. Semabin is now standing in front of the five doors and no more head is there to answers his questions. [/SBLOCK]

[sblock=Velmont]"Well, if I did it correctly, that should mean that Topaz is leading out of the maze, Semabin says and takes the Topaz door.[/sblock]
 

[SBLOCK=Quozen]-=-=-= Room 3 - Round 34 =-=-=-
Quozen attack doesn't seems to have any effects to the door. Even more disturbing to him, it doesn't even seems to have a scratch on it. It seems any physical action he has made to move the door haven't even move the door by an hair.[/SBLOCK]
[SBLOCK=Semabin]-=-=-= Room 5 - Round 38 =-=-=-
Semabin opens the topaz door. He sees in front of him, at 10 feet, a wooden door with an handle but no lock. [/SBLOCK]
 


[SBLOCK=Deos, Octavio & Semabin]As Deos and Octavio are speking of what they have cross, they havn't kept track of Semabin advance through the maze. Octavio and deos have been taken from there first place by a small hafling who finished in four minutes. It left Octavio at third position and deos at second, but both are taken out of there discussion as the hear reynold telling "I think we will have a new leader. That sairudani haven't wasted much times."

Semabin opens the door. The door behind him doesn't seems to close suddenly like another one has already done ealier. Semabin sees in front of him Warren smiling at him.

"Not quite four minutes. Congratulation, you've cross the maze, and you took the lead." tells Warren. "Please, follow me." Warren lead you to some stairs and you climb up to the tribune, where some seats are empty. The previous contestant are talking, and among them, Octavio, who had been called just before Deos. Reynold is sitting there, looking at you with a smile. "You can wait here and look at the others contestants." tells Warren who climb down and go back to the backstage to go fetch the next contestant.

As the other contestant pass, Semabin sees that none is able to beat his time, or even Deos one who is still in third. Octavio have moved to 6th place. For Semabin and Deos, it seems they are on the edge of keeping there rank, as only one last contestant is left, and it is Quozen, and after teh first room, which he done it quickly and with style, he seems to waste time in the second and third room... except he got it quickly, he won't qualify, but there is still hope for him.

[SBLOCK=OOC]By the way, you can look at Quozen SBLOCK, as you can see him running throught the maze. you acn look at teh other SBLOCk too if you want, there is no point to hide them now you've finish.[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Deos, Octavio & Velmont]"Whu what?" Semabin, who had mentally assigned himself the last place already is taken rather by surprise at supposedly being the fasted through the maze for now. He thought he had wasted a lot of time at a few points, and takes a bit to understand.

(That was pretty much my own reaction at reading this sblock, by the way. :eek: )[/sblock]

OOC: I had to set some mark point, the fastest possible cross of the maze can be made in 14 rounds. (Room 1: 4 rounds. Room 2: 2 rounds. Room 3: 2 rounds. Room 4: 3 rounds. Room 5: 3 rounds.) That is a perfect crossing, and that means being able to guess the number on the first attempt in room 2. A more reasonable great performance would have been (Room 1: 4 rounds. Room 2: 8 rounds. Room 3: 3 rounds. Room 4: 3 rounds. Room 5: 3 rounds.), so that means 21 rounds.

I made 12 opponents for you four, and everyone would have to roll 21+5d4+1d20 to see the performance of each contestant. 21 being a minimum mark, 5d4 for the normal waste time on each room, and 1d20 round waste for slow thinker, wrong lead, ect... So I thought I doubt to see someoen in the 20 rounds, most likely having the first NPC in the 30s... but IC poorly rolled, everyone finishing between 42 and 50, except one at 40 and two over 50.

I told myself, it wouldn't do some harm to see a PC finishing first... he, you rais ein level and recieve almost nothing in gold, but you almost not got it anyway. I put Octavio 6th just like that, he shoudl have finish under 10th, but I thought it would be more realist to see a few contestant finishing over 6 minutes because they have been just too dumb to solve the lover riddle or who have blindly tried each door in teh last room. Anyway, at that point, he doesn't finish in the prize.[/SBLOCK]
