If you guys haven't already guessed by now... you're in the midst of a puzzle. To continue, you'll need to figure it out. Of course, I'm here to help organize and make clear clues that have already been put forth to you, so if you keep speaking in character in the In-Game thread about ideas of what your situation is and aspects of the puzzle you think you might know or you think might be a part of it, I'll post further clues and confirm correct suspicions. And as always, don't be afraid to request skill checks on specific things you have already seen or learned about, and the more successful the skill checks are, the more I'll confirm.
When you have a pretty good grasp of what needs to happen and when one or all of you decide to do something, I'll print the results per usual.
