[Jack_Bread]

You are Zesu, a treasure hunter.
You are a terrible fighter and quite unskilled, but you've had a lot of luck that got you out of numerous perilous situations.
You've had numerous traveling companions throughout your career but you had decided to work alone because you appear to absorb luck from others, indirectly causing multiple casualties.
Right now, you are exploring a ruin that was built out of a mountain. It is littered with lava-based traps.
You're here to grab a legendary artifact that was left here after the inhabitants left without warning.
It is called Frostsword the Fresh, a golden door said to be encrusted with ruby and decorated with rings of silver.

Whoops. You almost hit an trap.
Well... you're taking this artifact for your long-time lover, Molyrteseus. She's a cultist of some obscure blood god, but works as farmer. You begin daydreaming of her beauty.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You come to your senses. It appears you were walking for several minutes.
What's this?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It appears you're near your goal... what is this room?
What shall you do?

[Darvi]

You step in.
Nothing happens...

[Furtuka]

check for traps

[Weirdsound]

Check object in the middle of the room.

[Jack_Bread]

You search the room for traps and find nothing obvious. You're suspicious of these tiles, though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

...you can easily step over them, too.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You take a closer look at the object.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

An oddly shaped device with number rings on it. It looks like you line up the correct combination and some part of it opens.
An inscription on it says "Numbers on the walls. Find them for the key to the room."

[Darvi]

4123

[Jack_Bread]

You enter the code into the object.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The room starts rumbling and suddenly, the ground falls away!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You land on your ass a foot away, luckily.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's getting kinda hot. The tile ring is all that's left in the room... the only exit is the door you came in from but it's a considerable distance away.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Oh poop. Are those just bubbles in the lava?

Take off backpack and search through it.

Look around the room - is it really just lava everywhere?

Have the walls changed?

What's on the ceiling?

Is the entrance still open? How far away is it?

[Darvi]

By the way, the code was the amount of people on a wall = digit.

[Jack_Bread]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You quickly look through your backpack to see what's in there.
Some rope, grappling hook, hacky sack, your lucky rabbit's foot, a book about cults, a dagger, some food, and some money.
The walls appear unchanged.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It looks like a ceiling grate. You cannot tell it's stability from here, but it looks like it goes to the surface.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It looks like it's probably a couple of yards away. You would not be able to jump it.
Also, the tiles are the only non-lava area.

[Ricky]

okay, time to do some quick thinking! tie GRAPPLING HOOK to ROPE creating GRAPPLING ROPE. upon creating GRAPPLING ROPE grapple the cieling grate.

upon grappling ceiling grate, test strength

after testing strength, walk on every tile to see if it does anything

[Jack_Bread]

You take out your grappling hook and rope to combine them.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Once you finish, you try to get the rope on the grate.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yes! Now time to tests it's strength.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You slip and go swinging. Your grip fails just as you were swinging towards the tiles and you land on your head.
Ow.

[Strife26]

Ow. Best try again, preferably without thinking about how convection works.
