Make a torch or two out of the surrounding plants, and cut off a long straightish branch and then head inside the pyramid cautiously, looking around for pressure pads, tripwires or holes in the walls, floor or ceiling.
You're about to make a torch when you realize the inside of the pyramid is already lit. You can't identify the light source....it's like light is coming out of the air. You shrug and walk inside, with Ferren in tow.
The pyramid has no traps, as far as you can tell. You walk down a straight, stone path, and reach a wall. There's something inscribed in it. You step forward to get a better look and hit a pressure plate. The floor behind you rises, cutting you off from Ferren and any escape route. The inscription reads:
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?There's two buttons within reach, one with a picture of a chicken above it, another with a picture of an egg above it.
Pauly, despite not being left-handed, runs as fast as he can away, doing his best to suppress the pain and bleeding.
[1
-1] You start running away. Catering to your stump, you fail to see a log and trip over it, hitting your head on a rock. You go unconscious and never wake up.
Search for any long sticks to use for poking around and begin following Axel.
[5] You find a very thin stick near the pyramid, perfect for trap setting, but otherwise worthless in combat.
(+1 Trap Stick)
You follow Axel into the pyramid. It appears to be lit by some unknown source, as if the light were coming out of the air itself. You together walk down a stone path, and reach a dead end. Axel takes a step closer and all of a sudden the floor between you rises, cutting you off from Axel. You stand there, dumbfounded.
Everyone. Competitor 2 has been eliminated. Your chances of survival have just gone up a little more than 21%! Congratulations.
