"May I have some assistance by someone that reads Ancient Egyptian? possibly one of the gods in attendance? Perhaps I can puzzle out how to surmount this." Yuri walks up to the wall, hopefully with someone to translate for her as she works.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Horus approaches it and helps!
Roll MIND, DIFF 80 to translate the message.

[Akroma]

Hainuwele, tired of just watching TV and the Ripper all day teleports to wherever Kyle is. [Mana remaining: 130]


Whats the first thing that she sees? ((please not be a huge rolling boulder, please not be a huge rolling boulder...))

[kj1225]

<Sure am. TP to me>

(105) Kyle is translator.

Horus approaches it and helps!
Roll MIND, DIFF 80 to translate the message.

((... We have assistance from someone who's a native speaker, wouldn't that be on him or at least a lower check?))

She sees the same hieroglyphic wall Kyle sees.
Translation:
To pass me, one needs only
A kind tongue and a good word
Speak easily, and I shall open
Speak harshly and never pass

This is reprinted several times on the wall. Horus considers it deeply, as does Set.
((90 IS the lower check. Without Horus, you'd have a 130.))

[ragnarok97071]

"So... we just need to ask politely?"

((Also, shouldn't Horus be able to translate it as a free action, considering he speaks Ancient Egyptian?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Damn. Well, good on Ra for thinking about that. A typical god would be an asshole and demand or blast the wall to bits first."
Set shrugs. Horus studies the hieroglyphics.
"It seems so."

[kj1225]

"Please open for me."

[Akroma]

"Ah, some spelunking, heh? Well then, kind door, our friend is in distress, and we need to pass, so it would be very nice of you if you could let us through."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

The wall...budges slightly. And then opens JUST enough so that Kyle can see the other side.

[Akroma]

Far enough that Hainuwele could slip through?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Not just yet.

[ragnarok97071]

She examines the door, humming a little, thinking to herself... then pushes or pulls in whichever direction it opens, just to make sure.

[kj1225]

"Come on baby. Why don't you open for me and I can show you a real good time."
Kyle is flirting with the wall.
