((The "Malevolent Force" is actually whatever killed Blitz. I think it only attacks alone entities, kinda like bogey men.))
If the latter is true, he wouldn't have much of a choice OTHER than moving onto the next room, and the longer he spent lingering, the more likely the aberration would figure out he had unlocked this room. Propman slid down the ramp he spent so much effort setting up, and headed towards the western door. Along the way, the pirate took a handful of chess pieces; more objects to work with while in the museum, or if the hacker fellow was correct, ammunition should he encounter hostiles. He tossed a pawn into the air and attempted to aim and blast it into the distance, [10] fumbling before managing to do it on the fourth try. The piece launched into the other side of the room seemingly instantaneously, but it also shrunk so much in the process as to be invisible. He practiced some more with another two pawns, [19] this time causing them to launch on the first try.
Perhaps he got the hang of it?Nevertheless, he needed a way to access the next door, and he was hesitant to take down the ramp he had just set up. [18] A careful search yielded a painting of a
grilled cheese sandwich nonchalantly hung aside the end of the southern wall. Removing it and rotating it around a bit before attempting to enlarge it, soon the painting was multiple stories tall, more then adequate to function as a ramp. Setting it down, it fit against the floor and wall far more snugly then the earlier table, and walking up it was generally less of a chore to the adventuring wanderer.
Now at the door to the presumed museum, a good look at it revealed it to be some sort of ominous, rotating vortex held within a roughly coffin-shaped frame. Propman gulped as he marched through, remaining cautious as his eyes were overpowered by darkness.
