[Tiruin]

Tiruin watched the first piece take the blow, and the knight to move onwards. She tilted her head at Twinwolf, wondering what she was thinking (as well as the others, but Twin was the only one in vision).

It seemed time to press forth.

"The rest of you, take over. I-...my mind is tired. Carrying these figures given my strength is a bit tedious after all."

((Calling it a night here too.))

[Twinwolf]

"Sorry for not really helping. No good at checkers, you see. If I was playing we'd lose really quick."

[Tiruin]

"Their formation is broken. I'd love to call it an infantry square, but we've neither cavalry or artillery. Still has the same analogy though. Make your moves carefully, and hold the line."

Tiruin was partly speaking as if addressing the lifeless knights around her. She wondered why she had to carry them all around while the opposing force just defied gravity and moved of their own accord.

That said, smelling the fresh scent of ebony-wood up close was satisfying.

"And nah, its alright. You're helping just by being there."

I'm so glad I've got friends. Or elite acquaintances, if I'd be silly with it. Still my friends anyway.

[FallacyofUrist]

Fallacy continues watching from the doorway.

"For all the drama, it's just checkers? That's somewhat surprising."

[WillowLuman]

Back in the skeleton/ruins puzzle

"Guys, seriously, anyone got a way to help people up out of a pit? Tiruin and Twinwolf and some others are down there, possibly with murderous chess pieces."

[Tiruin]

Fallacy continues watching from the doorway.

"For all the drama, it's just checkers? That's somewhat surprising."

"I'm treating this as if its a responsibility. Now the rest of you--find out if it actually represents something in this Station. Please! ...I mean, it'd be nice to find allied knights."

[FallacyofUrist]

"Hm. Do you have anything ropelike? Something that could be tied together and used to support human weight?"

[~Neri]

"Hollowed interior. I find it a strange but intriguing game though. All pieces are forward one rank. I'll be using chess terms. Rank and file. Or row & column, respectively, if anyone else wants."

The engraved wooden walls of the hangman room seem to continue into here, though now they seem to depict battles, and figures staring at tables, rather than animals. The room's floor seems to be divided into an eight-by-eight grid of black and white square tiles with each side about 3 meters.

"Le'see here."

On some white (black on Darkling) tiles, there are wooden statues.

There are 16 statues in all.
Half of the statues (marked X) are made from ebony and depict different evil-looking things.
Here's a giant serpent, ready to strike, there's a warrior in spiked armour armed with a huge axe.

The other half (marked O) are made from balsa wood, and depict heroic-looking knights in full plate mail and with different weapons.

[tt] Many Stuff! [tt]((On that note, since I use Darkling...I'd love to imagine I'm seeing black and white differently in the station. XD))

"Yes you probably should."

"Hm. Do you have anything ropelike? Something that could be tied together and used to support human weight?"

"I have rope."

[WillowLuman]

(Presumably I fetched you to this room)
"Right, so, er, we can get people out of there now. Um. How goes the checker game? I honestly can't tell. Any sign of danger?"

[Rolepgeek]

"We've got time to spare. We don't have rooms to spare. This is one of the less dangerous ones, judging by what we've seen. I'd say move one of our forward pieces to try and get a king."

[Cheesecake]

((Gah, I lost track again :/ ))

Completely at a loss, Cheesecake looks on from the sidelines while the rest of the forumites do checkers.

[kj1225]

"I think I'm going to look for a room better suited for my average intelligence..."
Kyle says going back to the skeleton room for now.

[WillowLuman]

"Shouldn't you stick with us and take advantage of the easy XP?"

[Adragis]

Aoshi retrieves sheath of his katana and retroactively follows the cat and they person who supposedly has Arc's stuff to the doorway to chess room.

"Who is Adragis? I hear you would have something to help me sharpen my katana. Something that belongs to Arc."

"Do I?"
Adragis roots through his backpack, pulling out all Arc's things.
"...nah, I can't see anything there..."
