Canon 5: The Game Master [Completed]

The room changed once more, unveiling the next puzzle. This one was more of a death trap. Very suddenly, chains, unavoidable, unblockable, too fast and powerful to defeat, wrapped around everyone from the ground. They were trapped. Buzz saws began moving towards them, first towards their right arms. There were other buzz saws, spinning, screaming, rotating, poised for the throats, foreheads, torsos, legs, and individual fingers on their left arms, but for now only the buzz saw at the right arm was moving. They had to discover the answer to the next question, which appeared in a text made of flames nearby. Blue flames were in existence above the question.

Lightning Round

When two beings have the exact same amount of power and cunning, which defining factor brings one out on top?

[Zou ۞]

OOC: I've changed up the way you can post. Now, you can post whenever you think you know the answer. You may want to consult everyone else before that however, for death awaits failure. Also, by the end of this thread, you will receive 50 TP for every puzzle/question/trap that you have solved.

Dimitri was intangled in the chains, He looked around at the people around him, Already feeling comftorable knowing that two of them already got the first two puzzles right. Dimitri gave thought to the question, Was looked over as the saw blades where coming for everyone, He knew had to think fast, There was no time to dive into thought. He sayed the phrase over and over in his head, His eyes opening wide, He was almost certain her knew the answer. "Instinct" He shouted out, He was waiting to die if he was wrong, He was prepared for the saw blades to carve him into little meat cubes, He was pretty certain he was right however.

[Zou ۞]

The blades aimed at the right arms suddenly fell into pieces, crumbling onto the floor. Next off the large blades that could saw off the legs of the victims made their movement, coming ever closer. The old question that Dimitri had correctly answered disappeared, and a new one popped out. It was still the lightning round, but worse yet, the question was now exceedingly difficult in comparison to the last one. Still, it should be a peace of cake. Hopefully, it was a peace of cake. If it wasn't, things would be sufficiently bad. Everyone's legs would be sawn off if the question could not be answered correctly.

PB IDLU KRUVH

The key is Forward Three. Decode this. [/color][/i]

[Kashmir De-Mona]

Adalo knew what this was. It was a cipher. He was bad with ciphers. But, he did know something about this one. He'd had it used on him at some point that had costed him something very dear. Adalo knew what the cipher was called, he just didn't know exactly what the key meant. He was willing to guess though. "I think that this might be Caeser's Cipher." he said out loud for everyone to hear. "As for the key, I'm not quite sure if I have gotten it correctly. If I can have a few moments, I will have it." Adalo puzzled it. Forward Three...? What moved forward? The letters? Adalo puzzled that in his mind. Advance each letters three places further? In that case though, P was S and B was E. That was a word. Be. So then the second word. I became L, and D became G. No, that didn't make any sense. Consonants weren't supposed to be next to each other in a word. Adalo couldn't figure it out. Maybe the key applied to something that had happened to the original. Perhaps it meant that to revert, they had to do the opposite. In that case, P became M, and B became Y. I became F, and D became A. L became I, and U became R. My Fair. That was the first two words. That made sense. In that case, K became H, and R became O. U became R and V became S. H became E. That was it. The answer. My Fair Horse. Adalo was pleased with himself for solving it. "My Fair Horse." he said.

The room shifted again. The end of the lightning round was coming. This time, it was very difficult. The buzz saws were coming towards their heads now. If this question wasn't properly answered, everyone would be decapitated. It was far more difficult from the looks. The key was below the question, and the question was below the lightning round title.

The Darkness Always Wins

[Zieg Revolver]

Zieg stared at the words and lines of letters and numbers as they appeared infront of them. he suddenly saw something that caught his eye. F and B constantly appeared in the lines. "Could they have a meaning?" Zieg thought inside his head as he also then remembered the last puzzle. Adalo had announced it was a cipher so Zieg naturally thought this too must be a cipher since it was similar to the last one. When Adalo spoke his answer, Zieg wondered how he got it at first but shortly saw that Adalo had simply counted back 3 with each letter. "Wait..back." Zieg suddenly said, "B and F must be Back and Forward!" Zieg exclaimed out-loud, quickly looking over the code. Also, the number 26. There were 26 letters in the alphabet. 26 was also i multiple of 52 and 78 and saw that only one of the lines had these numbers, which was the third. He quickly began counting forward and backwards of the letters of the sentence "The Darkness Always Wins". Zieg realized that the code was simple, the answer was already there. The cipher simply spelt out the sentence again and the key to it was made to give it a false sense of difficultly. "The Darkness Always Wins." Zieg said out loud as his answer to the question.

The room shifted again as all the blades disappeared. The lightning round was over. The synthetic voice spoke. "Let round 2 begin..." Obviously, Round 2 was going to be a lot more difficult than Round 1. And this undeniable truth, was revealed with the newest puzzle. Suddenly, enormous cage like "reverse bear traps" appeared on everyone's head. "You have one minute." the synthetic voice said. "There is one key, it unlocks all the traps. It is in the right eye of the weakest person in this room, and a duplicate is in the left eye of the second weakest person in this room. Gouge out the eyes to get the keys. Unlock these contraptions, or they will slam and shatter your skull."

[Hara Lucious]

Dimitri knew what this ment for him, It was beetween him and Zeig for the weakest person in the room. Dimitri felt he was stronger then zeig, But he did not know for sure, For they had never had a fight against each other. Dimitri looked at his hand, Wondering what the hell was up with this crazy game. Why was here here? What was the purpouse? Why are the people that are here, Here? All these Questions raced through his thoughts, His hand suddenly plunging to the socket of his left eye, He gradually seemed to pluck it out as he screamed in pain. He dropped the bloody eye to the ground, The stem of it rolling along with the eye overe towards Zeig. Dimitri reached in the eye socketing searching around for the key.

[Zou ۞]

OOC: Skipping my post. Keep going. Unlock your trap, and other people's traps. 48 seconds remaining.

[Kashmir De-Mona]

Adalo moved on instint, without thinking. He was fast, faster than the Shinigami that he was reaching towards for survival. He grabbed at the Shinigami's left socket, Zieg his name was, wrapping his thumb and index over and under the eyeball. He ripped it out without a sweat, and pulled the key out. He dropped the eyeball, and quickly went to work unlocking his trap. Then, he started unlocking Zieg's. After that, he went to unlock Hiro's. Adalo wasn't the fastest person, but he was good enough to at least unlock these things and have about two seconds left standing.

[Zou ۞]

To Adalo: That'll be 50 TP each person you unlocked.

To Dimitri: That'll be 100 TP since you unlocked yourself and gouged your own eye out.

[Kashmir De-Mona]

Yeah all that 250 TP I earned in this canon is 125 SP now. Combined with the already 175 I had, making 300.

[Zou ۞]

Suddenly, the puzzle changed once again. The room shifted, and now a new puzzle was laid before everyone. "Find the highest number..." it read. But there as a word in front of them. It was written on a stone wall in blood. There were keys all around a keyboard under it. Typing in the answer was required.


Bllood

[Kashmir De-Mona]

OOC: Awesome. I like this puzzle.

IC:

Adalo instantly saw what was wrong. Blood drew him, and so he knew the spelling of the word well. It was mispelled. It had two L's and two O's. It was only supposed to have one L. But, they were lower case L's. So, they fit into the pattern. Adalo could in fact, see the number in it. This intentional mispelling was actually rather easy. He walked over to the keyboard, and typed in "1100."
