Let's make a deal.

We've gotten green lights from Earth (1), Fire (2), and War (4); I guess we should see what Opop's push gets us.

I don�t think we can die, at least the game has to be solvable without breaking the mafia game.

I think we just have to push the right combo of glyphs. Possibly themed after �the life of a sword.�

##push water glyph

You push on the glyph, and the archstone sinks back flush to the wall. The third emerald on the door begins to glow.

My Second Re-Reg posted:

Wait, pushed on which glyph? Was yuming able to do a multi-action?

For the sake of clarity, I will confirm that yuming did not do a multi-action. This is the style of old-school IF parsers, where anything too complex just gets truncated down to the first valid input it can read, so it only accepted the first glyph.

Ah good to know! I never played these games. The earliest game I remember was some prodigy online maze and floppy discs kids games my dad got me :sparkles:

Let�s try the elements.

Water, earth and fire all lit up (I'm gonna check those posts real quick)

You push on the glyph, and the archstone sinks back flush to the wall. The third emerald on the door begins to glow. Suddenly, a bolt of magical energy shoots out from the carving, striking you in the chest. The pain is brief, but tremendous. All the archstones that were pressed reset to their original positions, and all the gems stop glowing.

[Your blood pressure just went up.]

As the door finishes opening, there's a brief burst of audio. Just a glitch, it seems. Though one of the players is dropped from voice chat, you don't think much of it.

I copped Opop as town last night

I think if there's no scum shanigans like a busdriver or godfather that leaves scum as YPM or MSRR (assuming 2 scum / 7 town?)

You are a Novice.

You currently are Annoyed.

You currently have 3 points, out of a possible 10 points.

Pedestal Room
You enter a room dominated by four waist-high pedestals, arranged in a 2x2 pattern. To the north is a featureless stone door.

(Hint: use compass directions to distinguish which pedestal you mean: NW, SW, NE, SE.) [Ed. note - come up with a readme or instruction manual for stuff like this.]
