The Heart of Darkness... [Main Game Thread]

[counterkid]

Zafron will go through with rope tided up around his waist.

[Nocturno]

How long has it been since Galan went through?
===========================================

"Let us give them a few breaths of time. Our brother is a smart one."

[TristenC]

[ it has been about 5 minutes since Galan went through if we consider the discussion and anchoring of the Rope]

[counterkid]

"Brother I'm ready to go through. I might be going to my doom. Should I move forward? I will try to tug on the rope to let you know if I'm ok. If you don't see me tug on the rope you know something is not quite right. "

"Just give me the ok and I will move forward."

Tabbi pips up and says. "I don't have a good feeling about this but I'm not sure we have any other choice. We still haven't found a way out of this labyrinth."

[Nocturno]

"I don't like it. Before you step through, see if you can speak to them, or hear anything."

[TristenC]

Anyone listening carefully hears nothing from beyond the illusion..

[Time is 8:06 pm, day 1]

[counterkid]

"Do I move forward brother?"

[Nocturno]

"Be ready, I fear the worst, since Bryce has not reported back by any means. Maybe try prodding it with a weapon first?"

[counterkid]

Zafron will pull out an arrow and poke the tip of it through the barrier or space in front.

"Let's see what happens."

[TristenC]

The tip of the arrow (about an inch or so) passes effortlessly into the illusion...

[counterkid]

Zafron tries to pull it back out.

[TristenC]

It comes out easily

[Nocturno]

"Brother. See if you can get a reaction from the other side. Move the arrow further in and move it around a bit."

[counterkid]

"Sounds like a great plan." Zafron will move the arrow around a few minutes to see if someone one the other side might pull on it or tap it to indicate they are on the other side.

[TristenC]

Zafron pushes the arrow farther in. Something begins drawing it inside with a steady, inexorable force that seems impossible to overcome. Zafrons hand draws closer to the illusion as the arrow begins dragging him forward...
