On a small sign in front of the lair reads 'Beware of the chaotic.' Legend has it that if you're close enough you can hear the agonizing screams of a chaotic victim. Those who go in never come out

I approach cautiously in my RVN-4Lr Raven and scan the entrance for traps with my BAP.

chaotic38 · « **Reply #2 on:** 27 January 2011, 21:23:41 »

There are several mines spread around with only enough power to knock someone out. Not to mention all the carefully hidden traps.

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #3 on:** 27 January 2011, 21:26:57 »

I shoot the mines.

chaotic38 · « **Reply #4 on:** 27 January 2011, 21:33:07 »

As you shoot the mines, smoke shoots out of the walls. The faint sound of a chaotic's laughter is heard.

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #5 on:** 27 January 2011, 21:34:37 »

I double-check my enviromental sealing status

chaotic38 · « **Reply #6 on:** 27 January 2011, 21:40:12 »

A rock flies at the mech allowing the gas to seep in.

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #7 on:** 27 January 2011, 21:41:07 »

I huff the gas deeply, hoping it'll be some kind of intoxicating happy-gas

Kotetsu · « **Reply #8 on:** 27 January 2011, 21:42:33 »

Artillery starts raining down around the poor Raven.

"Sorry, comrade. Didn't see you near the target."

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #9 on:** 27 January 2011, 21:47:59 »

*cough, choke* "Quite all right, my fault for resting my beer on the TAG button."

chaotic38 · « **Reply #10 on:** 27 January 2011, 21:52:12 »

The gas, which was knockout gas seeped in the raven.

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #11 on:** 27 January 2011, 21:58:54 »

I start cramming handfuls of Trucker-Buddy^tm brand Stimm-Pills into my mouth in a last-ditch effort to counter the gas.

chaotic38 · « **Reply #12 on:** 27 January 2011, 22:02:54 »

The gas was a very advanced one. If it couldn't find one way it would find another.

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #13 on:** 27 January 2011, 22:13:50 »

I hit cruise control on the Raven and put it in reverse

chaotic38 · « **Reply #14 on:** 27 January 2011, 22:21:36 »

The exit snapped shut. A series of rocks flew at the raven. One of them got inside it and bore the message "To escape alive accept the chaotic's challenge.

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #15 on:** 27 January 2011, 22:23:55 »

I burn a point of EDG to change my alignment to Lawful and declare over the Raven's external speakers that I will accept the challenge.

chaotic38 · « **Reply #16 on:** 27 January 2011, 22:29:43 »

The gas stops immediately and a voice calls out "If you truly accept the challenge leave your mech behind and follow the path with the arrows"

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #17 on:** 27 January 2011, 23:03:36 »

I sprint down the path

chaotic38 · « **Reply #18 on:** 28 January 2011, 00:05:12 »

The leader of the chaotic cackled "So you accept the challenge, do you? There is only one way out alive. You must pass the Maze of Doom. If you fail, you just might be good for dinner."

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #19 on:** 28 January 2011, 21:16:59 »

"Well chaotic one, I am not afraid for it just so happens that my nickname is the Doom of Mazes!"

I stride manfully into the maze

chaotic38 · « **Reply #20 on:** 28 January 2011, 23:06:14 »

"Heh, this will not be an easy challenge" the chaotic said "There are many things that can kill you easily. Also there are many puzzles to solve. We shall give you one handheld weapon of choice "

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #21 on:** 28 January 2011, 23:34:56 »

I choose a welsh hook.

chaotic38 · « **Reply #22 on:** 28 January 2011, 23:42:06 »

The weapon is handed to him. The chaotic points to a door that leads to the maze. "Once you walk through that dooryou cannot change your mind.

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #23 on:** 29 January 2011, 00:05:43 »

I cautiously walk through the door.

Wombat · « **Reply #24 on:** 29 January 2011, 01:17:36 »

[The door melts and runs away yiping like a poodle with its tail between its legs.]

chaotic38 · « **Reply #25 on:** 29 January 2011, 19:18:28 »

The door slams shut and instantly there is two paths to take.

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #26 on:** 29 January 2011, 19:37:36 »

I take the opposite route to where the door ran (I go left)

chaotic38 · « **Reply #27 on:** 29 January 2011, 21:08:37 »

You see writing on a wall: (save this next part after your next post I will delete the code)

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #28 on:** 29 January 2011, 21:12:10 »

I scratch the code into the flesh of my arm and wait for the magic to take effect

chaotic38 · « **Reply #29 on:** 29 January 2011, 21:46:47 »

Nothing happens yet but as you travel through the maze you come across a door with a golum guarding it. "Password?" it asks you

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #30 on:** 29 January 2011, 21:51:35 »

I examine the golum

chaotic38 · « **Reply #31 on:** 30 January 2011, 13:48:13 »

The golum stares at you "No password no entry, capishe"

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #32 on:** 30 January 2011, 20:00:57 »

I read the number off my arm

chaotic38 · « **Reply #33 on:** 31 January 2011, 18:30:43 »

As the golum moves aside you see there are two doors. "One leads to death, while the other leads on"

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #34 on:** 31 January 2011, 19:15:45 »

I speak to the golum: "C'mon bub, give us a clue!"

chaotic38 · « **Reply #35 on:** 31 January 2011, 19:43:24 »

"This riddle might help you... if you solve it right" the golum says:

"The path you choose
And the path you take
Are two seperate things
Let everything fall today

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #36 on:** 31 January 2011, 19:47:54 »

I take the door that doesn't lead to death

chaotic38 · « **Reply #37 on:** 31 January 2011, 21:08:39 »

"You have to figure out which is which" the golum said

Grim_Reaper · « **Reply #38 on:** 31 January 2011, 22:29:33 »

question is 'is there such a door?' ???

chaotic38 · « **Reply #39 on:** 01 February 2011, 06:08:07 »

"yes" the golum said

Wombat · « **Reply #40 on:** 01 February 2011, 12:06:11 »

[Wombat asks the waitress for a side of gollum, extra well done.]

chaotic38 · « **Reply #41 on:** 01 February 2011, 13:12:10 »

The chaotics flayed and ate the wombat alive

Wombat · « **Reply #42 on:** 01 February 2011, 18:24:24 »

[Wombat hopes being digested will be painless as he has an episode of Mighty Orbots on in his pouch.]

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #43 on:** 01 February 2011, 19:20:21 »

I take the right path!

chaotic38 · « **Reply #44 on:** 01 February 2011, 20:12:14 »

The golum looks happy but asks "Are you sure?"

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #45 on:** 01 February 2011, 20:32:27 »

"I have never been more sure of anything. Avante!"

chaotic38 · « **Reply #46 on:** 02 February 2011, 09:55:58 »

"Well, have a nice death" the golum laughs. The right door opens and you get sucked into a room of a thousand blades. The blades all fly at you and the last words you hear is a chaotic saying "Bloody human tonight!"

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #47 on:** 02 February 2011, 22:48:09 »

No, that's the wrong path. I said the right path.

chaotic38 · « **Reply #48 on:** 03 February 2011, 22:23:09 »

(You cant say that you can only choose left or right)

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #49 on:** 03 February 2011, 22:27:16 »

I respawn at the entrance, get out of my Raven, dodge the mines and traps, hold my breath against the gas, accept the chaotic's challenge, give the golem the password and take the left door.
