USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 THIRD ASSIGNMENT- 'The Fortress'

Started by Fire66 pages

I'll take my Silver Katana, two Ingrams and four Glock 19s. Storm said Mirage will be taking her sais, a machine pistol and 10 clips (the same as last time for both of us).

Well then! You appear to have arrived. A large wooden double door is set into the wall at this side.

"So...who's knocking?" Ares asks.

"You would think they would have a door bell somewhere," Berserker says.

"If you would like, I will knock." Barb Offers, looking about. "Cap't?" He continues, taking a step foreward.

"Well... This King certainly has a flair for the large and impressive. I'll give him that."

"Sure, go for it!" says Dallas.

Walking the final few steps to the Door, Barb looks about. Assured that no Boiling oil would be dumped upon his head, he rears back, and "Knocks" multiple times. Splinters are dislodged from the door in the process.

"Damnit." He murmers, Looking at his massive fist and jerking out a few slivers of Wood.

Melis just watches, leaning on her staff.

No splinters, I am afraid. The door is reinforced and your hand would break before it would.

There is no answer.

"Hmm," says Dallas. He reaches forwards and tries the handle.

The door clicks loudly open without any protest.

"Well, it seems that our knocking may anger him more than simple entering like this." -Melkor shakes his head.

The doors swing open slowly, to reveal a long stone passage behind.

Which doesn't make much sense, as the passage is for longer than the wall is wide.

"Well then, Shall we?"

"I hope we shall, we've been in these mountains long enough now"

"How strange...well, here we go once again heading off somewhere without having a clue about what to expect. Well, may as well go, it's not like we'll accomplish anything standing here." San says, entering the passage.

Anything else seem out of the ordinary, beyond the fact that the passage is longer than it should be?

"Face it, you just don't want to spend more time in these mountains," Hawk says to San, entering after her.

He places his hand on the wall, wondering if it's real - well, as "real" as the rest of the Matrix.

"Definitely not denying that."

"So again- no backup, no contingencies? I think that I may be starting to enjoy it." -Melkor grins, though a bit forcibly.

Nope, nothing else weird; sorry to disappoint.

And so, you head off into the corridor, which goes on a fair way. The doors swing shut behind you.

This place is dimly lit, though navigable. The corridor is mostly of giant stone bricks, the only things that seem to be out of place are fairly wide holes along the walls, ceiling and floor at various points. Mostly to the sides on the floor, so not a trip hazard.

How big are the holes? Person size?
