BEAST (forum story) - Chapter 1

[Vortex]

Luke: Check the flask full of nails, collect it if you can.

Luke examines the jar. It's too heavy to carry, but he can take one of the nails.

[ENIHCAMBUS]

Examine the big box in front of you, try to open you both in case is heavy enough.

[Vortex]

They examine the big box in front of them. It can be opened with no trouble: it seems to be some sort of big cube-shaped trunk, with velvet-lined interior. But there is nothing inside. Why did they left this here...?

[Sublevel 114]

I was afraid there will be Scissorman jumpscare from the box
XD

try to move the box?

[Vortex]

Luke and Ian move the box to the center of the room.



Now what?

[Sublevel 114]

examine hatch?

in case if some shadow wants to make sudden attack with jumpscare, use flashlight as shield.

[Vortex]

Hatch? What hatch... Oh.



Moving the box has indeed revealed a hidden hatch! Luke missed it because it blends too well with the floor. That could be the alternate way out they have been looking for!

They examine it, ready to use the flashlight in case something suddenly jumps out of it.



Unfortunately, the hatch appears to be locked...

[Sublevel 114]

:O

*explodes*


Command: both: examine hatch more closely. Is it rectangle hole to the right from hatch's handle?

[Vortex]

Ian and Luke take a closer look at the hatch. The trunk has protected it from the dust. It looks like it was made to blend with the floor around it, as if whoever built it wanted it to be concealed from view. How strange...

The small black rectangle to the right of the handle seems to be a keyhole. Luke knows that this type of lock is impossible to lockpick, so they will need a key to open it.

[Sublevel 114]

hmm

Command: take all nails out from jar. Maybe key is at the bottom, beneath the horde of nails
:D

(also, is it for me, or I can't see some images in previous pages?)
