"Do you really plan to stay here for the rest of your life?"
"No, I can leave by myself."
"Oh."
"But, of course, I would prefer it if you came with me."
"Err..."

"I, Risp, claim the page!"

tell her you'll go with her if you get to choose the way.

and you never answered my "end of Araches" thing.

wonder why Araches isn't being more forceful

EDIT: it's been a DAY! aaaggghhh...boo

Sorry, internet's been out. Stupid internet.

@MSB- Look, Radium himself told me I can't answer any plot-related questions.

"I'll go with you."
Araches brightened up.
"If I get to choose the way."
She brightened back down. "Look, hon, I'm not stupid. I know I would end up with Uberbob then."

Offer a contract to give Uberbob a good kick in the family jewels any time he tries to get into Araches' pants... loincloth.. or does anything else to her she disapproves of ( annoyances like walking around examining and picking up stuff don't count ).

I decided to take another approach. "How about this. You come with me, and I promise to forcibly stop Uberbob from making passes at you... with a kick to the family jewels."
Araches considered it for a moment. "Much more promising a deal... and I think that's all I am really going to get from you... Okay, I agree. If you break your promise, though..."

"It's not going to happen. I'm a ninja after all. Code of honor and everything, you know."

I was NOT a ninja. Despite all evidence to the contrary.

is Uberbob going to let her do that?

look for unobvious exits. ask Araches to buy more food for the trip back and later. think loudly in your mind "all your base are belong to us."

"We could use some food for the trip back. Could I have some of your money to buy some food?"
"It won't last. It's a well known fact all food spoils in a matter of seconds when not on the shelves in a shop, and Chic-Fil-As don't sell any canned food."

buy food then EAT IT.

Araches is full, and Shuriken is still nauseous.

FINE. let's leave through the.. hole...door...thing that we came through before.

Directions, plz.

S, into the vent. make sure you're behing Araches S, W, N, N, W, N.

Invalid directions. Moving the S.

I went south twice, skirted the hole, and Araches fell in. I caught her, but she was heavier then me and I began to slip... I really should have warned her about that.

Inventory?

We dropped it all in front of the air vent, remember?

Get Araches to a ledge so she can hold onto it.

I slowly dragged Araches backwards till she grabbed a ledge. With that extra help I pulled her up.
Shaken, she said, "You really should have told me about that... stupid bottomless pits, able to be installed without any noise..."

What you mean is
Inventory

I was too lazy D=

"Sorry about that, I guess I didn't see it in the DARKNESS." Get equipment. Exit out air vent.

I took my equipment. A little of it seemed to be missing. Ah well.
"Araches, there is an air vent up there. It's the only way out. So, we need to get up there."
"How am I suppost to carry my hat, huh?"
"Err... don't ask questions like that and it won't be a problem."
I climbed up and helped Araches find the vent by way of poking and humming showtunes. That seemed to disquiet her a little, but she soon got over it.
We went down the airvent, and Araches did somehow manage to keep her hat in one peice.

Inventory

Okay, lead Araches N, N, W, N.

I lead Araches through the halls, as she complained randomly about minor things.
We reached the enterance chamber.

look up. then do what we did earlier and try to build a stair case thing out of rocks. or try to get to the rope. or both.

add a rock to inventory.

Say that you forgot something and take Araches S, E, S. Hint at the possibility that there's something behind the west wall there.

CONFLICT!!!(sp?)

boo

I'm going with Lem first because I'm the temp DM and I can.

"Oh, Araches. I forgot about something. Follow me for a bit more..."
"Err... well, make it quick."
I lead Araches back to the room with the false wall. I pointed it out. "This wall was added after the original maze was made."
"Oh, the wall to the wierding room? What, do you want me to open it?"
"Yeah. Could you?"
"A fireball would do the trick, easy. But do you think that's the smartest use of energy in this situation?"
I spent a moment considering...

"Yes, there isn't anything else to burninate."

yes. do it please. but stand a ways back before doing so.

"Yes, but is there anything else we have to fight?"
"Knowing our luck, there will be soon."
"Still, whatever's in that room might come in handy."
"But..." Araches paused and sighed. "Whatever."
There was a sudden rush of light as Araches quietly mouthed a few magic words. She, without turning from me, pointed to the door and snapped her fingers. A huge ball of flame shot out of the air in front of her hand and vaporized the door.
I peeked in. This room had a rather plush carpet, cheap wallpaper, and an overstuffed chair in a corner. The wooden table had a tea set on it, and the umbrella stand in another corner appeared to have a pogostick in it, all alone. There was a lamp in what used to be a corner before the wall was destroyed, and a suspicious lack of disintigrated things. It appeared this room was warded against magic.

plush*

Sit in chair and comment on comfort.
Examine tea set, umbrella, and pogo stick.

There is no umbrella.

I sat down in the chair. I sat up again. It felt to be full of needles. "Err, this is a great lack of the comfort you come expect of a chair."
"Oh?" Araches asked sarcastically.
"Yeah. This chair is full of needles."
"Well, now I know not to ask you to let me sit on it."

The tea set was made of polished bone. It was glued to the wooden table, and was full of some strong acid. It appeared to have never been used before, or perhaps just used by someone very careful with their tea sets.
The pogo stick was of the normal dimensions for pogo sticks, but had a few features most pogo sticks don't. Like a 9-digit padlock. It was very rusted, the padlock just stuck there by huge lumps of oxidized metal.

yank on the pogo stick until it breaks. blame it on Araches when it does.

Put your ear to the padlock and try to crack the code.

What, you don't know what an umbrella stand is?
