By the time Okor had got to the gates of the Nebula Castle, his companions were there already. Judging by the mob of villagers that followed behind them, everyone kind of silently knew each other was the cause. They had be given an opportunity to take part of a festival, but nobody really played along. Thanks to the actions of Samus and then Okor himself, it was brute strength that won out. Neither of them wanted to actually 'play along' with whatever was going on here. They had seen enough of Nebula's work at play to trust anything they actually saw in this realm.
Samus Aran, Hiro Protagonist and Madotsuki were standing in front of the massive wooden gate, debating the best way to get through it. Just as they were coming to a conclusion, that was when Okor brought his hammer down. The gates smashed forward as if they were paper being blown about by a whirling fan. The power that he put his attack on the large doorway was probably a little more then he needed. He looked at his companions, and then back at the villagers making their way towards them. "We should go," he said simply, and led the pack inwards.
When they stepped foot inside the castle proper, they were greeted by another set of large doors, though these didn't seem to be locked. The room itself was bare. It was like the entrance hall to the castle in Camelot, except with the fancy decorations like banners or carpets. They were no knights here. Nobody greeted them.
The foursome stepped forward, into the right. It was Hiro who looked behind them and noticed it first. "They're gone," he announced. Everyone turned to confirm. The crowd of corrupted peasants that had been following down the village was gone. Like they weren't there to begin with.
It was at that moment that the middle of the floor opened up. Madotsuki was the only one who was positioned away from the random trap door. The large stone-slab that Samus, Hiro and Okor had all been standing on suddenly opened swallowed them whole.

Quote:Samus, Hiro and Okor have fallen into the Dark Castle's Labyrinth. Depending on the person, the place and illusions faced will be different. The illusions that speak to them will formally challenge them to complete this maze and then they will be allowed to re-join their companions and fight the Black Knight in fair combat. The illusions will not fight the characters directly, only taunt them. Win and he will give up the Nebula Space, lose and the group must embrace the corruption.
Okor's Labyrinth is a dark sewer system. In addition to gross swamp-thing monsters, the 'illusion' that will speak to him is the scary clown from the village. He will attempt to degrade Okor and threaten to lock him up where he belongs, in the sewers.
Samus' Labyrinth is a hedge maze, except the roof is covered just like the walls, so she can't see the sky. She is still in Predator Form. She will face zombified-versions of the villagers from earlier. The illusion that will guide her is the Watcher from the festival. He will ridicule her from putting herself in this position, by not agreeing to participate in peaceful games.
Hiro's Labyrinth is a medieval castle. He will face darkling knights. The illusion that will speak to him is that of the Black Knight himself, who is decked in heavy ebon armor. He will declare Hiro as the leader of this group and attempt to lure him to his side with a powerful darkchip.
The group has 13 Order Points left. As a reminder, this is your shared pool of SP from now until you leave Nebula Space. You have one week to write one roleplay (no word limit), but if you're all done early then I will move us forward early.
