Into the Gray

Session Summary

We enter a room and find a box with four shapes on it and a rotator for letters. There's a sequence of images and letters on the box, and five pictures of a leaf, seven pictures of a flower, six pictures of a tree, and seven pictures of a maze on its sides. I input "SCIO" and "QICK" into the box, and it opens with a key and a note inside. We find a small safe behind a loose brick, and I use the key to unlock it. As I open the door, a disco ball arrow flies into my back, but it only deals one damage. We find an old letter that says "GOTTEM" and Wash writes "Get wrecked" in celestial on a trap he reset before taking a crossbow.

Log

As we walk into the next room, we find a box in one of the drawers.  

On the box are four shapes. A circle, square, triangle, and a star. Between these is a rotator where we can put any one of the 26 letters of the alphabet. 

There is a sequence of: Z, Picture of One Tree, Three Pictures of a Maze, Triangle, Two Pictures of a Leaf, Picture of a Flower, Circle, Three Mazes, Picture of a Leaf, Star, Two Pictures of Flower, Picture of a Tree, Square

On the sides of the box: Five Pictures of a Leaf one one side, Seven Pictures of a Flower on the other side, Six pictures of a tree, Seven pictures of a maze on the last side.

On the back side of the box is the series of letters seen above.

“Everything you need to open this box is here.”

The box is made out of very solid wood.

SCIO - Wash inputs these letters. The box does not open.

QICK - Wash enters this. It opens. 

Inside is a key with another note. “Find my stash and you’ll be able to curry my favor.”

I look around the room for somewhere to put the key. 

While investigating, we can see the thing that shot us earlier. It is definitely actually unaligned as we hoped. There is a second one that is confusing in placement. 

I find a loose brick. I carefully pull it out and warn the others in case something shoots out. 

I do this and nothing happens. I peer inside. Inside, I see what looks like some kind of super small safe. 

“Guys I found a key hole!!” 

Wash slowly hands me the key. 

I slowly turn to put the key inside and turn it. It clicks open. I push the door open.

As I open the door, from behind me there is a little blip from the back to the right. A disco ball flies straight into my back. It looks like an arrow shaft with a little sparkling ball is there instead of the tip. I take 1 damage. #clues

Wash picks up the disco arrow to investigate. 

I shrug it off and keep looking. 

I find an old letter that says “GOTTEM. Show this to me later and I'll be more friendly to you.” #clues ^64081e

I say there's just an old letter that says GOTTEM and pocket it. 

I look through the desk in the room. Everything in the desk is old and faded. The papers are hard to read and seem really boring. 

Wash resets the trap and writes “Get wrecked” in celestial. He grabs one of the crossbows to take with him.
