Labyrinth Tunnels Code13

If you're new here, start at the first labyrinth post. All the labyrinth posts live on the Power of Claw page.

Wiseowl, Claaws, and Scarlet saved the day this time! "F-O-R-E-S-T" opened the door of the forest-looking room, and we've reached it: the thirteenth room.

Some people think the number thirteen brings bad luck, but I don't. Maybe it's because I like being contrary. I have this theory that if you believe the exact opposite of everyone around you, you might be wrong 90% of the time, but 10% of the time you'll be amazing. Anyway, I really like the numbers thirteen and four. (A lot of Sprocketvillians think four is unlucky.) 

The thirteenth room is less of a room and more of a cave. The walls are covered with all sorts of little holes. From what I know of caves, they probably go on for miles and miles. Thimble, Little Crow, and some other small creatures could explore them, but at this point in our journey, it might be best to stick together and focus on the next gate.  

That said...we're running out of food and water again. Who and Little Crow volunteered to leave the tunnels and fetch more, but I don't feel great about leaving those two alone again. I propose that some other flying creatures—maybe Wiseowl or Storm Windwhisperer?—go with them. 

Don't forget those green stones. And if anyone can find some chewy black licorice, I wouldn't complain at all.  

 



OK, I just had a minor shocked. The old badger just ran up to me, shouted "Seventeen will leave, nine left over," and enthusiastically scratched the letter "F" off the bark. 

-J-M-E-M-I-A-K-Z-G-E-F-H-P-Q-X-S-B-Y-W-R-C-T-O-N-U-V-D-L-

He seems to be talking more and more, although half the time he seems to be talking to the walls themselves. I just watched him whispering to a dripping stalactite for almost fifteen minutes. When he was done, he just turned back to the little fire he had made to warm up another cup of tea. 

I doubt he was talking to himself. The strange voices in these tunnels really have been growing louder. For the most part they seem harmless, but sometimes I'll wake up and the tone of the persistent whispering chills me. I start to sweat. It never lasts long, though. 

 

Wait a second. This one seems damaged or something. A lot of these characters aren't in my Cypher. The combination lock is straightforward enough, at least. Any ideas?

Have you tried sending your anger to Jaaws via the mental connection he made? You need to think only about the other ideas in your mind and channel the pain/anger through the place the other ideas are coming.

Maybe you could try holes? It's got an h and an o. It might be a bad idea, but I just can't think of anything else.

I swoop into the tunnels, now free from the Skeletons. Windswift went to get mechanical wings to help her fly.

I learned about Jaaws. I looked at Icy. She seems to be fighting, though she was standing still, like a soldier awaiting orders from her king. I landed on her shoulder, squeezed my talons, hopefully causing enough pain, and screeched. Icy flinched for a second, but didn't move. I looked at Eli. Oh, how terribly I disliked the fact she and Claaws were both against humans a and are working together as apprentice and mentor, I had to help. Unlike Icy, Eli seems to be completely into the possession. I looked around, found a few mealworms, raised them into Icy's mouth, dropped them in, and closed her mouth. She was now chewing it. I knew most humans don't like mealworms. If mealworms is a like, I'll try sea cucumber. Some people also like seacucumber, so I'll then try a toothache plant. It gives you a "toothache" when you eat it. (You decide which one you consider most disgusting that you wake up, Icy. It dosen't have to be fully awake, maybe just momentary)

As an owl, mealworms are rather tasty. I've never eaten sea cucumbers because they are too salty, and there is a type of fish that lives up the sea cucumber's butt. Toothache plants don't work on me because owls doesn't n't have teeth, but it does make my gizzard uncomfortable for a while.
