((OOC: This is basically freeform exploration of the inside of Stiltzkin's Castle.  Each group will have its own subthread to roleplay exploring the castle.  Anything significant in the way of monsters to fight, treasure to loot, or information to find will be explained by the mods if any of the groups happen to look in the right places.  As for the mechanics of the Castle, physical attack power and Job levels are reversed inside - for example, White Mages will be as physically strong as the more combat-oriented Jobs.  As far as Job levels are concerned, it's essentially 12 months minus the amount you actually have in the Job.  So anyone at an Initial level would be considered to have the Job mastered, and everything in between - if you're 3 months in, treat your character as 9 months in.  Higher level techniques will be weaker than lower leveled ones.  All of this information has been made public to the characters venturing into the Castle, so assume that everyone on the expedition knows about that.  Any questions that aren't covered here should be directed to the mods.))

Is there a tagging order or are we just going and people tag in when they want?

"Just as long as the foundation doesn't decide to cave in while we break the walls," Yuri replied. However, that person's idea wasn't so bad. They would at least find something useful then right?

"Beats me," Yuri shrugged to the other's question, "I wanted something to do and this place looks like it's worth a peek."

He's paying enough attention to the group to know who is currently leading and such. He's not really the type to take charge unless something called for it. He'd just follow them all now and keep his guard up.

"Right, there's no point in dawdling here since we've got a goal."

As the group heads down the hallway, the stone walls become more worn-down. Various doors line the halls. They're heading to the back of the castle, where most visitors weren't allowed.

As they head down the hallway, they find a short flight of steps leads to large stone double doors. There are two round slots carved into each one.

Yugi was quick to pick up on what was going on and the changes that occurred and he couldn't help but place a hand lightly onto the stone walls, feeling his way as he went.

Going down the stone steps, Yugi was wondering just what on earth they were going to come across. it was exciting, yet quite nerving at the same time. But upon reaching the door and studying it carefully he turned to face the others and within a soft smile spoke.

"By the looks of it we need two round keys of some kind, or at least I assume the slots are for that type of thing."

[dammit_flynn]

They needed keys and it was hard to see in the dark here, so he used the wall to support himself too. The question was, how were they going to find the key to be honest? It wasn't that bright and the steps were made of stone. Who knows what the key really looks like.

"Or we can break it down," Yuri suggested, "If it's light enough to be forced open."

It's a suggestion but Yuri might be a bit serious.
