The scroll crumbles to dust in your hands, replaced by an intricate golden egg. It has a clasp on the side, and hinges.

Edited by JealousOrc: 6/28/2016 12:17:25 AMI guess I was right? [spoiler]what's a clasp[/spoiler]
-
A clasp is like a little lock that can be flipped open.
-
[b]i open the egg[/b]
-
A blinding white light flashes out, and you feel a strong urge to reach inside. Before you can, a hand reaches out and snaps the egg shut. "I wouldn't do that quite yet," a voice says. There in front of you is a man in a tattered grey cloak, with two pistol holsters at his hips. "The game is a dangerous one, I would be wary, if you are to continue."
-
Nah it's all good. Wait, who are you?
-
The man, ignoring your question, glares. "How did you get a copy of the scroll?" He snarls.
-
It was floating in the sky and I hit it with a spoon and it fell down.
-
The man's eyes widen. "The last scroll..." He murmurs. Sticking out a hand, he introduces himself as Ghost. "Son," he says, "you have gotten yourself into quite the amount of trouble here. I have a feeling you'll need my help."
-
K. So, do I jump in the egg or...
-
"This is where it gets complicated. There is a corporation, a malevolent one, after the fortune at the end. They are willing to kill for it. I've been searching for that last scroll. No one they've sent into the eggs have come back. Look kid, if you're going into that egg, I'm coming with you."
-
Ok. [b]i jump in[/b]
-
Ghost diving in behind, warns, "this may get rough."
-
Wait, so what happens to the egg now?
-
There is a blinding flash, and an echoing voice booms out. "You have one guess" We are in a room with 3 objects. There is a shadow, reflected on a wall, a mirror, and a sword. Then a riddle is issued forth. “To all things and men I appertain, and yet by some am shunned and distained. Fondle me and ogle me til you’re insane, but no blow can harm me, cause me pain. Children delight in me, elders take fright. Fair maids rejoice and spin. Cry and I weep, yawn and I sleep. Smile, and I too shall grin. What am I?” The egg is gone.
-
You got any guesses? [b]i look at the other guy[/b]
-
This is a tough one, I don't know, but we can rule out the sword I guess, because not all men and things have one. That leaves the shadow, and the reflection.
-
Oh, we can only choose those 3!?
-
I assume so, that's why they are options. I believe the game will get harder.
-
Well, does the mirror mean your reflection or the actual mirror itself I wonder...
-
Good question. I believe only one thing would make sense in the riddle though.
-
Nothing would fit all the descriptions so...
-
What about the reflection? All things have one, and it grins when you do. And you can't do anything to truly harm your own reflection.
-
Why would elders fear it? And why would it sleep when you yawn?
-
Elders take fright, because they fear their own mortality, and the reflection confronts them with it. When you yawn, it follows suit, meaning you tire, and will probably sleep.
