Lina took a deep breath, waiting for the gong. And when it came, she instantly started running toward the pit, jumping and easily clearing the pit. She winced as the toys jarred inside of her, then turned the corner to find a closed door, and a rickety looking ladder next to it. She tested the handle, noting no lock, but a rune above the handle. When it proved locked, she muttered under her breath. "Of<em>course</em>it's locked...well then, up and over."<br/><br/>She quickly climbed the creaking ladder, thanking the heavens that she wasn't a heavy human, and jumped over the wall, dropping onto the ground. Ahead of her she could see another door, but to her right was a long pool of water between her and a pedestal with a large red button. There were two ropes dangling from the ceiling, so she hesitated for a moment. Then she decided that she needed to find out what the consequences were going to be, and ran for the pool, jumping to grab one of the ropes to swing over. But the moment she grabbed the second one, she felt it jerk, and the rope abruptly snapped, dropping her unceremoniously into the water. Sputtering at the drop, she swore to herself, and began to clumsily swim toward the button, muttering under her breath.
