Gasping in sudden shock, Lina's eyes went wide, and she grabbed onto the pedestal for a moment as the sensations hit her, she shuddered, then took a deep breath, and forced herself to move. Turning to the ledge, she slipped along it adroitly, and opened the next door, relieved that it wasn't locked. Behind her was another iron door, with a small window that likely would slow the slime's advance, at least. But in front of her was another puzzle, this one a series of different colored tiles, and a barred door across the way. A sign said 'Follow the correct tiles to proceed.'<br/><br/>Sighing, Lina studied the tiles, distinctly distracted by the toys, but quickly figured out a pattern that she thought was correct. Jumping from one blue tile to the next, the door unbarred and she sighed in relief as she moved onward through the course.<br/><br/>At the next section, though, she saw a pit to the left, with a ladder on her side, and a hallway of plants on the right. She judged the pit as only having even odds of clearing, and hesitated, thinking for a few moments before heading down the hallway with the plants. Of course, halfway down a dozen green tentacles lashed out, grabbing at her and halting Lina as her eyes went wide and she let out a startled yelp. But she mostly managed to get free...but not before they all but ripped her shirt to shreds. Panting, she continued onward through the next door.<br/><br/>This time she saw a room with a door across the way, and another on the side with a button surrounded by the symbols of various deities. Not knowing a thing about deities, she ran through the door, and found herself in a room full of keys, with a set of lockpicks at hand, and a locked door. She pulled out the picks and went to work.<br/><br/>Unfortunately the lock was better than she had hoped, and she was rather distracted as well. She could see the slime, faintly, when she finally got the door open. On the other side she saw another button, and swallowing her discomfort, she stepped forward and slapped the button down, wincing as the sensations grew yet again, and the door slammed down behind her.
