h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Maybe we have to try it together... You ready?
*waits for approval*
three-two-one...
SIMSALABIM! *in stereo...*

We might just as well abandon this plan and try to find another way out of here, propably it was kind of a trick again...what would you prefer the tentacle way or the screeming voice direction over there?

sorry, out for lunch

[Yellow Triangle]:

*swings open, revealing entrance to.... complete darkness*

ähem...you first!
Does that lamp work properly again?

*last remains of light fade out of the Snakelamp*
Nope, but this one does!
*opens bag, takes out a Maglite XL, the kind the police uses*
*walks over to the opening, stands at a probably safe distance, turns on the flashlight, tries to make out what's in the next room*

[Next Room];

*the Maglite reveals a Colossal Cave, so big that the other end is still covered in darkness*

*stalagmites and stalagtites glistening in the lamp light*

*complete silence, no one in sight*

* conjures Maglite XL into truncheon, police equipment anyway...*

* conjures Maglite XL into truncheon, police equipment anyway...*

*really wonders what else ther might be in the knights bag*

*before the light fainted again, she had seen that they were in a beautiful room that looked like a King's suite, just that it was in an odd place*

What do you think about that?

*growl*
hrumf....

That was a really lousy trick, you hear! You yella coward! Come out and fight like man!

Dunno, but it certainly is strange to have a room like this next to a room like that!*points to the cave*
Oh well, maybe I'll try something else then..
*opens bag again, pulls out torch, lights it with the Zippo he also found in the bag, which is, btw, a magic one. For those of you who know AD&D it's comparable to the "Bag of Holding", only that this one is also magicresistant. So there!*
*a dim light spreads throughout the room and also illuminates the first 3 or 4 meters into the cave*

Look there is a mirror on the wall. Maybe we should have a look at that?

*walks over to the mirror*

[Mirror]:

*shows a reflection of the Fair Maiden*

*but slowly the reflection starts to change, deep wrinkles, hollow eyes, gaps in teeth, hair thinnening and growing grey*

*looks in mirror*
*looks at maiden*
Phew! You're still as fair as you used too be!

and ooh


So but is this supposed to tell us? I hope we won't have to stay here until I am that old!!!

[Mirror]:

*showing a reflection of a wrinkled old knight kissing a wrinkled old maiden*

*giggle*

Oh...
So now what?

I think it's a mirror for detecting immortals - it shows the person standing in front of it 50 years from now - an immortal will look the same...

I wonder if that witch is following you?
