Event: Mousetrap

The following groups will find themselves waking up in a dorm room--but, as they'll quickly realize, not their own. There will be three (or perhaps four) others with them who aren't their usual roommates, and their trunks are either much emptier or not there at all. A note beside their beds reads "Escape. You have five days. If you do not escape, you will be killed. Good luck."

The groups will progress through five or six puzzle rooms--groups of four have five rooms, and groups of five have six rooms. They will have five days with which to do so. Groups with five are unlucky: they are expected to complete their first two puzzle rooms on the same day. After completing the task they will be presented with a rest room where they will remain until the next day when they will be sent off to complete their next puzzle room. If a group does not finish the room after one day has passed the room will slowly fill with poison gas: they will then have ten minutes to finish before they are killed (a retrieval unit will kill any remaining character who was immune to the poison gas).

OOC Rules
Each group will be provided with their own thread. The group (any member) will be expected to report completion time/puzzle solutions under the "PUZZLE ROOM REPORTS" subthread, in a reply to the puzzle room they are completing/solving. the rest can be used to coordinate and plot with the rest of the group.

While some puzzle rooms will not require and ooc problem solving, others will. In order to complete these rooms, the correct solution must be presented to the moderators under the puzzle room reports subthread. One hint may be requested OOCly; ICly the characters will receive no hints.

While ICly the characters are progressing through the puzzle rooms at a rate of one per day, OOCly you may unlock them more quickly once you decide with your group how long it will take to complete a room and solve any presented puzzles. The final room may not be unlocked until day three of the event, however.

When objects are brought into a room and deposited at the end, are they returned at any point, or are the possessions Gone Forever?

They may be selected again from the trunks when you can bring another item into the next puzzle room or they will be in the trunk after the event.

I assume items that originally appeared in but are kept outside the trunk (for instance, Enoch sleeps with his Arch propped up against his nightstand) do not appear in the trunks in the rooms?

They would appear in the trunk--anything that was originally in the trunk is acceptable.

Concerning the current puzzle and Rin: when you say "all of their powers are disabled", do you mean just his flames (and other magical-ish looking powers) or his flames, super strength, and healing factor?

Flames, super strength, and healing factor--anyone who has their abilities disabled is rendered equal to a normal human.

For the group one puzzle, can the monsters drawing the keycards be drawn away or otherwise distracted by a sufficient commotion?

Yes.

When you say, anything that was originally in the Trunk, what about a gun that has been heavily modified since then? Would the gun go back to its original appearance, remain modified, or be unavailable?

Also, do Dogs count? Since Doc's dog was, well... In the Trunk upon arrival in the tower. Not that his Dog would be useful.

Hey! Dogs boost morale!
