Plunged into complete darkness, the group freezes. Then a glow came from somewhere and with no other choice, they followed the glow, which seemed to have a life of its own. It seemed to bounce and dance.

They stayed huddled together and there were occasional voices of protest, as someone got touched. Maybe it was accidental, maybe it wasn't, but for the most part all hands were kept to themselves.

Then the light stopped. They looked and saw they were at a blank wall. There was a sign on the wall and as Endermon got close enough to read it, the light got closer too. The sign said there were two buttons that needed to be pushed to continue.

So they split up. In no world would Shiloh be apart from Endermon so Rutus and Dresden were forced to pair up. In order to decide which path to take, they did a coin toss. Winner got to pick and the other got whichever didn't get picked. Shiloh flipped it and Dresden called it. He won and picked the path on the right.

Then the light split and there were two. One zipped off to catch up with Dresden and Rutus, the other floated near Shiloh and Endermon's heads. It was enough that they could see a few feet in front of them.

They went through several twists and turns until they made it to a large wooden door. They waited there for Rutus and Dresden. A bit later, they showed up disheveled and it looked like there were tears in their clothing. Shiloh said they sure took their time and raised her eyebrow suggestive.

Rutus scowled at Dresden, and said they'd have been there quicker, had he not tried to race or lose the light and trip some traps. Shiloh said that they just walked and let the light lead them.

With that aside, they looked at the door which had a handle but when pulled or pushed, did nothing. The light started bouncing around near the left of the door. They looked at it and saw a square with four holes drilled in it.

They stared at it wondering what could go in there and the light bounced around the four of them as if trying to get their attention. The light bounced off of one of their pendants, and Endermon pulled hers out.

She tried to guess which hole it fit in, but was having no luck. Seeing what she was up to, the others got theirs out too. Dresden put his in the bottom right, and there was a click. With his success, Rutus went and put hers in the bottom left.

Shiloh went next and put hers in the top right, and Endermon finished it off with the top left. With each pendant was another click until the door swung inward. They stepped into a room with torches along the walls and a firepit off to one side.

As soon as they grabbed the one torch that wasn't lit and used the firepit to light it, things went haywire. It was like every trap in the place was sprung and one wrong move could lead to grievous bodily injury. The first obstacle they had to get around was literally getting out of the cage that had lowered when the torch was lit.

The bars were too close together to get out of, so that was out. Well too close for a human to get out of. They all turned to Dresden who was trying to pull the bars apart. He looked at them and asked what they wanted.

Endermon asked if he could turn into something that could fit through the bars. He started listing things off, and the others were getting irritated. He finally settled on a chimpanzee. He shifted and easily fit through the bars. He then asked what he was supposed to do.

Endermon said to look for a key to open the cage. Everyone looked around and finally Shiloh pointed to so.ething shiny hanging from the rafters. Dresden took off and in no time monkeyed up to the key and wasback on the floor. He opened the cage and they all got out.

Then some targets fell from the ceiling and there were shapes next to them. They started arguing about who could or should try to hit the targets.

While Shiloh and Dresden were arguing, Rutus had melted down some of the bars and had formed them into a dagger, an axe, and a spear. No one except Endermon noticed this. Not to mention Endermon found Dresden's pendant in her pocket. Nope, not even going to try to figure out that one.
