Sean immediately reached into the backpack, and began sifting through it to see what it contained. He found that his rations of tuna were no longer present: instead, they had been all replaced with tins of the finest caviar. His copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone didn't look much different at first; however, a an observant fan would have noticed that it was now a First Edition copy, which would fetch thousands of pounds at auction.

Sadly, when he took it out to read it, he was unable to spot that he was holding it upside down.

"If you say so" Albany smiled at Greg. "I'm sure he'll have fun on his own for a moment."

She walked on to find an empty, open room. There didn't seem to be anything of note there, so she started swinging Sean's fancy pickaxe at the ground, hoping to find a trapdoor.

Albany swung the pickaxe with as much force as she could - but, unfortunately, the floor of the cave stood firm. There was no evidence of a trapdoor, or any other kind of opening beneath her feet.

However, the impacts had caused the room to tremble - and, these vibrations had caused a couple of pebbles to fall away from the rock face in the distance. There was evidence of another cavern behind it - although, if Albany was going to take it down on her own, then it would clearly take a while...

"There's something hidden behind there..." Greg said pointing to the hidden cavern. "That's lame...it would take forever to get to it..."


RE: Three Keys to Freedom - Pyrite - 09-11-2019

Albany started hacking viciously at the rock face, hoping for the best.

"Must...keep...swinging..."

After all of three minutes, her arms began to tire, and she felt the all too familiar pull in her leg. The axe dropped to the floor, and she was limping again.

"Ow..."

She turned to see if any damage had been done - more in hope than expectation. Unfortunately, there was none to be seen. Expensive and flashy though the pick-axe was, it had proved totally useless.

"Huh? I didn't even make a dent?"

She limped away, a little deflated for the experience.

Suddenly, the pickaxe began to lose its shine. It seemed that Sean had spotted an ugly-looking black cylinder clipped to his belt - and, thinking it was ugly (and not knowing what it was), he had unclipped it.

This was confirmed when Sean dashed into the empty chamber - now back in his scruffy archaeological attire. With his intelligence restored to normal, he was able to investigate the walls for any possible fissures or weaknesses.

"See that rock over there?" he observed, pointing directly to his right. "It looks a bit sandier than the rest - and it's already got a crack in it. Maybe we should try digging through that?"

Greg groaned. "Ugh...your back. I liked you much better as an idiot..." he said shaking his head. "How bout you go back to that and me and Albany handle this?" he said with a smirk.

"No, I'll take helpful Sean over Sean Kardashian..." Albany mused. She moved to the rock he had gestured to and started going at it. Unfortunately, the pick-axe wasn't as splendid this time, but perhaps that would make it more useful?


RE: Three Keys to Freedom - Kyng - 10-23-2019

As Albany attacked the loose rocky surface with the pickaxe, small fragments of debris began to fly away. Unfortunately, this initial promise proved to be short-lived, as subsequent strikes produced only a small number of dust particles.

"Albany, I know you're trying your best, but I think this task requires more physical strength," Sean suggested, with a look of pity on his face. "Maybe it'd be best if you gave either myself or Greg a go?"


RE: Three Keys to Freedom - Pyrite - 10-24-2019

"Sure, whatever."

Albany muttered something about sexism to herself, then tossed the pickaxe to Greg. She hobbled over to where Sean was standing and waited to see what would happen.
