    The Daeva twisted and turned the combination lock in her hands; the letters one by one spelling out βροντή.

    Click

    The lock opened effortlessly. Once removed, a strange thing happened. The lever that the lock was attached to didn't go down as one would expect. It went up.

    Clunk. Click. Thud.

    A combination of loud metallic sounds followed the level being released and reverting to its unlocked state. As the metallic door swung open the fearless adventurers found before them another room.

    The room was slightly larger than the exterior, with four columns spaced evenly around the space. On each column was a torch that illuminated the area, but allowed darkness to creep into the corners. Other than the torches, the only other light came from a small opening in the front left corner of the room, above a small pile of rubble. Across from the entrance was a large painting of a Greek warrior taking a spear away from an enemy in battle. Looking around the room there was only one doorway; the entrance. The Staff of Zeus was nowhere in sight.

    Standing next to the doorway were two statutes on display platforms of Greek sentries holding long spears. In the center of the room stood an empty metal display with the engraving "Η αλήθεια μέσα" along the top. Sticking out of the front was a metal tray with some small objects on top of it.

    Emily has several tattoos:
    - a sleeve of vines and flowers starting on her right shoulder and ending at her wrist
    - a collection of stars on her left wrist, tapering up her arm
    - flowers on her right foot around her ankle
    - A crescent moon on her left shoulderblade

    Emily watches as Clara plays feistily with the whip, unable to suppress a smile. Someone is altogether too familiar with that. "Well. Looks and brains, huh? At least you knew I was on the wrong lines!" She says to Clara, and heads forward into the next room.

    Looking around, the blue-haired girl spots the writing and quickly flicks through the Dictionary. "Okay, last one I do. This one says... Truth Inside. The Truth Inside, even." She passes the dictionary to Mabel, and wanders up to look at the objects on the tray.

    Mable follows Emily into the room and takes the dictionary when it was handed to her. Mable also wanders up to the metal display. While Emily looks at the objects, Mable looks at the display and runs her hand over it looking for levers buttons or anything else that may open up.

    The rush of knowing what the answer was washed over Clara. The sweet affirmation of the click followed by entrance to the next room was her reward. Finally, Clara gushed politely at the small chirps of praise. Lucien got a tip of the Missouri Smith hat and Blue receive an energetic smile as they entered the new room. She briefly considered leaving, since the next room would be more of the same puzzle solving, but the pull to explore the new room had her take the few tentative steps into the new room.

    Clara wasn't interested in this puzzle and didn't listen much to the others. Far as she was concerned, she'd already contributed 104 %. She could indulge in the faux Greek aesthetic a bit while someone else worked out the way to the next room. Slow, purposeful steps took her around the room in a lazy circle. She was wondering how the pillars would look in a bedroom setting.

    Nimbus

    Dark shadows scatter in ordered symmetrical patterns traversed by a crackling pallid silver light that wraps Winter in a pleasantly numbing and icy coldness.
    When vulgar magic is cast, the frequency of the oscillation of the dark fluid surges until the shadows arrange themselves in a solid black halo around Winter's head, the white light darkens into a fiery black sunlight and his eyes are set ablaze with vivid incandescence.

    "Hold your horses, Lara Croft", he rolled his eyes at the girls lively antics, "don't get too cocky", he said amused.
    Having scanned the room, he decided to follow Blue Emily's lead, the tray looked suspicious after all.

    "I wonder if this is like that Indiana Jones thing, with the staff and the light?" Wolfgang asks himself aloud as he examines the spears held by the statues. He was betting that the things on the tray would slot into something on a spear, and if you shined the light coming through that convenient hole through it after putting the spear in the right place, it would point them in the right direction.

    Emily nods at Wolfgang's suggestion. "Maybe.... The Truth Inside sounds like we need to open something. I mean, could be as simple as the next door, but I wouldn't have though it was that obvious," she muses allowed.

    She picks up one of the objects on the tray and begins looking at it.

    "Oh, I remember that scene." Mable continues to feel around for something to open the base. "I agree with you folks about the things in the tray. Do you think this base opens?"

    Clara gets particularly fascinated by the statue opposite the one Wolfgang was observing. A spear to match a whip. With the thought in mind, Clara checked to inspect the spear. She gingerly felt to see if it was removable.
