    Angular features, pointed ears. His jet-black hair bursts into bright red flowers and fine dark leaves about his ears forming a wreath of firey foliage that trailed just below his shoulders. Thin woody vines broached and twined across his milky-white skin, with leaves and budding flowers breaking into bloom at his cuffs.

    Emily watched as Clara tries fitting the head on the shoulders, then is impressed as Wolfgang nimbly fits the bits together. "Say, you're a dab hand at that stuff..."

    As the whole statue of Zeus comes together, Emily stay out the way, sidling off to recover Clara's discarded whip for the spear. As Wolfgang fits the last pasts together, Winter watching and Mabel and Clara handing over their finds, Emily cracks the whip, grinning maniacally. "I'm starting to see the appeal old Indy had of this..."
    "Why? Why? Why? WHY?"
    "Four excellent questions!"

    One...Two...Five pieces came together, resting on the display base in the center of the room. As the last piece was put in place the small statue rotated in place to stare directly at the back wall.

    Click.

    A crack in the center of the painting spread from the ceiling all the way to the floor as the wall shifted and swung open like a hidden door. Looking through the opening the group could see a new larger pillar, high above their head and far too tall to climb. At the top stood a new statue of Zeus, and in his grasp was a crystal-like staff with a lightning shaped ornament at the top. The Staff of Zeus.

    The room appeared exactly as one would imagine a treasure vault to appear. Around the pillar were pots, far more beautiful and golden than the ones in the last room. Golden coins, artifacts, and jewels adorned the floor, covering it completely in some places. To the left of the door they entered from was a series of steps leading up to what would be the second floor of the room, with a small landing at the top.

    On the center pillar itself, at eye level, hung six keys with symbols of Zeus on them: a Lightning Bolt, a Scepter, an Eagle, a Bull, a Shield, and an Oak Tree. Above the keys sat three keyholes.

    Too close for comfort. Too many layers for satisfaction. The group helped put the old man back together and Clara made a side glance towards the wizened Wolfgang's animated sounds. "Relax," she'd give him a light bump with her hip just as he finished. "Somehow you're making a group of strangers solving a puzzle sound dirty."

    The next area opened up and Clara was running to the new room before the doors had fully opened. She paused at Blue, took off the leather hat she had been wearing, and slapped it on the other girl's head. Clara's red fez still sat nestled between her now not-quite bird's nest of a hairdo. "They belong together," she explained before sprinting into the treasure room.

    This next room felt like the anticipation of a reward. Sure not nearly as big as she'd have liked, but this was the chance to stick it to the one person Clara had ever been jealous of. Scrooge McDuck eat your heart out.

    Mable felt like they were putting humpty-dumpty together again. When the door opened she squealed, "Yeeeeees!" She wadded into the room full of treasures. Clara looked gob-smacked at all the shiny things. So, Mable looked around and found some stairs which she hoped would get her closer to the top of the statue on the pillar. Once upstairs she saw the keys. One was an oak tree so she grabbed that one and yelled down stairs, "There are keys up here." The excitement and energy of the others were all going to Mable's head. She felt so hyper and giddy.

    Emily scrunches up her face as the hat is squashed on her head. "Uh, sure," she says. chuckling. Sooo cute, but mad as a box of frogs....

    She follows the other girls into the next room, looking around at the items of wealth. "Woah.... this is some nice props." She admires her reflection in one particularly shiny vase.

    "Keys?" Emily calls up the stairs. "You got any locks?"

    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.

    The skeptic in him wouldn't let him enjoy the victory, if his experience with the Mysteries was of any indication, this had been too easy.

    "Be careful", he soon regretted that, for he was being unnecessarily paranoid. He followed the rest of the group, careful to not miss the important details of the treasure room.

    The blur of a woman's form on her phone came into focus after some concentration. Clara took a handful of selfies lounging on the treasure when she heard overhead some commotion over keys. She then uploaded the photos to Instagram as she climbed the stairs and found the keys with several different symbols on them.

    She'd try to make sense of it and check to see if the room itself had any hints to the nature of the keys. "Anybody see anything? 'Cause I don't."

    Clara joins her up stairs. Mable whispers, "This is fun." and gives her a quick wink. "There are three key holes above the keys." Mable yells down to Emily and the rest of the group.

    Mable then helps Emily search the room. "Here, use this flashlight."

    Ugh, she was taking selfies. He had to be extra precautious, lest his image be broadcast all over the ether.


    "3 keys, six keyholes. I guess we must pick by association with the guy", he gestures toward the statue. "The Lightning Bolt is the easiest".

    "Careful?" Emily asks Winter. "Hey, we're here for fun - it's not going to be dangerous. Hell, if it is, I got your back," She gives him a broad reassuring smile, and heads towards the stairs. Hell, I'm more dangerous than anything you'll ever see.

    "Hmmm..." Emily thinks. She moves up the stairs with Mabel looking down on the room, casting an eye over Clara's lounging form and chewing her lip lightly. Very nice. Maybe I should take a shot.

    She goes up to the keys, and collects them all. "There is a lightning bolt!" the werewolf calls down, walking back to the others. "They all got symbols on." Emily holds the keys out. "Say, wasn't there a legend where Zeus turned himself into a bull? To, like, nail some chick?"
