Captain's Log 08 - A Tristise on Adventuring
Who: Jim Kirk & You
Broadcast: No
Action: In a water temple (any of them)
When: Now/Throughout the month
Since there seem to be a lot of us exploring these temples and every single one of them comes with at least some level of trap/puzzle, I thought it might be a good idea to share some of the ones I've come across. While no puzzle is exactly the same as any other puzzle in any temple I've come across, some of the basic ideas behind them are similar - which is half the battle with these things, it seems.
At any rate, I hope this proves helpful to everyone and will help keep everyone out of tight situations. If you have any questions contact me, and if you want to make additions from your own experiences and upload please do so.

[ DOWNLOAD FILE: WATER TEMPLES_TRAPS AND PUZZLES LOG V. 5.6.1 ]
[ The file itself is a rather detailed text log of every trap he can accurately remember coming across in the numerous temples he has been in. What, he's been busy, okay? It includes everything from the giant eel guarding a key he came across with Isabella, to sliding walls, sliding statues, puzzle pieces, making objects light up in certain orders. It's a hefty file, to be sure. Happy reading! ]
Action - Water Temple #394
[ Kirk has gone to explore another temple he's come across, and much to his chagrin the second puzzle has begun to stymie him. He floated in the center of the room, arms crossed as he glared at the door in front of him, which had several glowing shapes, of which only four of five were lit. He was missing something, some critical switch or piece and he just couldn't figure out where he was erring.
But he was making the critical mistake when it came to puzzles in a water temple. There was always something out to get out, in one way or another. In this case, it was a bit of the ceiling, coming loose after years of neglect. Accident, this time, rather malicious intent. But it's coming down anyways, and Kirk doesn't see it. ]
[ ooc: Feel free to rescue him, or to start in another chamber of the temple. The above was just an option for starting ]

He glanced down at the tiny figure that had pushed him out of the way of the pile of rock, water still swirling and bubbling as it all settled. ]
Thanks for the save.
no subject
Sure.
[She said in response, as she swiveled back to him.]
You are here alone?
no subject
Yeah. I meant to just poke at the first puzzle, but once I got on a roll...
[ He flashed a sheepish smile and shrugged. ]
no subject
[Laura didn't seem to care about his 'being on a roll' thing. As far as she could tell, he was just human. Humans break and die with frustrating ease.]
Are you going to keep going?
no subject
Yeah, of course I am. I still have to solve this puzzle first, but it looks to still be working even with the cave in.
Do you want to come with? I wouldn't mind the company.
no subject
[She'd rather he didn't keep going, but she wasn't going to let him get crushed on his own.]
I have not been through this one yet.
no subject
[ A lot of people wished he would not do a lot of things, but he did them anyways. He was James Tiberius Kirk, damn it. It was hardly like this was the most dangerous thing he had ever done in his life. Not by a long shot. ]
So it'll be an adventure for us both then. First things first, we have to get this door open. I'm missing one jewel, so - split up and search, I think. I might have missed it in some hidden chamber or compartment.
