So, I guess my answer is... um, maybe?

That's what I needed to hear! ;)

"What I think is that, for example, we should use the red key with the blue chest, and if that's correct, we should find the purple key inside. Then, we use the blue key with the yellow chest to find the green key inside. And then, use the yellow key with the red chest to find the orange key. And finally we use the keys we found to open their respective chests and see if that leads us to something. Does that makes sense?"

P.S.: Finally! FINALLY!!! A TRIPLE PAGEBREAK!!!
I can't help but feel as if this is a bad idea, but I have no other ideas as to how to solve this. Let's go with Zuko's plan! I'll take the keys and open the chests Zuko tells me to open. If these things are Mimics or some other sort of trap, I think it'd be best if I tried opening them.

@Ilan:
After reading that, I admit Kairy has a few traits that would fit, but for the most part, my answer would be "no".
Also, congratulations on your triple pagebreak. You realize seiromem will be angry at you? ;)

------------------

"Okay then. I don't see a better option right now, and the longer we stall, the more likely we are to get in danger again. Go ahead, Wes, but be careful. Oh, and give me your medical supplies first, so we have them ready in case something happens to you."
(Great vote of confidence, I know.)

I stay away from the chests and also load my sparkling new crossbow, in case something bad happens (like another Mimic emerging).

Yes, I realize it. And I dare him to try to do something to me! >:D

----------------

I walk towards Wes and I say:

"Alright pal, let's do this! I got your back!"

I prepare my weapon to fight alongside Wes in case we get attacked.

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

Coming up: Zuko's death!

Now I'm afraid I'm missing something important or saying something stupid, but... I don't get this. Are you just joking or did I say something wrong? If so, I'm sorry.

P.S.: Maybe you should actually tell Wes which chest he is supposed to be opening, and with which key.


Edit:

Coming up: Zuko's death!
Nooooo! He didn't mean it like that, really! Here, you can have my next pagebreak instead!
I'll wait for the others to open the chests.

Because of reasons.
@seiromem: WAIT, NO! I WAS KIDDING! I WAS KIDDING!!!

@NeverSilent: Nah, you didn't said anything wrong! I was just looking for a glimpse of hope for a relationship between Zuko and Kairy...

----------------

"Remember Wes, we have to use the red key with the blue chest, the blue key with the yellow chest, and the yellow key with the red chest."

"Alright guys, I think I have this figured out." Zuko claims, and he soon explains what he thinks to everyone.
"Heh, pretty good, from a lesser demon." Razuna comments while Kairy takes out her crossbow.
"Alright, who's opening them?" she says as she loads it.
"I will!" Wes offers as he walks to the pedestal.
"Alright, give us the medicine, we'll use it if this is a trap or something."
"What optimism, Kairy." Fureira says as she wields her chakrams.
Wes picks up a red key and brings it to the blue lock in the chest.
He puts it in the lock, and his vision hazes. Soon he sees nothing but crystal and snow. A blizzard appears, twirls around him, and he whites out. After an indistinguishable amount of time, he awakens back in the room with the others.
Immediately, a blinding white light flashes and in the center of the room where the pedestal was floats an angel. She's holding some documents...
"These are the key to your salvation. They contain what you might not think as what you need, but you will need them."
With that, the stunned group finds themselves drawn to the angel.
She then holds out a quill and says
"Sign here, and your needs will be met."
Everyone get's a blaze in their eye, and soon their greed overwhelms them.
The push each other aside, stomp on each other, and get physical. Soon weapons are drawn, but their expressions aren't their own. Bazyli simply hides, away from the conflict that envelopes them. Eventually, while the others quarrel, Zuko makes his way to the angel and grabs the quill.
She was smiling since the beginning, and frowns when Zuko takes it. He quickly grabs the documents out of the angel's hand, when the three pages break under his grip. His face contorts with rage, and he lashed out at the angel. Before that happens, a portal of space time tears open between them! Out of it pour many cyber ninjas, all trying to secure the documents for themselves. One stabs a foolish Zuko, who thought he could get his desires, only to have them break in his hands.
Soon everyone is annihilated, and the document's pieces are collected by the ninjas and taken back into the portal. The angel starts laughing. It's slow, creepy and disturbing.
This is what Wes dreams of while he is frozen in a crystal, caused by the chest with the blue lock. The Red key had been rejected and sent flying from Wes's grasp when the magical booby trap, hidden inside the chest, released the energy that froze Wes. Everyone is surprised, then they start to try and break the ice. Fureira with her fire magic, Razuna and Wes with their swords. Bazyli tries to crack the ice with his new ball&chain, to no avail. Shivad tries to comfort Bazyli who gets a sick feeling in his stomach that Wes stands frozen before them.
"How do we free him!?" He asks desperately.
"Once I've rested more I will try to move the ice, don't you worry Bazyli, I can free him easy... just not in this moment..."
Shivad consoles Bazyli.
"In the mean time, shall we try something different? Perhaps it's not as convoluted as you all thought it was." Fureira suggests.
"Possibly, the red key with the red chest?"
"Well, why don't YOU do it if you're so confident, Fureira." Kairy replies, slightly irritated.
Fureira does so. She grabs the yellow key and brings it to the yellow chest. Fitting the key in the lock, the chest opens. Fureira stoops in and grabs it's contents, revealing a... Stone.
"Hm. Wonder what this does." She says as she holds it.
"Oh well, let's see what's in box color blue!"
She places the yellow key back on the pedestal and grabs the blue key, and with it opens the blue chest, in front of the frozen Wes. Opening safely, she finds a... device of some sort? It's like a syringe, with a giant bulb on the end. It's empty.
"What... is this?" She asks, not really expecting an answer.
After wards she opens the red chests after placing the blue key back on the pedestal and grabbing the red key from the ground. Opening the red chest, she finds a small golden statue.
"You guys should take this, I've not need for treasure."
Kairy grabs it as soon as it's offered and places it in her bag.
"Alright, so... now what?" Kairy asks.
"Hm... we have some kind of syringe and a stone." Zuko states, laying out the very sparse pieces of the puzzle.
"Any ideas, Fureira?" Kairy asks, if a little hostile.
"Nope." She replies briefly.

Okay, that was unfair! With those three other chests, you made it look more complicated than what it was, seiromem! DAMNIT!

...

Alright... Calm down, Ilan... Resist your urges to kill the gamemaster and think of some way to solve this... And then we kill him...
...Oh. Well, I suppose it was about time something happened to me. Everyone else has been knocked out/killed except for me, after all, I guess it needed to happen to me eventually.

Anyway, uh, I'll be cheering for you guys while trapped in the ice crystal thing and having weird dreams!
Try not to get terribly injured or die or anything, you guys!
"I have no idea what we these are for..." I say exasperated. If I'm exasperated I'm certain everyone else is feeling similar.
Wait a second!
Bazily is not at level eight, he never used his powerstone!
And we have two powerstones not three.

I hand a powerstone to Bazily and the other one to Fureira.

And while we're at it, I ask her,again:
"Do you know what this blue vial works for?"

Pffff... Maybe I'm just dumb, but I'm honestly drawing a blank right now.

But at least we found some more gold. Yay!

------------

"Blast! That could have gone better. Since you can't cast spells right now, Shivad, let me try something in the meantime." I cast Welken Bolster on Wes in an attempt to unfreeze him (or at least warm him up a bit).

"I don't have the slightest clue what this stuff is for. Can I take a closer look at them?"
I inspect the stone and syringe-thing more closely and also experiment with them a little, like touching the chests' locks with them. I make sure not to sting myself with the syringe, though.


P.S.: @Ilan14:
Never stop hoping. Even when it's completely hopeless ;)
"Wait, didn't the scriptures said something about holding a stone, maybe this one is the stone that those scriptures referred to. Now, if only we could decipher the rest of the scriptures..."
MAN! This is getting slow!

seiromem, do you think you could give us a clue on how to proceed, or something? Because otherwise, we're stuck.

Syringes are used to take liquid and inject it into something.
Broaden your horizon, it doesn't JUST work with liquids.

Also that rune with the

"Hold the stone, ?ul"
the ? = f

Also, Imma edit in why demons aren't trusted, since that's what someone asked and I would of answered it if I hadn't forgotten!

So, like, around 5000 years ago the world was largely underdeveloped.
It had only been 1500 years since creation (Start of the world) o things were slow. People eventually started congregating into cities at the suggestion of the Ultima Deity of Unity, Harmonia. She was one of the original four Ultima Deities, Harmonia, Dissidius, Continenta, and Tidebb. The last two are dead by now, and the first two still live today.
Anyways, people were coming together, demons and other such "monsters" had recently been made (Around 300 or so years ago) and to Dissidius, it was boring.In that time, no one knew what war was, it wasn't even a concept. Dissidius being the Ultima deity of Chaos, he wanted something exciting.
So he created the Etheral Crown, spreading rumors through the humans and Demons that it would grant amazing powers to the one who wore it.
A king found it, and he protected it, but the demons were spurred by Dissidius to organize and assault the king to get the crown. War was discovered.
Eventually hordes of demons spilled from the underealm in search of the crown, laying waste to everything in their path. Soon the crown was lost, some think due to Harmonia's interference. She also enlisted the second son of Dissidius, Daethos, to build a gate and guard the underealm so that the demons couldn't come out, and created the order of Daethos to round up all the demons in the overealm and shove them back into the underealm. Demons still try to find the crown to this day, and the Order of the Etheral crown was created to make sure the demons didn't get it.
Thanks to Dissidius, humans knew war, and they associated it with demons.
The last thousands of years didn't help, with demons breaking out of the underealm frequently, causing all kinds of havoc. Demons have successfully lived with humans before, and they still do now, but old wounds prevent anything put distrust with demons.
"Guys, this may be crazy. But what if the sryinge not only works in liquids, but also solids? Like the ice where Wes is trapped..."

Hey guys, sorry for my relative inactivity here. I'm not dead yet, I'm just extremely busy for the release of my own game. As soon as that's done, I'll be concentrating on this a lot more again.

---------------

Since none of my actions seem to have had any effect, I shrug and hand Zuko the syringe and stone. "Yeah, sure. I don't know any more. Here, you can try if you want."


P.S.: Maybe I'm overinterpreting this, but maybe we are supposed to simply use the syringe on the stone? It's not a very straightforward idea, but what the hey...
Ah, it's true! You were about to complete your game, good luck with that by the way! :)

----------------

"Okaaay... Not exactly what I was thinking, but what the hell?"

I use the Sryinge on the Stone. What could possibly go wrong?
