Final Trial

[After everyone is done investigating the rooms, they will hear a faint creeek from the mansion’s entrance. Once they heads towards the noise they will discover a set of stairs leading to the basement that definitely weren’t there earlier.

Once they head downstairs, they will find themselves in a long hallway that seems to stretch out forever. It doesn’t, luckily, but eventually the hallway ends at a large empty room, with just a throne in the center.

The living guests will immediately realize they're not alone because King Dice is here already laying across the throne and smoking a cigar. He grins at the survivors and stand up.]

Well congrats, kids! I must say I’m impressed that that you managed to get down here alive, considering who was leading ya.

Now, I’m sure y’all have a lot of questions about what’s going on but I gotta settle something first:

[He looks directly at Michael.]

Mikey, I believe we have to finish our arrangement now.

I found this, like, super creepy room full of video monitors? There was a bunch of different places on them...a skeleton guy land that looked like everyone there was tripping on raisins or something, and then this really spooky door just floating in the middle of nowhere...and then there were a bunch of monitors that had, like, some really depressed animals on them. Just, like, super down. Oh! And the skeleton of whoever 'Michael' was. Chained up.

...A living skeleton like the raisin-tripping land or a skeleton skeleton.

Oh, no, this was just, like, a normal skeleton. A dead one. It was super sad.

Oh no.

[What the heck, Moron Mountain.]

...You think it might be the Michael Jordan guy from those novels in our rooms?

[blinks.

blinks some more.]

What novels?

There were books in all- well, I thought all our rooms, anyway. About how Mister Swackhammer had tried kidnapping a bunch of people before but they beat him at basketball with the help of someone named Michael Jordan.

Oh! That one. I was using it to prop my door open, I think. I didn't realize you could read it!

[CLEOPATRA.]

[Cleo please]

Oh! That's very- resourceful. But yes, you could've also read it.

Oops. So...who was Michael, anyway?

A professional basketball player? I guess he was supposed to be sort of famous on his world.

Ohhh.

[...]

Hot.

[focus cleo]

So I guess he, like, got kidnapped and Swackhammer just let him die there....

That's- okay, that is really sad, but it's strange, too. In the books he won the game and everyone Swackhammer was trying to kidnap went free.

Weird. Did it say what the other people looked like? Were they like us, or...?

I think most of them were animal people like Mister Otis? They were lead by a rabbit named Bugs.

"Depressed animals"?

[immediately perks up]

what kind were they?

Uh....there was a grey rabbit, and a black duck.

...So no rats or gorillas.

[he cares significantly less now]

Uhhhh....no, I don't think so. Sorry.

[sigh]

It is fine. No doubt we shall need to rescue the duck and rabbit, once this is over.

You think so? That'd be...

[You can practically see the gears turning in her head.]

...The right thing to do?

[... He would give her a hard time, but, no. He's been there, once. He gets you.]

Indeed, it would be.

[Cleo glances at Penny, at Beth, at all the rest of them. Even Gandhi. Then she looks back at Dinobot.]

Then we'll do that.

Yes.

But first, we must deal with the task at hand... as much as I wan't nothing more to do with King Dice's nonsense.

[She is so proud of Cleo right now]

[ thumbs up! ]
