Ruby Quest: Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The door makes a soft "click" as Ruby fits the LETTER OPENER in the pupil of the eye painting. Maybe it's unlocked.

She doesn't remember if that handle had been there before or not.

>Go into the closet/hallway of death.

It's a small closet, not much room inside. It reeks of death, but at this point, what choice does Ruby have?

RUN.

as fast as she can, but the monstrous thing is hot on her heels snaking after her.

>head back into the Z-Room

Tom opens the hatch just to make sure the monstrous thing is dealt with. No signs of movement come from it or the room beyond, and there is only silence.

Ruby knows that with Tom behind the grate, if she doesn't do this no one will.

Inside the small closet is a ball of string. Ruby takes it with her.

Chapter 3

There's something gold in the remains! Pick it up!

>There's something gold in the remains! Pick it up!

It appears to be a teeny-tiny key.

USE IT ON THE TINY TREASURECHEST!

>USE IT ON THE TINY TREASURECHEST!

It clicks open softly. There's an access

card inside.

USE STRING TO RETRIEVE KEYCARD NAO?

>USE STRING TO RETRIEVE KEYCARD NAO?

Ruby heads back into the room with the cell...

Ruby calls down the instructions, then lowers the string.

Tom ties the card to the end, and Ruby pulls it back up.

Tom asks Ruby to let him out.

Tom really wants to come out.

Tom says he's scared and he's trapped.

Tom asks Ruby to please let him out now.
