//o sorry

Maya smiled. “We’ve all made it, just watch out for the poison trap next.”

Pocky groaned. "You say that so casually."

"Which way do we go now?" Rainy asked

“I’m honestly surprised these still work, thus thing is centuries old…” she said, moving on.

Eli helped to lead Rainy down the path, looking around at the walls for any levers.

"So, if I remember correctly, there's a secret door somewhere along these walls. The poison trap is just before it, and then the last one is inside it. After that, we get to the statue."

Pocky nodded. "Problem being, how will we tell where the poison trap is?"

"Poison sounds really…bad," Rainy spoke up. "Maybe there's a way to bypass that entirely?"

Pocky narrowed her eyes. "I don't think so." she said. "But maybe we could trick the trap somehow?"

“Well, maybe it’s the kind that activates when we open the door. So we could all step back and hit the lever with your cane or something?l

"That sounds reasonable," Rainy said. "If everyone agrees." She handed off her cane.

Pocky nodded. "This could work."

"It's going to," Maya said firmly. "We're making it out of here."

Pocky nodded and stood straighter.

"Okay, if we're ready, lets do it," Rainy said

Maya moved forward until she saw a lever, then reached for it with the cane. Hitting it, she passed the cane back. A door opened, and poison fell from the doorway, seeping out and near them.

Pocky backed up, against the wall. "Good job." She whispered.

“How are we going to get past this? It’s blocking the way to the door.”

"I wonder what type of poison it is," Rainy mused.

She pulled a small but of paper from her bag and dropped it in the liquid. It dissolved. “Some sort of acid.”

"I don't suppose anyone has baking soda to counteract the acidity," Rainy said with a wry, nervous grin.

“No,” she laughed. “I have coffee? Does that even work?”

Rainy shook her head. "Coffee's acidic. I don't know what else we can do. Maybe water, to dilute it?"

“I have some,” she said, pulling a bottle out.
