What stared back at them was a brand new intersection, Olive could go right, through the hole, or continue straight.

Olive decides to venture through the hole from which the ballista was in. She pushes the ballista to the side making room for everyone else.

As she went through the brand new doorway, she was faced with the choice to go right, which led to a longer hallway, or left, which gave a shorter hallway that then branched further left.

Olive decided to choose the latter of the two options. A short hallway means there is a smaller possibility of traps or even if there are traps, it'll only last in that short hallway.

Olive walked a short distance and came upon a right and left intersection once more, both directions going left relative to the directions after a short distance, however the path to the right was a bit longer.
"How long is this maze?" Gloria asked, disheartened.
"Don't worry, I'm sure it won't take too much longer Gloria." Reginald reassured.
John didn't seem so sure, but said nothing.

Olive shrugs and follows the right intersection. She wonders if she can hear any sort of sounds such as wind or anything that may signify that there is an opening somewhere.

As to openings, there are none other than those of the hallways.
Olive took a right and then a left and then another left.
She was then met with a pendulum that looked like it was made from straw of all things.

Olive looks at the pendulum, it doesn't look very real. Even if it was real, making one out of straw is a poor choice. She walks up to it and pokes the pendulum with the tip of her sword. One can never be too cautious about this type of thing.

As Olive poked the straw pendulum, she was astounded by the lack of resistance, either by the material or the or the hinge that allowed it to swing.
She determined that she would have very little chance of being hurt by it.
After that, John took out a piece of meat he had for luring off predators and put it in the way of the pendulum, mostly to check for enchantments that only effect organic matter.
As it turned out, it didn't have one, but when it happened a loud buzzer sound came from further down the hallway.

Olive winces at the noise. "come on let's get going. I don't want to know what that noise means...." Olive carefully and quickly rushes ahead. The buzz sounded like it couldn't be good news, but maybe if they made it past before anything happened then they would be in the clear right?

As Olive ran passed the pendulum, she saw a tripwire complete with goofily large holes in an adjacent wall, and an extremely shallow pitfall, no more than three feet deep a small distance further down.
A wall blocked her eyes from seeing any further.

"there's a trip wire ahead so be careful" Olive tells the others making the spot above the trip while with a scratch of her sword before walking around the pit and to the end up the hall.

After taking care to get everyone across without touching any traps, Olive saw the worst trap she's ever seen.

Olive looks at the trap and scratches her head. "Is this really it?" olive walks up to the trap giving it a good look over before walking around it. Better safe than sorry, even if it does look like something simple she would still rather not trigger it.

After a short jaunt, Olive slammed into an invisible barrier.
A quick inspection found that there were four runes orientated vertically next to the barrier, the one on the top was red, all others were gray.
"It seems to be some sort of coded barrier, we'll need to figure out what the code is before the way will open." Sarah commented. "What happens if we mess up the code?" Gloria asked. Sarah turned to Gloria. "Excellent question."

Olive wonders if the colors mean anything. Maybe they need to have the grey runes turn red or vise versa. Olive looks around to see if there are any other signs that'll help her with the runes. Could these runes maybe deal with the carrot and box trap in the other room? For now, Olive doesn't think it'll be a safe idea to touch the runes quite yet. She walks back and examines the box with the carrot. She bends down and looks to see if there is anything else inside the box and if there is anything around the box that could be a hazard. She gently prods the box with the tip of her sword.

As Olive prods the box with her sword, the stick falls inward and the whole thing collapses.
Then she hears a loud buzzer sound and from behind her and sees that another rune (the one second from the top in addition to the one on top), was now red as well.
Sarah spoke up. "Red again huh? Maybe it's a code to do with the traps?" John stared at the runes. "I think you're probably right." Reginald clicked his tongue. "But what kind of code?" Sarah looked back at Reginald. "That's the question of the hour isn't it?"

"do you think that maybe the runes are lit up by triggering the traps? Red isn't a good color though" Olive says. She wonders if they should retrace their steps and look at the past traps. Though that also will be quite dangerous if they do that. That buzz...was that the buzz they heard from before? Olive tells the others to stay there while she carefully retraces her steps to the trap from before, the pendulums. They are made of harmless material, but she did hear the buzz when they were at the pendulum. She decides to poke the mechanism with her sword.

Olive pokes the pendulum and nothing happens, except the pendulum reacting to being pushed of course.
Sarah pondered this, apparently not actually listening to Olive's command to stay put. "I dunno, maybe they have to be touched in a particular order?"

Olive decides to ignore the fact that Sarah followed her. "Hm maybe, but how far back do we need to track then? There are four runes and I think there are more than 4 traps but I haven't been counting." She tries to remember the traps they've encountered. It seems like the traps that caused the buzz were not ones that were fatal. Was this the case for all of the traps. They could've just been made to look dangerous but in reality, weren't.
