1) There are rusted swords in the torture room, yeh! As far as tools are concerned, the group will be able to find pliers and shears (also rusted) with no problem; however, the room is devoid of anything more useful like pickaxes or shovels or hammers or screwdrivers. How does one torture with a pickaxe?? The owner of the room has, perhaps, not figured that out yet. LACK OF IMAGINATION

Kaine can easily crawl up the ceiling and attach a camera there; he won't find anything out of the ordinary while up there, and camera findings will be at the end of the write up c:

2) The room seems devoid of any secret passages, and the torture devices don't have anything useful inside of them. Lotor will notice that the iron maiden's interior is covered in dried blood, though. If he touches a spike, he will cut himself! And get the sensation that something inside the iron maiden is hungry, and that whatever it is thinks he's a delicious snack. :9

There are plants in this room, and when Endorsi kills one, they will, like. Totally LOSE THEIR SHIT at the party. The flowers and vines will become super aggressive and will attack the entire party as violently as they can. They will try to take BIG CHOMPS OF FLESH out of people, but they are especially fond of eyes! It isn't a requirement for a character to lose an eye to a vine, but if you want to, this is your chance!! Embrace your inner pirate!! For as violent as they are, it is pretty easy to kill/destroy/burn away/what have you the plants, and they will settle down once they are properly beaten into submission. Injuries in this portion will be minor, at worst, and you can have those injuries be whatever you want them to be. RULE OF INJURY FUN!

Wilbur may sit on the throne. Nothing happens at first, so the party may begin their bonfire at leisure, if they still wish to after PLANT AND VINE APOCALYPSE.

3) Every time a character tries to dismantle some torture equipment, they will find themselves surprisingly clumsy in handling the equipment and hurting themselves at every turn. The same HUNGER sensation that Kaine felt earlier with the iron maiden returns, only this time everyone can feel it; it's like there is something in the room that wishes to DEVOUR, and it isn't happy about you guys taking apart the equipment. Nevertheless, should you continue through the small injuries and accidents, a bonfire can be made. A face does appear in the bonfire, but its features are completely indiscernible and it vanishes once Endorsi throws a rock at it. And after that--

Iron straps suddenly clamp Wilbur in place on the throne. The image of the throne itself seems to flicker a few times, before it shifts from the edgy black wing thing to an electric chair. Wilbur is stuck in the chair, with the helmet around his head, and no amount of force or magic can break him free. Characters are free to try, but eventually, the chair bursts to life, sending a wave of (non-lethal) electricity through Wilbur.

The electricity will knock Wilbur out, but in the back of his mind, he will hear a nondescript voice commanding him to attack the group. The voice will be enticing, soothing, comforting, and Wilbur will find himself wanting to follow its every command, as though brainwashed. Once he embraces the voice, the chair will let him free, and he will find himself compelled to attack the rest of the group. I don't know Wilbur's powerset so I don't know how powerful of a combatant he is, so injuries in this portion will be up to y'all! You can go as full ham danger as you want, or the injuries can be mild, it is up to you. The only thing that will snap Wilbur out of his brainwash is smacking him upside the head. The brainwash will fade at that point, and Wilbur will be back to normal, having remembered everything he did while under the effect of brainwash.

4) And finally, when Kaine retrieves the camera, he will notice. . . something strange about the footage. The footage of the entire group's exploration of the torture chamber is fine, but there are a few times when a ghostly figure seems to make an appearance, even though none of the group actually saw this figure in person. The Pale Rider appears in the footage at the following times:

- When Lotor is examining the iron maiden and cuts hismelf; the figure is looming over the iron maiden, the scythe held very close to Lotor's neck.
- When the face appears in the bonfire; the figure appears in the midst of the flame, holding its scythe high in the air, the weapon glistening in the fire.
- When Wilbur is trapped in the electric chair; it appears to hover over the chair as the iron shackles clamp down, and it is the one that activates the chair to send a shock through Wilbur's system. The entire time Wilbur is brainwashed, the figure is superimposed over Wilbur's, mirroring each of Wilbur's actions on its own, like it's controlling every move. It vanishes for good once Wilbur is brought back to his senses.
