'''RULES PRESENTATION'''

To really experience this game, spend some time creating the perfect atmosphere. Turn the lights down, and the volume up, and welcome to the Other Side.

'''Gatekeeper:''' Shut up, and listen up.

The game begins with everybody taking it in turns to roll both dice, to determine who will become the Chosen One. Whoever rolls the highest wins. The Chosen One is a creature of destiny, for it alone gets to choose the shape of things to come, by assembling the provinces. The six sections of the game board lock together around the central hub; each one fits over a raised tab which forms one square of the track. The provinces can be assembled in any order.

'''Gatekeeper:''' Makes for a pretty pattern, doesn't it, maggots!

Once the board has been assembled, the Chosen One must take the six sets of Duel cards, and place them on the matching headstones in each Province.

'''Gatekeeper:''' I don't mean to interrupt, but eh... point the six headstones out to these idiots for me!

The headstones are located in the centre of each Province.

'''Gatekeeper:''' I bet you were good at show-and-tell, eh?

The six playing pieces representing the Harbingers are placed on top of the Duel cards. The Chosen One must then take the six sets of coloured Keystones, and place them on the matching squares in each Province. The Character and Soul Ranger cards are arranged in a fan off to one side of the board, and the Fate cards shuffled and placed nearby. The Chosen One then takes the six Numb Skulls, shakes them, and then without looking at the pieces, gives one to each player.

'''Gatekeeper:''' I like them skulls - grinding the number in was almost as much fun as cleaning their insides out...!

Each skull is marked with a number from 1 to 6. You should place your own skull in the groove in the central hub marked with the same number. Remember your number. This groove is called Home, and you must start and finish the game from your own numbered space, rolling an exact number to return to it.

Once you have placed your skull in the ring, take the slab marked with your number. This slab is used to hold your character card, and any Keystones you collect.

Each player must then write their greatest fear on a slip of paper, roll it up, and give it to the Chosen One to place in the Well of Fears, the cup which fits inside the central hub. When all the fears have been collected, the lid is snapped shut, and the Well inserted in the hub.

'''Gatekeeper:''' That is where all the garbage goes, eh? And whatever you're afraid of... is probably rubbish!

The Chosen One then inserts the game tape, and presses Play.

Atmosfear is a race against time, and... the Gatekeeper. He rules this game. To beat him, you'll have to collect all six different coloured Keystones, and then return home to face your worst fear. But it gets worse – he is only going to give you sixty minutes to play - and he likes to play rough - he's the Gatekeeper! Whenever he appears you must -

'''Gatekeeper:''' STOP!

- whatever you were doing and listen everything he has to say. If you are midway through a move, you must freeze, and leave your playing piece where it is: your turn is null and void.

Everybody starts out as a Soul Ranger, a Numb Skull with a common aim: to become a Harbinger, one of the six creatures who preside over the Provinces of the other side.

'''Gatekeeper:''' Gevaudan, the Werewolf; Hellin, the Poltergeist; Khufu, the Mummy; Baron Samedi, the Zombie; Anne de Chantraine, the Witch; Elizabeth Bathory, the Vampire.

To become one of these characters, you must land exactly on one of their six headstones.

When the tape begins, players take it in turns to roll one die, leaving home and striking out for the headstone of their choice. The Chosen One rolls first. You can race out to any headstone using the Ring Road to gain access to any area of the board. The Ring Road is the track which runs around the central hub. You can only move in one direction - you cannot move backwards and then forwards during your move. You do not have to move on your turn. On your journey to a headstone, you cannot collect any Keystones or activate any symbols on squares you might land on; ignore them all.

You only have ten minutes to reach the headstone of your choice, and become a Harbinger. If two or more players are racing to the same headstone, whoever arrives first wins, forcing the others to look for any unclaimed headstones.

The instant you land on a headstone, you become that Harbinger. Remove your Numb Skull from the board and place it in the groove behind your slab. From now on, you will be using your character's own playing piece. Take your character's card and place it in the slab with the Keystone index facing you. This index outlines all the powers of the Keystones you need to collect in order to win the game, and beat the Gatekeeper.

''Gatekeeper:'' Fat chance!

Rejoin the game when your turn comes around by rolling one die, and moving off your headstone on your quest for Keystones.

But you only have ten minutes to become a Harbinger. If you fail, you will be drafted into the ranks of the Soul Rangers.

'''Gatekeeper:''' And that is nothing to be proud of, hey!

If more than half the players fail to become Harbingers by the ten minute mark, the game is forfeited. The game tape must be stopped, and the Gatekeeper declared the winner.

'''Gatekeeper:''' I'm waving you goodby-y-y-y-ye.

You can journey from one Province to another using any track except the Ring Road.

To win a Keystone you must land exactly on a square holding one. You can collect as many Keystones as you want. The more Keystones you collect, the harder it is for your opponents to win. But you will still need all six different coloured Keystones before you can return home. Each colour increases your power - but, if you lose a coloured Keystone, you also lose its power.

''Keystones and their Powers''

''The Duel:'' Your own coloured Keystone gives you the power needed to duel with other Harbingers and Soul Rangers. When you collect this Keystone, you can collect your Duel cards from your headstone. Take your Duel cards and place them behind your slab. To duel with a Harbinger, you must land exactly on a lightning strike. The instant you land on this square, deal one of your cards face-down in front of the Harbinger you want to attack. Your opponent must counter-attack by dealing one of their cards down. Both cards are then turned over. The card with the highest number wins, unless you have played a 7, and your opponent has counter-attacked with an Ace: an Ace beats a 7, but nothing else. Without looking, the winner picks one Keystone from the loser. Both cards, their powers spent, are then removed from the game.

Your own Keystone also gives you the power to dice-duel with any Soul Rangers. To duel a Ranger you must land exactly on a square with a skull, then roll one die. The Ranger you want to duel must counter-attack by rolling one die, and whoever rolls the highest picks a Keystone from the loser.

You can only duel an opponent once from the same square. To duel again, you must leave the square and return to it, or go in search of another.

''Double Dice:'' If you collect this Keystone, you have the power to choose to roll one or two dice, doubling your speed.

''Flight:'' If you have the Keystone providing the power of Flight, you can move from one Province to another without having to roll the dice. To fly from one Province to another, you must land exactly on a square with a compass symbol. The instant you land on this symbol, you have the choice to move to any other square with a compass symbol.

''The Gates:'' Gates are introduced, naturally enough, by the Gatekeeper. You cannot pass through any gate unless you have a Keystone allowing you to do so. This Keystone also allows you to reposition that gate elsewhere on the board, in a place where it could block the passage of an opponent. If you do not possess the Keystone giving you the power to pass through a gate, you must wait, and try and roll your number before proceeding past the obstacle.

''The Black Hole:'' One square to be avoided at all costs, unless you have the Keystone that gives you the power to release yourself, is... the Black Hole. If you are unfortunate enough to stumble into a Black Hole, or worse, be banished to one by the Gatekeeper, you cannot play again until you are released by the Gatekeeper, or have the Keystone allowing you to free yourself. Even if you have this Keystone you must still move to the closest Black Hole, releasing yourself on your next turn.

''Occupation:'' The sixth and final Keystone will give you the power to occupy or steal a square another opponent is on, severely handicapping them in the process. They might have to roll a 6 to play again, or be forced to return to their headstone. Each Harbinger can impose a different punishment, and these are listed in the Keystone index on the back of each Character card.

''Fate:'' At regular intervals throughout the game, you may be asked to...

'''Gatekeeper:''' Take a Fate card, and read it out loud.

The instructions on these cards must be instantly obeyed. They can turn the game in an instant for better, but mostly for worse.

Last and least: the Soul Rangers - the simple Numb Skulls who fail to become Harbingers - who failed to make it to headstones in time. Found in the sewers or the dark side of the Provinces, they play by their own set of rules, preying on anybody foolhardy enough to venture into their underground waste.

If you are unfortunate enough to remain a Ranger, your first job will be to turn any unclaimed Provinces over to the Other Side, reposition any Keystones, and then take a Soul Ranger card. Any Harbinger caught in a Province that is turned over must return to their headstone. Soul Rangers play the game using their skulls, and can resume play from any square bearing this symbol [the skull] in any sewer.

Rangers cannot win keystones by landing on them. Instead, they must prey on Harbingers, lying in wait in the sewers, then chasing them down and trying to land on the same square. If a Ranger lands on the same square occupied by any other opponent, it can steal a Keystone from that character. Soul Rangers have no morals, and even chase each other down!

Soul Rangers cannot be banished and instantly release themselves, even if sent to a Hole by the Gatekeeper. Fortunately, Soul Rangers are confined to the sewers, and cannot set foot in a Province unless the Gatekeeper releases them, or they have enough Keystones to release themselves. Soul Rangers must return to the sewers if a curfew is imposed, unless they have the keystone which frees them. In which case, they can ignore any curfew, and continue playing in the Provinces.

Soul Rangers can use the Ring Road at any time to gain access from one Province to another. Rangers cannot pass through gates, and must roll their number before proceeding through. Like Harbingers, Soul Rangers still need six different coloured Keystones to win, and must return home, roll a 6, and face their worst nightmare to beat the Gatekeeper.

''Winning:'' Once you have collected all six different coloured Keystones, you can start to make your way home, leaving the Provinces and entering the Ring Road that leads to your own numbered groove. To make it home, you have to land exactly on your numbered groove. Once home, you must wait, and try and roll a 6. The instant you roll a 6, request a opponent to remove the Well, shake out a fear and read it out loud. If it is not your fear, say "not" and press stop on the VCR, stopping the clock and beating the Gatekeeper. But, if it ''is'' your worst nightmare, the fear must be returned to the Well, and you must return to your headstone and try again.

'''Gatekeeper:''' This is... pathetic to have to watch, truly pathetic! And I have seen enough!

'''MAIN GAME'''

'''Pre-Game -''' On your marks! Get ready... get set... go!

'''59:01 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. Return to the start, and start again! ''*giggles*''

'''57:48 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. Give me your number. You could have that many free turns... ''OR...'' you could point the finger at the maggot you'd like to see return to the start.

'''56:30 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up! Miss... a turn. ''*giggles''

'''55:08 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up! What is your number? That's how many free turns I'm going to give you. ...say thank you!

'''54:00 -''' Anybody who is in the Black Hole... is released. I hate that.

'''52:47 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. It is better to give than to receive. So, what is your number? I'm going to give you that many free turns.

'''51:30 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. You're stuck between a rock and a hard place... Take a gate and place it directly behind you, then miss a turn.

'''50:08 -''' Anybody who has failed to make it to a headstone is never going to make it, for they are now Soul Rangers!

'''48:48 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. I need a good laugh. So I want you to take a Fate card, and read it out loud! ''*starts snickering''

'''47:32 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up! Ah... take a gate and place it wherever you want.

'''46:30 -''' Time for some anarchy! Any Soul Ranger is now released from the sewers to prowl the provinces. Chase the Harbingers! Run them down! ''*giggles''

'''45:46 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. Not anymore. You're banished!

'''44:59 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next, hands up! What is your number? Ah? Would you like to have that many free turns? You can. OR... you can point out the maggot who has an early lead, and that maggot must return one Keystone, putting it back where it belongs.

'''43:55 -''' Anybody wallowing in the Black Hole is released.

'''42:41 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up? What is your number? Hmm... you ''could'' take that many free turns... OR... you could point the finger at any maggot and force it to show its hand for the rest of the game by turning all its Keystones around, so that all may see. Your call.

'''40:43 -''' Stop! Whose turn... is it next? Hands up! Roll one die, and the number you roll... is the number of turns you will miss! ''*laughs evilly*''

'''39:26 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. Take a Fate card, and read it out loud.

'''38:30 -''' Stop! ...Whose turn is it next? ''Hands'' up! Now... wave to me, precious! ''*sniff*'' I'm waving to you... I'm waving you goodby-y-y-y-ye. You are banished. ''*cackles wheezily*''

'''37:05 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. Take a gate, and place it where it is going to do the most damage.

'''35:54 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. You could have a free turn. OR... you could impose a curfew on the Soul Rangers. That curfew means any Soul Ranger must return to their symbol stones in the sewers. They're grounded for ten minutes, and cannot set foot in any province. The choice is yours.

'''33:52 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. Take a Fate card and read it out loud. I haven't had a good laugh in ages. ''*he does so, profusely*''

'''32:39 -''' If you are wallowing in the Black Hole, you are released. But in return, you must return to your headstone.

'''31:32 -''' Stop! Where is the Chosen One?! Hands up! Long time no see, eh? Did you miss me? Shut up. So tell me, Chosen One: who do you think... needs a bit of a handicap right now? Point that maggot out, and it is going to have to roll its number to play again! Thanks, Chosen One.

'''29:46 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. I have a proposition for you: you can roll one die, and have as many free turns as the number you roll. OR... you can point out who is winning, and that maggot must return one Keystone, and then return to its headstone. Your call.

'''28:23 -''' ''*clears throat*'' I'm going to have to impose a curfew now. Any Soul Ranger must return to the sewers immediately. Return to your symbol stones. You're grounded until I choose to release you.

'''27:01 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up! You are going to hate me for this...! Return a Keystone to the place you found it, OR... roll your number to play again.

'''25:46 -''' ''*clears throat*'' The curfew's over! The Soul Rangers are released.

'''24:47 -''' Anybody in the Black Hole... is released.

'''23:38 -''' Whose turn is it next? Hands up? So! What's it to be? A: You can be banished. B: You can return a Keystone to the place you found it. OR... C: you can roll your number to play again. Variety is the spice of life.

'''21:17 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up! The winner takes all. Who would you like to get even with, maggot? Point the finger. Ahh, ahh... a worthy opponent. Each of you will take a turn to roll both dice, and the one who rolls the highest wins and takes all the loser's Keystones. Easy come, easy go!

'''19:56 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up! Return to your headstone. ''*starts to laugh*''

'''18:52 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up! I want you... to tickle my... funny bone. Take a Fate card... and read it out loud. ''*stifles laughter*''

'''16:18 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. Huh!? I don't like the look of you! So you can forfeit your turn. So who's next? Hands up! You can forfeit your turn too. Now who's next? Hands up. YOU??? You are banished! Heheh! What goes around comes around, hey?

'''15:04 -''' Any imbecile who has fallen into a Black Hole... is released. But there is a catch... you have to return to your headstone.

'''13:48 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. Take a gate, and place it where it will cause the most chaos. I love a bit of anarchy.

'''11:58 -''' Stop. Whose turn is it next? Hands up. Take the good with the bad. Take a Keystone from each one of your opponents. And then... roll your number to play again!

'''10:21 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next, hands up! Ah, you ''could'' have a free turn, OR... you could point the finger at the maggot you would like to see have to roll a 6 to play again. Your choice.

'''9:05 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up! I do not want to get a bad reputation... so I'm going to let you pick any Keystone your little heart desires... from another opponent.

'''7:47 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up. Return one Keystone. Put it back where it belongs, OR... roll your number to play again. At least I gave you a choice. So say thank you, uh? ...if you failed to say thank you, you can also miss a turn, you arrogant little twerp!

'''6:43 -''' Anybody who is in the Black Hole... is released.

'''5:51 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up! Do you believe in... miracles? Take one Keystone from each opponent. Now do you believe?

'''4:50 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up! Give me your number. Er... you ''could'' have that many free turns, OR... you ''could'' point the finger at any maggot and it must return to its headstone!

'''3:46 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Hands up? I want you to take a Fate card, and read it out loud, so we can all laugh at your expense.

'''1:50 -''' Stop... stop.... stop! So. Who has the most Keystones, eh? Hands up. Return one Keystone to the place you found it, OR... roll your number to play again!

'''0:00 -''' It's over you idiots. You have lost, and you only have yourselves to blame. So good riddance. ''*evil laughter*''

FrankT:

'''Pre-Game -''' So... you want to play the game. My game, by my rules. I am... THE GATEKEEPER! I rule this game, and you, you will obey my rules. When I speak you will stop, and you will ''listen''! ...Hmmm? I see... You have all been stained with a color, and marked by a number. If I call your number or your color you must answer "Yes, my Gatekeeper!" If you fail to answer "Yes, my Gatekeeper", when I call your number or color, you will be punished! I'd like to punish one of you now. You? The one who holds the lowest number. YES, YOU! ANSWER ME, YOU MAGGOT! Time's up. If you failed to answer "Yes, my Gatekeeper" in time, you are banished. Move your mark to the closest black hole. You will not play until I choose to release you. But... if you answered in time... you have learned my first lesson. Do not forget! For you will all be called and you will all be tested! Let us begin my game with you. The one who holds the highest number: answer me! You will be the first to roll the dice and begin my game... and your nightmare.

'''2:02 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Who is just about to roll the dice? Answer me! Time's up. If you failed to answer "Yes, my Gatekeeper" in time, you must roll a "6" before you can play again.

'''3:26 -''' I release you from the black hole.

'''4:33 -''' Stop! Those of you on gravestones marked with an "X": Receive a free turn.

''5:43 -''' Stop! Those of you on gravestones marked "Chance": Take the dice and roll it. Roll it now, and if you can roll your number, you can take a key.

'''6:58 -''' Stop! ''*yawn*'' I release those of you in the black hole. Let us all play the first game together. I want each of you to take a turn to roll the dice. What are you waiting for, huh? DO IT! Don't waste my time, for you have precious little of it! Time's up. And if you haven't yet had a turn, you can blame it on the others, not me. Now, who rolled the highest number? Answer me! Time's up. If you answered in time, you may take a key, but if you failed, you have lost a precious prize. As for the one who... rolled the lowest number... answer me!... you will miss a turn.

'''9:26 -''' Stop! Whose turn is next? Answer me! Give me your real name. Huh? I must have missed your middle name. That is a stupid name, isn't it, you maggot! ''*laughs*'' Well. Answer me? ...I think it is. So do all the others. Now, pick up the dice, and roll it! Huh? What number did you roll? There are 26 letters in the alphabet, and you have rolled one of the first six. What letter would that be? Huh? If that letter is in your middle name, you will miss the number of turns you have rolled. If it is not, take a Fate card.

'''11:20 -''' ''(the lighting is subtly altered)'' I release you from the black hole.

'''11:49 -''' Stop! Those of you on gravestones marked with an "X", do not play again until I return.

'''12:27 -''' Stop! I release you from the black hole in time for a game of my choosing! All of you will now take a turn to roll the dice, and the one who rolls the highest... is the Chosen One. Remember! For when I call for the Chosen One, it will answer... or it will pay dearly!

'''13:57 -''' Stop! You! The one whose turn it is next, answer me! Pick up the dice. Now, roll it! What number did you roll? Huh? Not bad! Roll it again. What number did you roll this time? Now, roll it again. Three times lucky? Give me the number. Huh. Now, add all three numbers you rolled together. If the total is more than twelve, receive a key. If not, better luck next time. ''*laughs*''

'''15:54 -''' Stop! You! The one whose turn it is next, answer me! Tell me, who would you like to see banished? Which one of your opponents? Consider it done. That player is banished to the black hole!

'''17:06 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Answer me! You're going to wish it wasn't! Roll the dice! What number did you roll? That is the number of turns you are going to miss, you maggot!

'''18:11 -''' Stop! You! Yes, you! The one whose turn it is next, answer me! You're banished!

'''19:24 -''' ''(the lighting is altered again)'' I release those of you banished to the black hole, and I summon the Chosen One. Who is the Chosen One? Answer me! So... It is you... Take a key, then leave your seat... And come... Sit before me... ''*a skull is visible on his face for a moment*'' I have something very special to show you... It is just for you... It is not for the others... Come closer... Still closer, so I can show you... MY FURY!!! NEVER, EVER COME CLOSER TO ME AGAIN, YOU MAGGOT!

'''21:22 -''' Stop! Those stained with the colors purple, red, or blue, answer me! Roll the dice! If you roll your number, you can take a key.

'''22:31 -''' Stop! Those stained with the colors black, white, and gray, answer me! Roll the dice. If you can roll your number, you can take a key.

'''23:38 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it next? Answer me! You must roll a "6" to play again.

'''24:13 -''' Those of you on gravestones marked with "Time" will miss a turn.

'''24:44 -''' Stop! Those of you on gravestones marked with an "X" will now receive two free turns.

'''25:21 -''' Stop! Whose turn is it now? Answer me! I'd bet you'd like a key. I also bet you cannot roll your number to receive one! Go on: roll the dice. What number did you roll? Is that your number, little maggot? Ah. If it's your number, I'm going to give you a key. If it's not... YOU'RE BANISHED!!! ''*laughs*''

'''26:55 -''' Stop! Whose turn is next? Answer me! It's your turn alright, and you're playing me! Roll the dice! What number did you roll? This is my number: it is "5". If you rolled my number, you cannot play again until I return.

'''28:18 -''' Stop! The writing's on the wall, little maggots! Each of you will now take a turn to roll the dice, and be rewarded or punished accordingly.

''The following text appears on-screen to give the result of a player's roll:

6 - FREE TURN

5 - MISS A TURN

4 - BANISHED

3 - FATE CARD

2 - CHANCE CARD

1 - TIME CARD''

'''29:17 -''' I release you from the black hole.

'''29:47 -''' Stop! I want to play with the Old One now. Find out who is the oldest. The frail one! The one you all pity! Who is the Old One, answer me, or be ''banished''! I want to ask you a question. You will not lie. If you lie, and... one amongst you knows the truth... you will reveal all, and the Old One will die! Now, Old One, how... old are you? ''That'' old! You smell much older! ''*the skull appears again*'' Everybody must pity you! They won't soon. They'll hate you like I do! Now, old maggot, take the dice, but do not roll until I command you. I want you to roll your exact age. Have as many turns as you wish, but if the total you roll is higher than your age, you will start again. Only when the old maggot has rolled its old age will my game continue! Rrrrroll the dice!

'''32:39 -''' Time's up! Answer me, old maggot! Did you manage to roll your old age? If you succeeded, you can take a key. Hopefully you failed miserably! If you failed, you are banished to the black hole, where you will grow older still...!

'''33:55 -''' Stop! All of you will now take a turn to roll the dice! Do it now, and those of you who rolled their numbers can take a key.

'''34:55 -''' ''(the Gatekeeper's voice is amplified slightly)'' I release those banished to the black hole.

'''35:45 -''' Stop! Who holds the most number of my keys? Answer me! Ah... you are a worry... a concern to me. No matter. I banish you to the black hole! ''*laughs*'' You ask why? Because I can. Because I am the Gatekeeper, and this is my game, and your nightmare! ''*snorts*'' Ah. ''*laughs, with additional giggling in the background*''

'''37:23 -''' Do you think I'm fair? ''*looks upset; giggling in the background*'' I have been fair to you all... I have been good to you all! ...on occasion. I can also be very bad! Now I choose to be good. Each of you will now take a turn to roll the dice, and if you roll your number, you can take a key. As for the little maggot in the black hole, you grow weak, while the others grow stronger...!

'''39:14 -''' I release those of you banished to the black hole, and I summon you: the one with the highest number, answer me, you maggot! You have been chosen for the test of the chimes. Listen for the chimes, for when my clock begins to chime, you will take the dice, and roll it twelve times. If you roll your number three times... you will be rewarded.

'''40:45 -''' Those of you on gravestones marked "Fate", yours is to miss a turn. And those of you on gravestones marked "Time"... it is time for you... to receive a free one.

'''41:51 -''' Is anybody wasting away in the black hole? I offer you a chance, a toss of the coin. Tails, and you are free, but heads... And yours is still mine! ''*giggling in the background*''

'''42:24 -''' ''*Chimes start*''

'''42:53 -''' Did the maggot with the highest mark manage to roll its number three times? If you failed, then your failure has released all those in the black hole, but if you succeeded, receive a key.

'''43:44 -''' ''(the Gatekeeper is somewhat wrinkled)'' Stop! I want to play with the Young One now. Answer me! How old are you, little one? Oh. Isn't it past your bedtime, little one? The youngest one is the weakest... easy prey... easy meat... like to meet me on the other side, little one? ''*snorts*'' Pick up the dice. You must roll your exact age before I return. Have as many turns as you wish. Think you can win? I think not. I'll be back with your punishment ''real'' soon!

'''45:15 -''' Psst... psst! Little one... young one... answer me! If you succeeded, you can have a key... but if you failed... Bye bye, little one! Enjoy your fall down into the black hole! Bye bye...!

'''46:20 -''' I release you... from the black hole.

'''46:56 -''' Those of you with odd numbers will now take a turn to roll the dice. If you can roll your number, you will receive a key.

'''47:41 -''' Those of you with even numbers will now take a turn to roll the dice. If you can roll your number, you will receive a key.

'''48:27 -''' Stop! You, the one whose turn it is next! Answer me! Look at me, you maggot! Yes, look at me! Do not turn away from me! You will stare down deep into my eyes, and keep looking at me until I fade away! Don't blink, maggot: if you blink just once, you've shown me your weakness; I'll take a key from you!
