John sighs and decides to risk stepping onto the plate, seeing it as the only way forward. John slowly steps on the plate and waits for something to happen.

the statue animates, seizing him by the neck suddenly and without warning but just holding him in place, not actually applying pressure before a female voice like that of his mother's says into his mind "prepare yourself child. for one lie will mean your head will roll. now speak your name"

John almost steps on the pressure plate before throwing his dagger on to see if it triggers anything dangerous.

the dagger isn't sufficient to trigger a response as he's too weak to trigger it without actually stepping on it himself, being a child

John cautiously enters the tunnel and makes sure the way is clear before continuing on just a tad quicker.

he finds an empty room with nothing more than a statue and a pressure plate in front of it

John plays back the events in the room over and over in his mind. He had entered the room and the door had closed behind him. Then he had faced the skeletons with the axe. Could it be the skeletons that were the problem. Did he need to dismember them again? Or maybe? Was it his dagger. John picked up his dagger and began dismembering the skeletons, hoping that the door would open soon.

as soon as he retreives his dagger a portion of the wall slides open for him to continue onward, leaving him not needing to dismember skeletons anymore

John looks around for an exit but it seems that none has opened. He sits and thinks for a while before he realizes that maybe it's the axe that's holding him there. He walks back to the middle of the room and tosses the axe in the air and runs out of the way. The axe floats in the air, and John waits for a way to open.

a way still doesn't open, leaving him trapped in the room until he realizes what he's changed to cause the way to become locked to him

John twirls out of the way, receiving only a nick on his shoulder that he doesn't feel due to the adrenaline. John rolls and cuts off the skeleton's legs then finishes the monster with a blow to it's skull before standing up, panting.

the room grows silent, the bones stopped from moving, but a way doesn't open for him despite his feat of combat prowess

John realizes that he's going to have to fight the skeletons with his axe. He knows that they move slower than him so he begins to run around the room until they seem to have lost him. He then charges a skeleton and swings at it's back, slicing clean through and leaving it's severed body crumpled on the floor. He quickly swings his axe through the second skeleton's shoulder, leaving it swordless until it's head is sliced clean from it's shoulders. John then rolls to dodge a swing from the third skeleton before standing up and beginning to circle the monster.

john finds the axe seems to sear them, burning as it cuts and ceasing their failed attempts at reassembling. the final skeleton continues to head straight for him, lifting it's blade and bringing it down fairly quickly but without much force, aiming for his head

As the skeletons rise John watches, gripping the axe. He draws his dagger with his left hand and chucks it at one of the skeletons while he begins to back up to keep the creatures in front of him.

the dagger seems to pass harmlessly through one of their rib cages, nothing there for it to stick to or do damage to. the floor seems even, the bones having all been moved to the now animated skeletons, leaving an open fighting area

John makes his way to the middle of the room, eyes wide at the floating axe. He grasps the axe and pulls it out of the air to admire it more.

it is oddly lightin his hands and seems to be warm, resonating with the glove as the skeletons around the room rise and reform to make 3 combatants, grabbing their weaponry and approaching him, slowly, their weaponry dragging noisily along the ground

John gasps as he hears the darts hit the wall and looks down. Sure enough he had stepped on a trip wire. He crouches down and begins to crawl through the tunnel, keeping a close eye on the walls to make sure there are no mouths, and a close eye in front of him to make sure there are no traps. He eventually comes to the end of the cave and stands up then steps outside.

john finds an empty room with an axe floating in the middle, various bones and rusty weapons litter the floor, all of them human. as john enters the door shuts behind him, closing him into the room with no where to go
