"What kinds of traps?" Cassidy poses the question.

Fred says, "Ominous bottomless pits, firebombs, vibro-punji sticks, logs rigged with grenades, exploding inflatable clowns..."

"That's what I meant too: The styles of traps are like Joker's, but more expansive because they represent all the circus, not just clowns."

OOG: this is why I left, everything was already dead. Hail to the king hasn't been posted in since before I was away, and this has only grown by a couple pages. I mean hell, I haven't really missed anything except MSN sessions.
"An..." <--- (Hearing a whisper in my head) Marshall sits in silence, his thoughts on the mission bubbling inside his head under a dome of thoughts somewhat more distant. The far off darkness, the shadows, and his fate, all floating far off in that abyss that is the future. He opens his eyes, in the back of his mind hearing the echo of the whisper. "sem"

The Ring finds its senses impeded. Kevin believes his ring can identify about twenty to thirty barely warm bodies at the bottom of a pit, but the Ring says that there's quite a bit of interference, both as random noise and as deliberate signal.
OOG: Since you've been gone, Fred, Mario and Cassidy have fused with incredibly powerful enemies, Cassidy has begun technological changes on the vast majority of the team's armaments, Cassidy has set up his Jumper Hotline to help the innocent, Cassidy has begun a Wailing Caverns run with Mario and Fred, Black discovered that an acquaintance of him from back in the Iruga arc is the Fool of the Arcana, Kaylie returned, the defeat of the Void Dragon acquired the team the worship of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the war against Aizen got finished off, the First Ronin was defeated by Kevin/Mario/Fred, Marionato spoke to Naruto, Fraizen and Marionato spoke to Orihime, Kevin went through a round of training with Fraizen, Black began training under Marionato against the revived corpses of his past nemeses, etc. And through MSN and IC play, we're up to our second trainers in ITM.
Also, the reason no one has posted to your part of the quest or to ITM... is because we're waiting on you and others. So you need to POST to Hail to the King for us to continue. Similarly, you need to post here to have the group continue to the actual Vatican part.
Arexa says, "...So, Marshall, what do you think? We can try the more direct approach, blowing into the Vatican from old catacombs."

OOG: your not supposed to post to hail to the king anymore, your supposed to be posting to seeking answers, where you have been directly addressed.

OOG: I apologize, Seeking Answers. Of course, Mario, you may want to post... HERE. About THIS game. Just so y'know . Since you have proposed going to the hostages section, Kevin has confirmed hostage-like signatures and Fred has explained the traps to Cassidy and Kevin.

"There's twenty to thirty barely people at the bottom of a pit, more than that I can't say, the ring's picking up a lot of interference."

Fred says, "Is it sure that it's HUMANS, or is it just picking up shape or heat?"

"Specifically thirty slightly warm bodies. Even if they're dead we should still get them, the families deserve something."

"My concern is if those are thirty, say, inflatable sex toys filled with slightly warm helium or something."

"The ring should be able to tell the difference, Ring, were the bodies human, moreover, was their any vital signs?"

The Ring actually can't, not with the interference. All it could tell was human-shaped warmth sources.

"Damn it all, too much shit interfering. We should check it out, send a shadow clone or something down there to find out.

"Yeah, some remote sensor, the problem is if the interference prevents even that signal from reaching us. The door may also only open once if it's a trap."

Is there some way Cassidy can, using his technological and lore expertise, identify the source of the interference? If we can find the source, maybe we can neutralize it. Maybe by using some sort of equal length interference wave that will negate or lessen the effects of the current interference.

"Why not? Even if they are real hostages, there's no reason to expect that the trap would be set up to spare them. We may trigger their deaths by acting. If we destroy the Carnival, the trap is likely to be deactivated."
The interference is being projected by apparently the same mystical force that selects and empowers the Fun Bunch. The problem is that, given that we don't know what the force is, we can't determine its wavelength. It is hiding in its own shadow.

Fine, but once we take care of the the psychos I'm saving those people, like it or not.

OOG: I imagine the GL Corps' procedure would be to attempt to save them, though the concern of the trap killing them would be a serious one. Finding a way to examine the trap would be the ideal move here.
IG: Fred examines the other paths to see what else might be going on there.
