[ENTRANCE(room#1)]
Entrance is a room. "Welcome! You were sent out to an island in Guatemala with an exploration team in search of an artifact. After passing aimlessly through the thick brambles of green, your group splits into pairs. Paired with your best friend, Gio, you end up finding a Mayan Temple. Without anyone responding to your calls, both of you decide to investigate but upon entering the first room both of you are locked inside and must find a way to escape. You can talk to Gio anytime. TIP-Have fun examining things, talking to Gio (he has a few different replies) etc. and take what you can! 

The Entrance room is bland aside from the detailed murals carved on the walls and a few stray cobwebs hanging off the chipped stone. You notice there are overhead labels on three doorways. To your north is the huge stone entrance door that closed behind you and Gio. The Storage Room is to your west. A library is to your east. What looks to be a hallway is to your south."

Gio is here. "Gio is with you in this room. Though, he's agreed that he will follow you around as you explore."
The description of Gio is "He has golden blonde hair, his mullet is tied behind in a ponytail. This is probably because the harsh conditions in the jungle would tangle it.

[paragraph break] You nod in agreement.[or] 'You're doing great! Let's get out of here together. First, look around.' [line break] You think Gio is stating the obvious but appreciate his advice nonetheless.[at random]"

[STORAGE ROOM(room#2)]
Storage room is west of the Entrance. "You and Gio walk into the room, eyes on the lookout for anything. Luckily, the various cracks through the roof reveal several vases in rows starting from either side of the doorway.

Quite a few pages are written in and one in particular is bookmarked: [line break] 'It's been four whole days... My water has run out and I still can't seem to find what I'm looking for! I've examined everywhere except the vases in this room! They are much too tall and I wouldn't dare to break such relics anyway. Though, sitting in this room with strange vases is sickening and I accidentally kicked one. Whatever, I'll just hope I can get out of here.'"
Before taking journal, say "A centipede crawls over one of the pages. Gross. You decide against it."
Instead of showing the red key to Gio, say "Gio looks at it, studying the bright red gem. 'Hmm.. Interesting! Think we could use that in one of the rooms here.' [line break] Welp."

[ABANDONED LBRARY(room#3)]
Abandoned Library is east of the Entrance. "You step in first, Gio being far more cautious than you but follows inside anyway.

In the Southwest side, it has a panel saying Secret."
The riddle is in the Unknown Pathway. The riddle is scenery. “Woooaaahhhh, there are such fascinating carving prints on the walls. Ohh, That might be the reason why it’s called the Unknown Pathway, it’s so unique and amazing!

Ah! There is another door! It seems to be a steel door with a blue keyhole. Oh right! I have found a blue key hole from the other room. Maybe this key may unlock this door and lead me outside. I should take the artifact and leave."
