Act 1: Fiery Pompeii
You feel someone grab your wrist and yank you. Before you can even yelp, you feel yourself spinning. Just as you are thinking you are gonna throw up, the spinning abruptly stops. As you look around, you see a bunch of buildings that you don't recognize, and... a ginormous volcano spewing ominous grey ash cloud.
"What the..." you say to yourself in disbelief.
"We don't have much time," said an unfamiliar voice behind you. You whip around, and see an unfamiliar boy operating a weird gadget in his hands. "We're in Pompeii, 79 AD. A few hours before its destruction."
"Look, I know you're confused. But we don't have much time. I desperately need your help. I can't solve these puzzles by myself." he continues, as he produces a few things from his bag, and lays them in front of you.
"There's literally a volcano that's about to explode here, and you want me to solve puzzles?!" you cry out, distressed.
"The three core essences of Skule™ have been stolen, and without them, Skule™ will cease to exist. One of them is here, and I know where it is. But I don't know how to unlock the crate it's in," the boy explains, exasperated.
You have no option but to believe the boy. You sigh, and start looking through the puzzles.
