Welcome to...
THE DEVOTION ROOM (3 points)
You enter a large, high-roofed room with four shrines.
The first is a Buddhist shrine set into the wall, with a large wheel as its centrepiece. The wheel has a square axle-hole and square slots through the rim, with a small stone statue of Buddha sitting in front of it.
The second is a Catholic one. An image of the Virgin Mary is at the centre, with a pair of keys in a cross representing the papacy and two large, grand incense burners in the shape of ornate crimson fishes. There is a crimson canopy over the shrine held up with rope.
The third is Protestant, consisting of a single large cross slotted into a heavy wooden base. The shrine is otherwise very plain, except for a large and heavy copy of the Bible on a stone table.
The final one is Muslim - a huge, heavy, metal crescent, with a small hole at each tip, is slotted into the wall, with other items of devotion and intricate Arabic mosaics surrounding it. There is a domed roof over the little shrine.
Finally, you see the door at the other end of the room. It has a large keyhole, and a heavy bar across it. The bar is connected via teeth to a large cog on the wall. The cog is padlocked in place, and has at its centre a square bar jutting out perpendicular to the surface (effectively capping off the axle). A large number of what you presume are prayers and charms, written on small scraps of paper, are lying around the door - though they are not in a script or language you understand.
How will you try and escape?
