The final room was blank. There were four stone walls, and a stone ceiling. The room had an odd aura of emptiness. There was literally absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
Jay entered the room, and immediately began searching for the hint, or riddle that would guide him to his reward: the pass word. Yet, after about three minutes of fruitless searching, Jay gave up and sat down. He rested his head in his hands, and began thinking. This final challenge, Jay assumed, would somehow rely on clues from the previous tests: leading up to an ultimate answer.
He thought about the answers to the previous riddles: he had been forced to find the secret entrance, then had answered the elemental riddle, then the rotating door.
Jay thought long and hard about each individual answer, and how they could somehow lead him to the pass word in this blank room. Yet, no matter how much he looked at each of the answers, there seemed to be no logical corrolation between them.
Next, Jay examined the potential motives behind the creation of this room. The creator of this underground chamber wanted to keep a secret from all but himself. So, he created an unfindable entrance, then three mentally taxing challenges, all in order to hide a simple word.
Yet, here Jay was at the end of the trail- and stuck, unable to find the final and most important answer.
Jay sighed. "Why isn't there a clue? A riddle?"
Then, a voice answered Jay. "I'm sure you will be able to figure it out without one, Jay."
Jay turned- a man stood in a black cloak, with his hood down. He had ruffled brown hair, and a stone cold complexion, and a determined aura about him.
Jay was speechless. "Who are you?"
The man shrugged. "Some like to call me Scyne."

Jay turned suddenly fierce. "Whoever you are, you need to leave. This is my business, and mine alone."
The man surveyed the room for himself. "Well, Jay, you were brilliant to get this far, I must say. But, for your own sake, I have to ask you to get this final riddle correct as well."
Jay was shocked. "What are you talking about? There is no riddle here! And, what do you mean for my own sake?"
The man shrugged. "Soon, Jay, you and the whole world will know. This goes far beyond any game, Jay. You have no idea what rides on you finding this pass word."
Then, Jay could hear a second set of footsteps.
Scyne turned and stepped back, facing both the entrance and Jay.
Matt Timmins entered the room. "What are you doing Jay," he looked around and saw Scyne, "and who is that?"
Jay looked Timmins in the eye. "What are you doing here?"
"John told me to stop by. He said it was important that..." he trailed off and looked down.
Jay sighed. "You both need to leave, now."
Scyne shook his head. "I'm ready to leave as soon as I get the pass word. What is the answer to this riddle?"
Jay was becoming increasingly frustrated. "There is no answer!" Suddenly, a far more computerized voice sounded through the room.: "That is correct."
Suddenly, a floor tile moved aside and a podium ascended into view. On it: a single scroll, encased in glass.
The three stopped for a moment, and stared at the scroll, which certainly contained the pass word.
Jay was intrigued at the answer to the riddle: there literally was none. It was quite ingenious.
Scyne moved toward the pass word. Jay stepped in front of him. "I'm not going to tell you again, leave now."
Scyne grinned wickedly. "Don't tell me again, then. I'll still take it."
Jay drew his two dragon longswords, and Scyne his single Dragon Halberd.
Timmins assessed the situation, and equipped his Dharok Armor. The brawl was ready to begin.

Jay positioned himself so that his back was perfectly square with the gladd, and he could see both Scyne and Timmins. Timmins seemed to be staying near the entrance, making sure he could pick off whoever got the scroll during their escape. Jay was confident, assuming he could defeat Scyne, that he could get past Timmins.
Scyne stepped back and pointed the halberd toward Jay. "Last chance to leave without conflict, black sheep mod."
Jay looked him in the eye. "What good is the pass word to you? I have the program."
Scyne seemed both intrigued and amused. "If that is true, I am upholding ancient traditions by keeping the two separate."
Jay nodded slowly. "I'm sure that's all you'd with it."
"Take it as you will, Jay." Scyne shrugged. "Let's gauge how strong you are, shall we?"
With that, he lunged his halberd forward in a very linear attack. Jay moved to the side, and swung both longswords downwards, hammering the halberd to the ground, and out of Scyne's hands. Jay grinned, he had already managed to disarm this 'Scyne' character. He turned to face him, and was met with a surprise: Scyne had leapt into the air, and lunged at Jay'* throat with his bare hands. Jay repositioned himself to avoid being choked, but was still tackled to the ground by the sheer force of the attempt. Scyne held Jay down, and began punching at his face brutally.
Jay was stunned at the sheer fireceness behind Scyne. He expected to be out of hitpoints soon. Suddenly, however, Scyne stopped, and jumped off of Jay. Jay looked up, too weak to lift himself off of the ground: Timmins had taken the scroll from the glass and was attempting to leave.
