《Escape The Night - Season 3》Episode 7, Part 2 - The Murky Moat

The group were crowded around the bird bath, the necklace clearly visible at the bottom, with a locked box next to it.
"Ok, who's going for the necklace? And that box," Zoe asked.
"How cold it it?" Willow asked.
"Very," Thomas replied.
"I'll still do it, but someone else will need to get the box," Willow said.
"I'll do it," Sean said.
"Let's do this," Willow said. Willow and Sean rolled up their sleeves and the group stepped back, then plunged their hands into the ice cold bird bath.
So, I go for the necklace, and immediately regret my life decisions.
It was so cold. My arm was numb in a few seconds.
"Its so cold," Willow said.
"I got the box!" Sean said.
"Have you got feeling in your arm?" Willow asked.
"No."
"Me neither," Willow grabbed the necklace, "I have it!"
The group rejoined them and looked at the necklace and box.
"What is that box? Do we have any keys we didn't use that might fit work on it?" Lizzie asked.
"There's no keyhole," Jack said. The group stood for a moment, puzzled.
"I think we should leave it in the break room for now. It might be useful later," Willow said. The group agreed.
"We'll take it back for you," Alex said. Jack gave him the box and he and Lauren left. The guests headed back to the witch.

When the guests made it to the moat, Mark was still standing in the exact same place, still in a trance.
"We have your necklace! Now let Mark go!" Sean shouted.
"Throw the necklace into the moat," the witch said in a sing-song voice. Willow threw the necklace into the moat and Mark was released from the spell. He stumbled back, clearly disoriented.

"What happened?" he asked, dazed and confused.
"She had you in a trance," Sean explained.
"Oh. For how long?" Mark asked.
"About 20 minutes," Sean replied.
"Send your chosen two to me and I will reward you greatly," the witch sang.
"I don't wanna vote again!" Sasha exclaimed.
"Looks like we have to," Phil said. The group trudged back to the break room, each one of them desperately trying to justify who they will vote for.

Fall of a Civilization - Modern Apocalypse
Today was an ordinary day. The same day as every day. The start of a monotonous day for some while being an exciting one for others. Today was supposed to be the latter for me. My first day in an abroad country, coming here for my studies. But everything changed when the world started spewing monstrosities, abhorrent creatures, and powers. This is the story following Rudy, who gets trapped in a foreign country when the world decided to metaphorically flip its table. If the [horror] tag didn't already tell you, this story tries to give more focus to the monsters than other Litrpg's and also intends to have a much more serious tone. My writing may be sub-par as I am a starting writer, but I promise to strive and improve as I keep writing along with your feedback and response. Updates will be at every 3 days.

Throughout the Ages
A new virtual reality game has just been released, different to any that have come before it. Throughout the Ages sees the players guiding a small community from the the stone age onwards, acting as benevolent gods that inspire and bless their charges. The peoples of Lorinas are not mere abstractions, though, but complex AI with their own thoughts and motives, living in a rich and dangerous fantasy world! Follow the tale of John, the uninteresting author self-insert character, and his sexy AI handmaiden Jade, as they pursue success in a game where their decisions can mean life or death! This story is supposed to be a dungeon lord like story in a VR multiplayer setting, I hope people who read it enjoy it. Partially ghostwritten by the incredibly handsome and clever Sniggyfigbat, and edited by the occasionally competent Dosahder.(Warning: this synopsis might not be entirely objective) (Upload schedule is highly irregular due to having to match three different plannings) more tags might be added in the future.Also it is my first story so please point out spelling and grammar mistakes.

Souls
To be summoned to another world of swords and magic is the dream of anyone who wants more from life. With the chance of becoming a master of the sword, to grow more powerful than anyone could ever imagine. All this could be Leon one day. If he was the Hero. Instead, he along with his entire school was summoned into this world to fight the demon race whose king was recently died for unknown reasons, all to protect the people who Leon could really not care if they die. He mainly just wants to use magic and fly. But why has the Demon King died? How were these people able to summon people from across dimensions? And how could such a plain-looking boy like Leon ever hope to survive in a world where everyone, including the demons, don't really like him. They don't hate him, but they would rather not have anything to do with him. Disclaimer: My grammar is crap, and you have the right to tell me just how much I suck at writing. Also if your feeling like this series is very much like Arifureta, then I'm sorry. Because the beginning of this story will sound very much like that series.
