Hopscotch

Frisk found Sans and Papyrus waiting for them in a wide clearing. The human could see the eyes of many Diamond Dogs glinting in the darkness near the trees. Several different coloured tiles made out of polished gemstone lay on the ground in a long, complicated path and Frisk thought it looked a bit like a long game of hopscotch.

Papyrus spotted them and with dramatic flair, he explained that this was a puzzle designed by Lora to test humans. Frisk paid close attention to how it worked, nearly every gem was enchanted to slightly zap those who stood on them and only who solved a riddle would figure out the safe way across.

Papyrus turned to Sans and nudged the dozing skeleton awake. Sans yawned, looked over at Frisk and said the safe path involved the gems that were identical in everything except for their names.

He then fell back asleep.

Frisk made a show of trying to 'solve' the puzzle, they intended to fail agter all, and hopped onto a yellow tile.

Ouch that hurt- it only took away 1 hp?

Frisk experimented, hopping from one tile to the next, they weren't quite sure which ones zapped them or not but when half their health was gone, they had somehow stumbled to the finish, they almost thought they were being guided.

Papyrus praised their cunning and declared the human a worthy opponent! With the promise of more cunning traps and astounding puzzles, The Great Papyrus dashed off. Sans walked over to Frisk and gave them something, Lora asked him to give it to whoever beat the 'Hardest Hopscotch Ever' puzzle as a reward.

* You got...You got a Homemade Chocolate...
* Made with perseverance and kindness to get the perfect flavour. Restores 50 hp.

Sans went on to say that Papyrus had been down lately, even to the point where he couldn't think up new puzzles, one of his favourite jobs as a sentry. Lora heard about it and gave him some new ideas, Sans said she even asked people online using the Undernet. Frisk smiled at the idea and stated that they would do their best to cheer up Papyrus.
