Sylvana removed her cloak,  and began to make sure her books were in the best condition possible. They were leather bound, oiled and in carrying cases, but water is water and paper is paper. After she had done what she could, she wrung her cloak out and stood up. Her facial expression did not suggest the same level of confidence as it did prior to the drop.<br/><br/>"Well, this first platform will have to be our testing ground. We need to know if it was triggered because two people were on it at once, or because one person stepped on it after another. If the former, it would seem we could just have everyone hop to the end in a long line. But the puzzle doesn't seem to be solved yet."<br/><br/>"Kera, I agree with you, those black squares are probably key. Unfortunately, we don't know what else may come up, and falling below the water towards the end would be most undesirable. First thing is first, we need to figure out the water curtain. if those stay up, only one of us can be on the platforms at once. I'll go first, I'll head for the black squares, and position  myself as close to the other hall as possible."<br/><br/>With that, Syl jumped off to the platform. If it was solid, she would continue, and jump to the platform to the left.
