<em>(I fucking hate how Elliquy EATS my posts while I am working on them because the page decides it needs to refresh.  This is the third time it has happened and it's driving me nuts)</em><br/><br/>Jin puzzled through the riddle and examined the door carefully, drawing a rough sketch of the arch and stones in his journal.<br/><br/>(http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ToH_Gallery/ToHGraphic5.jpg)<br/><br/>Taking a moment, he jotted down the riddle underneath the sketch.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><em>"Go back to the tormentor or through the arch, and the second great hall you’ll discover.<br/>Shun green if you can, but night’s good color is for those of great valor.<br/>If shades of red stand for blood the wise will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of magical metal—you’re well along your march.<br/>Two pits along the way will be found to lead to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall.<br/>These keys and those are most important of all, and beware of trembling hands and what will maul.<br/>If you find the false you find the true and into the columned hall you’ll come, and there the throne that’s key and keyed.<br/>The iron men of visage grim do more than meets the viewer’s eye.<br/>You’ve left and left and found my Tomb and now your soul will die.</em></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>As he looked at the wording and compared them with things they had already encountered, he scratched his head, still stumped.  He drew out the rough map, and compared it with the areas they ahd discovered and couldn't quite figure something out.  He felt it was on the edge of his mind.<br/><br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/43/Map.png)<br/><br/>He called back down the hallway to the girls.<br/><strong><br/>"Say, Wendy and Treats?  When you girls disappeared, where did you say that you re-appeared and what did that area look like?  I can't quite figure out how it connects to this hallway."</strong><br/><br/>He scratched his head and chewed his lip quizzically.<br/><strong><br/>"For that matter...  why does this archway here *tapping the orange stones* have colored stonework as opposed to the rest of the place..."</strong><br/><br/>Pondering the nature of the hallway and the arches, he snapped his finger with an inspired thought.  Calling down the hallway again, he presented his train of thought.<br/><br/><strong>"Say, does anyone think it might be good idea to try casting a Knock spell upon this archway, maybe the nature of 'stealing items' is a security lock, and if the portal was opened magically, it would not have that detrimental effect?"</strong><br/><br/>Feeling optimistic, he flexed his fingers and prepared himself to cast the spell, if the others assented to the proposal.<br/><br/><em>(OOC- I am still confused about the map in some respects, help me out here?  </em><br/><br/>(http://a.imageshack.us/img405/4729/clipboard01tc.png)<br/><em><br/>Also where exactly on the map did the gargoyle srping from and return to?   I'm hoping to understand a bit better how the naked girls got back from the pink area, cause it's not been clear to me where they returned to once they came back.)</em>
