Gareth waits for someone to return...meditating to recover his energy while he does so.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 222):

the hall beyond the door is dark and carpeted... what light source did you take?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 223):

Gareth had continual light, cast on the end of his Jo, from memory. But he is still in the room waiting to hear back from those who pass through.

He continues to ask them questions as he rests. He asks them both

"Am I male?"

On entering Amelia says, "Hey, it's dark in here. Anyone got a light?"

======
OOC: I have a vague recollection that Ameila previously was holding a light so that others could do things she couldn't do so well e.g. fight. Anyone knwo for sure?

What have you for me to light up?

"This coin?"

He casts on it, and Light appears about torch bright

"Thank you, Mr Adept," Amelia says with a curtsie and then continues to go boldly where no Gareth has gone before. For some reason she wants to impress him.

He steps up behind her, ready to step in front if need be, great sword over his shoulder.

Amelia holds the coin between two fingers of her haft hand and grips her cheap broadsword in her other hand. She advances warily, listening and looking..

"Which way is the <grunt> Master's library?" Safwan asks the two armored fellows.

In reply to Safwan (msg # 232):

That way!
That way!
They each point to a different door...
Gareth asks the two knights a number of questions, about their genders and his status as a human, but they respond with confused retorts about Certain Death Awaits! and that One is a Truth teller  and the other a Liar...

Haveron steps through the same door as Amelia, and Shroud is already on the other side

Lizard Chuckles... I sssshould have Ssssurmisssed asss much.

Amelia keeps to the righthand side of the carpet.

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 235):

for those outside the doors

Safwan, Gareth- don't split the party

for those within: Berry, Var, Shroud, Haveron, and the Adept, let's hear from one of them

Squeak !

I try to take the lead from Amelia, so she isn't so vulnerable.

Amelia is happy for that; she doesn't consider herself to be a leader.

Will join them when he hears back that they are safe...

In the mean time, he does wait to hear back from the knights which door the other knight would say leads to the library.

Berry will follow after Yisslitheniss and Amelia since she hasn't heard the sounds of horrible death. She assumes there would be more screaming in the case of horrible deaths.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 239):

It seems that their programming has failed. Or that neither really knows the answer. Perhaps there is danger behind both doors, or perhaps there is nothing to worry about.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 239):

"Beyond this Door is Certain Death@"
"Beyond The other door is Certain Death!"


you supect that they have never been to the library... make a Thaumatology roll

In reply to Armored Hulk (msg # 242):

Gareth suspects that he broke the programming!

In reply to Gareth (msg # 243):

if these are created beings like Safwan, then they toocannot pass a pentagram.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 244):

Have I seen any pentagrams here?

In reply to Gareth (msg # 245):

no you have not,but Safwan has described one blocking the path to the library
