Unless anything you just described stops the Duke from doing what he intend he will still do that.

And as the water was flowing uphill towards the building is the water actually coming out of the fountain or going in?

I was quite sure the water was doing all kinds of unnatural stuff. But if its just behaving as expected there there is no problem at all roght.

Ah yes the people everyone seem to hate right now.

Boss my destructive gloves are no match for the door?

Ah yes the people everyone seem to hate right now.

"Those doors seem to close when these are opened.
Perhaps they open when these are closed?" she suggested to The Duke, "Perhaps you might step inside the Hallway, and tell me what happens when I close this door?"

There is a new doorway on the opposite wall from the entrance, with about three steps upward  to it.

Through yonder door.

Perhaps it is the entrance to said hallway of which Juniper speaks.
So The Lady casually glides over towards it, testing to see if it will open for her.

The doorway in question does in fact lead to a long hallway, about 40 yards or so. Its ceiling, too, lights up when one enters it.

At the far end is another doorway, open.

The ... door starts closing at the far end right away-- and it's two feet thick, of a very, very sturdy metal

So, The Lady is thinking that as this (fountain room) door is closed, the other opens.  And when this door is opened, the car one closes.

The duke will.violate the door even thoigh it has no effect and will do what the lady says.

Almost back home

Please remind me what this is; I have a slight memory of it.
And how?

Prophecy:
If only they would listen to you! It would all make sense, given time.

Declare another character to share your secrets with, and roll Scary/Weird.

7+: Prophecy
After that player makes a roll, they may ask you (The Duke's player, not The Duke) if they can use that thing you said now. If you say yes, that player rolls one die and may substitute the result for a die roll in their last roll. ("Oh, this is what you were talking about!")

If you say no, the prophecy can always be used later instead.

If they choose NOT to substitute the new die result for one of their last die results, the prophecy potential is used up anyway.

No player can have more than 1 prophecy at a time waiting to be used.

The Duke grumbles a sound of disgruntled approval. Most likely just because the Duke had no better idea on his own. When he steps onto the grass he starts to speak his tone of voice not entirely his own.

"This land cherishes the lady luck. A long forgotten thing that wants to connect with the land for it like her is of a time long past."

And then as if he had not said a word points at one of the jellyflies.

"Think we can eat those?"

ooc: The Lady has been prophetised. On a roll made she can ask me if this is what the Duke talked about. If yes, roll another dice and choose which two you want to use.  If no it can be used later.

Using it in this place has the biggest chance of a yes.

And a success again. I never gain xp with rolls like this.
