"... Damn. Nobody has ever solved that one that fast. You are correct." "It is quite possible. I will let you all confer with each other and one of you may tell me."

"Wonderful. Let us begin." He then steps behind the bloody altar and says: "You have eight gold coins, each one has Azazot on it. These coins are used to gain access to this sanctum. But, one is counterfeit. To tell who is does have access and does not, we weigh the coins. To tell the counterfeit one, it is slightly heavier. Which one is the counterfeit on this balance scale, but you can only use the scale twice." "Next, there are three boxes. One is labeled Mead. The second one is labeled Phoenix Essence. The third one is labeled both. But, all of the labels are wrong. But Azazot will help you and allow you to reach into one box and see what is inside. Which box shall you reach into?" "Answer these correctly, and I will tell you the final riddle."

The priest lets out a sigh at Hoke's comment. He clearly wants to say something but wisely doesn't. Then he turns to Torald. "If you can do them, you can. If not, then you're not worthy of Azazot. Are you all ready?"

"I still don't hold much sway, but I'll put in a good word for you. You seem like a good fit for us."

"We're working to bring some changes to Eubric. The criminal stuff I guess was sort of a means to an end. I've interacted with some... not so savory ones. But the others, they are good people at heart. Really good."

Stay safe, CMP!

"We're not so bad, my friend." The priest straightens up. "To be fair, you do not have to participate. If you like, you can wait outside. As for the others,it seems only one of you has the desire to become a disciple. But all who enter this threshhold must pass a test to see if they are worthy of Azazot." "Is it eat a frog?" The priest lets out a deep belly laugh. "No, no, my young friend. It's only a few riddles. Then you can begin your way to become a disciple." Simon looks to Hoke. "You're sure you don't want to do this?" He then looks at the others. "What about you guys? Riddles don't seem that bad. It's not like he's asking us to kill someone."

"Where'd you hear that from?" she wispers back. "Yeah, there's been a few shake-ups, we've been doing better. Could always use more members, if you're interested."

"Maybe we should all drink nostrums or something," she muses.

"Finally," she mutters to herself as she puts her crossbow away. "Anyone else think that was a strange battle?"

Still frustrated, Kiray repeats. "These cows are really starting to get on my nerves."

Ah, ok. I'm assuming it says over in the LDD subforum how to do that. I'll certainly have to try that out. And great work with that new preview!

"Who was it if I may ask?" "Wait, I wanna see what the others say."

"See, that is exactly the problem. You're not giving me a chance. There is no problem with being a disciple of Azazot."

"What's so funny?" Torald finds there are no threats. "Why yes. Is that a problem?"

Simon leads the party inside, only to find the place seems to be empty. There's a table with some blood dripping on the ground. And then, out from the shadows steps... "Oh, visitors. Or perhaps new disciples of Azazot?" a hooded priest says, the sound of his wooden pegleg echoing off along the stone.

Kiray attacks Mad Cow C.

Quintessa hears no audible noises coming from past the door. Perhaps people are all sitting quietly, perhspas no one is in there. "Uh... It's Simon. I think Torald has a good idea, of knocking." Simon then goes up tot he door and knocks. No answer from within. "Should we go inside? Should I lead the way?"

"What is going on with me?"Kiray repeats again, growing more and more frustrated.

Kiray repeats as well.

"I think she is worth it." He casts his eyes down after Hoke's lecture, but brngs them back up. "I can do it. I want to feel like I earned this too." "Well then off we go." The hooded man leads the party out of the sewers and back up top, where it was still dark out. "It's not too far from here." Well, he lied. It was a good hike from the sewers, but they made it. "This is as far as I go. The rest is up to you."

Kiray repeats.

Update will be when Brickshelf stop acting stupid. Sorry guys.

Kiray repeats.

Very nice, Flipz. Are you using LDD into Bluerender and then another program? Or LDD to Blender or something? I think the lamps could have a little more glow to them, though.
