Originally it was designed to break even if a character does nothing or use a consumable or does something else other than swinging it at the enemy. I can see how it is now, and I have changed the description to "1/6 chance to break when used" so that it is more consistent with other breakable weapons/artefacts.

El-Alquist steps forward, "Formalities and rhetorical statements don't buy you time. I designed these magical doors and they scan each and everyone of you when you step through those doors. Interestingly, most of you here have some sort of protection that I couldn't figure out what, especially on that Fenarian." Pointing to Naîm. "This is disconcerting, especially when it feels... how should I word it, powerful on a Fenarian." Turning back to Kiray, "We definitely knew you were coming and we don't normally expect first timers to get these doors right. Then again, they never attempt the second time. I don't know why, perhaps they are not alive or well to be doing that?" the elf shrugs. "It is true. We constantly change the exits and entrances. We would like the ones who are keen to exercise to have a little bit of muscle and breathing time, but they usually end up in our room, all the time. I should say." "Dwarves... shouldn't you be underground, or something? Like your Fenarian friends?" No worries, get well soon! Eladio-Vuentei points to Naîm, "Saying something back there? I would like to know." "If you are thinking of backstabbing us, you can shred that thought right now. Or you can tell us why you are here, doesn't matter anyway." the elf shrugs again.

Loot from the Anniversary Lottery added to the pile! Congrats! The fourth door creaks open and there lies a brick wall behind, before realising that they have chosen the wrong door, the brick wall starts to swirl loudly around its sides and dissolves into a portal. The Heroes could see that the portal opens into another room in the prison, in there lies four different elves wearing different pieces of armour, and a guard at the corner of the room. In the middle of the room lies a huge map of Spesialia and on it what seems to be tokens on different parts of continent. Bain grabs Miderun by the shoulder and pulls her back, "Not good. That is." Bain pauses, as her tone becomes more intense, "The Quarters." Before the Heroes could silently back out, close the door and choose another path, the entrance door behind them swings open, this time a Star Elf Berserker walks through, pulling Germ by the leg through into the chamber. He drops Germ by the door and hails at the top of his voice, kicking his unconscious body towards the party and hefting his hammer at the party. Elnath quickly helps Germ up and finds him still alive (1 health). "Major Eladio-Vuentei! Major El-Alquist! INTRUDERS!!" the sound of which catches the attention of the elves across the portal, who proceed to take an interest in the commotion outside. One of them, in full battle gear, turns around and marches towards the party, the sound of each step echoes through the walls, and hands his chalice of elvish wine to one of the others, who followed behind. He stops in front of the party and scrutinises everyone in the party, finally turns to the Star Elf Berserker, "Worthy of praise, as usual, hand picked by General Oswain." The Star Elf Berserker remains emotionless, and remains in battle stance, "Orders!" The elf in the battle suit waves him off, and signals the other elf holding the broomstick, "El-Alquist, join me." "I am impressed. This place hasn't been breeched for more than a thousand years, and it seems like the Fenarians are behind it." Eye piercingly directed at Bain and Naîm, "But foolish nevertheless, I would have imagined Fenarians doing better than hire a bunch of stiff backed pirates and children, for whatever purpose?" Palms out facing the Heroes and extending sidewards, "Welcome. To General Oswain's Penitentiary in the City of Valhullu. I am Major Eladio-Vuentei, the warden of this place. I apologise but we do not offer travellers tours within our historic landmarks." What will the party do?

QM Note: Hint: Checking the door for traps does not help to solve the puzzle in any way. Checking for traps just means your PC won't die/injure opening the door, which isn't the purpose of this. The purpose is to find the right door that leads to the penitentiary, if that helps. "Darn Star Elves..." Bain mutters, as she checks the door behind them again, this time sounding more anxious when she closes the door, "Heroes, made up your mind yet? We don't have all night..." Mhinak uses Elnath's magnifying glass and did not find any traps on the door.

"Certainly a lot of history and infallible beings to reckon with. But out of curiosity, what are the names of the three witches?" Extending her hand to Natasha, "I look forward to that trip, it is my pleasure to be acquainted with someone free spirited like yourself." With that Purpearl nods kindly at the guests in the Hall, in particular Vipera and heads to the Hallway.

Bobby does a thorough examination on the second door and finds an inscription underneath the keyhole. It reads <You do not want to open this door.> QM Note: Congratulations! you have uncovered the four different inscriptions, I can now reveal the next part: Two of those statements are true and two of them are false. Good luck. Elnath scratches his chin,as the Heroes report their findings to each other, "Time to crack out brains, shall we?"

Mhinak carefully inspects the third door (from the left) with the magnifying glass and could not find any traps. As he looks closer, Mhinak notices another inscription underneath the keyhole. It reads <This door is trapped.> Kiray could not see any traps without a magnifying glass, but as she checks the last door (from the left), Kiray notices another inscription underneath the keyhole. It reads <The inscription on the first door (from the left) is false.>

<EEk! That is beyond me!> Elnath hands Mhinak his magnifying glass, "No harm doing so, but I can see those inscriptions pretty clearly without any magnifying glass."

You will know when the time comes. <Eek! Sure Master Mhinak!> Inki approaches the doors one by one with its nose on the stone surface and prowls up and down, thru and forth the doors. Finally returns to Mhinak, <There are foot tracks everywhere! I cannot determine which door is the right door! Sorry! I did my best!> "We are all into this. There is one on the door on the far left, I suppose I wouldn't know if I just stood around pointing fingers, agree Master Naîm?"

"Interesting. Are there any theories as to how these civilisations spread all over Olegaia without them knowing about one another?" "Heweyrt, I am certain his words are his best assets." Glancing at Hoke, "I would love a visit to Vartland sometime. Dastan is a first for me and all that is to come will be as well. But I agree with you, and I am certain you have met a wide assortment of people out there, some out there that I have met just don't get the purpose of it all, leaning to short term gains at the expense of others instead of long term mutual benefits. Merely impossible for a knight like myself to instil even a tiny strand of sense into them" says Purpearl, in a light and relaxed tone, shaking her head at the same time.

Round 6 of Where are the others? >Germ vs Star Elf Berserker A - Bersek (Germ: KO'd) As Germ continues to keep his distance, the star elf guard, fed up with his antics, went berserk and undercuts Germ with his hammer. The hammer crushes Germ's face and knocks him dizzy. Things went hazy after and he collapses, after a while, Germ could feel his body moving coarsely against rocky surfaces as the guard drags him by the legs into the prison. "Let's see what Major Eladio-Vuentei and Major El-Alquist have to say about you." Germ could not bear keeping his eyes open for another second and passes out. Note: Unfortunately, there is nothing much for you to do at this point until you are reunited with your party. You will know when to rejoin the party. The Other Party The Demon Germ (Samuraiturtle) ??? years old Male Half Demon Rogue Level 10.5 *Immune to Darkness**KO'd* Power: 15 (10+5) Defense: 1 Health: 0/16 (7+9) Ether: 0 Gold: 128 Equipped: Sanctified Rito Gypsy Dart (WP:5, doubled against Flying enemies; throwing weapon), Shadow Cloak (SP:1, immune to Darkness; backwear, suitable for anyone) Inventory: Weapons: Wrench (WP:3, decreases the target’s level by 1; throwing weapon), Throwing Knife (WP:3), Shuriken (WP:5), Charred Longsword (WP:10 1/6 chance of breaking at the end of every round, if equipped, longsword) Gear / Armor: Red Shield (SP: 8) Gems / Scrolls: - Consumables: Potion, Level-Up Mushroom, Phoenix Essence, Floral Bomb, Bone, Deadly Venom, 3 Remedy, Venom, Noxious Venom Tools: Bedroll, Shovel, Pickaxe, Magnifying Glass Others: Gold Ring (worth 15 gold, or can be given to someone else to make them Enamored with the giver) Decmon Cards: Will-o'-Wisp (Fiery 1) ; Carrion Squirrel (Dark 1) ; Glow Worm (Luminous 1) The party prepares for the worst as one by one, leaps through the stone wall. The Heroes find themselves standing in a long rectangular room, in front of four identical handle-less doors, at set intervals, interspaced with reinforced stone walls. Elnath turns around to see where they have come from, and realises that there is another door behind where they had come from. Signalling to Bain, Bain turns around as well and slowly opens the door behind them to the other side. Without much hesitation, Bain quickly shuts it tight. "It appears we have no way back to where we came from. The door behind us opens into the courtyard and there are more guards outside than you can imagine. There seems to be a commotion outside. Going forward seems like our only option now." Bain frowns, "It appears that there are more than one door here compared to the map that I have here. But I am certain one of them leads to the penitentiary." "That means the other three must be traps or some sort. We have to be careful not to open the wrong door." Elnath walks stealthily to the first door on the left and inspects the door. It appears to have some sort of inscription written underneath the keyhole. "The inscription reads, <This door is not a trap>." "How convincing."

Purpearl blushes as she looks at Vipera, "Only a dragoon can have that bond I guess, what does a mere mystic knight know?" Turning to Natasha, pretending she had no previous encounter with the Nords."Did you say you're from Värtland, The land of the Nords?"

"Sounds very much like The Trial of the Three Circles that the orcs invoke to challenge leadership. Fortunately or unfortunately I was on the side of the challenger. And from the manner Sven commands the crowd, I suppose the Emperor has already found his champion? As a precaution?" As Purpearl mingles into the crowd in the Hall, she was pleasantly surprised that the dragon could communicate with her, more so insert thoughts into her mind. Purpearl knows no dragon tongue but attempts to communicate with Vipera. Looking at Vipera, " Vipera, a free soul are you not?"

No cocktail please. Bain slaps Kiray hand, "No triple or double dipping. One each." "I can safely say your demon friend is being suicidal to go off on his own, without knowing the lay of the land. Even I, have to be cautious. These scorned elves are constantly changing things around, relocating their watchtowers, expanding their borders. Even this cursed prison, they must have enchanted it recently. We can all pray to higher powers and hope they can somehow steer us away from dangers, but with a thousand odd years underground, these hopes are dwindling. If there are higher powers out there, they must have left us to our own demise, or perhaps the gods despise our kind and condemn us to eternal darkness. So, do we simply sit around and plead for the gods for divine interception and forgiveness or do we sink our feet into the ground and do what is necessary for our survival?"

Watching Hoke's dragon, Torc, breathing smoke at Vipera and Arthur's Miirym. "Sometimes, I wonder how is it like to be communicating with dragons, telepathy? or mutual understanding?"

Random.org seems to suggest otherwise Round 2 of Where are the others? >Germ vs Star Elf Berserker A - Critical Hit (Berserker: 300+5 - (3x2+10=16dmg) = 289 health) Round 3 of Where are the others? >Germ vs Star Elf Berserker A - Hide Round 4 of Where are the others? >Germ vs Star Elf Berserker A - Mug (Berserker: 289+5 - (5x3+10=25dmg) = 269 health) Round 5 of Where are the others? >Germ vs Star Elf Berserker A - Hit (Berserker: 269+5 - (5+10=15dmg) = 259 health) Maintaining his distance from the Guard, Germ manages to deal some damage.

That's good to hear." Elnath nods nervously. "Shall we go in together?" "Strength in numbers right?" Bain tries to console herself. "Many said to Eckmar and I going to the surface to gather rations and supplies is suicidal, others said crossing into the Star Elven border is equivalent to sealing your death date, even you said saving Eckmar is suicidal. I mean, what does suicidal even mean anymore? I am still standing here." Bain shrugs, "I have done many things and I am still alive." Weighing her sack full of supplies, "But you are right Naîm, going in is certainly suicidal without any sort of plan or preparation." Bain opens her sack and grabs a couple of vials and drinks a Nostrum before tossing one to Kiray as well, "Before we go in together, each of you pick one and drink up." "I am fine. I have my own." Elnath drinks a Grand Tonic. Mead (Causes the encouraged-effect, doubling the target's attack power for the duration of one battle.) Smelling Salts (Causes the hastened-effect, allowing the target to act twice in one round for the duration of one battle.)

He even attempts to equip it, which he fails. "What do you think it will help us with?" Mhinak approaches the "magic door" with no dramas and uses the magnifying glass on it. Carefully checking every corner and inch of it, the "magic door" appears like a normal reinforced brick wall with no sign of traps. "Naîm, since you seem fearless, perhaps you could do a bit of a leap of faith?" Tilting her head towards the "magic door".

Note: Just a heads up, if Germ decides to engage in battle, fleeing will not be an option. The guard did not seem to care, then slams his hammer on his shield. His eyes focused intensely at Germ, looking determined to fight to the death. "YARGH!!!" The guard yells, looking intimidating. Star Elf Berserker A Type: Humanoid Level: ?? SP: 5 Health: 300/300 Special: Bersek: Deals 80 damage to attacker Drops: Spesialian Helmet (SP: 2, SP: 4 if wearer's Star Elf, Health +2, Power +2, Suitable for anyone; headwear) Note: Star Elf Berserker’s level = Hero x 2.5

"From what I have briefly observed that human has certain influence over the protestors. What happens if he calls for it? Does that mean the people of Dastan gets to choose their leader?"

Risking it, Bain steps out of hiding and approaches that specific slab of wall and then immediately retreats back into the dark. Nothing happens. "I am sure they could not see me from there, but if they could, it would have been a different situation." Elnath appears to be hesitant, and takes out his magnifying glass, "Whoever wants to have a go can borrow it." The guard remains emotionless, and seems to ignore most of what Germ's saying, "LEAVE OR ELSE!" The guard commands again pointing his hammer westwards, in the general direction away from the prison.

After Purpearl snacks on the feast, she approaches and bows at the Emperor, "Emperor Severus Septrine, it is an honour. I am Purpearl Berthadhiell, Mystic Knight. If you don't mind me being rude, are you aware of our little adventure just outside the palace? Luckily the Princess came out unscathed."

Naîm heals himself, Bobby, Mhinak, El Nath, Bain and Inki. (-6 ether) and then drinks a tonic to refresh himself. The party splits again! Elnath shakes his head as he strokes his moustache, "Not wise at all, all alone in a foreign land." "Pfft. Surprise me." Sounding sarcastic. This time Germ heading off on his own and the rest together as another. Miderun leads the party (less Germ) around the prison to avoid detection to the East. As they hide amongst the ruins in the darkness, the Heroes realise that the Eastern wall is patrolled by a guard, familiar to some, and unfamiliar to others. The guard patrols thru and forth the Eastern wall, remaining alert. "He was never here before... curse it... we all know who to blame." whispers Bain, glancing sideways at Mhinak. "Another plan perhaps?" Elnath whispers to the party, But before the party could make a decision, the guard stops, turns and walks towards the wall, Walking through the wall, the guard disappears from sight. "What kind of sick magic of a place is this? Are you all seeing what I am seeing? Or am I seeing things?" whispers Bain, sounding very surprised at the sight.

Purpearl exchanges Aventine's Tricorne for Dastan Helmet, and stays close to Ella and U'Voros, "Do you know that man?" Purpearl queries, not feeling too good about the bald man in armour.

Samuraiturtle, please post in-character, Germ's final decision.

You need to specify which of the three patrols you intend Germ to intercept.
