The hunt for goldenfire (Afina and Jaela, later Surraruthru too)

[Corwin]

"No orange," Jaela agrees. "Maybe we can follow the same path north for now?"

[Anastasia]

Everyone follows along without incident. Kascha's looking around, "If this works, I wonder if it's intended or an oversight?"

[Ebiris]

"Or we can go South from the starting room and see if Yellow's an option there," Afina suggests. "Forcing us to double back to find the correct solution's the sort of thing you'd expect in a riddle isn't it?"

[Anastasia]

"I say we keep going north," Kascha hms, "Red again. If there's another red door past that, that means we've managed to do something expected or break the puzzle."

Mirajane looks around, then murmurs, "Don't go east," she speaks up.

[Corwin]

"How about we also mark the rooms we go through?" Jaela suggests. "Something on the ground, to see if the rooms loop at some point."

[Ebiris]

"Alright, we'll try it Kascha's way," Afina says, nodding to Mirajane's warning and going to put her red token in the North wall.

[Corwin]

Jaela uses Gae Trocaire to mark an arrow on the ground in their direction in the middle of the room.

[Anastasia]

Another hallway appears. Ahead is a room with only one door to the north, a red one.

[Ebiris]

"Good instincts, Kascha!" Afina compliments, repeating her trick to let everyone through so they can open this new door.

[Corwin]

"Puzzle broken!"

[Anastasia]

Arrel looks around, "How tricky. I wonder if a hoard is hidden behind all this?"

Meanwhile, Kascha merely smiles, "No, I think it's the fact you grasped the workaround right away."

[Ebiris]

Afina goes to open the only door left!

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hoard! I need a hoard. How many hoards should I have? Three? What do you think are behind the other doors? Will the same trick work?"

[Corwin]

"Why would you ever have more than the one?" Jaela wonders, before glancing over at Kascha. "Is this a thing?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"But.. But what if some nasty adventurer steals your hoard? Why wouldn't you want a back up hoard?"
