A New Beginning

[Anastasia]

There are many swinging, scything blades within the wall, armed and ready to lash out.

[Yuthirin]

'Hm. Blade traps. How delightful.' Tryll says, grabbing onto the wires with telekinesis and pulling them apart.

[Anastasia]

Easily enough done as...

Perception.

[Anastasia]

Tryll can hear footsteps back the way you came.

[Yuthirin]

'We have incoming from upstairs.'

[Anastasia]

"Unfortunate," Ebony murmurs, "If you can handle ahead alone, I can handle what comes this way."

[Yuthirin]

'Ever splitting the party. Very well.' Tryll and Calleigh head forward.

"Give a shout if you need help!"

[Anastasia]

Thus the two of you fly ahead. Ahead are two statues flanking a door deeper past it. It is of two women, nude and crudely carved. Yet your magic enhanced eyes can see a shimmering, invisible wall of force between the statues, blocking the way ahead.

"Halt."

"Halt."

Two voices come from the statues, each one speaking in the tones of an older woman.

"To pass, answer our riddles four."

"To pass, answer our riddles four."

[Yuthirin]

"What? Really?" Calleigh asks. "Do we have time for this!?"

[Anastasia]

The statues continue on.

"I start with an E, end with an E and yet only contain one letter. What am I?"

"I start with an E, end with an E and yet only contain one letter. What am I?"

[Yuthirin]

"An eye, because it's also I. Duh!" Calleigh says. "He could be getting away!"

[Anastasia]

"Wrong."

"Wrong."

From both gouts of acid fly, spraying everything ahead.

Is Calleigh incorporeal right now?

[Yuthirin]

Never changed back, so yes.

[Anastasia]

Fortunately, being ghostly, the acid harms neither Calleigh nor Tryll. It hisses something fierce on the ground, though.
