"Woah! Would you look at that. That door is huge!"
Your path is blocked by a large, highly decorated and inscribed door. Jon looks over the decoration, and scoffs when he finds no gold or silver leaf to the engravings. They are merely stone.
<span class="mu-b">"Do you know what this says, Nasir?"</span>
"It seems to be a story, but without a conclusion? No- it poses a question."
<span class="mu-b">"This is a puzzle door."</span>
Jon seems to know what that is better then Nasir did, which surprised everyone. It's a type of complex lock- in which a specific item or slot must be filled in order for a door to open. Jon explains that some very rich and wealthy people will carry strange items; necklaces made into the shape of leaves or animals, smudged rings made of lead, miniature versions of hammers and swords- they won't be stolen by pickpockets, but can be fit into a slot to open locked doors or passages.
<span class="mu-b">"There seem to be several stone tablets here- one of them is probably the right one. There's probably even a trap if we put in the wrong one."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"We better be sure we get the right one, then. Nasir, what does the door say? Is there a clue?"</span>
"Ahem. Let me read it out loud..."
<span class="mu-i">There was once a pregnant woman with four lovely children.
The oldest was Hannah.
The second-oldest was Joshua.
The second-youngest was Luke.
And the youngest was Brittany.
One day, a group of orcs attacked, slaughtering one with spear, another with axe, and a third trapped inside a burning building. The mother, in a desperate bid to save her last remaining child, ran, but both her and her last child were killed with an arrow.
Which child died last?</span>
>Hannah
>Joshua
>Luke
>Brittany
