"I'm going through the black door. Does anyone want to try to read my book?" Asbes asks, heading through the black door as he said.

Name: Asbes Elman
Gender: Male
Weapon of Choice: Martial Arts
Short description of your appearance: Young-looking and thin, with light brown hair, pale skin and blue eyes. He usually looks meek and calm, sometimes acting like a dog who has been kicked around too much. He wears thick mage robes colored white and light blue; with some effort it is possible to see stitch marks in one of the extra cloaks, as if the damaged clothing has been carefully maintained for several years already. The rest of the clothing, though, seems recently-obtained or sewn.

Follow Asbes through the black door, then examine the new room.

(2) As you go through the black door you see a hexagonal room... and the door closes behind you! "YE WHO HAST CHOSEN THIS FATE. FAMINE SHALL AWAIT YOU! CHOSE ONE DOOR!"

"You guys get the books. I'm going to look at those pictures. If I get killed, stay away from the red door."
Go for the red horse's door. Take Asbes book, if he doesn't mind.

(3) You enter the red horse's door and the door closes behind you! The room is rectangular and a lone door is at the end of it. "YE WHO HAST CHOSEN THIS FATE. WAR AWAITS YOU!"

"I'm not really sure about all these colors and such, but all the riders are bad, so we might as well take our chances, one at each door, and a couple to back up those of us that get stung, eh?"

Gently nudge/kick the pale rider's door open, be ready to fall back and stab anything that comes out with my voulge.

Short description of your appearance:  Vara is an elf of slender form.  Her long white hair is held back by a silver headband and reaches halfway down her back.  She seems easy of temperament and lax in discipline.  She is wearing green and purple armor of leather with a gleaming blue gem embedded between her breasts and a second embedded at the same height on the small of her back.  The chest and shoulder pieces are a dark purple while everything else is a dark green.  Her skin is pale and flawless.

(1) The door is locked by very strong magic.

"Hey, if no-one's taking the other book, I'll take it. Also, I'm sure Red would be War, Black might be Plague, and White might be Famine."

Search For the Other book, and try to open the White door.

Short description of your appearance: A Demonkin by birth, Arnok is a 19-year old boy, who was in need of quick cash. He thought he could find it here.
He has slick Black hair, red skin, a pair of small horns, and wears black clothes, except for the elegant red cape. Red has never been so Red before.

(4) You open the door and see a rectangular room.

"The riders of the end, or perhaps just a symbolism alluding to what we will be facing deeper, hmm? Nothing can awaken the riders unless the world is bereft of hope."

Tala moved over to Vara's side, tapping her on the shoulder while greeting her with one of her signature smiles.

"Tala Aquilon, traveling scholar at your service, Vara!" she leaned nearer to her to whisper: "_{I'm glad you aren't one of the more greedy of us.}" she said, pointing at the other men, minus Asbes and probably one of the others who she didn't know.

"Glad to see someone I can confide in." she finished with a wink.

Noticing everyone was going for each door, she decided the best way to act was to examine the horses. The items above each, and the rooms when the doors are open from her position.

Examine the room more! Including the doors and ceiling! The rune, included.

Description of your appearance: Standing at the height of 5'3", Tala is a young woman with a tanned complexion and a lean body, lithe in appearance and seemingly built for flexibility and movement. She has long black hair, falling to her shoulders and dark brown eyes. A brown curved symbol, somehow resembling a fork, lies under her left eye crossing over the cheekbone.

(4) The runes are in a strange language that you can't understand and the ceiling seems to shift every once a while. The four horses have no riders but the weapons are flying above them as if held by a professional manner.

"So~" Tala said, seeing the disappearance of the other three, "One way left, other two are having fun, and the last is locked by high magic."

She pointed to the door, and looked at Arnok.

"Men first."

 

Anyway, THRU THE WHITE DOOR, SLOWLY! Examine room for traps, then ceiling, then floor. Then walls!

"Well, that was fruitful.". Vara says kicking the door harder with her foot repeatedly in frustration.  She sighs disappointed.  "Which one of you schlubs needs my help?" Vara yells, trying to decide where to go.

[Greenstarfanatic]

"Well, that leaves this as...plague. Cover your mouth and nose."

Use my cloak as a shield for my mouth and nose in case of poisonous gas traps. Enter the room and search for a book.

(5) Entering the room you see a black book pinned at the wall. The door closes behind you. "YE WHO HAST CHOSEN THIS FATE. PESTILENCE SHALL AWAIT YOU! CHOSE ONE DOOR!"

The room seems to be cleaned than the one you were before. It isn't full of dust or spider-webs. The runes look rather good in here and not so suppressing. On the ceiling there is a crown and a bow engraved.

"Pestilence is disease of any sort. As we're not gagging and sprawling on the floor currently, it isn't airborne. I'll try opening the door by Gust."

Trip Arnok and Tala both holding them both on the ground.. "I'm not dying because you don't want to figure this room out like a normal person. You'll end up releasing some disease that eats my skin away.  Try it again and I'll cut right through you both." examine the crown and bow on the ceiling for clues.

"I have a bad feeling about this... well, whatever. Those that don't consider themselves already dead shouldn't have ever entered this dungeon. Shouldn't split the party right now, though - if we did, high chance of one person encountering nasties. By going together, the nasties will be easier to dispatch. I hope."

Follow Asbes whereever he goes.

"I already consider myself dead." Asbes answered nonchalantly, with a tinge of sadness in his voice. "I came here to help other people in this dangerous place while I still live. Seemed like a good way to die for me."

He stares at the door for a while before shrugging. "I don't have high hopes of getting to the bottom of the library, but I'll try it anyway until I help you get there."

[Spinal_Taper]

Asmodeus rolls his eyes at the halls proclaimation.
