[Phantom of The Library]

A gargoyle sits before you. 


░░░░░m░


Made of smoothly chiseled granite, it bears a pitiful face that bespeaks constant pain even though it is but mute stone.


░n░░░░o░░░░n░░░░░i░


Both of its hands are held up before it, as if it is begging forgiveness.  Either hand holds a different object.


░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░


The left hand holds a blue crystal with many facets.

The right holds a smooth, red, crystal orb.



A single word, more feeling than voice, enters your mind:




"CHOOSE"

[javierpwn]

Blue orb with facets

[Dermonster]

Pick up both, grind them into a powder, and inhale through the nose.

[HailFire]

Don sunglasses, punch gargoyle in face.

[Phantom of The Library]

Blue orb with facets

Pick up both, grind them into a powder, and inhale through the nose.

You contemplate the idea of grabbing both and smooshing them together or sticking them up your nose or something.  However this line of thought is interrupted.


"YOU MAY ONLY CHOOSE ONE"

Don sunglasses, punch gargoyle in face.

Why would you punch a rock statue?  That would hurt you more than it!

You shake these silly ideas out of you head.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Hmmm...

Blue for consistency

[GreatWyrmGold]

Touch them both at once!
Barring that, blue.

[SomeStupidGuy]

Blue looks nicer than red. So, blue.

[Xantalos]

Touch them both at once!
Barring that, blue.

Name the stones 'One' and 'One'
Choose them both

[Lillipad]

I vote blue, because red is boring.

You attempt to grab both of the crystals at once.  You hand however touches the blue one a fraction of a second before the red.  Immediately, the gargoyle springs to life and lets out a screech, jamming the blue crystal into its stomach. Cracks spread out from the point of impact until they cover the statue's entire body. 

There is a sound much like a sigh and the entire statue crumbles into dust. 



There are a few moments of silence, but only a few.  Then there comes a small rumble from off to your left.  You turn to look.



A new gargoyle sits there. 

This one sneers at you.  A leering grin peers out from underneath heavy eyebrows, and its smooth, featureless eyes seem to follow your movements.

░h░░░░░░░░░░░░░e░

Its arms are outstretched, as if beckoning.  Either hand holds an object.

░░░░░░░i░░

In its left hand it holds and ankh.

In its right it holds an arrow.




"CHOOSE"

[SomeStupidGuy]

Ankh.

[jaass]

Ankh

[Hubris Incalculable]

Ankh.

[Lillipad]

Arrow.
