It helps to have a Trickster with us, because entertainers are extremely good at robbing peoples's homes. I am glad we don't have a lousy Thief with us instead.We take a stair down and reach the Lady in Grey's appartment. Since they are underground and there is no window, I guess she was WIS 3, as well, since she didn't consider being there during the day.We arrive in a rich underground place decorated with carvings of people summoning demons. We're disgusted by these unholy illustrations. Esmeralda probably should be taking notes on the rituals instead of being disgusted... there are multiple spells that we've seen being cast and don't know... She apparently rolled badly on the Find Familiar table since we're seeing a slimey toad demon in the middle of the corridor. We're offered to attack it or talk with him, and since it generally pays to talk (we did it with Echidna, we won't stop now...), let's listen.He (or is it "It"?) feels her mistress is dead, and regrets still being bound by her spells to remain on this plane of existence. He's willing to tell us which door leads to the LiG's loot, if we answer a riddle:Sharper than steel,Softer than doth,Color of emeralds,Yet a thing with no value. The book tells us to write down our answer on a piece of paper before turning to see the answer in section 171, or we can still attack the familiar right away. I love the care taken to ask players to write down the answer so they can't cheat saying they had the right answer... of course they can still cheat but they'll be left with an accusatory note written with the wrong answer burdening their soul.Anyways, i'll take suggestions on the answer. Note that it doesn't help that I don't know what a doth is.</blockquote>
