[QUOTE="grufflehead, post: 5203776, member: 35977"] [sblock=OOC]Seems a trifle unlikely that the key is going to be lying around for us to find, but just to confirm: someone has looked in the pool and the bowl and seen nothing? A second (good) look will tick them off as suspects. There were no other notable places described apart from the pillars themselves, so short of a fingertip search for secret compartments, I'm thinking there's something more here. The presence of the ladle intrigues me. I assume the bowl could have been filled directly with water, and not the way Keepiru did it first time, ergo the ladle has a purpose. It may be just to dish out water, but the water from the bowl seems to have made the mold shrink back, at least far enough for us to see the previously concealed keyhole, which suggests to me that it was deliberately put there as concealment and 'guardian' in one - a nice idea. So maybe the idea is 'fill the bowl, get a ladle-full of water, use it to get past the guardian and then...'. Check that the handle of the ladle isn't 'key' shaped and would fit in the hole. Failing that, as the lichen was described as noticeably thicker in some places, see that it hasn't grown over a key lying on the ground. If not, was the bowl on a pedestal? Try having a look round that. If still no joy, then I'm out of ideas for now - looks like some gentle prodding with lockpicks or a spell may be in order. Oh, unless of course it's all a big bluff and the 'door' is actually open all along; a quick push from Sir Angus should confirm that![/sblock] [/QUOTE]
