Discretion is the Better Part of Valour

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 74362

"I think that we should tell Manathus about this recipe," Fred said. "It goes against the grain to dance to his tune, but I fear that he would detect it if we tried to lie to him about it. And we've already seen how powerful he is and what he can do to those who cross him. We will have to bide our time until we see an opportunity to bring him down."

"I'm afraid that you are right," Astra said. "Also surely he must already have had these catacombs searched. He didn't need us to do that. Wouldn't he then be aware of the tile and its message? Perhaps he set this up as a test to see whether he could trust us."

"I suppose that's possible. Can you memorise the message? I was never very good at doing that sort of thing."

"We may not need to. Perhaps we can prise the tile free and bring it back with us. That would prove beyond doubt that we were telling the truth."

  1. They manage to get the tile free without much trouble.
  2. But the tile is stuck fast, and without any tools they are unable to free it.
  3. But the mage who set the tile there evidently did not want it to be removed. Their attempt to do so triggers a magical booby trap.
