Mao & Cedric
The door opens into darkness. You can hear a faint but constant bubbling noise, but nothing stirs as far as you can make out.

As Homm continues to play with the wall, Ash takes off calling "I'll be right back. No pushing the button without me." At the door she stops, looks back and calls "Mr. Knight if Little Sneak pushes that button without me, I'm going to bash him good." She then takes off down the hall.
As she passing through the intersection, she notices Cedric and Mao at the unopened door and calls "Mao, guess what? The walls eat stuff." She then takes off to the provision room.
Once there she grabs a skin fills it with ale, takes a tiny sip of it and almost chokes. "Yuck," she cries. "How can anybody drink this stuff. It tastes absolutely awful." She then runs over, takes a look at the provisions that were found and then stuffs some in her pouch and keeps one in her hand.
She starts to leave but then opens the skin and pours just a little of the ale in her hand and then rubs it on the floor. She also takes the piece of ration she has in her hand on the floor.
* After whatever happens there *
She takes off out the door and stops in the hallway. She rubs the piece of ration on the wall.
*E - what happens when Ash rubs the stuff on the floor and the wall *

Ash
You get the same ripple effect, followed by the stain being somehow removed by the ripples. Works on both the floor and the wall.

Stelrein watching Homm. "Okay, I think I know what Ash meant by the walls were eating stuff. But what did she mean by a button. And Loriana and her both mentioned something about a door?"
Turning to Zumar, "Zumar what are they..." Stelrein blinks noticing Zumar is floating in the air. Regaining his composure Stelreing continues, "what are they talking about?"

Zumir shrugs. "They have found the door," he says, sounding a little puzzled at all the fuss.

Stelrein rubs his temples in frustration. He takes a deep breath then says in a calm voice, "Would you mind pointing to the door in question?"

"I can't," Zumir admits grudgingly. "Part of my instructions are not to reveal the door. I would that I could..."

Ash smiles as she watches the floor turn to ripples and clean up the mess that she has made. "This is soooooooooo cool," she thinks.
After testing the hallway wall with the same results, she walks to the intersection, sees Mao and Cedric still standing at the door and calls "Hey you guys want to see something really cool?" She then walks up to them, pours a little ale in her hand and rubs it on the wall. Then in another spot she rubs the ration she is still holding.
*Assumes the wall reacts like the other two and the floor (ripples and cleans itself) *
As the wall cleans itself, she grins and says "See I told you the wall eats stuff. Bet you guys didn't believe me."
She then looks at Mao and says "Hey Mao, did you know that Zu can sit in mid air. He's really a cool guy too even if he is blue. When you and Ced get through here, you will have to come see. I gotta go," she says, "Gotta tell Mr. Knight and Homm and Zu what I found out." She then takes off back to the room where Zu is.

AshThe wall does indeed react in the way that you expect

Stelrein nods to Zumir. "I see," he says. By this time he figures that there is a secret door somewhere in the room.
Turning to Rasidar, "When Homm and I came here earlier Zumir mentioned that we were inside. If indeed there is a secret door in this room I assume it leads out. I would then suggest we check the other rooms..." Stelrein cringes as he hears Ash calling down the hall about the wall eating.
Hearing this Stelrein gets a curious expression. He picks up the water shin that Ash brought in to give to Rasidar, Homm, and Loriana. Crouching He dips his finger in the ale then writes on the floor.
WHERE ARE WE?
Stelrein vaguely remembered magical surfaces that held information. Considering how it acted to Homm it was possible that the walls and floors have a slightly sentient capacity.
*E what is the floors reaction?*

Mao jerks when Ash calls at her from the intersection as she's opening the door, saying a confused thing about the wall eating stuff. Ash's tone was not indicating any worry, rather that she had found something that seemed amazing to her - which could prove more worrisome than amazing to anyone else. But as Mao glances towards the intersection Ash is already gone; so she reports her full attention on the door she's opening.
As the door opens Mao sees nothing but darkness in the room; there's an intriguing soft bubbling noise coming from there though. Before deciding to enter she tries to detect more about the room and what makes that sound. (Elliot, can she feel (air draft, temperature change), smell, hear or see anything?)
After a few moments, she hears Ash reaching back the intersection; though that doesn't prevent her to jerk again when she calls them from the intersection.
Mao looks at the wall aspirating the ale and ration, intrigued. (Elliiot, does it do any noise when it does that?) Before she can place a word, Ash is already gone after saying a few things about what she supposes to be the djinn, though she's not sure to have understood anything right. She then looks at Cedric to see what he might think of all this.

Cedric observes Ash's experiment and nods pensively - no wonder everything is so strangely clean in here.
As to Ash's exited story of the djinn, he simply says to Mao "We'll see soon enough, and then we'll maybe understand her juvenile enthusiasm - at least there does not to seem to be any danger from that djinn."
He then carefully enters the room, quickly sidestepping from the door opening.
{What do we find, when shedding some light on the situation?}

Ash comes running back into the room where Zu, Homm, Rasidar and Stelrein are saying excitedly "Guess what? Guess what? This isn't the only wall that eats stuff. All of them seem to, at least the ones I tested did. Even the floor eats stuff. I rubbed some ale on it some of this food and it ate it," she says holding up the piece of food in her hand. Isn't that cool?"
All of a sudden she stops as if an idea came to her. "I wonder what the floor would do if I dropped this whole piece on it," she says holding the piece of food in front of her. She then drops it as she says "Let's find out."
"Oh, and Ced and Mao are checking out the other dark room," she says as if it was just a piece of info she decided to throw in.
*E - what happens when Ash drops the whole piece of food on the floor in the room where Zu is? Does the floor consume all of it in one gulp or what?*

As I have already statedin the discussionb thread Sim will try the following: Once the wall has removed to stain using whatever means it employs and the ripples vanish. when we touch the wall do the ripples come back and react to our touching the wall or a it is now unmaked does just not react at all. if the the former is true if you hold your stationary against the wall for a prolonged period of time do the ripples start to try and envelope your hand as well? EK: Am I right in saying that wall outside the room react in the same way? and If so how comes we haven't noticed it before? To Ash: while you in the Provisions room would you mind grabbing me some rations please my dear?

Rasidar looks to Stelrein. He gestures to the door and the button, making sure that he can see where they're located.
"We should know what this opens," Rasidar agrees. "We may then decide whether to take the passage or not. I am likewise curious about the passages we have not yet explored. If there are provisions left over for a large group, there may yet be weapons."
After Ash tests the floor, he nods with interest.
"`Twould seem that some magic maintains this place," he says. "I would like to know who would be so concerned about the condition of these rooms, and why."

*just as Ash is heading out the door to get food and ale to test with*
Ash is in such a hurry that all she hears is Sim call her name. "Hang on. I'll be back in a minute," she calls and keeps running.

Stelrein
The ripples eat your words.
Mao
The air is slightly cooler, and a little fresher, but the difference is so slight you only notice it when you are consciously observing. The wall makes no noise when it makes the ripples.
Ash
The floor does not react at all to the entire joint you have just thrown onto it. The meat just sits there.
Sim
The wall does not react to your hand at all, even when firmly pressed for a long period. It just feels like a normal wall, except smoother.
***
Cedric & Mao
This is the largest room you have so far found other than the one you woke up in. In the light of Cedric's globe, you can see a number of seven foot high by three foot glass tubes that rest in metal rings in the floor. Each tube is open at the top, and filled with a strangely bubbling liquid that is clear but very slightly tinged with green. The liquid swirls slowly, but you cannot see why. The tubes are spaced evenly around the walls, with the nearest being right next to where Cedric is now standing.
The purpose of these tubes is something you can only guess at, as there is nothing else you can see in the room so far - though your light has not yet illuminated all of it.

Turning to Rasidar, Stelrein says, "Considering that Cedric and Mao have already opened the door, we better to go help investigate. If you want, you can stay to make sure no one opens the secret door." Stelrein leaves to go to the room Cedric and Mao are searching. He takes out his light globe and searches farther in the room, taking care not to touch the glass tubes.
(E - what does Stelrein find?)

StelreinI'm going to leave the exploring there to Cedric & Mao for a while as they have been less active than the rest of you No offence, but I don't want any players shut out of the game because they are not able to post as much

"I shall remain behind," Rasidar says. "`Twould be best that someone guards the secret door. Go as you would, and report back once the others have finished their search."
