Schmektor: Just for fun, I pull the tart up by the ivy door and put the tart riders' hands on the door just to watch their hair stand up... that's always fun for a laugh, and I would expect nothing less if I were in the tart. (ok rob, I'm not trying to hurt anyone, so before you do damage or kill someone because of my prank... I put my hand on it first to make sure it's safe)

I closely examine the paintings. Are there any subtle details that don't jump out at first glance? Is there anything on the wall behind them? How about on the back of the paintings themselves? Anything of interest on the frames?

I'm down with kicking a jester's ass. Can some one bust an Aid on me just in case melee ensues? Who's with me? I approach the Iron Door and if no one in the party objects, I enter.  ¶ 12:21 PM
