Exploring is good. My read is that scum want the bonus/to deny town the bonus but it's not clear they want to stop the puzzle from being solved.

Exploring is good, and I'd like to make sure we have time to throughly explore an area before someone just decides we're going to move to another one without any kind of discussion.

It didn't sound to me like there was anything else we could investigate from far away.

I hope there's not an action counter but I also expect that there is no action counter, what scum objective are you saying is furthered by moving too eagerly?

Sure, and then someone else moves us north again and we get nowhere. I'm just saying, maybe a little discussion before we move, otherwise I'll be looking closely at whoever is yanking us around

The double doors leading into the UNDOT are large, heavy, and imposing. There are no handles, no keyhole, and no hinges, so the door must swing inward. But the mechanism to open the door is not apparent.

##look at stone arms

The arm is broken off near the shoulder, and examining the break reveals it to be a solid piece of marble, not hollow. It weighs quite a bit on its own.

The mechanism to open the door must be on the dais somewhere. Have you looked at both the diamond and filigree?

Since I can't act on it, someone else look at the carving:

CirclMastr posted:

The dominant carving is a large diamond inlaid with three overlapping circles. Around and above it ('above' meaning it is between the diamond and the door) is an elaborate filigree pattern.

##look at the diamond

The diamond is inlaid with three large circles that slightly overlap, forming a triangle inside the center of the diamond. A closer look at the stone itself reveals a small gap between the diamond and the rest of the stonework. It is apparently a separate piece, and not mortared to the other stones around it.

##jump on diamond

As you land on the diamond, it sinks downward, and a loud grinding sound echoes through the courtyard as the doors begin to open inward. When you jump upward and off the diamond, however, the diamond rises back up and the doors quickly slam fully shut.
