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.

Then move back south ! ! 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?

Sounds like we can't decipher the code on the arm before going inside the tower, and can't force door open (I'm trying to read back for other clues)

yuming posted:##look at door 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.

kaschei posted:##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.

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.

Hal Incandenza posted:##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.

When you jump upward and off the diamond, however, the diamond rises back up and the doors quickly slam fully shut.
