"Makes sense," Aidan said, and gingerly pulled the book labeled:
Tirion Fordring, From Ashes to Ashes
from off the shelf.
Or, he would have, had it not stopped halfway out with a distinct click. From outside, another click could be heard. "That didn't sound like it was from the gate," Aidan said, stepping outside.
And, indeed, the gate over the stairs remained firmly shut. However, the door of the remaining room had swung open. As Aidan watched, a note, attached to a key, fell from the ceiling and landed next to him.

Balah blinked; staring at Sasha.
"Lucky he's so dang hot..." The Chromatic muttered.

"You should have tried to eat him Sasha." Salena said. "They can't really argue with rows of fangs."
"Hey Balah can your sister shrink her size?" Loki asked noticing the tiny Dusk.

Lucien blinked uncomfortably at Salena's comment.
"Maybe next time." Sasha grumbled. "Alana!"
"Huh?" The Half-Dragon blinked.
"You've gotta run down the road and get us some new phones." Sasha stated; handing off some paperwork to her sister.
"Alright." She nodded; looking up at Sasha. "And don't even
think
of taking off without me." She warned. Revving her bike, Alana took off away from the shop.
"Uh... maybe?" Balah shrugged.

"Oh #$%^ move," Richard observed before pulling his blade out and kicking Naia in the leg.
"Elf!" Harthrend roared.
"Thrag!" the orc replied cheerily. The muscular green skin widened his stance and threw his arms out. The crack of gunfire rang out in the smoke choked chamber, the orc's sleeves disintegrating as bullets ripped from the twin barrels which had long ago replaced his hands.
The undead, startled, halted and raised his massive arms, shielding his head from the rain of bullets which ripped into him and the undead around him.

"Woah!" Richard cried, jumping away as the flames ran up the bookcase beside him.
Johann stared in horror at the burning books. Centuries of knowledge and accumulated history going up all around him in a funeral pyre. The entire reason he was there going up in thick, acrid smoke. His hands shook, one rising to his mouth as if to stifle a scream while tears from the smoke pricked his eyes.
"Oh no...no," he whispered, not even hearing Naia's remark.
"@#$%!" Shareen cursed, lashing out with a hoof at an undead who had crawled along the floor in the head and shattering its skull.

You've got this far, congratulations!
Or perhaps I should say salutations.
For you see, we have just begun
Though you'll be glad before we are done
In the next room, you'll find four locks
Each of which inside of its own box
Your key will fit all four
Though in three reside what you'll abhore
Inside of one lies the treasure
Which will, to your pleasure
Unlock the gate blocking the stair
Which will lead unto my lair
All you have to do is find me, fair enough?
I believe that you will call my bluff
For if you cannot find me by midnight
Your last night will be tonight
P.S. It is 6:32 AM.
As Aidan watched, the time changed to 6:33. "That's reassuring," he mumbled, opening the door into the last room. Inside lay four tables, with a box on each one. Otherwise, the room was bare, beyond a corkboard hung from the far wall. Another note was tacked to the corkboard.
"I'm not sure if I want to look..."

"Hey Calin. Where's Mr. Wibbles?" Loki asked.
"I left him in the front yard." Calin said pointing towards the house before looking back at the cauldrons.
"Why'd you leave him up there?" Loki asked as he started to fish threw his pockets.
"Because mom won't let him in the house or the backyard." She replied.
"Still?" He said to Salena who nodded.
"I don't trust that thing when you're not around. Not after he took out our kitchen wall." She said.
Loki shook his head. "He was just trying to help Sasha." He said pulling out a small blue disk and slid it into his mechanical arm. "Hey Mr. Wibbles!" He called and smiled as the golem came walking around the house and stopped before him.

Balah blinked as Fluffy took a rather long sniff of her. "Uh-" She was suddenly interrupted by being licked in the face.

"True," Aidan said, following and looking at the note.
You could try the key in each lock
Though at what follows you would balk
For only one keyhole will be your friend
And the other three will be your end
I'd avoid the largest, if I were you
And perhaps the smallest too
What remains are red and blue
Though that I'm sure you knew
To solve the problem, look at this
It's certainly something you won't want to miss
For you see, if x = 2, y = 0 and z = 0
Then this just goes to show
Don't skip math class
It might save your, well, you know.
Aidan frowned and looked back at the desks, then did a double take. Each desk was in one quadrant, with each quadrant broken up into four smaller sections. A large box was in the bottom left quadrant, while the smallest was in the bottom right. A red box was in the top right quadrant, with a blue box in the top left.

"Well," Aidain said, thinking. "The floor is a coordinate plane. See from the tiles? It splits into four tiles with four marking each. So x = 2 and y = 0 would be here," he said, stepping over to a table with a red box.

"You're right," Aidan acknowledged, running his hand over the table for a moment. "Hrmph." He bent down, scanning the ground; every once in awhile he would brush aside some dust. "Aha!" he said after a minute or so. Some dust had been brushed aside to reveal a box, which had been set into the floor. A keyhole glittered in the lamplight. "Shall we try this one?"
