"Why are we in here?......this deficationnally looks like a sewer."

Alissa: As you turn the corner and start heading north, about 40' ahead you see a rather mangy, bedraggled gynosphinx squatting in the water in the middle of a 3 way intersection. 1 passage goes northwest at a 45 degree angle, 1 goes straight and 1 goes northeast at a 45 degree angle.
It looks like an inverted peace sign.
(This is going to go so badly...)
"Hey there... are you okay? Can I offer you some..."
*takes a blob of meatish... something... from her pack*
"... whatever meat stuff it is?"
Alick seems almost as excited as Tvashtri at the prospect of an intellectual challenge.
*Approaches the gynosphynx in a non threatening manner.*
Are you okay?

Alissa: As you approach within 10' you come into contact with an invisible wall preventing you from going further. The Gyno looks up and says
I will remove your barrier if you can answer my riddle.
Round she is, yet flat as a board
Altar of the lupine lords
Jewel on black velvet, pearl in the sea
unchanged but e'erchanging, eternally
"Sooooo... Ummm... a sort of black round table, made of water? Like, with a dogfood bowl under it?"
"Oh I love riddles and stories. Tell us another one!"

I got it just from the first line.
It's Nasty's mom.
It could be flax, too. Apparently it is the most common answer to riddles.

That is correct, you may pass[ The gyno says looking at TAK and Alick and giving a strange look at AMH.
TAK: Am I well? I am sitting in foot deep warm brackish water asking pointless riddles. Life could be better.
Alissa: As you turn the corner and start heading north, about 40' ahead you see a rather mangy, bedraggled gynosphinx squatting in the water in the middle of a 3 way intersection. 1 passage goes northwest at a 45 degree angle, 1 goes straight and 1 goes northeast at a 45 degree angle.

"Wanna tag along with us, then? I mean... If you're not busy other than warming the water and asking riddles? What do you say, gang?"
"Sorry I Peed in your ool."
Point back towards the staircase.
"Do you know where we are going?"
Jenny: Gee I'd love to but that bastid tolkein hates DMPC's
I know the feeling.
Hey TAK. Cast stoneshape and build her a dry perch to sit on. I would ask Nesod, but he has disappeared again.
"Hmmm... Would grease help? Stinking cloud? Hmmmm... Floating disk? Let's try it."
I cast a floating disk for the sphinx to sit on.
"Here. This lasts for a few hours. If we come back this way, I'll recast it for you. If we don't, it's back to the water. Oh, btw, which way is the best one for us?"
Trapdodger suddenly goes on high alert....
"Are any of the 6th graters here?....is it their sewage?"
@Jenny
"I thought that smell was you."
"We have to kill Boron I think. Though I would love something to eat if there is a place along the way."
"Do you know if the Moon is really made of cheese?"
Hey, greedy guts. Don't worry about it. Whether it is or isn't, you will never get there to find out.
"Shush! You are totally blowing my plan to make a giant cannon and see if we can get big nasty to the moon!"
I turn to Trapdodger.
"Sadly, no. But I am glad you think it would be."
"It is also a good reason for nasty to go on a diet, since the mass of the object makes it harder to get to the moon."
"Hey I learned something from those tinkerer gnomes after all!"
Nasty: Yes it is...old moldy stanky runny cheese
SHHH! You will make Nasty want it even more.
Which one is the safest most direct route to Boordor?
:-P
We go right.
Except me! -floats along with the party, keeping pace with them but staying dry-
"Mmmmmmm, this mud is pretty tasty."
"Oooooooh what a cutie! Hey there little fella! You hungry?"
I pat the slime and hand it a handful of goop from the floor. As it eats, I scoop part of it into a big jar of sturdy glass and close the jar, then lick off the slime on the outside.
"You should probably be careful and not touch it, but I am the bigger ooze here."
I love this party.
Trapdodger joins the dirty love.party by wrapping both his arms around AM Healers left leg, planting his face in the buttock region.....
"I feel the love!"
I think I just sharted.
"Should we feed it to the jelly?.....quick get the jelly jar!"
Releases the leg in excitement to feed the jelly something fresh.
Starts digging in his pouch....
"I have a spoon in here somewhere!"
Great, a new pet.
"Okay, c'mere."
I scoop up the rest of the slime and put it around my neck.
"Yeah, Alissa, I know. Isn't it simply adorable?"
Alick says after AM HEALER and Trapdodger's unusual display.
Continues to search his pouches........
"Okay, c'mere."
I scoop up the rest of the slime and put it around my neck.
"Yeah, Alissa, I know. Isn't it simply adorable?"
Jenny, what does your slime familiar think of your newly adopted companion?
He leans over to Alissa. "Our new teammate Trapdodger is sort a strange do you think his Mama dropped him on his head when he was young?"
