The right side was really a puzzle. The only clue was the green key but why was it put among enemies?
“Guys, look at the second clue. ‘How many you are’. That’s the number four, isn’t it?” Diane pointed at the second line on the left side.
“Of course,” Daniel tapped himself on the forehead, “the other ones are numbers as well.”
“Well but how does it help us? The switches don’t have numbers written on them and they are four only for five puzzles.” Tessie shook her head.
“Yeah, it didn’t work if we switched each of them.” Diane sighed.
“Wait! I’ve got the message,” an idea hit Thomas, [Spoiler. I don’t want to spoil your fun at the game. The lines above were simple but this is the crucial point.]
“RIght, Thomas, let’s hurry up to the lattice again,” Daniel put the book back into the shelf and turned back and stepped forward.
“Hey, kids, don’t run that fast. The puzzles won’t fly away,” the librarian grinned when they passed her, “oh, the children are always impatient,” she told herself when the door closed behind them.
The party stopped in front of the lattice and Thomas walked over to the switches. He [Spoiler] and a machine sound could be heard when a part of the lattice slid to the right and freed the passage.
“Well, we have solved the first puzzle. Thomas, try the nurse; I’m quite curious,” Diane asked him before stepping forward.
“Okay,” he [Spoiler] but they couldn’t see anything.
“Join us, Thomas. We’ll find everything later,” Tessie called her toddler boyfriend. Thomas nodded and walked back to the lattice.
They found several chests with resources but they experienced a big surprise; there was another nursery around the next corner.
“It worked,” Thomas exclaimed. “We don’t have to go back when we need diaper changes.” Suddenly he realized his diaper was wet.
“Tessie, love, aren’t you wet? I peed myself and didn’t realize it at all,” he asked Tessie innocently, just like any other toddler.
“Wait … yeah, I am; let’s go to the nursery before proceeding.”
Diane was dry but all others needed a diaper change. The nurse was as nice as the one in the first nursery and changed them quickly.
The party left the nursery and proceeded. They got to a ladder leading to the upper floor. Thomas was the first one who climbed it and the others followed him quickly.
“Hey, guys, look; this is a wonderful view,” Daniel crawled onto a table and looked out of the window. They could see the manor yard and three towers. However the yard was empty.
“It is a bit scary; are we alone here?” Tessie got worried again.
“No, remember Susan and Eric and the nurse,” Thomas calmed her down.
“Okay, okay but I’m worried anyway.”
“This is a game; don’t forget it. If we need somebody, they will appear.”
Tessie nodded even if she didn’t calm down.
As they wanted to continue, two big bats emerged and they had to fight them. Their diapers got wet again but after defeating the bats Diane spotted a vial on the floor.
“Adult elixir. What should we do?”
“I’d propose to ask somebody or go to the library again. We haven’t read all the basics though.”
