After clicking "YES, I'M READY."; if you attempt to leave you will be met with this dialog:

Attempt #1: *"Well, you can't. See, I'm the protector of this path and this path leads to the library, which is itself a labyrinth. Once the Riddle starts, there's no going back. You thought you walked a straight road, didn't you? So go ahead, try to escape. I'll be waiting."*
Attempt #2:*"See? You cannot leave unless you answer three questions. If your answers are wrong, I'll let you return to your reality. Perhaps severely injured... or maybe just plain dead. One way or another, you'll never see me again. Enough of the babbling. Next question."* --(Dialog will auto move to the next question)

Question #1: *"What was once, is not now, but is yet everywhere and will everlast?"*

**THE WYRDNESS***"Wrong."*[Lost: 20% Current HP (rounded down)]
**TIME***"Yes, you are right. Corruption is everywhere, but time still stands. Only on different ground..."*
**CONSCIOUSNESS***"Wrong."*[Lost: 20% Current HP (rounded down)]
Question #2: *"Twelve brothers, believing in dreams, checked a wall at the side of the dream. What did they find?"*

**A GIRL***"No, sorry. You should have paid more attention to your old nanny's tales."*[Lost: 20% Current HP (rounded down)]
**DEATH***"No, sorry. You should have paid more attention to your old nanny's tales."*[Lost: 20% Current HP (rounded down)]
**A VOICE***"Oh, yes. You heeded the tales of your elders. I approve. Ready for the last one? Or would you prefer to run around like a headless chicken, trying to escape?"*
**THE VOID***"No, sorry. You should have paid more attention to your old nanny's tales."*[Lost: 20% Current HP (rounded down)]
Question #3: *"Armor, swords, boots, helmet, or shield. Which one would a wise warrior choose?"*

**"ARMOR, TO PROTECT HIS BODY. WITHOUT IT HE WOULD DIE SOONER."***She laughs. "Just remember, it's your own lack of wisdom that hurts you. Not me."*[Lost: 20% Current HP (rounded down)]
**"SWORD, TO ATTACK HIS OPPONENTS. A WARRIOR WITHOUT A SWORD IS NOTHING."***She laughs. "Just remember, it's your own lack of wisdom that hurts you. Not me."*[Lost: 20% Current HP (rounded down)]
**"BOOTS, TO RUN FROM UNNECESSARY FIGHTS. THE BEST DEFENSE IS FLIGHT."***She laughs. "Just remember, it's your own lack of wisdom that hurts you. Not me."*[Lost: 20% Current HP (rounded down)]
**"SHIELD, TO PUSH AN OPPONENT AWAY AND PROTET HIMSELF AT THE SAME TIME."***She laughs. "Just remember, it's your own lack of wisdom that hurts you. Not me."*[Lost: 20% Current HP (rounded down)]
**"HELMET, TO PROTECT THE BEST OF HIM: HIS MIND."***She laughs. "Yes, that's right. Without his mind even the greatest warrior couldn't decide which one of the rest of the items to use in combat: sword to attack, shield to protect or boots to run. You may proceed." She disappears.*

*You're left with no road in sight. Yet as you walk further, you slowly realize that the majestic trees around you seem to be forming some kind of structure. They start to look a lot like walls... It seems like an abandoned corridor in a building that must've been made for giants. The air is stifling. As you struggle to breathe, eerie noises begun to spread all around you. Wait... was that the sound of a page turning? Definitely. You hear the velvety rasp of a page being turned... And you're transported somewhere.*

*And now you see it: a beast which must have been human once. It's reading. It's reading dozens of books at the same time with dozens of monstrous eyes. One of these eyes fixes a beady gaze upon you. "Another bookworm, huh? Glad you found your way here." Is this the library that the Lost Soul told you about? "Any book you're particularly interested in?"*"GIVE ME THE ONE CONTAINING THE MENHIR RITES."*"This one? Are you quite sure?" The monster shows you a stone-gray grimoire etched with strange markings. "Even I can't read this one..."*"YES, THIS ONE."*"So you have your book. And since you answered all of the Girl's questions, you still have two wishes to spare. One will be obvious. Here you go."* [Received: Full HP] *"And the last one? You can choose."** **"GIVE ME A LIGHT FOR MY JOURNEY."**[Received: 1 ] --Continue to dialog below
* **"GIVE ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW I NEED."**[Received: 1 ] --Continue to dialog below
* **"GIVE ME SOMETHING YOU HAVE BUT CAN'T USE YOURSELF."**[Received: 1 ] --Continue to dialog below

*"And since we won't meet again, a deal is a deal. Here... Now leave me alone. Go and save the world, if you please. I need to go back to my books." The library disappears in the blink of an eye, leaving you in the middle of Wyrdness-soaked woods.* [Update Quest: The Fall of Avalon]**--ENCOUNTER END--**
