EMERALD and IOLITE

Dark stone makes up the walls of this small cool room, and they tremble faintly as if afflicted with some terrible noise or nearby conflict.

[ Two small stone sculptures again appear on the floor, the same as before: one of a book, and one of a rose. They are a little bigger this time. ]

So, should we go with the book again, or try a rose this time? Do we want to risk finding out what the rose does, or just stick with riddles?

I think we got the first one right, so why not stick with it? We make a good team, it seems.

That sounds good, yeah. I'll go grab it again, then.

We'll go with the book again.

[ The book suddenly breaks free of the stone; it is now made of paper and cloth binding. Only one page shows any words, however. ]

I follow war and lead you home;
You'll need me if you seek to roam.
Come or go, arrive or depart--
Should you stray, I'm where you start.

Hm... Follows war and leads you home... A trail, maybe? But that seems a bit too simple...

No, I'm thinking of a map, the borders of a country, or anything along that line.

Hm... Of the options, a map makes the most sense. A map can follows wars, while a compass can't. Borders aren't really where you would start if you get lost, but a map would be a good place to start.

You also can map out where the troops are moving on a map. I think we've got it. What do you say?

Got it, I'll put it in, then!

[going to waddle as he thinks]

A compass?

Is it a map?

[ the book riffles in an oddly disapproving fashion, then snaps closed--and is stone again ]
