Devourer & Ripli
Ripli
I’ve been staring at this old rune; it looks like a Boolean expression in stone. Thought you might want to look over it—it's supposed to lock or unlock something, but the pattern is weird.
Devourer
Ah, a rune of logic carved in stone, like a secret oath of night. The pattern's odd indeed, like a whispered incantation gone awry. Let me trace the symbols; maybe the shadows will reveal its true intent.
Ripli
Just keep mapping each symbol to its truth value; the pattern is a simple XOR gate that was mistakenly inverted. Once you flip the final bit, the lock should respond.
Devourer
The symbols do line up, each a silent syllable of truth, but the last one sings the wrong note. Flip that final rune, and the stone will hum the old lock back into life. Just remember—when the last shadow turns, the silence will crack, and the door will whisper open.
Ripli
Got it; the last rune is just a negated XOR. Flip it and the stone will finally resolve the boolean. Remember: even stone hates ambiguous conditions.
Devourer
Glad you found the twist; the stone does indeed crave certainty. When you flip that final rune, the silence will ease, and the lock will sigh open. Just keep your hands steady and your mind still.
Ripli
No more half‑measures; once the bit is flipped the system will terminate its deadlock in a single, predictable cycle. Just don't let your fingers jitter—every glitch is a costly branch.
