" Wait, I can help you! My name's Carl Winthrop and I'm stuck
here same as you. ## 
" Your only hope is to find five Chinese Coins hidden
in the asylum. Take the coins to the temple, and use them
to summon the Karcist. ## 
" The Karcist will be compelled to tell you how to
destroy the evil blighting this house. ##
" Now, unless you got any questions, I'll be on my way."

" Like I said, there's five of them and they're scattered
about the asylum.  Trouble is, some of them are in secret areas.
There are plenty of secret areas on that floor. In one of them
is a book of vital importance, but all the other artefacts
hidden there are traps. Want to know anything else?"

" Yes, do you think it would be a good idea for us to team
up?"

" How do you know so much about the place?"

" No, we stand a much better chance of success if we split up.
That way they'll have to divide their forces. You go after the
Chinese Coins and I'll chase up plans of my own."

None

Ok

" If I'm to look for the Coins I'll need to know more about
their location."

" You seem to know a great deal about what's going on around
here. Maybe you an fill me in on the big picture."

" What plans? What do you intend to do?"

" The way I see it, the house is just one big trap. They've
brought the last of the Winthrops home to die, to complete
some kind of pact. Worse, they're getting us to kill
ourselves. The more we fight, the more our own strength is
turned against us. ##
" So when you see a monster, drop your weapons, stand still
and don't fight back. We must prove the power of good over evil.
If we fight back, we become evil ourselves, and that's what
they want."

Ok

" So where do the Chinese Coins fit into all this?"

" Wouldn't it be safer, then, if we confronted these things
together? That way we could make sure that neither of us does
the wrong thing."
//
" Is that how you've managed to survive so far, by not
resisting?"

" Fine, now about those glowing runes?"

" The rune is a dimensional gateway. To open it, you'll have
to learn the Dimensional Rift spell which I believe is contained
within a book hidden on the floor below. ##
" More important, however, are the blue runes. Cast
Dimensional Rift before one of these, and you will be free to
escape the
house. More than that, you will disrupt the dimensional
barrier surrounding the house and in doing so will set back
Belthegor's plans for another two hundred years."
