[ Interested in seeing how this will play out, Corwin slides down from his perch in the tree, and begins to walk at a leisurely pace, circling the edge of the pattern. ]

The matter is intent. The pattern will know if you are trying to run, or trying to jump. And besides, once you get far enough in, the resistance will be so great that it will take all of your willpower just to lift one foot at a time, let alone run.

[Heh. Dust's been through worse. Physical resistance is nothing compared to some of the stuff in his mind he has to shrug off. Still...]

So no jumping. Nice of the rules to be perfectly clear before going in.

[ Corwin laughs and offers an exaggerated bow. ]

My apologies, dear traveler. I forget that the intricacies of the pattern are not common knowledge throughout all of Shadow.

[ Never mind that no one without the blood of Amber would ever be able to walk a real pattern. ]

[Dust shakes his head, turning back to frown at the quasi-maze he hasn't yet stepped into again.] I'm not blaming you. It just doesn't make sense. Why make a challenge that has such arbitrary rules, and not explain them somehow?
