Roleplay:
Kellmite searched his belongings for suitably tiny spoon which might be used to apply jam to the door or his tongue. Eada was focussed on the door, wondering what might be behind so many closed doors. After some shifting and rumbling, the two looked around and realised that the squelchy substance covering the floor had swallowed the jams, jars and all. Including the enchanted remains, Eada was concerned to notice.
As the silver Skydancer contemplated how best to avoid being consumed themselves, Kellmite pointed to the door.
“Look!” After the slime-creature had shifted, the door had swung open. As they moved on, Kellmite called out a “thank you!” to the room as they left.
“Please don't get in the habit of carrying around pickled bones with you.” Eada told him.
The siblings then found their third door. The most impressive construction yet. Kellmite sat to one side, his gaze wandering, and Eada decided to take charge of puzzle-solving for the latest door.
“Do you think Mossrind is somewhere in here?” Kellmite asked as Eada studied the papers. She paused and then put them to one side to go to her brother.
“Kell, I don't know how we could know either way.” 'Mossrind' was one of the thaumaturges who had disappeared in the accident that had scattered their clan. He enjoyed collecting ticking, mechanical things and sometimes made small and intriguing contraptions that served no obvious purpose.
“We can still look.”
“Who knows how big this place is, and you know the stories about what happens to those who fail to find their way home from strange parts before the festival ends.” Kellmite shivered, but didn't back down. Eada thought on it further.
“Perhaps, if we find the master of this place, then they will know.” Kellmite's countenance brightened gently with hope.
Once Eada was confident she knew what was needed, she used the amethyst to fetch some gears. They were lucky that they still had some scavenged parts left over that had yet to be traded or sold.
