Obtain pile of skulls. You seize the pile of skulls for obvious reasons. summon a Skeleton and RIDE IT OUT OF THE MAGMA The skeleton immediately melts. You are unable to ride the liquid bone out of the magma, for it has mixed with the magma too much to be easily identifiable. Drink as much as you can, as fast as you can. You drink enough to lower the magma by several hundred metres. Doing so takes a sizeable wedge out of your health because magma is hot and consuming it is dangerous. Do some synchronized swimming in the lava It's not very deep here so you just kind of lay face-down in the magma for a while. This is synchronised isn't it? Get out of there, silly. Get out of the boiling magma? What a novel idea! Alright, I'll humour you. You get out of the incredibly hot deadly boiling magma.   There's a door here which is allegedly ancient. Two dwarves guard it. The one on the left speaks: "I am the dwarf who always lies. My friend here is the dwarf who always gives bad advice. In order to enter here, you must answer OUR RIDDLE!" |

Point out to him that he can't be the dwarf who always lies, because if such were the case he would've just caused a paradox and blown up the universe.
Either way, he's just invalidated the riddle because the very premise of it is based upon a logical fallacy.
Peek inside both doors before going through either of them.

Peek inside both doors before going through either of them. You take a look inside the unguarded door that is obviously very boring indeed. "You can't be the dwarf that always lies because if you were you would have just told the truth."  It's nothing but dull and uninteresting cleaning supplies and axes and gold. "Well maybe I just tell the truth that one time. To introduce the rules of the riddle." His counterargument is not convincing in the least. Ignore them, and wait until it's night. Throw a rock somewhere else to distract them out of their guarding positions and enter the door.It's already night. Besides, as everyone knows, dwarves don't need to sleep. He's lying. Shove the dwarves aside and go through the ancient door.  You just shove them out of the way without any subtlety whatsoever. "Hey! You're not allowed in there! You need to answer our cool riddle!"  "Who are you? You're not allowed in here! How did you get past our impossible riddle?" |

Summon a skeleton and RIDE IT INTO THE WALL Alright, you do that.
Shove them aside and look at the cool box. It's a box with a countdown on it, sat upon a tree stump and with a map draped over it like some kind of tablecloth. The countdown box is set to expire in about 2 billion years, as you can clearly tell by reading the number on the front of it.
Simple, the answer to your riddle is "The whole thing is a logical fallacy, and therefore invalid." You tell the dwarves the answer to their precious riddle.  -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --    The Powerful Attack does very little damage. |

Spades: Bust the box open. You try punching the box but it takes no damage whatsoever.  Trying to pull the box apart yields nothing. You could wait for it to expire but that's long. Maybe there's a puzzle or riddle that you have to solve to open it. Perhaps a tool in the general vicinity can grant access to its contents, possibly one submerged in magma or otherwise. Go back to the lava pool and drink more. You drink the rest of the magma. There's nothing in here. Obviously. Any key would be molten by it. |

Spades: Vomit lava onto the box. You bring forth your latest meal in a new attempt to vanquish the countdown box. The map and stump are destroyed by the magma and both dwarves quickly perish. The box remains.
Summon a skeleton and RIDE IT ON THE PUZZLE Also I'd like to point out Spades drank the lava with the dead skeleton in so he technically has two skeletons inside him right now. Can we have a skeleton count? You carefully position the new skeleton on top of the countdown box which is still intact within the magma. You climb onto the skeleton and out of the magma to save yourself from death. Drinking magma and standing in it all day has been rather unhealthy. Of course, this skeleton also quickly melts. Spade Man: Melt cuz of the lava and die.  You reflect on the events that lead to your demise, trying to pinpoint one or two crucial mistakes. It was probably the decision to leap into magma, drink it, swim in it, drink it some more and then fill the room with it. That was probably the lethal mistake. |

LOZ? Legend of Zelda? Summon a skeleton and ASK HIM WHETHER INGESTING LAVA IS A BAD IDEA You interrogate the newly created skeleton, scouring its mind to find out its opinions on magma consumption.  The skeleton contemplates for a second and tells you that ingesting lava is in fact NOT a good idea. You take its advice to heart and make a personal vow to never needlessly consume magma or lava ever again.  It is at this point that you are plucked from Limbo and deposited back from whence you came by the hitherto unmentioned curse that you are under. Decide to not learn from your mistakes. The vow is now broken. You wonder why you must keep doing these foolish and self-destructive actions. You chalk it up to your low intelligence and sense of self-preservation. |

Wait, curse? Explain this curse. You are cursed to always respawn where you died, a short time after you died. It will also pull you from Limbo within fourteen and a bit seconds if you don't redie in that time. The curse can only be lifted in two ways: First, preferably, by killing the other who was cursed at the same time as you; secondly, by being killed by said person. Fortunately that person is certainly on the same world as you and will undoubtedly make a huge commotion simply by being there. The curse is a secondary effect of your Ace of Spades ability, which teleports yourself and an enemy to a random planet (and also causes a /rather large/ explosion) and administers the curse to both of them until one kills the other. |

Check if the lava opened the box! No damage. Damnable box doesn't want to die. Spade: Take the box with you until you find a way to open it. Capital idea! Now if you happen to live until it opens you'll get the loot for free! I don't see this as being a particularly bad curse. If used right, it could potentially break you out of the timeloop nonsense you'd normally be trapped in, but I suppose that might be your choice. Yes! This is no curse! This is the power to control your own destiny! No longer will you be chained to the infernal temporal loop in which your future is eternally determined; now you can claim true freedom! Spade: Which particular enemy was it that you managed to get yourself cursed with? It was Hearts. |

Hearts: What is your thoughts on the "curse" inflicted upon you by Spade? And would you be willing to put aside previous issues to utilize the "curse" to break out of the timeloop which you are presently trapped in. Curse? What curse? You have not been alerted to the existence of a curse! Besides, breaking out of timeloops is a myth that only conspiracy theorists believe. Everyone knows that if you don't go back in time to become your past self, you'll never get to exist in the first place! You can't really put aside your issues with Spades either. Man stepped out of line, he's gotta get annihilated. |
