A building = a place where humans can go in and eat/sleep/work/be entertained/etc? a tree house? a play house? a building on a game board, like monopoly? something else? Is there anything relevant about Herman? If so, background? family? education? hobbies? job? health? other? | ||

Didn't mean necessarily a public building, just that it is a "normal" one, one that a person (children as well as adults) physically can enter Is it someone's house? Is it a business? | ||

Can some adults enter the building, while others cannot? Same question for children, please. Just for clarification, is this a physical, tangible building? Is it located in a city in a country somewhere? Can we see it? | ||

Was Herman... ...the Dungeon Master? ...One of the players? ...A character controlled by the Dungeon Master? ...A character controlled by one of the players? Did destroying the building further any of the following goals: ...killing an enemy human? monster? ...destroying an enemy organization? ...retrieving treasure? ...gaining experience points? Were any house rules being used? Any game elements (like a spell, monster type, trap etc.) that the DM just made up that weren't in the rule book? (Either of these would explain the "not in any of the books" in the puzzle's title.) | ||

***SPOILER*** Okay, Alex got it right, so here's the link to read the story. Of course, those who aren't familiar with roleplaying games (not computer games) won't understand anything. Oh well. <a href="http://www.duke.edu/web/DRAGO/humor/gazebo.html">Gazebo story.</a> |
