For now Tadara would double back. Checking to see if the first guard had for lack of a better term respawned. As of yet he had not so Tadara would shift to the other side. Always checking his corners and moving in absolute silence. He would not falter in this and take what he had known previously for granted. The castle was full of illusions and could very well be an illusion itself. Even the structure could change at will. However he had to also be concerned on if he was being observed yet. If so was it through the illusions or the castle itself? One was more troubling than the other. Still his experiments would continue. He would move down the right hall this time. Once again resetting the same trap. If the castle was observing him...it wouldn't fall for the same trap twice. At least that was the most likely case.
Once the trap was set and more darts were collected from setting off the pressure plate intentionally, Tadara would use this opportunity to establish a new boundary for the current situation. Discovering the rules of this place little by little. For now he moved up the stairs and collected a couple handfuls of the poison darts. With less precision and more numbers he would begin hurling them at the illusion guarding the next door. Despite the amount however his hits were accurate. Managing to fell the illusion and disperse it before it could do more than shift from its spot. So enough poison to kill an adult male would disperse the illusion as well. It was excellent information to know. After all discovering immunities in enemies would save him some hassle in the future. If he could determine more weaknesses though it would prove useful to him.
Still he would enter the hall. Moving a few paces in before a black bit of movement in a window caught his eye. A raven stood there on the sill. Upon being noticed however it would let out a call before flying away. Moving up further into the castle it seemed. He couldn't just assume a raven had made its perch there. Something else was going on. He would be quick to collect the next tag from behind the door this time. Taking a moment to rest and see what came of the raven while he waited. If it turned out that was how they kept eyes on him he wouldn't mind. Birds could be disposed of fairly quickly. However for now he had the trap set up below. If it had brought reinforcements he would use it then.
