2-3 No, you cannot figure out the puzzle

You tinker with it for a time. Moving parts about and shifting the chains.

Within a matter of minutes you make a hopeless mess of it all. It was far worse than when you started.

"Pah!" You throw your arms up. This was beyond you. The goblin girl said you needed four rubies to get to the next stage of the dungeon. Hopefully you would find enough of them elsewhere because you weren't figuring this one out.

In frustration you turn and leave the room.
