So theoriginal direction of travel was from the bottom of the page to the top. We turned and went down the hall to three doors and went in the middle door. Now we are retreated back to the intersection (the star). I meant us to continue going striaght in so back to the bottom top of page thing.


Better?
------------------------------------------

With this completed the party not taking time to search the room closed the door and made their way South once more and down a set of steps the same as they had minutes before come up. Upon reaching the next floor they could see twenty feet ahead that the South bound hallway ended, splitting into a new hallway running only East and West. Reaching the spilt, the party could see to the West sixty to eighty feet away the hallway ended at a series of three doors. The first of these three doors was on the North wall of the hallway, the second directly across from it to the South, the hallway ending at the third twenty feet beyond to the West.(We went west throught the middle door.)
To the East thirty feet away the party could see a second hallway once again opened to the South. Beyond this new hallway, roughly fifty feet eastward, the party could just make out the possibility of yet another spilt. The hallway at that split now offering three new ways to go, to the North, to the South, and continuing to the East. As the party stood and pondered which way to go, the sounds of battle began to reach them. The clash of weapons, the clang of struck armor, the yells of pain and dying, all echoed within these castle halls.
So as I read it we are wanting to going south, right? Deeper into the castle.

Just talked with Ody and he now understands what I meant and he asked to clarify.

The door to the Lab is not shown on the map as it is further down the first South hallway. The way the full map is drawn I cannot show more detail as that would show where other rooms where on the map.

The three doors on the map have yet to be gone through. He has told me where the party is headed and I'll start writing my post now based on that and player posts.

Well either I got confused or we confused Tann.
Seems that we came down from the north but did not turn down the hall with the three doors, but went across the hall and down the hall on the other side to the lab. We then came back up that hall. The lab was not shown on the map Tann had made. Now we are going over to the next south hall Parallel to the labs hall.

Sure that's clear!!

So this how I read it and I am saying we continue south.

I'm planning on having Ulthok head down that hall following the arrows. Anyone want to go the other way?

I'm open.

I would like to go South. Just directly towards the centre of the castle. Hopefully it is still towards the centre...

i'll follow the group south

South!

Do we spend time checking books for more magic or do we grab a few, stuff them in the bag of holding and hustle on?

I'm a little short on insperation, but I'll follow the lead of the group. Roan has already started checking books.

i'm for checking/looting the books.. i'm a little leery of traps magic or other wise.
but i wanted to give everyone time to react/respond to introductions to Xin.

It is not good to not post at any time... Guilty!

Fighting a chest cold the child unit brought home.
Have you ever tried to write something sick... and with one heck of a medicine-head?

Oh I wrote some s*** down... but then when I reread to post... that small part in the back of my brain said, 'What are you trying to saying?'
When the rest of my brain said, 'Who said some thing!'

I could go on about the whole conversation I had but that would be just weird.

In short, lack of post on my part. Sorry.

So you're saying all that other stuff Weaver says is from you're clear headed?

WOW!

Is it determined the lock is just too complicated or do we sense a Magical locking to overcome, much as we sensed the magic on the books?

Siréne has "Knock" prepared. Just saying...
