Ivan is still with you but he has been less than accurate on which doorway leads to what room before. You might want to think twice about the information and its source. No good has ever come from "let's follow the dope smoking talking cat"

Was it decided that the food we ate in the dinning room nourished us and that it stayed with us even though the food in the pack vanished?

No one in the party suddenly felt hungry if that is what you meant. The magic food just can't be transported out of the dinning room. Think of it like a terminator rule. Can't travel in time unless bound by flesh (or liquid metal that looks like flesh).

Al, we came in through the north portal when we first entered into this room from the island, yes? Or was it a different portal. (the X on the very first map -on pg 8- has us near the north portal)

Just checking... thanks!

Thanks for that post. Helps me a lot. Perhaps we should keep mapping portals?

When you first came into this room you were moving down a corridor and you found yourself in this room. At the time, it seemed natural to assume you came from the north portal but now you are not so sure. The portals have a different feel to them than your original entrance.

I am putting in my request to play the swashbuckler if it is still open.

Thank you for the consideration.

Sure. It is still open. character sheet is on the site. Let me know if you have any concerns.

Hope you have fun with this romp. The puzzle of getting out is getting more interesting.

There are a few rooms you have missed on this level and then there is a way to a whole new level. Bwahaha!

I agree... let's map out the portals in this room. I suggest we try the north portal this time. Figure out a way to get back here and then try the east portal, come back again and try the west.

Thoughts?

At work at the moment but will do some reading to catch up and then get a post in before close of business Friday. Will that be cool?

You rested in the dining room, then went to the Cellar, next the Throne room and back to the Entrance room. No one is wounded and maybe two hours has passed. Now if you want to stop and talk about things around the fire and see what you can figure out, that is great but there is no "need" to rest.

Who will be the map maker? Ayrn seems to be doing it OOC but we need someone in character. Can Wembley stay focused enough to do that?

The library had the paper on the desk so let's use it and take a moment to sketch each and mark them.

Leaving then by the same portal as before to see if sends us to the wine cellar is ok with me.

BTW I think we used the East portal the first time.
