Sure, west passage.

Sirocco · Post by **Sirocco** » Tue Apr 26, 2016 12:11 pm

@SGamerz, nbd, obviously. Still, my vote stands.

What I do remember about this book is that once you pick a certain door/passage, you leave the previous "hub" and go to a new one, and you cannot go back. So I'm not sure whether the west or the north passage is one-way, but since the north passage is specifically described as long, I'm betting that is the one-way option.

West.

westward ho !

You stand at the end of a long passageway, looking west. You can see three doors along the south wall, and on the northern side there is a passageway leading off northwards between the first and second doors. There is also a door on the north side of the passage, directly opposite the third and most distant of the south-facing doors. At the far end of the western passage, a door faces you as the passage turns northwards. You feel sure that this passageway leads deeper into the heart of Castle Argent. Choose an area here which you have not explored. Will you make for:

The first door to the south?
The second door Lo the south?
The north side passage?
The third door to the south?
The single door to the north?
The far end of the west passage?

More doors and passages.......

The lone north door, for no particular reason.

ashimbabbar · Post by **ashimbabbar** » Thu Apr 28, 2016 5:31 pm

if I understand correctly, north is into the depths of the castle. So it would make sense to begin by clearing the doors to the south.

Le's be methodical and start with first door to the south.

Sirocco · Post by **Sirocco** » Thu Apr 28, 2016 8:34 pm

Agreed. 1st door south.

SlyJohnny · Post by **SlyJohnny** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 2:54 pm

Have we bypassed the end of the north passage by accident, then?

I agree with the door searching plan.

Darth Rabbitt · Post by **Darth Rabbitt** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 3:25 pm

I'll join the "1st door south" bandwagon.

The lock on this door is smashed, so you gently push it open and find yourself in what must once have been a great library Alas, the beautiful leather-bound books and illuminated manuscripts have been destroyed in an orgy of senseless rampaging; the Orcs have even built a bonfire of books and bookcases, though a few of the latter still stand, empty and forlorn, against the walls. There may be some clues left in the debris, if you are willing to spend some time in searching. If you decide to do this, you must eat a meal, then turn to 373. If you decide that this shambles isn't worth investigating, tum to 3 and explore elsewhere.

Getting kind of repetitive....once again, eat and search or not?

There's probably a scroll here, which is no good to us. Half a vote for no search.

good point. A full vote for not searching

Sirocco · Post by **Sirocco** » Sat Apr 30, 2016 10:27 am

I'll vote in favor of searching, in case we find a Magic Ring.

Darth Rabbitt · Post by **Darth Rabbitt** » Sat Apr 30, 2016 2:25 pm

We already have one of those and I can't imagine every search will turn up something useful. Skip searching this room.

SGamerz · Post by **SGamerz** » Sun May 01, 2016 1:42 am

If we don't search, we just get directed back to the previous section, so please vote which door you wish to open next.

Mr Shine · Post by **Mr Shine** » Sun May 01, 2016 7:13 am

2nd door south

Sirocco · Post by **Sirocco** » Sun May 01, 2016 7:57 am

Agreed.

ashimbabbar · Post by **ashimbabbar** » Sun May 01, 2016 10:16 am

2nd door south

Darth Rabbitt · Post by **Darth Rabbitt** » Sun May 01, 2016 2:32 pm

Again, 2nd door south.

SGamerz · Post by **SGamerz** » Mon May 02, 2016 1:10 am

This door bears a simple magical rune but it has no visible lock. So will you:

Cast an Open spell (if you can)?
Beat the door down?
Search elsewhere?

Apparently not even the Wizard character can figure out what the rune means, so it's a kind of blond choice for everyone. Use a spell here?

Sirocco · Post by **Sirocco** » Mon May 02, 2016 7:08 am

Mr Shine · Post by **Mr Shine** » Mon May 02, 2016 7:08 am

Cast the spell.

ashimbabbar · Post by **ashimbabbar** » Mon May 02, 2016 9:31 am

so, we can't read a simple magical rune

The rune must be a guardian glyph that wounds/curses whoever tries to force the door, so it's either spell it or leave it.
Now the question is whether it is guarding something worthwhile or it's just here to troll the reader.
I guess it's worh a try ( : it discouraged Zagor's minions to look inside ), let's spell it open.
