"A left here would be south, take us more or less under our own holding."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 182):

i missed a bit about the meteor: I believe a crude bronze grill had been placed over the hole, and the metal itself was about a level below; the covrr was about a foot and a half accross... it emwas buried deep in the last thread.

"Agreed Mario, south let us ken what below our holdings."

OOC:  We recovered the chunk itself (Brodak kept insisting on carrying it, so despite Jareth not handing it over on camera, he had to have as he's cast spells since then), but there was a bunch of micro-fragments embedded in the surrounding stonework.  We've discovered that Divine Shape Stone can move it, but it would have taken a lot of time to retrieve all the "meteor dust" and "fragments" so we left the embedded debris (for now, Jareth has plans to get it later... as with all his plans this might never come to fruition).

Also, reminder, Mario has the keyring acquired from the smugglers, unless he decided to give it back.

OOC: thanks for the reminder, Jareth, I'd completely forgotten the keyring, what with jumping leeches and a fire lord and all this talk of the Plumber...

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 185):

having travelled north to the baths, you are heading south past the stepwell and the airway, yes?

OOC: I thought I recalled the silver being to the east, and going to the baths because that corridor led approximately the right direction.

Still, let's take a left, which then would be west.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 187):

you are heading straight past the stairs, or making a left just past them?

I was suggesting making a left just past the stairs -- but there were half a dozen other people with me just now...

OOC:  Yes, we're still with you Mario, just letting you take over leading as you have the Absolute Direction sense...

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 190):

Just holding the light and following along...

In reply to Clarence Montague (msg # 191):

the lefthand turning is fairly narrow, 2 yards wide, with a barrel vaulted ceiling.
It continues ahead about 10 yards before turning left again

He moves forward cautiously shield up and axe ready.

"Hmmm.  Back toward the baths, more or less."  Mario continues cautiously.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 194):

As you advance, you can see that the leftward turning branches to the right as well.

"Okay, if we keep straight, we're headed more or less back toward the baths, turn here and we're going east.  Preferences, or should we cast lots?"

Well I don't seem to recall another tunnel at the baths, so maaybe we should search to the end, then we can check out the right tunnel.

"Or least far enough see if turns, branches, or goes up or down."

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 198):

"If they do not likely go far, then quickly checking them might be a good idea."

"Northward it is, then, for now."

OOC: about how far east did we come before that left turn?

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 200):

you went west from the baths about 100yds before making the turn

OOC: The baths were north, we came back south and turned left, that should be east unless we're in Oz.  Or am I confused again?  Or are the baths back to being east from the stairs and gate?

I intended to ask how far we'd gone in the narrow passage before the first left turn that led to the fork to the right...

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 202):

Thank you. The baths were North, you headed south toward the stairs and turned left(west). the western passage heads 20 yards before turning North.

this passage is fairly narrow, 2 yards wide... right begore the baths there werepassages east and west that were a yard wide.

OOC: Once again, unless we're in Oz, going south and turning left heads us east.

Just trying to be sure a) Jareth's map doesn't get holes erased into the parchment, and b) we're actually going where we think we're going.  Twenty yards east of the main passage that separates the gate with the Kilroy inscription and the ventilator shaft with the damaged fan below, we turned left (north) again, then came to a passage forking off to the right (east).

There seems to be a consensus to continue northward for the moment.

I (the player) don't have Mario's built-in compass (as I learned after moving to North Carolina where streets aren't straight and change names every mile or so) but I've got a pretty decent memory...  ;)

Do you think that changes south of the equator? Care to explain how?

OOC:  Everything is backwards and upside down in Oz.  Australia too... I mean they willingly eat vegemite there.
