Sorry about being so absent lately! I should be more active soon-ish.

so it must either be a dead end or it connects to 2223. i believe we should try that room this phase

Did Airlea see an east exit for 2223?

A southern exit? >_>

I meant did Airlea see an exit which connects 2223 and the trapped room. Maybe that's what you meant.

If so, it's worth checking out, as backwards as that sounds since we'll be killing off one of Walton's lives. I do find it kinda doubtful that that room would link up to the guardian room, considering the other exit is sealed and you can't teleport into it, but I guess we won't know unless we try. I have no idea how else we'd be able to get into that room.

If this doesn't work, though, I think we might want to try meeting up with Lee and Urk before proceeding. Depending upon how close they are from us at that point.

Also, that's exciting news about the staircase! Even though that's what we were mostly expecting it to be. Hopefully they can find Virgil up there.

(quadruple post!)

Boone, can you post the room description for the 2223 guardian room? Maybe there's something we're missing there.

Rita did you ever speak to talion here? I doubt he has much interesting info and his role was taken when he died and I think he might be excluded from the game by quitting but... never hurts to try.

I tried to talk to Taylor when I saw his body but I was told I'm not allowed. I assume the same goes for Talion.

So 2223 just has that sealed north exit?

If the north room is a dead end, that's pretty intriguing. It might be important then. I'm just not sure it's worth potentially killing off one of Walton's lives for. But I'm not sure that we have a better lead right now, either.

Empress Rita @ 27/5/2013 16:22 So 2223 just has that sealed north exit? both future and past 2223 have a north and south exit. 2223s south exit is the one we see.. *points up to balcony* up there. but we do not know if its sealed or not

mmm...okay. I did not know this.

Maybe Airlea's group will find it? Aren't they still on the upper level?

Boone @ 27/5/2013 16:58

4958 is the teleport that sends people here. i believe trEE is in 5730 right now and will head south into 4958. but i cannot be sure. if that is the case. then us. tree. and urk will all be in thrEE rooms next to each other. rita. could you leave a chalk message here telling leee to enter the past and exit west?

Will do!

Why do we want to head to the past, though? Aren't we trying to find the balcony, which only exists in the future? Sorry if this has already been answered while I was gone.

Will do! Why do we want to head to the past, though? Aren't we trying to find the balcony, which only exists in the future? Sorry if this has already been answered while I was gone. theres only a north and east exit here in the future. the past version of this rooom offers us a path into the SW. once we get there we can explore the past SW. or travel to the future and explore future SW. *thinks* of we can explore past SW and airleas group can explore future SW

*slaps forehead*

Right.

Well, I'm not sure if we should do much more exploring in the past besides looking for Neptune. It just seems needless now that we have the sword and we're relatively short on time.

Well, we can still check out that northern room. But other than that... maybe Neptune/storm?

We don't even know if their bridge will lead back to the ground, though. I wouldn't be surprised if it leads to an upper level with the balconies and what-not. At least I hope so. If so, us exploring the southwest doesn't interfere with them at all.

It's a moot point, though, if Brie doesn't get on soon.

I think Boone or someone else active should be holding the staff now. No offense, Brie. =/

But at least we have alternative options this time instead of being completely stuck if she doesn't come on.

I could barely take more backtracking but it's not a terrible idea. At least we'd meet up with Lee and possibly Urk.

I think west is our best option if Brie gets on, then north but only if Walton deems it wise to (potentially) kill off one of his lives for that, then east.
