Just want to chime in and say I agree, we're probably looking at some kind of slave trade based on that riddle. The list of kidnapees is interesting, and while I don't see a pattern I don't think it's a coincidence that so many different people and professions have been taken.

also ... my character hasn't seen the map yet, but I have.

What do you guys make of that map? Do we have a specific point in mind that we want to check out, or are we looking at a room-by-room search for now?
