[QUOTE="Gray Shade, post: 2694632, member: 32340"] "The search" it should be noted, is a customary ritual for a dungeoneeror. Even in such settings of detriment and decay as this one, a proper delver will still throw in "the search." As what has gone before in a location cannot always be surmised from simply, "a look" "the search" becomes imperative, and once perfected, habit. It can uncover a wide array of items which would otherwise be overlooked, including: secret or concealed doors, trap triggers, traps already triggered, eavesdroppers and/or observers, hidden people or creatures, or even treasures (as the reader will remember from the search of the office earlier); the list continues [i]ad nauseum.[/i] In the case of the living quarters of the Black Keep, however, "the search" resulted in its most usual outcome, but an outcome without which no delver would be comfortable to leave an area--that of discovering "nothing of interest." Therefore, if for nothing less than an eased mind and a comfortable dungeoneeror, "the search" is never in vain. It was with this sense of comfort, knowing that we'd done what we could (although we found nothing), that we moved back to the main building, where the fire tower had stood. Once there, we seemed to have several options open to us. I turned to my master and, not to rush him, said, [color=royalblue]"Sir?"[/color] [/QUOTE]
