The elf digs out a bit of bat fur from his pouch, then begins  a very lengthy ritual. Muttering under his breath, he traces several intricate patterns in the air. Each sweep of his hand slowly builds the glowing representation of an eye in the air, each syllable seeming to give the construct more solidity. A full ten minutes passes as the party watches the process, then finally, the giant eye blinks once and vanishes from sight. Anaerion finds himself possessed of a direct, close up view of the gap in the front door to the asylum. Dim light flickers beyond, though such has always been enough for his elven sight. He nudges with his mind, and the vision proceeds inside.The entryway is clear of furniture, but not of people. Three figures are spaced around the entryway, each bound tightly by ropes and straight-jackets. The man to the north merely rocks back and forth, knees to his chest. The flickering light of the candles in wall sconces gives him a glazed look.A woman to the east of the room has just enough slack to be laying on the floor, where she licks at the filthy surface. She's apparently been here long enough that she's licked clean nearly all of the floor she can reach, though her blackened tongue continues to seek out more.The young man to the south is much like the first. He rocks slowly, biting his lip. Like the woman, however, he's apparently been at his activity for a good long while. Blood runs down his chin and stains the front of his shirt as Anaerion takes in the fact that the man hasn't just been biting his lip; he's managed to eat most of it. Neither pain nor blood seem to have fazed him, however.There are five doors out of the entry hall: a pair of double doors at the east end, Doors into rooms directly to the north and south of the eastern exit, and a fifth door nearer the entrance and to the south. All of them, like the front door of the Asylum, lie cracked open...[sblock=ooc]Alrighty, I'm going to try to make this as simple as possible, and let me know if you guys want me to modify in some way:With the 'look at everything' method for Arcane Eye, the eye can move 100 ft / minute. The duration of the spell is 7 minutes at Anaerion's current level. I plan on just counting out 700 feet, then calling the duration expired. I think that's easier than trying to figure out if something is or isn't a pause, etc.Because I'm assuming the eye's constantly moving, then, and Anaerion's relaying info as he gets it, I'll reveal the map, but won't be adding NPCs to it. I'll leave it up to you guys to note where / how many folks are in any location in whatever detail you like. It seems a decent compromise between forcing you to create your own map and just throwing open the floodgates for everything.Sound good? If so, I just need to know which door Anaerion wants to try first. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> [/sblock][gm]Distance remaining: 695 / 700 ft.[/gm]</blockquote>
