It's too bad I didn't deign to instill in Thurst a level of knowledge about other religions.

Unless I misread Ringo's post, the stairs are the ones we came down to enter the room.

Oh. I somehow thought from the sentence "a staircase leading back up" comment that there were two sets of stairs, since if the staircase is the same one one would naturally say "the staircase leading back up". But I see what you mean, he only mentions one set of stairs. I don't quite have time to edit the post at the moment, perhaps just ignore the crazy dwarf and move on?

No, I was unclear. There are stairs in the west wall in both the NORTHWEST corner (where you just came down) and the SOUTHWEST corner, which presumably leads to the room where you had the fight.

So the room should look like this?

------
S....B  S = Stairs we came down
|....B  B = Barricade of trash
|....B
|....B  s = unused stairs leading up
s....b  b = portion of barricade with the tunnel

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Exactly right.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

The northwest stairs were the ones you came down.

The southwest stairs are the ones you haven't explored yet.

Yes, I want to inform the group of what Valana heard.

Maybe come up with a plan, too.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Maybe come up with a plan, too.

See, this is the part that throws me as a DM. In my Midwood campaign, one group of players (the fugitives) is currently operating under a two-stage plan: "1) get captured by pirates, 2) come up with rest of plan." And that's pretty much how the whole campaign has gone so far.

I'm actually a tad surprised we haven't been kidnapped by Pirates yet.
