[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 7410861, member: 82106"] Yes, I got the whole dust thing, so dice for it! I mean, its effectively arbitrary where people search. Or have it work like if they check the first 'distinction' in [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION]'s list, that's OK, but each one stirs up MORE dust, so if you have to get to #3, and you used fire for your light source, then kaboom! I don't see a need for 17 things to be fully described. Well, sure you can, if that's the consideration, then the Box is a distinction, which Pemerton mentioned as an option IIRC. Again, I don't see how some long list of things in the room helps you here. I subscribe to the theory of "one, two, many, too many" being the dramatic version of number theory... I mean, if it was an enumeration of a fantastical dragon horde, then that would be one thing, it could be FUN to just reel off a huge list of crazy stuff, for color purposes mainly.
