Carry the keys ourselves and check the possible warning notice on the floor.

Beyond the Nightmare Gate posted:Slowly and carefully you step onto your chosen flagstone. Nothing happens and you breathe a sigh of relief. The door is in the left wall; we haven't been told where the stairs are or how many flagstones across the room is.

It would be kind of funny if the book just let you walk out the door you came in and made you do the key puzzle again.

achtungnight posted:Whoa, there are stairs behind us now? Behind us as we're now facing the door that was to our left as we came in. The layout of this room is not well described, but the stairs were mentioned briefly. So the stairs ahead of us are through the door we just blasted open, the stairs behind us are the stairs we saw as we first entered this room.

Let's go forward on These stairs.

Beyond the Nightmare Gate posted:You walk down the stairs into a dimly lit cellar full of rusty armour. You have entered the tower’s store room and the weapons of countless adventurers lie corroding at your feet. A tangle of cobwebs brushes against your face as your attention is caught by the glint of new metal. A closer examination reveals a large Bunch of Keys. If you wish to keep the Bunch of Keys, mark it on your Action Chart as a Special Item. We are now heading to the stairs we have not yet tried in case that's not clear. The Grey Star books seem to make more use of repeating the same sections in different situations than the Lone Wolf books do but aren't really written carefully enough to do that seamlessly, so this bit seems to assume that we haven't yet opened the door and gone through and therefore only know of one staircase.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:There can be only one. Beyond the Nightmare Gate posted:You step on the flagstone and, to your relief, no sword drops. The stairway is ahead and to the left, the tower entrance is behind, and the small doorway is to the left and behind. Because of those reused sections we have turned around again so we are now facing the same direction we were when we first entered the room, which makes this needlessly confusing, but hopefully there's enough information there to make things clear.
