Hey, a question. No, make that three:
1) Level 3, there's no passage from the stairs into area 2?
2) Area 2 is only accessible (somehow) up from area 3 on level 2?
3) So the stairs from area 1 basically go straight down to area 3 and 6?
Looks really nice and I'm thinking about running this as an introduction to Shadowdark this weekend. Just got confused by the map so would love a clarification :)
Yeah, the map is a tad confusing, but you've got it. You can access area 2 from area 3: Just above the table, the ceiling is open to the loft area. When run it, jumping up from the table and climbing up works. I also describe the descent from area 1 to 3 as feeling extra long, like you're going down two storeys.
I hope running it goes well! Let me know if you have other questions.
