*sighs*
Look Cal I brought this extra string vest with me as I came into the labyrinth. I've been unwinding it ever since we came in. All we have to do is follow the vest string and we'll get back to the beginning.
*Sees Trin with a large ball of vest string*
smiley - yikes You didn't...!

No, Trin's friend Hilary, the Polar Bear of undetermined gender. Fish eater extraordinaire and feller of walrusses. But don't say walrus to Trin or he'll cry.

* Enters the Labyrinth cautiously, fearing for the slightest of agitating sounds on either side. Takes candle and explores passage-ways. Climbs a wall, follows a secluded and narrow passageway, crawls beneath a stone block, pushes aside a boulder, climbs the ladder, turns right and goes up the stairs, jumps the small ravine, sprints over the rickety bridge, avoids the precarious stalactites, swims the tiny pool of murky fluid, and emerges in another room of the Castle...

Where did you come from. We've misplaced the string that would lead us out of here.

DO YOU KNOW THE WAY OUT?










Sorry, I had a panic attack.
