Ok wtf

[OkaPoka]

Blacksmith smells like loot i play minecraft im a real gamer

[lilith2013]

do you think food might heal us? I'm kind of thinking food storage.

[OkaPoka]

We have rations so idk

[Bell]

Yay so we're in the castle now?
I can't think of any hints that would be relevant here.
Oh, the spiral stairway cases go up.

[OkaPoka]

lilith wants to go food to hopefully heal

i counter with blacksmith the hopefully get good gear

[Bell]

Tbh, the map seems to show that the kitchen and the black smiths are in the same room, they're just different doors.

[Bell]

The south rooms lead to a winding stair case that seems to be a dead end. Or immediately drops us into a dungeon, either or.
The north seems to allow us to enter the area on the second floor.

Might as well go to the food storage first. If we can/are forced to back track we can probably use whatever we get from the food storage in the kitchens. Then go to the blacksmiths before advancing.
If we can't back track we should probably just go the right way, which seems to be the food storage/stair room on the north side.

I concur, want extra food if given that we're so squishy

although admittedly the random monster encounter chance when resting makes me feel like the 1 hit point regained isn't worth it if we'll have to fight again every 1/6 times

the rules say the map is not necessarily complete, and you're expected to fill in the details, so don't assume rooms are connected just because there's no wall shown on the map

L17.

This dark, empty food pantry is roughly 12 feet wide and 15 feet long. One door stands in the south wall.
Check for a wandering monster in this room. Follow the steps in entry

If you encounter and defeat a monster, you may go through the south door (entry

You are on Castle Level I. This dark hallway is 5 feet wide and 78 feet long. A closed portcullis blocks the east end. Double doors stand at the hallway's west end. You cannot open the portcullis or the doors.
Stables line the north and south walls of the room. Straw fills all of the stables.
Two sets of spiral staircases lead from this room. The door to the southwest staircase stands 5 feet from the double doors. The door to the northwest staircase stands behind the stables along the north wall.
Beyond the stables to the east, two doors line the north wall, and three doors line the south wall. A carved sign has been hung on each door. The signs on the north doors are in Common and read, from west to east, "Stairs," and "Food Storage." The signs on the south doors are also in Common and read, from west to east, "Blacksmith," "Kitchen Entrance," and "Kitchen Exit,"

L19.

This blacksmith's shop is roughly 12 feet wide and 15 feet long. Part of the south wall curves outward. A door in this wall leads to a spiral staircase. Another door stands in the north wall.
A blacksmith's hammer lies in the ashes of the forge in this room. You may use the hammer as a mace. (If you take the hammer, add it to your character sheet, and cross out the first two sentences of this paragraph.)

Magic-users may use only daggers in combat.
