I shall make my way to the doorway and open it.
Excellent. Now, Gibnah's turn.

Exact positions are more helpful. ;)

Sorry, I will move to the left of Terence. I can attack diagonally so if there's something behind the door it'll get a good spearin'

Assuming Paulox doesn't move there when he takes his turn, I'll take up the rear and stand slap bang in the middle of the room.

I'd like to stand slap bang in the middle of the room, please. -_-

No, I'll stand level with the door but two tiles back from it, please.

Thanks, guys. I won't be available to update this until tonight. See you then.

I'm assuming we were all instantly vaporised by whatever was on the other side of the door Gibby opened, and Doug is too nice to come in and tell us :lol:

Okay, two tiles back from the door IS the centre of the room. ¬_¬

So, Paulox is in the centre of the room. Where are you going to stand, Bellis?

Is it? :lol:

I had genuinely no idea, I hadn't gone back to the map to cross-reference.

Generally speaking, it's quite helpful to look at the map when you tell me where you want to stand on it. Just sayin'. ¬_¬

Terence opens the door and peeps his head out of it. There is a corridor beyond it, with another door further along the wall. All is quiet.

It is now the HERO PHASE once again. This time, in addition to the usual 12-space movement rules, you may also opt to search the room you're in for hidden treasure INSTEAD of moving. Bellis may choose the turn order.

Assuming I will need to be the first person to enter the corridor, my move will be to go right up to that door and open it. Perhaps someone else will search for treasure?

I'll go first this time, followed by Terence, Gibnar and Paulox.

I'd like to SEARCH THE ROOM.
