"We can cover more ground if we split up," I proposed, "Uberbob and I'll go west, Fawriel and Araches go east, and Leetzan, Fooruman, and the Mythslayer go north, and everyone come back in one minute."
Everyone nodded and went their respective directions. Uberbob and I passed through the western door, went through a short hallway, and came out in another open room. This one was smaller, but still dome shaped and made of ice. A simple, square doorway was on the north and south walls, a faint white glow coming from both of them.
"This room is boring," Uberbob observed. "It's like a connector for two other rooms because the designer of this place was limited to four exits per room."
"That's kind of a weird explanation, but yeah," I said, "Nothing of interest here. Let's meet back up."
We walked back to the fountain. A few minutes later, Araches and Faw arrived, and a few minutes after that came Leetzan, Fooruman, and the Mythslayer.
"Our direction was boring and empty. More doors," Uberbob said, "I'm never going west again."
"Boring?" Araches asked, "We found a campsite or something. And a dead person. And food."
"I brought food too..." Fawriel began.
Araches glared at him. "You brought a kabob. It was a cherry, a shrimp, and a piece of lettuce on a toothpick."
"You guys would get mad if I brought so much it slowed us down..."
"We found a deep cliff, a riddle, wall carvings... and... I guess a save point or som3thing," Leetzan interrupted, "you should probably come look."
"Said carvings, they tasted of - not ice - but STONE," Fooruman added
The Mythslayer described it differently. "And a great unholy presence radiated from the depths."
This already sounded like it wasn't going to be a fun day.
Fawriel snacked on the kabob.
