"Well, why did you bring it up?"

"Because unless we want to keep wandering around aimlessly for a few months, we'll probably need to figure that out."

"Should we try to find and talk to one of those snake people again?"

TAAron sighed. "Well, then, I'm at a loss for how we could figure out the correct path. If the hallways are being shifted around randomly, there wouldn't really be much of a pattern to follow, would there?"

"They're not shifted around as far as I know, they're just put together in a non-Euclidean way."

"Do you think we might notice something if we note down connections between hallways? If we could label each one with some unique identifier, then we could maybe get an idea of how these hallways connect to each other."

"Maybe. We'd have to make the marking out of iron, as the Finn would remove it otherwise."

"That might be difficult... How did the people in the book do it?"

"I told you, luck. They chose random directions, and got through to the Chamber extremely quickly."

"So, unless we have a magical way to manipulate luck, we should probably get to learning how these hallways connect, how consistent it is, and then hopefully we can uncover new hallways more efficiently."

"Sure. That might work. Eventually."

TAAron groaned. "Look, I'm trying my best here. Do you have a different suggestion?"

Is there a particular solution here that you're going for?

"Well, I think almost anywhere else in this dimension would make a good start."

No, not really.

"Well, if you want me to make a gateway, we'll have to stop moving for a bit."

Lerac had come back to wishing a tune, which has grown slower as the man became more bored. "Anything particularly interesting about it?" he asked.

"Not really. I can teleport to pretty much anywhere, as long as I know how to get there. I can look at a map, for example, and teleport to any location on it."

"Yeah. And I have no idea how to get to the Chamber of Bonds. Still I could at least try making a gateway to see if it works."

TAAron put in, "Do you think it would help at all to visualize what you know about the Chamber itself, and the rooms around it?"

"Maybe, but I just don't know enough about movement in this dimension. I can't comprehend where it is. If I could see the location, I could travel to it, but just knowing what it looks like isn't enough, especially since I've never been there."
